Frequently Asked Questions

• Why does JECedit offer individual mentoring loan?

  JECedit offers Individual Mentoring Loan because we assume that Microfinance Banks are exploiting the poor through microcredit loans. We believe that microcredit is not a business to make a huge profit by any entity. Instead, microcredit should be used to help the poor to engage in any activity that would help them meet their basic needs. Thus, instead of keeping our savings in the hands of investment bankers and brokers, we decided to help aspiring individuals and the poor because it will help them to meet basic needs and fulfill their life purpose.

• My thesis supervisor told me that my thesis is descriptive. She advised me to be analytical to get a good grade. I asked her what she meant by being analytical; she said that I should present a logical argument, but I still did not understand what she meant. Please, what does it mean to be analytical? Please use simple language.

  To be analytical in your thesis means that you should connect three things, theory, previous research, and empirical evidence in your argument. You can learn more by reading the book title “Research & Academic Writing for Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral Students” (Conable, 2018). The book addresses the basic topics that would help you to formulate research questions, aim, theoretical, and philosophical underpinning of your research. You should register on My Account page and search for the title on the Book Store. You can also receive free research and academic writing resources by clicking “Services,” locating “Free Research and Academic Writing Resources,” and Download.

• I have asked my lectures the difference between hypothesis and assumption, and I have searched through google but I did not find clear explanation. Could you please tell me, what is the different between hypothesis and assumption?

  A hypothesis is a statement of presupposition. Some hypothesis might suggest that one thing causes another while some might suggest that there is a relationship between two variables. A statement of hypothesis must be based on a priori assumptions (i.e based on theoretical presuppositions). It means that the statement must be accompanied with some testable propositions that will either nullify or confirm the hypothesis. It is not a hypothetical assumption, if a statement suggests that one thing causes another or there is an association between A and B based on a posteriori assumption. Assumption is what you think that most people accepted to be the truth about the issue. Example, daily, people make assumptions without knowing. For example, a week ago, a friend of mine, an African student at the Lund University was in my office when his mobile phone rang. The call was from his brother back home. After hearing that his sick uncle had died responded:

  1- The man would not have died if he had money to receive medical treatment. 

  2- In a later conversation with me, he added, most of the premature death in developing countries are caused by poverty.

  In 1 & 2 statements, he made hypothetical statements without knowing. The two statements suggest that the death of the uncle and premature deaths in the developing countries are positively associated with lack of money. The two statements will remain hypothetical assumptions until proven by testing some hypotheses. Therefore, an assumption is untested claim of reality while hypothesis is a construct that would be tested to determine the validity of the presupposition.

• I want to take a loan of NGN500, 000.00 for 12 months how much am I expected to pay at the end of 12 months?

  It depends on what type of loan you want. For example, if you need a business loan, the interest rate is 10% between 1-3 months. See Loan Product Features on the User’s dashboard.

  It means that 10% interest rate apply every 3 months. If you borrow NGN500, 000.00 from us, you will be expected to pay 50,000.00 plus the principal amount NGN 500, 000.00. Total amount ₦550, 000.00.00.  Monthly repayment is not expected.

  If you intend to borrow the same amount for 12 months, the total amount will be ₦700, 000.00. Monthly payment is expected and to pay NGN 60, 000 monthly for the first 8 months and NGN 55,000.00 for the last 4 months.

• Can I borrow NGN 1 M for a business loan?

  Business Loan up to ₦1 M is offered considering three situations.

  Situation 1

  First time JEC FINANCE loan user may not borrow up to NGN 1 M. Users are expected to borrow NGN 500K three times before applying for a business loan up to NGN 1 M. However, if a User has a known guarantor to JEC FINANCE with a strong financial standing, a first time User can borrow NGN 1 M.

  Situation 1 assumes that the person intends to return the principal amount plus interest within 30 days or 1 month. In this situation, the person is expected to pay 10% interest rate on NGN 1 M. It means the interest rate will be NGN 100 K plus principal amount NGN 1 M. Grand Total: ₦1, 100, 000.00. Monthly repayment is not expected.

  Situation 2

  If the person intends to return the principal amount plus interest within 60 days or 2 months, the person is expected to pay 10% interest rate on NGN 1 M on the first month ( 30 days), and on the second month 5%. It means the interest rate will be NGN 150 K plus principal amount NGN 1 M. Grand Total: ₦1, 150, 000.00. Monthly repayment is not expected.

  Situation 3

  In situation 3, the interest rate is 10% the first month and maturity date 1-3 months. It means that if a User borrowed NGN 1 M in 1 January 2020, by 30 March  2020, the User is expected to pay interest of NGN 200 K. This means the first month is 10%, and the 2 and 3 months, 5% each month, which means NGN 200 K at the end of 3 months. In other words, the total payment expected at the end of 3 months is 200 k plus the principal amount 1 Million: Grand Total ₦1,200, 000.00. Monthly repayment is not expected.
