Investing in Nigeria
« on: October 05, 2005, 06:15 PM »

I see the idea of investing has been shot down in the forum recently, this is fine. However investing is one way of diversifying wealth. So I am interested in what kind of platform exists in Nigeria e.g where company press release, share price graph, broker list and possibly online brokers can be obtained.

Effectively I think it will be good idea to collect all websites that are available with information on investing or companies listed on the Nigeria stock market.

PS: Warren Buffet started by investing in the stock market using the somewhat famous "Value investing" method.

List of websites so far:

Stockbrokers
www.cashcraft.com
www.experesson-line.com and
www.africanfinancialmarkets.com
www.amyninvestments.com/

Company Information
www.allafrica.com

There's some information available on the earlier thread Investors in the Nigerian Stock Market, which is a roll-call those who have interest in investing in Nigeria.  I'm excited about the potential of this thread: the valuable information that's being shared here!

One other useful investment web site is SBA Research. Not only can you track your Nigerian Stock Exchange investments, you can do so for other African markets too.

Sorry to derail but Nigeria, South Africa is closing in hard and fast.ok see they are investing in power, bringing in shoprite and co...their businesses are meant to complement each other. Sorry to go to the racial crap but the blacks in sa are suffering and account for a gigantic chunk of non-corporate loans..Man, Nigerian investors and entrepreneurs stand fast and build. The government did not help by attempting to privatise NITEL after bringing foreign competion.Haba. the future looks bleak for Nigerian masses if this continues .where is protectionism?..pardon me, there is a lot of sentiment here but i think there is some logic to.

We tend to forget that investment does not only mean buying company shares an individual out 2 start his/her own business also is investing, i think we should talk also 'bout enterpreneurship and what it entails.

Re: Investing in Nigeria
« #15 on: July 23, 2007, 12:43 PM »

If you choose the right stockbroker, 50,000 should be enough to invest, provided you have enough patience.

@lekank, the truth is that if you really want to make good money from the stock market you really have to commit so much money into it.But that doesn't mean that you can't start small.Oh,if a bank offers N14.90k/Share and you can only afford 1000 units,that is N14,900.You can everly start from there.

If you are a patient investor, you can invest any amount. 
It's just a way to prevent your savings from depreciating.
You must be ready to leave your money invested for 10, 20 years if the company remains sound.

From my experience most stock brokers do not take less than 100 thousand. Unless you are a family member or member of staff.

@Miss world

If you are ready to buy shares, just check out my profile and mail me.  My friend is a Stock Broker and I just bought First Bank Shares at N33.00 per share.  I know First Bank has since closed but I bought it from my friend because they are still returning them.  I live in both Port Harcourt and Lagos State, but i'm more in Lagos now because of my work.  I don't know where you live, and I will ask him if he can still sell.  Only if you are interested.  I'm in Ikeja and my friend is in Ilupeju.  We both were living in Port Harcourt.

I know N49,500 will give you 1,500 units of First Bank shares at N33.00 per share.  I believe this will rise in a couple of months.  There other companies you can still buy shares.

Yes invest in Nigeria, Invest in http://www.talkofnaija.com  Its Nigerian owned  Wink. But on a serious note I think everyone would invest in Nigerian Companies if the risk wasnt so high for the rate of return

I am based in Abuja. I know what one can invest in if you have the cash,
"FOOD" sells well here, if you have an eatery here in abuja, you will make alot of money especially native food,

Since there is no beach in Abuja, anything that brings fun will definitely sell well here,

Anyone interested should take a week off from wherever he or she is and come to F.C.T. Do a tour and list what you think is lacking! thanks to nu metro cinemas for coming into town, now, that place is jam packed , silverbird galleria is about to start here, there re alot of opportunities here

Check it out!!!!!

@sandy

won't you tell us how much a big stall cost in Abuja and how many years' rent they collect.  Remember there is a high risk paying for a shop in Abuja because demolition exercise.
sandykoko (f)
Re: Investing in Nigeria
« #26 on: July 30, 2007, 12:26 PM »

well, as far as demolition is concerned, its on hold, remember there is no more El-Rufai!  the rate might be high but be rest assured you will get your money back in no time, besides if you want to get a space for your business, you get that space in the heart of town where other businesses re, by that you would put your mind at rest, for business purposes you pay for only one year.its only on accomodation issues that you pay 2yrs sometimes, a good investor usually dosent look at the cost but the returns, you make sacrifices to get what you want, if you don't make sacrifices, you will only wonder how it would ve been if you had taken the challenge,

But may i add that there is office to office supply of food, Good food at a reasonable price, drop a proposal to good companies around especially companies that rarely have the time to go for break, as a beginner, you could start from here,
if you want to go into other ventures and the resources is a problem, you could pool your resources with someone and make it work. Its more like a partnership thing, lets start from there!

Yea guys,  to invest in your own country is a good thing. i guess it will help the country economy grow. I  have done it and it really pays. and  when i started i started with very little money and about 5years later i'm counting thousands and i can pay for my school so you can start small and grow you just have to be patient,
