I believe that for some time now, Money Market Fund (MMF) has outperformed Federal Government Bond. About 10 to 18% AER is offered by MMF, and profits are paid out either monthly or quarterly. The lowest interest rate I've sedn recently is 11%, despite the fact that it varies. Check out Axamansard, Stanbic First Bank, and other institutions. Each one provides MMF.

I've had the FBN MMF for about 8 years now. Good rates, usually a little higher than Tbills and Commercial Papers and it's very accessible. You can withdraw easily. There was a time it hit about 19% or so

Hello Sir.

Thank you so much for your response.

The FGN bond option sounds cool and secured to me. I will give it a thought.

Since it's a lump sum investment, perhaps I would save up like 2-3 months equivalent and close my eyes to try it out.

Thank you.



One of the best ways to invest your money in Nigeria is to buy real estate or land from a reputable company that offers installment payment options. This way, you can avoid the low returns since most commercial banks loan out these money for enterprises for returns. Real estate market prices are not regulated in Nigeria and can increase significantly in a short period of time, especially if you buy from a company that has a good track record and a valid title, preferably a Certificate of Occupancy (COC).

if you're looking to get some of the relative stability of MMFs, but without the risk of Naira devaluation, you can consider the S & P 500. It has an average return of about 9 - 11% (depending on how you calculate) over the past ~100 years. It's denominated in USD but that might not necessarily be a bad thing as it appears the $ is trending stronger against the £.

There are several index funds that track it, but the VUSA is easy to recommend, being from Vanguard, one of the biggest investment companies globally, and having minimal fees.

There are other things to consider - timeline (it's best for long-term investments), tax, portfolio diversity etc. There are also a wide range of other indexes you can track e.g. FTSE 100 and 250, NASDAQ 100 etc. You can even do a global equity index. Ultimately, DYOR.

Thank you boss.

Please, the consultant part do you mean the driving lesson instructor?

Sure, your driving instructor might be able to help. You can also use ‘ drivinginstructorhub dot co dot Uk’ they render the service as well at a more cheaper rate, it might take longer to get a date though.

There is, actually, the NDIC - but it only covers banks and mortgage institutions, not other financial institutions such as insurance companies, fintechs etc, and the the maximum specified limits for the MFB and PMB sub-sectors are N200,000.00 and N500,000.00 per depositor per bank, respectively, sha. No matter how much you have in there.

How useful those figures will be is another question entirely though cheesy

For anyone curious, the UK's is £85,000 via the FSCS, and the US is $250,000.

Good evening all… I’ll be traveling to Derby in August.
I’m in need of a studio apartment or an en-suit room in a shared apartment.
Any house agents in the house?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Better ó 🤣. The whole thing is absurd.

I remember writing my dissertation and was comparing the limits in different countries, I refused to write the £ equivalent like I did for others, because I was just too embarrassed. I left it at 500,000 Naira.

Has anyone here added someone to their credit card? Authorized user

Does it have an effect one one's credit and does it help boost the other party's score too?

I added someone to my credit card some time back. I don't remember exactly if my score dipped a little because of that.
If my score dipped, it went back up the following month.

Does it directly help the person as normal?

And do they need anything to be approved

This is what I discussed month's ago, when I mentioned piggybacking off someone's credit card, if obtaining a cc, was proving difficult........

It would help boost the piggybackers cc score, because that authorised user, is now registered on the credit card database........

I believe it should help cos the additional party now has their details in the CC database.

For mine, the additional party just needed to download the CC App and register the card, and upload their BRP (for confirming the user's identity)

If I have £1,000 CC limit, can they also have £1,000 limit? Or they will spend out of my own £1,000 total balance based on what I allocate to them?
