InvestmentRe: How To Buy Stocks From Foreign Countries? by biolabee(m): 7:10am On Mar 23, 2013
stockbull: you will need domicilary account with nigeria bank here.
You will open account with foreign broker registered on the US exchange e.g tdameritrade
you will need an attorney in some of the broker,your bank statement of account. Tax form e.g w8-ben , and other few things but the problem now is that CBN pose a bitter face towards wire transfer and other forms of sending money abroad as they want to control money in our circulation and fight money laundering.
When back, i would check the necessary document you need from my file as am not around now.
Step 1 is not too difficult
Its step 2 becaise i find they dont accept accounts opened from Naija,, how does someone go around this

We will be standing by for when you get back

Q5. Demand and supplu equation are 2P2+Q2=11 and p+2q=7. Find the equilibriu price and quantity when p stand for price and Q for quantity.
At Equilibrum Supply = Demand
Solve using simultaneous equation
=
p = 7 - 2q

Substitute into equation one to yield 9q2 - 56q + 87 = 0

p = 1 q = 3

Alternate soln p = 0.56 q = 3.22

Q4. If #1000 000 was deposited in a bank on 1st April 2013, what would it amount on 1st April 2033 if the compound interest at 3% per annum was allowed.
4. Similar principle
Assuming a depoSit is made on 1st April 2033 and the investment is liquidated
n = 20 YEARS
FV factor = (1.03 ^ 20 - 1)/0/.03 = 26.87037449

if you assume you are collecting what you have as at that date without that day investment, you subtract one

FV factor will then be 25.87037449

So multipliy by 1,000,000 to get the FV

Q3. To accumulate a fund for his daughter's higher education, a man invests a sum of #1000 on the daughter's first birthday and an equal amount on each of her subsequent's birthdays if the interest is compounded semi annually at the rate of 6% per annum, find the amount accumulated jst after the investment has been made on the 18th birthday?
Sorry I have checked in in a while, you guys were going too quantum for me tongue


Semiannual compounding means 3% every 6 months
At the 18 birthday means there are 17 years since the investment started on the 1st year hence we will be looking at 33 periods (2n -2) Where n = 17 because this looks at the end of the 17th year

However because the payments are on an annual nature, the interest rate will be annualized to get an effective annual rate

Eff rate r eff = 1.03 ^ 2 - 1 = 6.09%

This will be applied for 18 - 1 = 17 years
Formulas

Future Value factor = ((1 + reff )^N - 1)/reff

Formula Future Value = Equal payment * Future Value factor

FV factor = 1.0609^17-1/0/0609 = 28.4385106

FV = 1000 * 28.4385106 = 28,438.51

shymexx: The books you listed focused on European history - no one wants to hear about African history... Most people of other races in the West have never heard about some of our revered writers... You may check the GuardianUK about the page dedicated to Chinua Achebe's death in the CIF section... it has only 19 comments and most of the people who posted comments there are Africans... Heck, a redneck also posted an ignorant comment on there, but thank God Daniel Waweru was there to call him out for his stupidity...

I honestly don't think there's a market out there for it...
I know brah.. just saying that these are successful books and they dwell from a time of yore..

shymexx: Opinions are like ar.seholes, everyone is entitled to one... I believe the Senegalese people would also say the same about Chiekh Anta Diop... and Yoruba people believe Wole Soyinka is the greatest black writer ever... You don't need to argue it, just let it slide... At the end of the day, their body of work, their awards, and how their works stand the test of time will judge who the best is when it's all said and done...
True that.....

shymexx: Bwahahahahahaha - your hands are clean till she comes to your house with a baby... Don't worry, I'll ask the "oga at the top" and let you know if he wants you to proceed with the adventurism or not...

I honestly don't think most of them are ashamed of our history, they're just either lazy, or don't think the public wants to know about our pre-colonial days... Cash rules everything and how many Africans want to buy a book that talks about the achievements or lack thereof of their ancestorshuh We've all been brainwashed to believe life started when the first white man came to Africa - telling them otherwise would you seem disconnected from their own reality...

Most of them people who tried that in the past died wretched and broke... grin However, the few of us who appreciate the time they dedicated to giving us those wonderful stories of the old Africa will never forget about their sacrifice(s)..
One crazy book i read was Palm Wine Drinkard
Do you remember Cyprian Ekwensi, he covered that era also.....

you are right,,money rules but interestingly most best selling books worldwide cover a pre historical/fantasy theme

Twilight - though modern heavy inspiration from Bram Stoker's Dracula - lovely book
Harry Potter - witches
The Ring books - Tolkien a time the earth was pure
50 shades - D H Lawrence...
Hunger Games - gladiatorial challenges


There is a market for it
I can imagine the coming generation will question us why we never helped them put roots

I Remember (in memoriam of a great legend)

I remember the vanquishing of Amalinze the Cat
I remember the hunt for the source of the ogbanje in Ezinne
I remember i cried when Ikemefuna was killed and Okonkwo the man with a spring in his step had to be exiled

I remember he looked on his mother's family with disdain though they accommodated him
I remember that when a boy washes his hands, he can eat with the elders
I remember the tale of the bed that learnt to fly without landing as men have learned to shoot without missing

I remember the irreversible progress of colonialism and subsequent loss of our traditional values
I remember Okonko's first son dropping his name for Isaac
I remenber Okonkwo leaving in shame for the world he lost

Things fall apart and the centre cannot hold
Mere anarchy is loose on the land

That's how women are, once you engage them, they start getting attracted to you... Women love strong men who can put it down lol... Bro, you need to take her on a long strip and do your thing...#LowestKey grin

I'm not really into both Wole Sotinka and Chinua Achebe's books, to be honest... Probably, read a few books from the both of them - and a few other books by other Nigerian literary giants like: Chimamanda and Okri... Not really a fan of fiction - I prefer books that deals African history with archaeological evidence(s)...

I'm kind of Afrocentric and my scholarship deals pre-colonial books - but most Nigerian writers are post-colonial writers..
Abegi o.. e jooo Owo mi mo cheesy grin cool grin

Ive not read Ben Okri in a while and neither Chimamanda but looking at the last 5 winners of the Literature, the writer has to have a strong blend of his roots with contemporary narration (contemporary now covers war, same sex issues, economic deprivations) - issues that can move the world on an emotional scale
