Hello guys.

Please u need an enlightenment.

I was going through my Facebook page.

And I saw an advert for Cisco training, certification and placement. Fee: 67,000.

Please I don't know how effective is this in getting a job. Any possibility of me coping since I don't have any background in computer or networking.

Please advice

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) is worth it. It may not get you your dream job but it sets you up for success. Get your CCNA, then go for AWS Certified Cloud Practicioner (that's if you're a newbie) if not skip AWS CCP and go straight to AWS Certified Solutions Architect

tensazangetsu20:
Na dont. The base level certifications are everywhere. Do cloud certifications instead. AWS, Azure and GCP or kubernetes and docker.

I disagree to an extent. Cloud is very profitable and in high demand but someone NEEDS to have a strong networking foundation to implement the cloud technologies properly.

So I'll advice the op to at least get his CCNA > AWS CCP or Azure fundamentals. From there he can decide in which direction to follow as his interest leads!

Internet is your friend, follow new about pension fund managers and mutual fund managers.

I have Investments with some of the mutual fund managers, they send fact sheet reports to investors every month

I try my best to follow but it feels like there is just too much to consume from too many sources at once and I tend to lose focus. I'm human naw lol. Anyway thanks a lot for your posts...you're unknowingly educating people here oh. God bless

emmanuelewumi:
Imagine

Stanbic IBTC Asset Management is the biggest fund manager with over N400 billion under management having just N6.3 billion in their equity fund.

FBN Quest Asset Management is the second biggest with over N250 billion under management having just N600 million in their equity fund

United Capital Asset Management is the third biggest with about N200 billion under management having just N1.4 billion in their equity fund.

Total fund under management by all the Mutual Fund Managers in Nigeria is over N1.6 Trillion, the amount allocated to equities is less than N40 billion.

Total fund under management with Pension Fund Managers is about N12.5 Trillion, the amount allocated to equities is roughly N500 billion.

I don't have the figures for the Insurance companies, I am sure less than 5% of their funds are in the equity market.


Keep on watching the percentage increase in the funds allocated to equities by Mutual Funds, Pension Fund Managers and Insurance companies, may be that will give us an idea of when things will turn around.

Please can you drop links to articles or websites where we can get info like this. It is eye opening.

erwinschro:
What brokerage do you guys use here? Which do you think is the best in terms of execution and which has the lowest fees?

Meristem**

Super fast execution and excellent customer service.

Fees high.

yMcy56:
What's AMC?

AMC is the hottest US stock right now. Done over 600+ % in the last month.

Honest Question.

Does one need to send dividend mandate every time dividend(s) will be paid assuming the shares held are never sold?

yMcy56:
Any insurance lover who can take time to go thru the referenced post (by OGG) will know which ones to try out.....

I equally fished out Royalex here last year or so, anyone that picked @22/23k and was patient will be smiling now.......
ROYALEX closed @83k........that's around +300% gain....
I'm watching STI and Chi too.......
Chi already moved from 33k, closed @51k today.

** Not any form of recommendation. DD applies**

I remember quite well how you were sounding the alarm about Royalex. Today it's trading at 3X the price. Your observation(s) was spot on...

Greens up and down. Hmmm...is this a sign of a rally?

locodemy:
Correct your grammar.
When we talk of NET of 3.1%.....
Buy/sell is inclusive.
Let's work it out with Meristem Buy/Sell %.

#awonder

On Meristem

Buy = 1.845%
Sell = 2.185%

What is the driving force behind Access' rise to #8.0+ ? Good 1Q result or acquisitions??

OBAGADAFFI:
Oba Otudeko used his Airtel shares as collateral for Honeywell's Ecobank loan.

Oba Otudeko used the same Airtel shares (and some Honeywell assets) as collateral for a First Bank loan.

According to news reports, Otudeko’s Airtel shares were used as collateral for Honeywell’s Ecobank loan. Yet, in an interesting turn of events, those same Airtel shares as well as some Honeywell assets were also used as collateral for the credit facility from First Bank.

According to one banking insider, “In a round about way, First Bank now owns the assets pledged to Ecobank.”

“So the same asset (Honeywell and Airtel) is allegedly pledged to Ecobank and none of the banks can move in on these assets. First Bank has an equity position while Ecobank has a debt position.”



Mad people everywhere

OBA MARADONA!!!

Please nairalanders I need your advice on something that has been bothering me for sometime now.

I am a young graduate who graduated from the university almost two years ago and am done with my youth service too but am still trying to get a job or put up something maybe a business that will be fetching me money considering the situation of our country in terms of availability of jobs.

Then there's is this girl I have been dating for three years and everything has been going well but recently she has been really disturbing me to come and see her people or get her pregnant, am someone that will do everything within my power to make sure my kids don't pass through the hardship I have passed through being someone that wasn't born with a silver spoon, and another thing is that I really love this girl.
Am really confused and don't know what to do.

Hmmmmmmmm!

moneymanager:
They said the bonanza will be over two weeks ago and that we should start cherry picking
Since then GTB has lost over 11%

Isn’t that a huge loss for those who entered
Surulere Suru....

Never a LOSS until you sell IMO.

Please note that the purpose of the transfer form is for the registrars to have your specimen signature. So If your signature is with the registrars already you don't need to process transfer form. The form is a means to an end.

Registrars can also have your signature specimen from the public offer form you completed while buying the shares. Some other time you may be asked by registrars during demat of your shares to provide a bankers confirmation of your signature all these are just to have your signature specimen.

Basically the registrars prefer the transfer form if the stocks were bought on the floor on the NSE.

By the way processing of transfer form is cheaper compare to bankers confirmation of signature.

Whoaa! I did not know any of these. Thanks a lot for explaining

emmasoft:
Ask your stockbroker to send you a share transfer form. Complete the form and send back to them. The form will be processed by cscs and sent to the registrar with a copy to your broker.

Normally after sending the transfer form to your broker, wait for about two weeks and then send your e-dividend mandate to the registrar. From the share transfer form the registrar will get your signature specimen.

Quick question..without the share transfer form where an investor's signature is verified from, dividends can't be processed?

Yungmil:
Pls guys I need to confirm if is true that uba bank gives 4% interest on savings account. pls anybody using it?

Biafran4life:
Na beg I dey beg, anybody way still dey reach OGG.Make una tell am make him no vex.Make him show face say results don dey land .I personally appreciate his break down on results as some of us no get power reach the level he they break the thing reach

Honestly, OGG na senior senior man for this space. The way he breaks down complex stuff that even learners can understand is amazing.

Hamachi:
I co-ask?

It's been marked down already. From 7.15 to 6.80 on Monday or so

OBAGADAFFI:
No, the bank is not efficient.

Access is acquiring more overhead costs by these acquisitions.

Does this higher overhead cost not translate to lower payouts to investors?

seyisanya:
Anything is possible. The only way to win in this market is to have a strategy.

Don't jump into the market all at once and don't exit completely. Invest regularly from your cash flow by buying in tranches. Only invest in fundamentally sound stocks. And don't forget that having cash on the side is also an investment strategy.

Do these things, and you will always win - bears or bulls!

You nailed it ja re.

yMcy56:
The thing is: Even if at all Zee hits 11, many of them will still not buy.
It took Oga RabbiDoracle lots of efforts to convince some of them to buy when Zee hits 10.70 last year March.
Fear no gree them.
Peter even had to shift goal post to N5, and even if it gets there, trust him, the goal post would go to N1. He would then buy N1 stock and collect N2.80, then N3 dividends within a space of less than 2yrs.....a year self.

That's the fact. I stopped looking at price and started focusing on the value of what I'm buying. People with that rock bottom expectation on a stock will never be satisfied even if the stock falls to their said price. Goal post will shift again. I picked up some Zee at 16.40 last year and still made lots of gain. So just get a strategy and follow through biko.

yMcy56:
ZENITH: Up with over N2 since yesterday........
Went down as low as 19.50 yesterday and bounced back immediately.........doing 21.95 as at now......
Some people will end up not buying anything in this Market because they'll keep on shifting goal posts backwards and Mr. Market will be taking them by surprise. Imagine someone still waiting for Zenith @11?

GTB: Up with +N1.90.......just today....

Surprisingly however, market is moving up today that I came....

It's called greed honestly. Zenith @ 11?! Except another plandemic hits

The only stock I hold in my portfolio disslappointed me. UBA shocked me ooh

akinssan:
You need to update your KYC.

Ok. Thanks

Good morning all.

Is anybody having problems logging into their meristem accounts? I have been unable to log in and it's giving me the response that my credentials do not exist.

Start with learning how to code. U can use Coursera, can also download d app on ur phone. It is a platform with courses, mostly free.

Register and search for "Python 3 Programming", it is a course serie.

Or, if u like reading then download d following books:
1. Think Python
How to Think Like a Computer Scientist
by Allen B. Downey

2. A Byte of Python by Swaroop C. H.

3. Automate the Boring Stuff with Python by Al Sweigart

Awesome stuff. Normally read with keen interest your analytics on this forum. Too bad the data available is not sufficient to really do a thorough analysis. Nice stuff my brother �

Mcy56:
We'll, maybe.
Nsempas' disgust for penny stocks is too much.
We didn't see them now because the stocks are doing well contrary to their expectations.
At the slightest cough, you'll see the "I told you so" coming out.
You also mentioned the latest one in your post, directed at myself and megawealth especially.
These things discourages.
We see how it goes anyway.
Thanks sir.

@Mcy56

You need not cease posting here. For every 1 or 2 people who criticize your postings (good or bad) there are a lot more like myself who GREATLY appreciate it. No one knows it all...even the great investor Warren Buffet missed the internet bubble 'cos he didn't know a lot about the tech business.

Thanks for all you and others do.
