My apartment in Yaba that was 200k in 2016 is now going for 1m. Not sure which 150k apartment in 2007 would be 1m now. For me, until this year, all this naira FGN bond thing was worthless. Dollar rate was N600 in 2021 or so. Its currently 1500, almost 3x. Your bond would have to have given you almost 300% in that short time to even keep pace with inflation on the streets. I have been investing in dollar-denominated assets since 2018 and therefore have been getting returns far above inflation and exchange rate wahala. I started Eurobonds when dollar was about 360. If I put N3.6m, that’s just $10k. As at today, just purely based on exchange rate, without even looking at the yield, that 3.6m would be worth N14.4m At 11% yield per year from 2018 would put me at $23k in total assets today. In naira, that’s currently 33m. (10x returns just like that) all without doing any complicated math or combining bonds or getting a house for rental income. emmanuelewumi: Rent goes up as inflation increases. An apartment whose rent was about 150k in 2007 is now going for N1 million.
So if you don't want to do real estate, invest in stocks with good dividend growth such stocks will beat rent increase I remember when zenith paid dividend of 70k per share but paid dividend of about N4 last year.
Bonds have a higher yield, all my bonds have yields of 20% and above but the coupons won't increase for the next 20 years
There are risk averse investors who don't do equities and real estate, except for their primary residence and they are doing well.
Let us look at this scenario, assuming they had N100 when yield of FGN bond was 20%. They can deside to buy an apartment from LSDPC and get a rental income of N5 million for a start which can increase to N15million in the next 10 years.
Or buy FGN bond with the N100 million and earn N20 million coupon for the next 20 years. I love buying long dated bonds.
Buying a property will include keeping aside about 1% of the property's value or 20% of the rental income generated whichever is higher for the repairs or maintenance of the property.
What a smart bond investor should do, in order to do better than the real estate investor is to spend just 25% of the coupon and reinvest the remaining. That is when he got a coupon of N20 million, he should spend just N5 million and reinvest N15 million.
The reinvestment of the N15 million from the coupon will give him another coupon of N3 million, excluding the original N20 million making a total coupon of N23 million in year 2.
Then spend 25% of the N23 million which is N5.75 million and reinvest N17.25 million buying another bond
By doing this his coupon will increase faster than rent |

At any point in time, I can quickly withdraw my money and put into another higher yielding investment or stock or crypto while it’s still compounding at 13%. For me, I very much like flexibility with my money. Landed property will be for my own private use, or just to sell off later as a way to holding money (esp as the exchange rate is now stable), but never for have tenants or renters. No, thank you. |

Once upon a time, I lived in a developer place like this in Yaba (access for ten years etc). A lot of court cases ensued as the family wasn’t satisfied with the terms. He died soon after and so much confusion set in. We tenants ended up staying for free for two years as nobody could decide who would collect the rent 🤣🤣🤣. We had to go to court in Oyinbo and tell the judge that we would leave the place in another one year. I like the advice given here. I myself have been invested in a dollar denominated REIT that’s been giving 13% since 2020. Started when dollar was about N360. Now it’s 1500 but I don’t care because my return is still 13%. I don’t like all this property stuff because it seems like a lot of stress for the associated gains. It seems mostly beneficial for the next generation. Maintenance and court cases and omonile and late payments etc. just adds more stress. If you can, please use your N28m for something better. Even that naira Eurobond last year would have been better for you. Valthegreat: You need to understand the intricacies of lease development business to understand the answers to these questions. They usually need liquidity to develop the next property, so let's assume he spent #100m to develop this one deck of six flats (remember he didn't buy land) he is willing to sale some parts to raise block funds to develop his next property ( I learnt he cleared another plot 2days ago for redevelopment). Should he rent the whole property out he should raise only approximately #16m but if he sale these two at #28m and rent the remaining 4 flats at #11m he will likely raise more funds to develop his next project instead of borrowing from bank at around 37%.
I believe that's the mathematics behind their decision to accept long term lease instead of collecting just annual rents.
In other words his long term profit is still intact via the remaining 4flats as well as the opportunity to develop more properties. |

I don’t consider anybody here a guru. I’ve been doing investments long enough to know that you win some and lose some. And only a clown would declare themselves guru of a stochastic (no pun intended) enterprise. I am very fine with modest returns (as long as the exchange rate is stable) I come here for entertainment, random bits of information I’m too lazy to find out myself and because you guys can be really funny sometimes, even if you don’t know it (the whole kpakus thing dey always mud me 😄) . I don’t even know what JAPAUL and ROYALEX that people here are always screaming do as a business. They sound like roadside phone shops 🤣. I bought my three stocks before ever coming on this thread and I intended to stick with them for years to come. jonnysessy: The earlier you realize you are on you own in the investment world the better for you. All the people you guys refers to as guru and Ogas on this thread are not here to render any form of assistance to you. They are here to make money. Hence, they feel there should not be any free handouts. That is why you remain the CEO of your portfolio. I will advise you remain with strategy and some stocks that had worked for you in the past. Once in a while you may see few who will drop some previledge information on the thread. It took me quite a while before i understood this. There was a time i entrusted my portfolio in the hands of a brother because i thought he was better on investment issues. But, later i realized with more dedication i could do better. Hence, i took over my portfolio. The rest they say it is history. My point is nobody have your back in the investment world but you.

Lol. So what’s the point of the financial advice if it’s not financial advice and if you won’t tell the people you are leading when you have sold? 🤣🤣🤣 nosa2: If it gets to the price I think it is worth I will happily sell. If there is news that makes me feel that my original thesis is wrong, I will happily sell. IF I wake up and the wrong side of my bum itches me and I decide that is a signal to sell, guess what I will do?
My number one priority is me myself and I. So long as I can justify my decision to myself I am fine with it. If anybody follow me and they enter bush then they are on their own. This is not a team sport. I am here to make money from other market participants (YOU) |

PuristForest: Next year is shaping up to be extremely volatile in the markets… e go hard. I really hope the ASI can reclaim and break 157, but here are the facts:
Nigeria is already under significant macro pressure — currency strain, rising inflation, the looming capital-gains tax, and ongoing uncertainty across FX and bond markets. Then came the Oct 31 CPC designation, which only amplified the tension, triggering an 8% drop from 157 to around 140. …... DYOR Are we under currency strain with our $45bn in reserves? I wouldn’t call it a strain. Exchange rate has been stable since Dec 2024. Isn’t inflation cooling? What is still uncertain across FX and bond markets? |

You rrally believe ellah will somehow compete with Presco as a business entity? I find the conversations here about the company quite hilarious, and i don’t think they have been faithful in the little things…so j wonder how they’ll go from being nearly insolvent to managing a 250bn business in one fell swoop. I am curious sha, though i would never buy such a stock. Stockhunter: It is a huge one. But i am really hoping they do because if they do, there wont be any stopping ellah o with that kind of capital. And they be competing very well with presco and okomu. My only concern will be the outstanding shares. Well this may not matter so much if the results starts showing. They already have the publicity. Once i confirm they achieved the capital raise i will take partial long term position until the results become good then i scale up. |

If true, it's a bit silly. The account they have been sending the dividends to has been dormant for six years. It's not unknown, just forgotten and I don't even remember the account number(it's XX*******XX in the email alerts) Why not even check the account first before sending it? Why not send to an active account (i have four others) Why the account that has never been used? And why to a business account when my sotck account is not a corporate one? That is how lax we are as a country. Why is my corporate account collecting dividends for an individual brokerage account? The Product Manager suppose collect cane. I emailed First Registrars to ask about this and they ignored me since last week. I emailed them again today and even copied their MD and SEC, still no response. Very useless set of people. Yes, OI also get emails from Aradel directly now, for some reason Audacius: IT SEEMS they have done an integration of the various existing systems that hold investors' data and MAYBE we no longer need to fill e-dividend forms.
I bought some stocks for the first time recently and I started getting emails from the registrars. I also observe that the e-dmmms platform is longer active. It has been like that for some time. People have been mentioning they have been getting dividends they did not fill forms for. I have too. But I observed such go into my savings account while the ones I filled e-dividends forms for go into my current account as I requested when filling the forms.
I assume the system has a criteria on where to send dividends to if it sees multiple accounts, even if it goes into an account you would rather not use. But an unknown account, as in your case, complicates things further.
Automating dividend payment like this is a development that could be expected. But the problem I see is that one has to figure things out. There seem to be no communication on the matter at all or not properly done. I try to keep up with investment news but never seen where they indicated these "development". We just start noticing and figure it out. |

Investment › Re: Nigerian Stock Exchange Market Pick Alerts by deathwing(m): 2:40pm On Nov 28, 2025 |
