InvestmentRe: Mutual Funds by Donbrig: 1:23pm On Nov 30, 2025
Stanbic Money Market Fund has over 2 trillion naira under their control, so from time to time, they feel tempted by their system to gift their customers from that huge fund. 2 trillion naira nor be beans ohh, that's almost the entire fund of all other asset managers put together....

Money Na Water Asset Managers.

Chrisfaco:
Please i am new to MMF., can someone explain to me. I Invested 4,010,000 naira in Stanbic Money market fund on the 4th of Nov. I was getting an interest of about 1880 naira daily only for me to check the app now and realised that I was credit additional 49,000 as interest for the month. Is the 49,000 naira an error since I was getting interest daily already. I now have a total sum of 4,109,000 in my balance.

Honestly, na better thunder go fire some account officers, they are very very useless and part of our national crisis, they are frustrating retail investors from investing in treasury bills and other fixed income, they will play every trick in the book to delay or convince you to fixed your money in their useless deposit..

I am going to the village right now, to report some of them to my village people, some account officers will not see 2026, their own is getting too much....

@Peleson1, try to learn the simple act of appreciation... by always saying thank you to whoever answers your question, it takes grace and a kind-hearted person, for someone to show you how to make money when you aren't paying for it... @RayRay06677 took time to answer your questions and you seem unappreciative with your response.

No matter the economic situation in Nigeria, Nigeria still remains one of the best countries to make good money if you invest wisely..

Just start small and grow big little by little, or you could as well use your money to play Naijabet or Baba-Ijebu, all na investment...

peleson1:
150k a year ?

Then divide that by 12

Will be

InvestmentRe: Mutual Funds by Donbrig:
Selling a house to invest in any mutual fund or any other asset is a big mistake, properties are the real investments, no matter how low the rentage might be at the moment.. that's why it is called REAL-ESTATE, the only real asset you can control..

Every other asset like bonds, stocks, treasury bills or mutual funds are all in electronic format, meaning anything could happen or go wrong anytime and everything would be wiped out within minutes.. Like wars, professional hackers or bad goverment policies. Unlike properties where you can dictate what and what happens to your assets, no matter what happens.

Most wealthy people have huge portion of their wealth in properties, even if they aren't earning much from these properties, because properties are the only asset they can control themselves, other assets or investments are mainly influenced by goverments or global politics.

emmatony:
Please, I would like to seek some advice. I own a twin two-bedroom flat. After calculating the potential returns from selling the house and investing the money in a money market fund (MMF), I realized it would yield much better returns than the rent I currently receive. Do you think it’s advisable to sell the house and invest the money instead, so I can have peace of mind and avoid tenant issues?

Thank you very much Sir, God bless you for the info... We like the idea of increasing our tax base in Naija, we pray govt will use the funds judiciously, build critical infrastructures and fight corruption to a standstill.

Massive corruption in our govt institutions and extravagant govt spendings are the major factors that would discourage most Nigerians from paying their taxes.


digitalinvestor:
Going by the fake news being peddle by some bloggers, the new tax regime as it pertain PIT is as follows.

For personal income, the newly proposed tax rate is a progressive system, which means higher earners will pay more taxes while low income earners pay less or none as the case may be.

The rates are broken down below

- First N800,000: 0% tax rate, which means individuals earning below this threshold are exempted from paying personal income tax.
- Next N2.2 million: 15% tax rate
- Next N9 million: 18% tax rate
- Next N13 million: 21% tax rate
- Next N25 million: 23% tax rate
- Above N50 million: 25% tax rate.

The new tax system aims to reduce the tax burden on low-income earners and ensure fairness in wealth distribution.

For companies income tax, currently you start paying CIT as long as you have an annual turnover of N25million. However, the new tax bill has raised this to N50million to ensure that small businesses grow efficiently before they start paying tax.

As President Tinubu stated, there is no need to tax the seed anymore in Nigeria, the fruit which has reached maturity is the goal.

The overall goal of the new tax bill is to ensure that low income earners are appropriately protected while high income earners pay their dues accordingly thereby redistributing wealth proportionately to accelerate growth, reduce inequality and bring down inflation.

Also important to note that the era of multiple taxation will be coming to an end as tens of taxes which citizens pay across different levels of government have now been reduced drastically to a single unit thereby reducing the burden of unnecessary and excessive taxation.

The withholding tax on T-Bills remain. Gov't Bond remain tax exempt.
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Donbrig: 7:13pm On Aug 16, 2025
I greet you all.. It is no longer news that Tinubu's govt is working hard to broaden our tax network as from January 1st 2026 to all Nigerians, and ensure every Nigerian earning above 800k yearly pays personal income tax (PIT)

Are they also going to tax interest earned from treasury bills investments or dividends from bonds?

Someone with deep knowledge should please enlighten us all.
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Donbrig: 11:19am On Jul 05, 2025
Banks will always discourage you from investing in instuments that won't favour them much....

Banks makes their billions of profits from two major sources, DEAD CITIZENS AND NIGERIANS FINANCIAL IGNORANCE.

1) Dead citizens with huge funds in their bank accounts is a big boost for our banks in Nigeria, considering the high mortality rate in Nigeria at the moment.. Our banks makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the families of a deceased person to access his/her money in their bank. Considering the fact that most Nigerians are very secretive with their state of finance, even to their immediate families. About 60% of the funds in our banks (Old generational banks in particular) are owned by dead citizens, whose families can no longer access these funds. Government should do more and pass effective laws that allows banks to release funds of dead citizens without frustrating their families to abandon the funds in their banks.

2) Nigerians Financial Ignorance: This one is self explanatory, in fact, the more you are ignorant about financial investments, the more billions of profits our banks would declare every year, despite their terrible networks and services. Going to banks to make enquiries on how to invest your money wisely is not a smart move, always do your financial research and educate yourself properly, and go to your bank and confidently tell them how you want to invest your hard-earned money in their possession.

This week's treasury bill was massively oversubscribed by over a trillion naira, these are funds that could have been used in setting up medium businesses/industries and create employments for the youths. But the system isn't encouraging for job creation at the moment, insecurity, no electricity, multiple taxation from FG, States, Local govts and different arms of Agberos.

Nigeria's equity market seems to be the most baffling amongst other countries, Naija companies will be recording gains and you that invested your money with them will be recording losses, my country people, na how dem dey do the magic?

EFCC went to Dangote's head office, on a norm, Dangote's shares is supposed to drop a bit, even if it is just for a day or two, as it could have happened in other climes, but nothing of such happened in my country. Instead, some lawmakers were busy saying it is very wrong for EFCC to investigate a whole Dangote, and such action could affect our economy.
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Donbrig: 9:40pm On Jan 02, 2024
Those of you stockpiling dollars when you don't have any business with dollars are a big part of our national problems, you guys should allow naira to breathe and stop hoarding dollars you don't need for any foreign business... Allow those that truly need dollars for importation and other foreign transactions have dollars.

Wotowotoman:
They are targeting USD accounts and it is 50 naira per deposit that they will use to discourage people from keeping dollars? Something that still applies to NGN accounts?

Please just stop posting about what you don’t know. You wey don jakpa go siddon for your small room wey you dey cack after hustling from morning to night and then dey write crap about Naija to put fear in people minds. Guy just shut the hell up!!!
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Donbrig: 9:23pm On Jan 02, 2024
They have been deducting N50 naira from every transaction made before now, so these new policies are very different from the normal charges on naira account, even my bank told me about CBN charges on domiciliary accounts. Lets wait and see what happens in few weeks/months time from now..... I rest my case

Believe it or not, CBN is only targeting those with huge dollars in their accounts, CBN governor has emphasised on it in most of his recent speeches, they just want to start it little by little, but you will understand their main aim as we progress in 2024, no need to argue about it..

Many bank customers received similar mail from their various banks. Honestly speaking, the govt wants to target mainly those with Domiciliary accounts, or any account with any foreign currency, mainly dollar. This is to discourage millions of Nigerians with huge dollar deposits in their bank accounts and don't even need the foreign currencies for any business or importation of any goods into the country.

I knew the govt would come for us all with domiciliary accounts, the die is cast.

Many nations are trying to crack down over dependence on dollar in their local economy, and virtually all African country had been a victim of over dollarised economy, Nigeria in Particular.

Happy New Year to all, everywhere is just calm and quiet, I believe the gurus are still strategising on how to invest their funds wisely in 2024.

2023 was indeed a challenging year for our economy and Naira, we hope things gets better in 2024.

I hope inflation is tamed, and CBN comes up with people friendly policies that would improve living standard.

Most importantly, I hope God gives our govt some guts to disregard every biased economic advise from IMF, World Bank and other international financial institutions, they don't sincerely have our best interest at heart.

InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Donbrig:
The uncomfortable truth here is because most Nigerians are thieves, if you have a big company and employ 100% Nigerians, you should prepare for bankruptcy in few years or months time. Because the main aim of 95 to 98% of Nigerian workers would be to steal from you and falsify all necessary documents.

Nigerians are some of the most fraudulent and criminally minded humans on earth, no matter how much you gonna be paying them as salaries, their criminal instinct will always tell them they could rise and become the boss, intead of taking orders from their fellow mate.

Nigerians don't like taking orders or play by the rules. This is one of the main reasons we have so many many fraudulent churches all over the country, assistant pastor or a regular church member would get tired of taking orders from senior pastor, his/her aim would be to open his own church, and the circle continues.

Either we believe it or not, we are not just normal humans, this is why we are the most disliked nationals on earth, not just our leaders, but our society is too hostile and unhealthy for rearing animals, much more raising human beings.

I rest my case.

Hamachi:
I noticed a consistent behavioural pattern among Nigerian billionaires who run big businesses.

This behaviour is pronounced more among Mike Adenuga of Glo Brand and Aliko Dangote.

The behaviour is this: these business owners hardly hire Nigerians as business executives to run their businesses.

They prefer to travel as far as Pakistan, India, or Lebanon to hire their nationals to come to Nigeria to run their business.

Dangote's top executives are mainly from India and then Lebanese, while Mike prefers hiring Pakistan nationals to run Glo for him with his daughter Bella.

Dangote started hiring Indians business executives when he was a trader and since he transitioned into an industrialist, he has not looked back as he has doubled down in hiring them.

Hiring these guys comes at a steep price.

Most Dangote Group executives are Lebanese or Indian, and their annual salaries are up to 300 million naira per annum when converted to our local currency.

Aside from the high cost that they charge as salaries, you provide a duplex accommodation in Ikoyi or Banana Island with an SUV for them.

You also provide Hilux vehicle with policemen protecting them against kidnappers since they are endangered specie because of their white complexion.

Devakumar V. G. Edwin is one of Dangote's trusted lieutenants, as Aliko does not joke with him.

He has been with him since 1992, when he joined the business as a general manager.

At that time, Dangote was still a mega importer and a trader.

Edwin helped to transition the Dangote group into the industrial behomth that it is today from a trading company.

He is the one supervising the refinary project in Lekki for Dangote as Dangote trusted him so much, having supervised the building of the cement plants for the group all over Africa.

When you convert what Devakumar V. G. Edwin earns into Naira because he is paid in dollars by the Dangote group, the man earns more than 350 million naira salary per year.

Just like the rest of Dangote's top executives, he is an Indian national, and it is the same story across the whole gamut of Dangote's executives. .

The CEO Of Dangote sugar, RAVINDRA SINGH is an Indian national.

The same with the CEO of Dangote Cement.

Now I want to understand:

Why, despite the high cost of hiring them, are these Forbes billionaires more comfortable hiring Pakistanis, Indians, or Lebanese than Nigerians to manage their businesses in Nigeria?

Are they more ruthlessly efficient than their Nigerian business executives?

Is there any reason why this is so?
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Donbrig: 4:56pm On Sep 14, 2023
No Sir, I didn't really mean to scold anyone, I was just stating the facts. Even if treasury bill interest rate is at 1%, there are many folks here who will still invest..

However, asking questions about treasury bills here and with expectations of getting the right answers isn't "Entitlement Mentality" but the opposite, because people with entitlement mentality don't ask questions that would equip them to help themselves.

RayRay06677:
You might be right, greater percentage here stop doing TB about 3yrs or more ago.

When we don't have express answer, must we lie or ASSUME with wrong answers to make us happy. Better left unanswered than passing wrong information. My thoughts though.

In general, folks here are doing just great, a deviation from an average Nigerian or nairalanders. They attempt all questions and that ain't bad.

You would have answered without scolding members as nobody is paid to answer questions. I only beg for answers when I ask, not my inalienable right to get answers.

Now the real problem with nigerians is the ENTITLEMENT mentality.

Very discouraging that nobody even bothered to answer someone who asked a question about treasury bills in a treasury bill thread, it is unfortunate to see questions on other topics that doesn't even belong to this thread are swiftly answered with long epistle...

Same situation that is killing our country Nigeria, leaving the main issues and tackling irrelevant issues that doesn't impact the lives of Nigerians. That's exactly why we are where we are as a nation.
