@op, we use money to make money, try buy some stuffs online and sell to ur friends and people around you, there are wholesale shops in Nigeria , u could buy wristwatches and sell at reasonable price.

Best Advice!

NairaQuest:
YOUR best bet will be treasury bills, not sure what the minimum is. You may try mutual fund but for some of them there is a lockup period of 90 or 180 days.
good luck

It all depends on u; there ar so many things you can go into but bare in mind that its better u start part time,dont liv ur job to start a biz as a first timer, its way too difficult though not totally impossible.
from wat u said so far, u need a quick roi, and u have 300k, someone suggested Tbills, thats gud but roi will b low.
Mayb u sud think of a business u ar comfortable with or partner with someone already in a business, though trust is an issue in Nigeria.

MrKnowitall:
[b] Optimism about the future of Africa's biggest economy hid a nadir in mid-February, when many Nigerian stocks were down double digits for 2015, and 10-year government bond yields spiked to more than 16 percent. Investors fretted over a potentially turbulent presidential election combined with low oil prices cutting into national income, a plummeting naira currency, and serious violence from Boko Haram religious extremists.

The calculus changed Tuesday when Nigeria—the world's seventh largest country by population and Africa's new economic powerhouse—succeeded in its first democratic transfer of power from one party to another.
Muhammadu Buhari, a former general, defeated incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan in largely peaceful voting. The successful election sent markets soaring: The Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF—which reflects locally traded shares like Nigerian Breweries, Guaranty Trust Bank, Nestle Nigeria and Dangote Cement—gained nearly 14 percent. Yields on 10-year bonds fell from nearly 15 percent to 13.8 percent April 1, according to FactSet data.

"The market has spoken," said Ashley Bendell, head of U.S. distribution for African Alliance, an investment bank with offices in 12 countries on the continent. "This was a momentous event for the country, and we can expect to see near term fund flows."

The question now is whether investors will keep adding to their positions.

"The optimism is definitely a result of the mitigation of near-term political risk," said Christine Phillpotts, a research analyst AllianceBernstein who focuses on African equities. "In the medium term, the market will pretty quickly focus back on the significant economic challenges the country still has."

Stocks have made back most of their losses this year, but they are still down from highs in March, 2008.

Tim Drinkall, who leads investing for Morgan Stanley Investment Management's Frontier Emerging Markets Portfolio, said he remains cautious on Nigeria despite what he said was a positive election.

"Regardless of the election result, the country faces tightening fiscal and monetary policy due to the collapse in oil prices and the lack of savings over the past decade," Drinkall noted in an email. "The elections are now past, but tough decisions on the economy remain ahead."

Oil is by far Nigeria's most important export and prices have fallen more than 50 percent in the past year.

His Morgan Stanley fund portfolio includes three major Nigerian stocks as of Feb. 28: Guaranty Trust (a major African financial services player), Nigerian Breweries (a dominant regional beer maker owned by Heineken) and Zenith Bank (another large financial sector business).

While Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa, the country's financial markets are tiny. The market capitalization of the Nigerian Stock Exchange is about $60.9 billion; by comparison, it's $28 trillion for the New York Stock Exchange.

Another major risk to Nigeria remains a religiously radical, bloody insurgency in the north of the country.

Terror attacks by Islamic extremist group Boko Haram have threatened the country's stability for years and Buhari—himself a Muslim from northern Nigeria—was elected in large part to deal with the issue. About 50 percent of Nigeria's nearly 178 million people are Muslim; some 40 percent are Christian.

A reminder of the dangers of terrorism on the continent occurred Thursday in Kenya, where gunmen from Islamist militant group al Shabaab stormed a university campus, killing dozens of students and staff, according to[/b]

We owe d stability in Nigeria, first to God and the to the incumbent President GEJ for accepting defeat. I respect him for that. Assuming it was Buhari who lost, i know by now Northern Nigeria will b boiling.

God help in dis country

MockinJay:
I left it with WAEC. What they did with it..I have no clue.

So sir, u were asked to submit original cos u had no attestation attached to your application, many don't have original waec result does that mean waec wont process your transcript? If u wanna get a transcript for nov/dec u nid attestation and affidavit, if dis has bn changed, den ihave nothing more to say,but wen i got mine january that was wat i did. and i have a copy of my waec transcript wt me right now

MockinJay:
I applied this month. I went with my transcript printout and they decline further processing. A church member of mine works there even at a higher rank. I'm supposed to scan the original and send to them today.


no biggie but the school just sent my student ID number and promised to get back to me as soon as my transcript arrives their office.

Ok sir
Did u attach an affidavit and an attestation from a court to ur application for transcript?

MockinJay:
For nov/Dec, he needs an original Certificate. The reason
id he should take #20k+ with him is that just transportation would cost more(though depends on his home location). Taking your car with you is a big No No! The traffic is horrible!

Boss i applied for mine January 2015, i only submitted photocopies of online printouts at yaba andmy transcript was sent.

modskiller:
Please how do you mean by the ""FIX""

Purpose of visit

Funto900:
the duration for selkirk is 2years (and its eligible for 3years postgraduate permit), its estimated at 22,000candollars. I can afford 23,000dollars or maximum 25,000dollars if I defer admission and earn more. Macewan uni is also 2years, and. Might be eligible for part funding. (Total is 36.000can dollars).

Go for Selkirk den, u can alwaz move to places wt gud job prospects during holidays, if u apply wit a diploma u might b putting ursef in a fix

Gevic:
The school which i want to apply for told me to send my original result and so it will become their property and the aren't gonna return it.

Original!? No bro, go to weac office at yaba, request your transcript to b sent to them. That's what they need, or better still ask your sch if they can confirm the result on waec website so u can send a scratch card to dem and your details

Funto900:
House pls I need help, I got pre-admission, serlkirk college and Macewan UNiversity, for selkirk its a post graduate degree while Macewan is a Diploma, I have 6years gap but I av been working since I graduated. My dilemma is Selkirk is in a remote area, I don't know if the location is ok(read it has forest and mountains) and jobs aren't much. I need response from people pls how is castlegar BC. Macewan uni on d other hand is in edmonton good location, but d diploma is more expensive and I don't know if its reasonable for a graduate with distinctions,6years work experience to pick up a diploma course(I also read that there are. A lot of jobs in edmonton and d health plan is favourable for immigrants). The ultimate goal is PR, pls advise me on which to pick, selkirk or Macewan. Am supposed to send in my application today, don't want to waste money. Thanks in advance

what's the duration of the pgd at selkirk and how much do u av available and how much is d fee there?

MockinJay:
Yeah. Go to Waec head office with #20k+(to be on the safer side)

You will be needing a letter of attestation either from a clergyman, Imam or from the Court.

Also, An affidavit. Both should cost you nothing less than #1k.

You will pay for the original result and send via courier. Depending on location and the choice of courier. FedEx is #9500 to USA and Canada.
Chase is #8250 or so to Canada.

It would take approximately three weeks for it to get there. Waec will have to verify the result and all. If it's Waec Nov/Dec, take with you your original Certificate!

U dont need original results for both transcript but for nov/dec u will need an attestation aside d affidavit, total cost sud b arund 15k
Then courier ranges from 9+k to 12k

Can u supply in Lagos? pls contact me lets talk
