At various times, many people may feel frustrated by the performance of their investments. For example, they expect growth, and they don’t get it — or they think the value of their investment won’t fluctuate much, but it does. However, some of this frustration might be alleviated if investors were more familiar with the nature of their investment vehicles. Specifically, it’s important to keep in mind the difference between long-term and short-term investments.

What defines long-term and short-term investments? Long-term investments is that real estate investment that you intend to hold for more than one year — in fact, you generally intend to hold them for several years. On the other hand, you usually hold short-term investments for one year or less.

Short-term investments can include a number of possible investments. Marketable investments are just one of the possible choices investors might make for short-term investments.
Short-term investments vary widely between different businesses. Big real estate investors have billions of naira in short-term investments that are managed by professional investment firms.

Small investors may only have a few millions of naira available for short-term investments, and the investments may well just be handled by the business owner or committed to a mutual fund.
For a real estate investment to be deemed as a short-term investment, it must have two specific qualities. The investment must have a degree of marketability that allows it to be turned into cash quickly. The company holding the portfolio must have the intent to turn the investment into cash within one operating cycle, or one year, depending upon which period of time is longer. Such short-term investments are classified as current assets. An active market should be available to guarantee liquidity for these investments. Short-term includes investments that possess a maturity less than 270 days. Because the market for these investments is so active, they are considered to be nearly as liquid as cash...

Today, ebony Nigerian movie goddess, Beverly Naya is on our celebrity spotlight. The British-born Nigerian actress has risen fast in the Nollywood and is gradually stamping her name on the list of favourite actresses. She won the Most Promising Talent category at the 2010 Best of Nollywood Awards and the award for Fast Rising Actress at the 2011 City People Entertainment Awards, as she pleases viewers with both her sterling performance on screen and her petite, dark figure.

It is undeniable that Beverly Naya has a unique sex appeal that glues admirers to her always, but she wasn’t always that confidence about herself. The 27 year old graduate of psychology and sociology at Brunel University once revealed to Vanguard newspaper that she was bullied for most of her formative years.

Her childhood experience inspired her to start a campaign titled #FiftyShadesofBlack to inspire young black girls to love their skin tone and to teach them about self-love and acceptance.

She has also been equally sensational outside her professional career. In 2012, she had to deny a lingering report in the media that she was dating Uti Nwachukwu, saying her boyfriend was not happy about it.


Beverly Naya’s gist got hot again when fast-rising Nigerian musician, Skales declared he had a crush on her. Naya was quick to say she doesn’t have any plan of allowing Skales’ wishes but that Koko master, Dbanj is the man in her dreams and she wouldn’t mind sampling his ‘KOKO’
Beverly Naya lists her best 5 Nollywood movies of all times:
• One Dollar.
• Figurine.
• Finding Mercy.
• When Love Happens
• Before 30.
