Please invest in your financial education even if you continue to take a contrarian approach to investing. That you got this right doesn't mean you'll always get it right. Not knowing sh!t about the stock market will not take any serious investor very far in the stock market. By the way, continue to enjoy your loot. More wins!

Funny, isn't it, that I have made far more losses commiting my money to "financially educated" folks to manage than I have lost by randomly picking stocks and waiting a year, doing nothing.

In no field of human endeavour have I seen folks wear dark suits, sit behind big desks and all they do is "guess and get paid big money."

Professional financial advisor finishing off his expert financial advice with "this is not a financial advice." Bunch of jokers. Playing kàlòkàlò with people's sweat.

If I, as an engineer, let my doubts and lack of trust in my abilities become that obvious to my clients, I would be picking tissues on the street for food in no time.

PS: There is another fraudulent clause they usually slip into footnotes:

Past performance are not indicative of future returns.

Excuse me, what's the essence of devoting your life's energy to a cause if you can't tell how an event would turn out based on past outcomes bordering around similar events?

RabbiDoracle:


Hold till Guinness hits N300 (and NBrew should hits N250).

From 17, you should be having a gain of 1,664%.

However this is small compared to 4,000% that some names will print. Go find it.

I don't listen to professionsals. In fact, because of your advice, I'm selling the Guinness tomorrow.

I don't know jackshit about the stock market.
I did exactly what professionals advise us not to do - I blindly picked Guinness @17.

Now, I feel like writing and selling a stocks literacy ebook.

Electing Buhari was a mistake we all must learn from.

Humility, integrity, frugal lifestyle are all great qualities but they don't make a good leader.

They may make you live in peace with your neighbours but not at work.

There is even a school of thought that believes that great leaders are pugnacious, proud and inconsiderate. All they care about is result - they don't reward efforts but do results.

Buhari's character traits, in themselves, aren't bad. They just don't count in determining what makes a good leader.

The higher you fly, the less hate you harbour in your heart.

You begin to see humans as "tools" for production and growth, not much as colors, faiths and ethnicities.

Hi folks.

I bought some stocks via Chaka platform. I've only continually bought more of same stocks over the last one year.

Are stocks bought through such platforms entitled to dividends and bonuses?

If yes, how do I go about registering for ẹ-mandate form in order to receive dividends?

One of such stocks is Guinness.

Happy and sad.

Happy you were in at the right time.
Sad you didn't put all of yours in.

What must you do now? Nothing. Just do nothing.

If your money could move the market, you wouldn't be on Nairaland... like me.

Okay. Give it a month, Nigerian celebrities will start Full-time baby challenge.

The other day, that chap on the expressway said he's gonna build a church the size of Ibadan. To what f**kn' end?

Yes, he's daft, but mhen, his followers too?
Including professors fah. They came to that vigil to "seek" God's face for their unemployed graduate children, yet, right in their face, their papa said he will take up one of civilisation's most important means of production - land - so they can more easily and endlessly seek God's face.

Guess what my people... They all shouted in joy.

How many Flour mills can we possibly fit in an Ibadan-sized city?

The black man has long been marked for destruction.

-Edit-
Time heals wounds just as well as it does help us think things through and form better and more informed opinions.

Time has helped me see I shouldn't have used terms like "the chap on the expressway" and "daft" for Mr. Adeboye.

Were my Oldman alive today, he'd be just about the same age as Mr. Adeboye.

Besides, I am a Nigerian Yoruba, I'll be damned if I did so little as not prostrating to greet a man of that age, irrespective of what I think of him or his method.

Nonetheless, I hold valid the substance of my opinion of him. He is not any "powerful" man. He simply has given a lot of time and effort learning his trade. Hence the success.

If a yahoo boy devotes as much time and effort to learning the nitty-gritty of yahooing, success will come.

Who is Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn to want to compete with us in the business of citizens exploitation?

We've put in years of hardwork and diligence. Now competition is here. They want to share in the harvest. No way. We die here.

In "Jeopardy" because him plane go crash as he dey come back?

We have a Major General as president.
Oshiomole and Osinbajo will fight for the role of Minor General

Anytime Vardy hits this kinnd of form, Leicester wins the league.

What is anytime?

How many times has that occured to qualify as anytime.

He hit form in 2015/16. They won the league. That's it! How is that anytime?

No wonder Dragnet dey use una dey buy Benz.

Hmm

Pastors tell you to touch your stomach on behalf of someone who wants to get pregnant (Why not ask men to touch their scrotums? Classic sexism, but that's not the point now).

Well, the point is they believe in like-for-like comparisons.

So you pray for one goat expecting to magically reach out to the other goats.

Sense will not kill me.

Nigerians will never die until they die.
Their houses will never get burgled until they get burgled.
They will never have accident until they have accident.

Insurance products have not been redesigned to appeal to the Nigerian sense of trust in "the insurance of Jesus' blood"

Nigerians don't make plans towards eventualities like accidents, let alone death.

The blood of Jesus is their insurance.

It thus behoves on Nigerian Insurance companies to put forward the idea of insurance as an investment alternative and not as a cushion in the event of eventualities.

But you could easily get the answer to your question from JAMB brochure. Or have they stopped issuing that?

Even if not a requirement, learning and passing Further Advanced Mathematics at O'Level gives you a good footing en route your study of Engineering.

You'd need a lot more hard work and study time in your first and second year if you took no O'Level Advanced Mathematics class.

Are these folks not mind readers?

I was just wondering why I can't cast from my mobile Chrome browser to my TV, but can with the desktop Chrome and boom - this news.

What next is going to happen?

I think of doing adult deeds with my wife and boom - condom advert on my smart watch?

I get quite uncomfortable when an essay starts thus:

"It's a long read with lots of grammatical errors, please bear with me."

You know so well it contains lots of grammatical errors but do not so much as to correct those before publishing?

I go read am, all the same.

***************************************

Modified.

It wasn't a bad read after all. Grammar is just fine.

I guess the caveat was made out of fear of criticism.

Congrats on your escape from misfortune disguised as opportunity.

Is that not the ghost of Kofi Annan?

Aso Rock is hunted.

Are these dollar notes still intact in my pocket?
I heard Buhari is touch and disappear.

A CV is intended to be a full record of your career history and a resume is a brief, targeted list of skills and achievements. The former typically longer than the latter.

While the knowledge of the difference between the two documents is good, I do not believe the lack of the knowledge is in anyway inimical to one's chances of securing a job anywhere in the world.

Who cares what you call it? I just need a document that tells me your name and how to contact you.

El-Zakzaky wasn't sick, neither was his wife. His plea to go to India was only so he could cross to Iran or Bahrain, perhaps.

Unfortunately, India in deliberate connivance with the Nigerian FG gave him too much of a close marking.

You think the west don't like Islam? Try India.

I hate to be a spoiler but boy shouldn't be doing this.

Washing even once car on the patch in front of one's home is illegal in sane climes.

He's a boy en route success. Same zeal applied to a different endeavour (education especially at his age) might just cut it for him. Take him off the road.

No one ever gets "everything" figured out.

Did I see "Osun State University (OAU" up there?

Must you blog?

"Fake news."

Donald Trump should patent that phrase.

God, you try o.
Playing try-try game with the lives of same people you allegedly created.

You try gan.

Exactly what the terrorists want done - Pit, hitherto, brother against brother.

There is no more call for violence in the Quran than it is in the Scriptures. Both books categorically demand of their faithfuls to be violent. And don't give the excuse of self-defence.

But somehow, humanity has prevailed over the most believers of both faith to, in their own wisdom, wage peace irrespective.

bakila:

The CCT and Buhari did not follow the law here. The law applies to the Presidency first as prosecution before the citizen.

Okay

candlewax:
so the government feels that someone in the CJN's category shouldn't have such amount in his account? The whole money is less than N50m.couldnt he have legitimately made N50m all the years in service? It's understandable he erred to not have declared. Banning him for 10years and taking his money is a witch-hunt

You're not getting it still?

It's not the amount of money in the said accounts, it's the shadiness surrounding the non-declarations as at the time of taking office.

The law is the law. It is an ass (donkey), so silly, yet so useful. We would rather not have it another way.
