Speaking here of insurance stock does anybody have any information on STDINSURE and why the price has been at 4.69 since late January? I've checked everywhere I know but can't find any info on the company.
I do hope they are on TS for something good O? My cousin has asked my opinion on his broker loading him up on a stock that seems to be in limbo.

Gbo gbo eniyan , tiri gbosa !!!
Being away ages (then some more catching up on all 500 or so pages, una well done)

I just wanted to throw this in the court seeing the mad dash for Oando shares,,,,,,,,,,do you people think that Wale and Boyo will seriously let people trade Oando Energy or the group on the NSE?
Me thinks that the Oando that is being traded is Oando marketing i.e. downstream,,,,,where the margins are not so good i know,,,,,,,i am asking O!!!! not telling,,,,people should check that carefully,,,,i know say Wale and Boyo both dey do like thief,,,,i wont be surprised if it was even Ocean and Oils name they used to bid for the shell oilblocks!!!!!

Thats a GOOD boy ! Come and take Ice cream.

Hey Flex,
I aint tryna put you on the spot but ? You know what I'm trying to say right. Give us brothers a break. You are scarcely going to give any red blooded guy the option of having what you guys had and he'ld say no. He probably has just found another person (probaby not too different from you) who is ready to accomodate the fact that he has a long term AND he also has you but she dont mind. You are the one rocking the boat by trying to change the rules midgame.

I would like to add-

A lot of people are neglecting the fact that she knew this guy was 'hooked' and she was still stealing another girls game (aka True PLAYER) so she is far from innocent. I am sure one person in the world will be saying 'she deserves all the pain she is getting and more'

Secondly, sometimes the guy is the real victim (trust me I know. I have been there. I personally find it hard to say no to a beautiful woman, who knows I have a 'long term', but says she thinks the world of me, gives me her attention (movies, dates etc) then goes home with me, gets undressed in front of me, gets into my best t-shirt and boxers, gets into bed with me, cuddles up to me, has sex with me regularly (and gives good conversation afterwards). I really find it hard to say NO! but maybe thats just me - but I do try though ). Guys always like to think that they have got the game wrapped up but we often fail to notice that we are the prey and these girls gat game like a mofo ! What was she getting in this relationship that made it OK then but now she is not getting anymore? Money, 'trips', comfort, 'a mugun', 'a driver'. Definitely not LOVE- that would require EXCLUSIVITY !!!!! wouldnt it?

Thirdly, Girls girls girls, get it into your pretty, 'so beautiful I stop traffic' heads, a guy is not going to respect you if you know he is cheating with you and you still hang around (My best quote is - If they will do it with you, they will do it to you). You can only ever be either his 'f**k' buddy (buddy being very relative here) or you are his 'ho'. No one wants to marry his buddy (eww) or a ho !!!!

The bottom line is that someone that is doing something bad in the first place should not start shouting when things get hot. Up your game GURL or get out of the KITCHEN,  PLAYER !!!

Thats all I have to say.

Ha Frankiriri,

I tired !

I was making plans based on the fact that I was actively relocating to Naija and so would have been able to play an active role in how my Money will be invested (You know say small money dey dey big for poor man eye?) but them no let me O! I got a new job and decided the opportunity was too good to miss.

So combined with resettling here (yes O, physically moving all my load back from Naija, sorting out car in Naij and flat too) and settling into the job, I am afraid to say nairaland has only enjoyed the occasional glance when I am leaving work for home, tut tut.

I wont be able to take an engine room role in the project anymore (at least for now) but I will be glad to see the idea to a brilliant conclusion if anybody takes up the gauntlet.!!!

Regards to all the avid investing GURU's.

Just having a go here !!!!!

First of all they all stand in a circle facing the back of the person in front of them.

Next they take a look at the number on the hat of the guy in front.

Next they turn right around and everybody places their hat on the person in front of them now. Thereby now wearing the hat they had earlier seen the number of and saving their lifes?

I agree o! But I guess listing it on the exchange was the first mistake!!!!! .

I am quite heavily invested in it so I dont have your options of waiting to get in under N5 (because I do believe it is a good IDEA and will eventually float to the top).

What I will do is buy more shares actually. At a much cheaper price that is - maybe the same volume I have now but at N5 or below thereby increasing my exposure for the short term but HOPING for better indices in the future. Come on ! It can only get better cant it? Transcorps property portfolio (from NITEL) alone if spun off (like I hear they are doing now) can provide the neccessary WC to take it to high places!!!!

Lets see.

Is it me ? Or did Transcorp price actually flicker to life?

Finally !!! Something exciting to investigate.

What are the analysts saying about transcorp? They seem to be getting a move on in the right direction?
I wonder if people will now start offloading all those IPO units on the market?

We watch and wait!

I am a marketing professional and chartered marketer. So i guess thats my source but you can use the website below for more information.

www.cim.co.uk

Are you a professional yourself?

@Windywendy

Congrats and best regards to WINDYWENDYlittle !!!!!!  She has got a secured future at least when it comes to investments et al. 

I guess that puts her heads and shoulders above many of us here, who only started investing in their very LATE 40's !!! 

@House

I guess the excitement of Nairaland thread - 'Stock market tips for Nigerians' and Indeed Nairaland for the most part (for me at least) is directly proportional to the novelty and therefore excitement of the NSE: And seeing that the bears have taken FULL control of the market for now, discerning investors are looking to diversify their investments into other investment tools.

Please when you guys find some tools that can return 'even' 100% per annum please please let us know, for example Apple Inc. has appreciated more than 50% so far this year !!!!!!

, Or better still point me in the direction of other interesting threads on Nairaland
, those that can send my blood gushing at more than 100mph and keep me glued like old to Nairaland.

Basically integrated marcomms means making all your marketing communications ALONG THE VALUE CHAIN speak the same language.

For clarity let us take an example -  A telecomms company.


Value chain                           - Transmission, operations, Admin, Marketing and sales
Corresponding marcomms    - Constant signals, prompt problems fixing, payment processing, adverts on TV, sales promotion.

In this example if the message your adverts give out is Nigerias best network, your marcomms at the transmission part of the value chain must be that people always find signal anywhere they are in Nigeria, your marcomms at the operations part of the value chain is how efficient your operations are i.e problem fixing, customer service, etc. your marcomms at the Admin and sales portions of the value chain also must be sending similar messages.
This way you are talking to your customers all through the value chain and you are speaking a coherent and common language, passing consistent information to customers.

I hope this helps?

@uchetobi

WORD !!!

@dollyp1cute and Ferugio + everybody else interested.

I am a little wary of putting up my details here since some people have decided to use it as their primary constituent for yahoo yahoo.

However, Mr. Bigboylary has been kind enough to post his telephone number on the 'Stock market tips, ' thread. He might like to act as a contact.

Otherwise there will be a contact number at the reception desk at the event for those who get lost. Just ask for the contact number for members of Nairaland.

@everybody interested in this idea. (Not neccessarily the club, but the IDEA of a large fund from many ppl to trade the market)

I think below is a good idea. We can meet and network and ask questions about setting up this fund and trading.

I will definitely be there but anybody who is local should please find a pub or somewhere central we can all meet to chat. Then we may agree a specific time.
Cheers.

@MT
Dont mind them abeg!!!

I was in Nigeria for 8mths last year just doing exactly that kind of research.
Fo me I think what I will need is N5 million.
1 million for a good car.
1 million for rent for 2 years.
1 million to invest in a fish pond.
2 million for my corporate business.

Everybody is different. Some people just need N2 million, some dont even need anything (since they have all this things I mentioned already.)

List the things you will be needing in naij and come here for ppl to put figures to the list for you.
Thats how to know how much you will be needing.

@house

Is there a certification exam for PMP status or you just need to have 39hours training from a certified PMP to become qualified yourself?

Please could someone elaborate further? I seem to be getting things mixed up

   FROM THE DESK OF AZU ABUDU
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANQUE COMMERCIAL DU BURKINA-FASO
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.


Dear Friend
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
of banque commercial du burkina(B.C.B) here in Ouagadougou,Burkina Faso.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$12.5m dollars  in an
account belonging to one of our foreign customer.Who died alongside with
his entire family on Monday, 31 July, 2000 in a plane crash in paris.Please
visit this site that is one of the evidence the directors brought in other
to swallow the money at the end of the day,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm"
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and my colleagues decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after five years, the money will be transfered into the
bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
we agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account ,10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for
me and my colleagues.
Thereafter, we will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this
fund to your desiggnited bank account ,you must apply first to the bank
as a relation or next of kin of the deceased with a text of application
that we will send to you,so we will like you to send to us your private
telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, we will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application . we will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact us immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Mr AZU ABUDU
Bill and exchange manager,
BANQUE COMMERCIAL DU BURKINA(B.C.B)

I am certain the person got the address from here.

So, I'm just saying people should be careful who dey do business with.

Do your due diligence and satisfy yourself in everyway before doing business with anybody.

If anybody else has gotten similar emails here please post let us know.

I think I will be postponing my visit to Nigeria for a while till i can be better reassured.

Thank you people.

@bebe4u
I am PRINCE2 certified already.
Please could you say which bank that is?
I am currently working in the UK in Marketing Consulting and would be relocating to Naij soon.
my email is - dunhayes@yahoo.com, i would appreciate any details.
Thanks.

@Doyenn

Since when did you have more say over credibility than FITCH and STANDARD and POOR

Nigeria's economy is growing just fine thank you.

The NSE returned about 400% in the first quarter of this year alone. US indexes returned less than 10%.

Go figure.

I would appreciate any links on finding work in Project management in Naij or the UK.
I heard GTB might be recruiting project managers?

@Olonzo
Great Ife?

You people are not perceptive at all.
Did you notice where he is posting from, ZAMFARA !!

@Poster
Abeg my guy, try help the lady in question find her way out of the state because even if you knew the drugs to buy I doubt that you will be able to find them in Zamfara and even if you did they will probably raise suspicion.

Try and find an excuse for her to visit outside the state.
(edited - didnt realise poster was male)

@tola

You will find my advise on such issues on numerous threads on Nairaland.

If you love your Husband tell him about Nick. Simple. A problem shared is a problem half solved. Only, share it with the right person, you two can then look for a solution together. And also let Nick know about your husband, infact introduce the two of them (over the phone i guess). The better man will stand out Heads and Shoulders above the rest.

I believe that is your best bet.

verbum sapienti satis est

@bigboylary
I dey very sorry jare. Na dis book book wey we dey come suffer for here. I go bell you today or tomorrow.

@blackbeaut and other people in UK

We need to meet or network to get ourselves organised (my email is dunhayes@yahoo.com).
I will be going to naij by the end of this month so are many other people who are interested. So we can either agree to meet before we all go to Nigeria (Important if we hope to take a position in the Firstbank PO), meet in Nigeria (To gather information, get the business side sorted out (ie. link Frankiriri) and report back to people in the UK who cant be there physically) then meet back in the UK to decide which equities we will be investing in (Obviously Firstbank would not fit into this last option).
This is just my view though. I will be glad to hear suggestions from you folks.

@epicurean
(nice ID by the way)

Advertising is firmly routed in the Marketing communication aspect of Marketing or Business management.
You advertise to COMMUNICATE with your audience and in that regards I would say the MTN advert has done perfectly well. It caught your attention and you promoted it on Nairaland and now I also know about it, even though I have never seen it! Brilliant.

That is all advertising is really. Making an impression and generating awareness. Now that is marketing. Once this awareness is generated the next task is that of Sales. Turning prospects to leads and leads to customers that is the task of the sales professional. Every organisation has their way of doing this (MTN's purse / Sales promotion).

There are other more accountable marketing communications techniques if you want to see exactly how much 'drive' your marcomms is giving to your sales figures.

But the general theory is that the more Share of voice a company desires the larger the share of wallet it has to fork out. This means - companies with the greater percentage of adspend enjoy more awareness from customers. In direct proportion.

So advertising is NOT about sales but about AWARENESS.

@Frankiriri

Good job!
OK I think you are in the right direction then.

How important is taking a position in First bank to your plans? Will you be able to conclude your arrangments before the PO is over?

See you soon.
