Miyachi:
Don't send money to anyone or invest in anybody's business. There's a high chance they are all trying to scam you.

If you want guaranteed returns and safety of capital, invest in FGN Dollar Bonds. The yield is 9.75%, with a minimum investment amount of $10,000. You should be able to invest with a minimum of $100 in the secondary market but the yield might not be as high, maybe 8-9%. You can also research FGN Eurobonds.

Another option is to invest in dollar mutual funds offered by some banks and brokerage houses. GTB has a dollar fund, United Capital has one and a couple of others (Try Cowrywise and assetbase.capital). These are more aggressive and you're capital is not guaranteed but I think they only invest a small part of their funds in money market instruments.

The last and DIY option is to invest in the US Stock Market. Register with a broker, and buy shares in companies yourself. You can do your due diligence or get stock tips from the US Stock Market tips thread here on NL. I can't remember the name of the thread but you can google it.

Wow... This is the first legit advice I'm getting on this thread. I appreciate man, I will search for the thread. Thank you

AllLovingGod:
Be wary of that poster, wittywriter in collaboration with his wife is a known scammer. A simple search of his moniker here in nairaland will tell you more. Otherwise na premium tears.

Thanks for the heads-up. Even though I'm not a newbie online. I've been into online marketing for 5 years now and no human born of a woman can scam me. Them never born that person.

frostguy:
I would prefer you I invest in stock market or the forex market. I have been In the trading industry for more than a decade and have developed fantastic strategy to milk the market every day. So with an investment of $1000 you are sure of a daily R.O.I of 10% that I guarantee you for more detail do contact me on my WhatsApp no: 0.9.0.5.9.1.3.7.4.8.8

Not interested. Thanks

wittywriter:
Going through your initial request followed by your last comment ill simply tell you that the seamless way to invest and earn in USDT is to create a service or product funnel online...with your $1K capital you can earn @least $100 weekly doing franchise reseller business also known as Franchisor for online brands like ebay, sprint, mc-donalds, Airbnb or online ticketing for concerts(music and movies)....i cant delve too much into it to avoid ban on NL...you can quote me with your digit in any of your dead thread for further engagement .


wittyness.

Thanks for your contribution. But like I said, I don't want to invest in a business. I work remotely already with clients. That's how the money was made in the first place. I want an investment that doesn't require any work from me but just returns.

And for all the scammers sending me emails to invest in one thing or the other, or even those asking me to chat them up, una don meet another maga for una mind Abi? Fvck! Nairaland is a lost course.

Drop your advice here or don't bother. Thanks

I've been getting emails from people asking me to invest in their business.

Please, this isn't the purpose of this thread. I have a small physical business already and I know the impact of the devaluation of the naira.

I want to invest this money in $$.

Plus how can I even invest my hard earned money on random people I meet on the internet?

Nigeria don good like that? Haa.

Good day people.

This forum has been very instrumental to my growth since I first discovered it in 2013.

Quick question here:

I have $1,000 I want to invest but I don't know how best to invest this money.

I'm thinking US stocks but I don't know if it would be the right investment with guaranteed returns.

I would need your ideas and contributions as I wouldn't want to make mistakes.

PS: Please don't suggest crypto. I've thrown in over $2,000 into acclaimed potential alt coins but what's left in that portfolio isn't up $400.

Today. Made sweet beans and plantain

The same Rivers and PH that I am in is in a state of war? APC is the most stupid and useless political party in the whole world.

So because of the political unrest that the average man on the street even cares less about, the president should declare state of emergency in the whole state?

This Okocha man deserves a hard knock on his head. Some of us is even on the media we read news going on.

Please kindly disregard. Nothing serious is happening as to warrant a state of emergency.

Tflex01:
Funny enough Yorubas like to first stay away from thread like this, but as usual the Igbos will always drag the Yorubas into it. The Igbos commenters on the front page including the OP left Achebe and started talking about Wole Soyinka and Brown roofs 😆

You are not being sincere here. Read through the comments and tell me who first began degrading Achebe - whom this thread is for, and comparing him to Soyinka.

LexngtonSteele:


SE prefer 3rd Class Obi to 1st Class Soludo.

That's why the region is such a mess.

Obi can't be Class Monitor even in Kebbi or Jigawa State.

Give us Soludo or Umahi and we might consider them in elections. Otherwise no show.

What fools like you fail to understand is that governance is not all about shinny white elephant projects. Governance is firstly about tackling the basics after a proper Needs Impact Assessment of what the people need the most.

This is why you criticize Obi who raised HDI of the people and praise Umahi who did the opposite. When Obi came to Anambra the state was riddled with poor education, poor healthcare and lack of basic amenities like roads, pipe water, etc. He worked with the Millennium Development Goals as at then, built tons of rural roads and bridges, and took Anambra from 28th position to 1st in Education. He also won an award for being the best governor to implement the Millennium Development Goals. The boy child barely received basic education in Anambra which he improved. Yet, you call him a failure.

For dunderheads like you, he would have been a great governor if he abandoned the basic things the people needed then to embark on white elephant projects which wouldn't have a direct positive impact on the people.

Sometimes I wonder if you guys are really educated. Even if you aren't, is common sense also this expensive?

The majority of the people he governed said he did well, yet you who isn't from there is trying to tell them who performed better. Many of these governors only built roads in their town and LGA. But Obi touched all areas both those who voted and didn't vote for him. He built all the major interconnecting roads still standing in my town to date. Make una get sense

Idun2024:
Hehehe

Can you compare Soludo’s performance within a short period to that Agulu scammer’s performance as a governor for 8 years.

Enemies of progress just want to force a failure on us because of their selfish agenda.

Soludo is trying but unfortunately he will never become the president of Nigeria but can rule Biafra

Objectivist04:
I was also shocked to hear this, it is clear that the guy is a stranger.

Ugwuanyi is by far better than Ayogu Eze, infact Ayogu is the worst politician to have come from Ezike.

During his time as a senator, this man never did any constituency project the most selfish politician I have seen in my life , for the following reasons.

A road construction ended in front of his house

He wanted to build a cottage hospital and the only place he could do that is along his street, couldn't even negotiate well with the owners of the land which resulted in tusle between him and the youths of the clan, instead of calming things down and maybe finding them small thing, he used police to lock them up. Unfortunately the hospital is abandoned till date and that is where Ayogus family conducts funeral,

He too a large expanse of land from his kindred where he built his house, which many of them were not happy but just couldn't do anything about it.

As a senator his compound was loaded with Keke and transformers which ought to be for constituency project, he never shared those items but intended to use them to campaign for governor. When the governorship bid failed, he now shared it to his supporters by then the Keke has started depreciating.

A politician that visits his village and will be driving around with siren and long convoy. Abeg who does that ?

His younger brother was like an emperor

Ayogu is the worst politician l have ever seen in my life and his life have thought a lot of people lesson that nothing is in this life, be humble and help people when you are in power.
A lot of people will be jubiliating over his death just to tell you how much he is hated

You know him very well. I was shocked when I read the earlier comment from that guy. Ayogu isn't a good man. You can imagine how bad someone would be for his own nephew who was my mate and friend back then in UNN to refuse associating himself with the man despite bearing same surname. He told me this exact story you wrote here. How he did nothing in his constituency and village. The road he constructed stopped at his house. In fact, all he told me corroborates with what you wrote here.

He is worse than Ugwuanyi. He got barely 10k votes in that election. May he RIP tho

Mr. Udoudom why?? Chai. My lecturer back then. I loved the man. I even visited his office when I went to campus some years back. He's a very good lecturer who can break down complex concepts. Very friendly too.

He also looked disciplined and religious back then. To the point that a prayer must be made before he commences any lecture. What changed, Mr. David? To the point of even going for a married lady. Or was he always like that? I feel so sad for him as I watch him cry in regret.

But it's life and we must face the consequences of our actions. I hope he doesn't take his life cos the shame is too much.

Svoboda:
Nice. You people have land o. I passed thru awgbu on the 3rd of jan when you held that masquerade festival.

Enu-Awgbu day 😁 it's always fun. Yes, Awgbu is actually one of the largest towns by size and population in the zone. Where you from?

ImmaculateJOE:
I said to some extent.

In Anambra State, you will get many minor cities and Major towns, but in Rivers, everything is happening in PH and enviros, no spread development.

Rivers state as a whole has a more solid infrastructure than Anambra. I visited a remote village and was shocked at the roads I saw, some leading to thick bushes. Anyway, I get your point and I agree Anambra is more urbanized. But we need to work on our infrastructure. We need wide roads with closed drainages. Not the crappy narrow roads with open drainages Soludo has continued to construct. Anambra can do better

ImmaculateJOE:
Anambra is more urbanized than Rivers.

I have been to both places.

You will find more empty lands in PH and her surroundings than you will get in Onitsha and enviros.
To some extent, even Awka has been build up than PH.

Anambra has a higher population density and more urbanized than Rivers state due to our small landmass, but to say Awka is more built up than PH sounds funny. It will take Awka decades to get to the current level of PH.

What's even the size and population of Awka compared to PH? PH is more populated than Onitsha but Onitsha is more congested. So I agree with your third paragraph. I'm from Anambra based in PH.

Svoboda:
I know awka south goes beyond the triangle i mentioned, but i daresay that umuawulu, awgbu and the succeeding towns along that stretch to ndiowu and ufuma still form part of the agric belt i previously talked about. Also, Nise and mbaukwu. Govt doesnt have to forcefully urbanize some of these sleepy towns to unecessarily create high population densities when we gain so much agriculturally from them.

I'm from Awgbu so I get your point.

Greetings my Nairaland people. This forum and section have been very instrumental to my progress and so I decided to bring this here to ask for your opinions.

On Sunday evening, my girlfriend said she was craving sharwama and pleaded I get it for her. I live in a busy area and there's this Sharwama stand directly opposite my house. So I stepped out to get it. I was shocked with the large crowd I saw there. I asked one of the workers there how much it costs and they said 2,500. Quite an increment from the last time at 1,800. So I handed him my card, made payments and he asked me to wait for 10 minutes.

Since I lived closeby, I decided to reach my house before returning back. I came back 10 minutes later only to he told my order was given to someone else who was in a haste. After venting my frustration and anger, I sat down to wait to avoid stories. As I sat there, I couldn't but notice the amount of people who trooped to the place.

As I received my order and was going home, the whole thoughts filled my head. Is the sharwama business really that profitable? In my whole area there's just this guy here and another down down the road.

I had some serious thoughts that night. I started thinking about setting up one early next year and making consultations. But I want to get an idea from anyone in the business here. My location is Port Harcourt.

With the current state of the economy, is Sharwama business a good investment? I would like to open a stand in a busy area and possibly start small by employing one worker. I work online and this is my first shot at starting a physical business.

Please, I would like to get your opinions on this, especially considering the current Nigerian business climate. Abi I should just continue to save up my funds for Japa? I'm still a young man.

Also, let me know of a budget to set up a stand and begin operations. I would appreciate your kind responses.

sacajawea:
So you too made money Abi?

When we say there's money, we mean the money that flows through the port and the money customs officials make from extortion and criminality. I was working with a Chinese logistics company

Hezzyluv:
There's money at Tincan. I had worked there and I know what i am talking about. But you see Nigerian Customs and immigration officials working there are fantastically corrupt sotey... fully laden cargoes will b discharged without remitting a kobo.

I can confirm this. So much money. I also worked in both Tincan and APMT. The day a genuine person takes over and decides to open the books there, hell will be let loose.

kokorokoman:
oga I'm from SS, and have a permanent engagement in rivers, omoku precisely, from on ground observation, wike is very popular here in South South, in fact wike is the most influential opposition from the south south.

His opinion holds true for we here in Port Harcourt after what Wike did in the elections. People felt insulted by the level of rigging and that translated to hate and resentment for the man Wike. Do you genuinely think Tinubu won in Rivers?

Income is not stable as a freelancer. Some months are dried, some other months average, and then good. I work as a freelancer on Upwork.

Like this month I've already made about 310k when converted to naira. I hope to make around 500k by month's end God willing. Some months I barely make 80-100k. Some 150-200k. On some bad months, I may get just one gig and make say 40-50k.

It takes serious hard work and perseverance to sustain yourself on the platform. I've been into it since 2020 and I'm top-rated on there.

Sergio101:
Bro I'm from Agulu.

I knew what happened. I know that elderly man that was burned in his shop
Rip to the dead

It's not any IPOB.

The miscreants must surely meet thier Waterloo.

May God heal our land

Amen.

Brown2012:
Awgbu town's king and people sold their lands to Fulani herdsmen. So let's not be surprised, this is the work of Fulani herdsmen now trying to pin it on ipob.

This has nothing to do with Fulani but an inter-community clash. And we didn't sell any land to Fulani people

SKYHIGHfx:
This is my village, what happened there is community crisis

Same here. Where are you from in Awgbu?

Sergio101:
The Killing was very bad.

But this is what happened

On Thursday......two criminals stole Keke from a man and were heading Amaokpala, on reaching Amaokpala, the Vigilante group gave them a run and informed the Vigilante of Awgbu community.

So this fleeing gunmen were ambushed at Awgbu and caught by the Awgbu local security.

Jungle justice were meted on them. The security forces bought fuel and burn them alive (two of them.......one from Bobo, one from Awka).

So on Friday's night thier fellow criminals came for retaliation.

First they went to the base of the Vigilante group to vent thier anger......but nobody was there.

So they rushed directly to Eke Awgbu market where the burning of their Colligue took place. They shot sparodically ......killing three people and set the black markets where the fuel for burning their colligue were gotten on fire.

Unfortunately.....one elderly man that couldn't run was in his own shop (the black market shops were built in linear form). So the burned the man together with his shop.

Making it 4 dead victims and others that were injured.

The criminals must surely be apprehended.

(Info's are showing that they are from Awka)

I'm from Awgbu and reading this online is sad. I called home and I think your own analysis is the closest to reality, not these unknown gunmen talk they are peddling around. God help my hometown.

PassingShot:
How far?

Your conscience knows the real winner of the elections. But the stolen mandate will be returned

Mylove55:
but you doubted us in 2015 and 2019 that buhari can not win Kano until your eye were clear,
You people vehemently said buhari will lose Kano in 2019 because of ganduje Dollar scandal,
If 2019 result will change, it will not be up to 10% reduction for apc, that is minus 200k vote from apc last result in almost the 19 northern states each.
For example, in bauchi, apc 950k, pdp 200k vote in 2019 result, if 200k is removed from 950k for apc, tinubu will still win bauchi,
Use the calculation for all northern states like that, you will see why tinubu will win all northern state except adamawa,
Just go and congratulate tinubu and don't waste your vote on labour party

Nobody ever doubted Buhari's influence in the North. Only a political neophyte would. You can see from the results of the 2011 elections. As for now, a lot of factors are in play.

Tinubu would get votes from the North because of the Muslim-Muslim ticket, but many northerners are disillusioned from Buhari's leadership. They feel he didn't do well for the North and tipped Atiku to replace him. Atiku will win Katsina among other Buhari's strong zones. Then there is Kwankwaso doing the spoiler. He will win APC in Kano with a small margin and do very well in Jigawa and other North-Western states.

Then Obi has changed the dynamics down South plus his support from Northern Christians. Let's watch how it all unfolds. Lastly, listen to your conscience and let it guide you. Vote LP, Vote Peter Obi.
