So sad no one ever answered this question as I currently have the same question.

Anyways, I'll do my findings and God willing, will update here with what I get.

I have officially closed my account on Trove. Their rip off is too much. Imagine charging $2.5 for every order no matter how small, outside conversion rate of 368.8/$. Coupled with their app anomaly. I will end up working for them. I think I'd rather stick with Etoro, pending when I get a better alternative.

I finally registered with Chaka..even bought some stocks that have appreciated...like Tesla etc..you can even buy fractional shares of companies like AMAZON,APPLE,ALPHABE[GOOGLE] ETC

Can Nigerians buy US STOCKS from Nigeria?Possibly yes... I heard about Chaka and decided to check on them....registration was difficult....i could not input my password.. Then somebody mentioned Trove...but you have to register with your international passport....i also saw an advert of Bamboo Investment App...all these are fintechs that try to bring global stocks to Nigerian residents...From my research,THEY WORK WITH STOCK BROKERS IN THE US AND YOU CAN BUY ANY STOCK YOU WANT, NOT SELECTED STOCKS.

Again, my interest in US stocks is that the market is very developed and efficient... can you believe that there are stocks that pay MONTHLY DIVIDENDS? Even QUARTERLY DIVIDEND....those stocks are sure salaries....they pay up to 90%,80% of the profits because they are exempted from paying certain type of taxes,so they must pay the dividend...This is done mostly by companies in property management and REITs,utility[electricity companies],pipeline companies etc...

Is this not better than what we have here?
What are the demerits of investing in US stocks from Nigeria? Are there problems with that? What do you think?

Yes I am still with them lol, and even moved to the "Partner" plan now (how time flies....) They have moved on to Rechargehub.ng now, their services has greatly improved, though the late delivery issue is still there, but not as frequent as it used to be.
As for the best one to join, it's up to you to decide, I prefer rechargehub though because their customer care is very responsive unlike the others - I do have a backup account with mobilenig though which i use when rechargehub is experiencing late deliveries.
Tip: Avoid Vtuking.

Xavi2019:
Due to lack of info from others I decided to take a gamble on the site, and I'll say I'm less than impressed -
They are painfully slow, if you buy data from them it takes lots of minutes before it gets delivered. Also, there's no responsive customer care to air your frustrations to for help, rather what they have on there is a sort of automated number that answers you with preprogrammed words.
The only good side is their prices are relatively cheap compared to others... Only if they could fix the delay in their delivery, and also have a responsive customer care they would be one if the best out there.

You must provide your NIN before capturing in ikoyi, i paid 25k and is the new passport. You can do your NIN inside the passport office in ikoyi!

yungryce:
design and continuity, i guess.
but if you want the old one, you should have chosen alausa or festac for your capture

yungryce:
Thats correct. The charge is for the new epassport. The old one still costs 17k

yungryce:
yes. i paid directly online but for the new passport which cost 25k. an extra 1k was charged for bank transaction making it a total of 26k

My Ikoyi Passport experience

I made sure i had all the required documents and made payment online before embarking on my journey. I applied online on the 29th of November and my interview was fixed for 9th of December. Tried rescheduling the date online but the website was not cooperating so i was stuck with the date.
I got to ikoyi passport office around 10am. went straight to the court office within the compound and stamped my guarantors form. headed to servicom and was directed to a lady on the last cubicle (cant remember the unit). She went through my documents and gave me a new document to photocopy and fill. found my way out of the compound to do photocopy (this cost N50/page �). Came back with the filled form and a white file folder (as i was told here to buy) and she flung the file away. She brought out the "Federal Republic of Nigeria, Nigeria Immigration Service" file and put my documents in them �� and then she duly signed and directed me to another servicom desk where the lady also penned her signature where necessary and then sent me on my way to start verification.
Here, there are long cubicles with NIS officers behind the cubicle glasses. At the first attendant, there was just one NIS errand girl in front of me with a "white file" but before i could blink, there were upto 10 files that has been pushed to the NIS attendant from different errand officers through a hole on the glass. I also slid my file through the hole and got the shock of my life. The NIS officer dumped all the white files and attended to my file and gave it back to me.

I went through the stages without any issues until the last stage where the attendant requested i add the guarantor's valid i.d. I called my guarantor who sent me a picture of his drivers licence. I printed and attached to my file and returned the file which was duly endorsed.
At each stage, i was questioned on my how i know the guatantor, if you can confirm this if called, why we bear same names(coincidence durh �) and so on but i was ready for them.

I was directed to the capture room where i gave my file to another attendant and took a seat on the seat queue. I also got another shocker here as people without files i.e people who joined the queue while their errand officers did their verification for them were sent out of the capture room to wait outside..
It got to my turn, i did my capture and returned the file to the servicom desk.
In and out was not up to 3 hours.


Now waiting on my brand new official ePassport.

Worthy of note is that we were very few with the NIS file (i counted a total of 3) and we all got premium treatment.
We have all gotten used to doing things the wrong way that doing it the right way now seems foreign to us. I didn't pay an extra dime nor did anyone request. process was actually faster for the NIS file holders and above all, since i entered all my details myself online, my data would actually be correct
