crownprince2017: As long as people are not ready to respect others' choice of stock, there will always be gbasgbos.
When person was recommending eti as the best new thing, the price keeps doing gbelogbebo till now, another hawked aradel, transpower but what happen? The same story. the same people will do plenty analysis why they felt a stock choice of another person is bad, some even criticized people saying buy with patients funds. None of the critics have ever come out to say sorry for misleading people even when it's obvious they were wrong.
I have seen ogg come here to drop recommendation and come to pass but bad belle will still come here and say there was no time frame that anybody could have done that. Since they chased him away, we are yet to see their recommendations with time frame.
Despite ogg showing plenty workings why he thinks there is a value in a particular stock, the bad belle no gree allow am stay here in peace. 
Ogg, na man you be.. 
Double standard everywhere. I always say that anyone who has experienced how some hitherto ''poorly rated'' stocks have turned around to deliver huge gains, sometimes more 2000%-4000% within few months would not condemn any stocks. Wema, Ikeja Hotels, Honeywell, IB, Nahco, Learn Africa, MBA, NEM etc are all examples. Part of the problem is because some of us want to arrogate to ourselves or create the impression that we have knowledge of everything and all possibilities about some stocks, which is false.. Who would have believed a few months ago that NEM Ins could be selling at N30+ today? |

Joyful365: How old are you? Why can't you make your points based on facts and common sense?
Was ₦6 billion loan received and approved within 48 hours of EGM? Is the ₦6 billion loan to be converted to shares at ₦3 per share? What is the current price of Ellah Lakes? Is there incentive for those who will get nearly 2 billion Ellah Lakes shares to sell at current price?
2 billion Ellah Lakes shares is currently worth 28 billion+
You gave loan of ₦6 billion and in less than 3 months the loan value has grown to ₦28 billion. Why won't they sell and why won't they even borrow more money to prop up the price?
NGX is corrupt and inefficient. Let them allow short selling of stocks and remove the cap on maximum percentage price movement of stocks daily. Ellah Lakes will drop to ₦5 today. You may be right and vindicated at the end if your opinion is based on solid facts, data and figures. However, people have different investment goals and strategies. The way Mr. A and Mr. B treat an investment of N6billion in Ellah could differ, depending on the information at their disposal, investment goals, timelines and horizon, cost of fund etc. Not all the big-time investors will trade their shares on NGX. Some company directors, promoters take positions in stocks and aim for control, future corporate acquisitions, mergers etc. where they make bigger fortunes. Information asymmetry is a key factor in investment why everybody cannot have the same view about a particular stocks |

lagostrendboy: “One Was a Gaudy Carnival, the Other an Exhibition of Class” – Patrick Doyle on Two High-Profile Nigerian Weddings
Veteran media personality Patrick Doyle has shared his candid thoughts on the contrast between two recently held high-profile Nigerian weddings that took place in the United States and Europe. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Taking to social media, Doyle described how the two ceremonies showcased very different sides of Nigerian society. Patrick Doyle’s Observations

The US govt is known to import oil from the major oil producers around the world so how could Iran 'snub" US oil for Nigeria"s oil ?

Trump also said Israel might be winning the war but they're losing the world .
What you don't know is that the more e vil Israel commits or try to control people's opinion through media like TikTok,X, Google censorship , the more people wake up and go against them .
No one is chosen or owns the World . They should wait until there is another fatal terrorist attack in a major city in Europe/US/Canada, and then you would see their reaction again. This Israel Hamas war had dragged on for two years, so there is natural concern for the war to come to an end soonest. When it is time for another election in the US, you would hear both Democrats and Republican rushing to identify themselves with the Jewish caucus/influence once more. |

Investment › Re: Nigerian Stock Exchange Market Pick Alerts by mikeapollo: 2:40pm On Sep 03, 2025 |
ProphetUtuocha: 1. Commercial Papers (CPs): Is the quoted interest prorated?
Yes , in virtually all markets (Nigeria inclusive), the quoted yield (e.g. 21.15%) is an annualized rate, not the exact return for that tenor.
To get the actual interest you earn for a shorter tenor (say 270 days), you have to prorate.
Exception: Some CPs are issued on a discount basis (i.e., sold below face value and redeemed at par). In that case, the quoted discount rate already embeds the time tenor. But if you see a "quoted yield" as in your example, it’s annualized and must be prorated.
Are CPs subject to withholding tax (WHT)?
Yes. Interest income on CPs attracts 10% withholding tax in Nigeria (deducted at source before payment).
This is the final tax (you don’t pay additional tax on that income again).
Other fees on CPs? Typically no additional fees charged to investors. The issuing company may pay arrangers, trustees, issuing houses, etc., but those fees are on the issuer’s side, not the subscriber’s.
As an investor, what you see (net of WHT) is what you get.
2. Money Market Funds (MMFs)
How are fees charged?
MMF managers charge a management fee (often 1% – 2% per annum) and sometimes a trustee/custodian fee (tiny, usually <0.3%).
These fees are charged on the fund’s total assets under management (AUM), not just on the interest earned.
The fees are deducted from the fund’s gross returns before you see your NAV/unit price increase.
So in your example: Invest ₦10 million.Suppose the gross return on investments = 10% (₦1m).
If management fee = 1.5% of AUM, that’s ₦150,000 deducted. Net distributable return to you = ₦850,000 (an effective yield of 8.5%).
What happens if the fund makes no return (or negative return)?
Yes, fees still apply. Managers deduct them from AUM regardless. However, in practice, most MMFs are invested in safe, short-term instruments (T-bills, CPs, repos, bank placements), so negative returns are rare. But your capital can erode slowly if returns are very low and fees still get deducted.
Remember: Commercial Papers: Quoted yield is annualized, prorate to tenor. Subject to 10% WHT. No investor-side fees.
Money Market Funds: Fees are on AUM, deducted before declaring returns. Even if returns are low, fees are still taken. ''Prophet'', we are waiting for more revelations ooo ....... about what you know already! |

Joyful365: Please house clarify these grey areas on commercial papers and money market funds if you have the experience.
For commercial papers, is the interest rate quoted prorated? For example, if 21.15% is quoted for 270 days tenure, is the 21.15% indicated for one year interest rate, meaning to prorate it to 270 days you do 21.15%/365 * 270 = 15.64%? Meaning it is 15.64% that will be paid for the commercial paper of 270 days tenure? Or the 21.15% will be paid for the 270 days CP tenure? Also, are CPs subject to witholding tax? What other fees are charged on CPs?
On money market funds, what are the fees charged and are they charged on the interest earned or charged on the total sum under management? For example, if you put ₦10 million in a money market fund and it earns 10% (1 million) in one year, will the fees be charged on the 1 million earned or the entire 11 million? If on the entire 11 million, what happens when the fund managers don't make any returns? Will they still continue to remove their management fees from your capital? CPs are discount instrument, hence for a 20% discount rate, you remove the discount value (e.g. N200) from the par or face value (e.g. N1,000) and pay the net amount (N800) to the company borrowing. At the end of the tenure, the company pays you the gross face value (N1,000) less WHT on the discount. If the tenure is less than 365 days (1 year), then you have to pro-rate accordingly. |
