Solid breakdown.


But I’ll add something important most people still miss.
Valuation without growth is a trap.
A stock can have
Low P/E
Low P/B
High dividend yield
…and still be a bad investment.
Why? Because the business itself may be weak.


Fundamental analysis is not just about ratios it’s about the quality and direction of the business behind those numbers.


Where I think people should go deeper is
1. Earnings Growth > Cheap Price
A low P/E only makes sense if earnings are stable or growing.
If profits are declining, that “cheap” stock is just cheap for a reason.

2. High Dividend Yield Can Be Misleading
In Nigeria especially, a very high yield can signal
Price has dropped badly
Or limited future growth
In fact, some studies show high dividend yield can even reflect weaker growth expectations.

3. Debt and Cash Flow Matter More Than People Think
Plenty of companies show profits on paper but struggle with real cash.
Also, in a high-interest environment like Nigeria, too much debt can destroy value fast.

4. Macro Matters (This is Nigeria, not the US)
You can’t ignore
Inflation
FX risk
Government policies
These can make a “cheap” stock stay cheap for years.

My simple rule. Instead of just,
P/E + P/B + Dividend
I look at
Earnings trend
Debt level
Cash flow
Industry outlook
Then valuation.

All states. Perks of the job I do. Though some Na travel Nd pass sha.

Of course, you are right, if I were the one I will go all in with like 25 m,there are other options outside of Treasury bill that I am well acquainted with, did one last last year for a 365 days round. The goal is actually compounding and not just one time gain, the approach is considering safest zone with 20m and running fast on 10 for scaling, the real lesson is leverage and staying safe and growing slowly until you have deep knowledge of achieving quantum leap

I understand your point and on paper, that strategy is solid.

Capital preservation with ₦20m, then using ₦10m to take calculated risks while compounding over time that’s textbook wealth-building.
But the issue is the environment you’re applying it in.

In a stable economy, that approach works perfectly. You can safely park funds, earn predictable returns, and deploy the rest into opportunities that scale.
In Nigeria today, the variables are less predictable

Inflation can quietly wipe out safe returns
Policy changes can affect even low-risk instruments.

The real sector (where the ₦10m goes) is highly unstable and cost-intensive
So while the idea of “stay safe + scale gradually” is correct, the execution risk in this environment is much higher than theory suggests.

Also, with ₦30m, this isn’t just a portfolio decision it’s a life positioning decision. That’s why some of us are leaning toward relocation or systems with more stability, even if returns are slower.
You’re thinking like an investor, which is valid.
But in this case, the bigger question is, is the environment worthy of that strategy right now?

ayoncox:
Bros it's better to be in Nigeria oh, you will just burn your money moving to UK, Use 20 million naira to buy Treasury bill and compound it, with 10 million naira start a business that is scalable, if you make the right moves you can do 50 m upwards in a year. If you need detailed explanation chat me up on 08089456258

Suggesting putting ₦20m into Treasury Bills might sound smart to the ear, but that advice really depends on the person’s goal.
Treasury Bills are safe, no doubt. But they are low-risk, low-return instruments. With ₦30m, locking away ₦20m there might preserve capital, but it won’t significantly grow wealth especially in an economy where inflation is constantly eating into value.
So the real question is what is he trying to achieve?

If the goal is capital preservation, then yes, Treasury Bills make sense.
But if the goal is growth, relocation, or improving life quality, then tying down two-thirds of your capital in a low-yield instrument may not be the best move.
At current realities, the returns from Treasury Bills may not even outpace inflation consistently, meaning you’re “safe” but still losing purchasing power in real terms.
With ₦30m, this is a life-changing decision. It shouldn’t just be about playing safe it should be about positioning for better income, stability, and long-term opportunity.


I feel treasury bill should be ruled out.

Present-day Nigeria is honestly not a very friendly environment for investment. It’s not about being unpatriotic it’s about facing reality.

Running a business here will drain you in ways people don’t always talk about. You’ll deal with unstable power supply, high cost of fuel, inconsistent government policies, and a tough economic climate.
For example, my family recently set up a business for my mum ahead of her retirement. We invested heavily, but within a few months, most of the profit was going into fueling generators. On top of that, many customers simply couldn’t afford the services anymore because their purchasing power had dropped significantly.

So it’s not just about starting a business it’s about whether your target market can still pay you consistently. That’s where many people begin to eat into their capital just to survive.

As for the UK, yes, things are not as easy as before cost of living is high and opportunities are tighter now. But when you compare structure, stability, and earning consistency, Nigeria still doesn’t come close.

At the end of the day, weigh your options carefully. But from an economic standpoint, investing in Nigeria right now even on a small scale comes with significant risk.

I thought it was democracy. People choosing not the president handpicking.

I've since many dead bodies, mutilated bodies etc... heard several stuffs most folks won't be able too. But I couldn't even listen or see this to the end. I pity the man sitting right there and listening to his tale out in the open.

I didn't catch the saliva part, I thought in the urine.

tiger28:

Obi has FURTHER Trapped himself in NDC.

Kwakwaso isnt going to deputize for this Weak Obi. …. As we have seen his actions yesterday.

Obi we know, who's your father or mention anyone from your lineage we can mention off.

Truth is even Tinubus sycophants knows there allegations are true and real.



But then, just like we read and hear about the corrupt ladoke Akintola and past politicians, some days generations coming will read about Wike. The truth will always be there. Anyone who have read max siollun books will understand what I'm saying.

It might be Schistosomiasis (sometimes called bilharzia).

Do you often stay close or enter water?



If you've done any of this lately, then I can bet schtosomiasis

Swimming or bathing in infected water

Washing clothes in contaminated rivers

Farming or fishing in such water.

The parasite enters through the skin, then lives in the blood vessels.


Common symptoms you should look out for,
Itchy skin or rash (early stage)
Fever and chills
Abdominal pain
Blood in urine or stool



Go to an hospital and run tests though.

You killed someones child, uncle, parent and loved one.

When I first watched that video, one question was on my mind: 'what gave that officer the confidence to shoot that boy in broad daylight'?

People insinuated that it was because he was trying to cover up something, and I thought to myself, if that is the case, he would take him somewhere else to shoot him and not do it at the park.

While I am not holding brief for that police for his jungle justice style of killing that man, that guy is not as innocent as portrayed. It has been established that he came to the park to waybill the gun to his friend and not pick it up. He stuffed the parcel with baby clothes to trick the driver, but was bursted.

Now it is being alleged that the gun belongs to a late MOPOL officer that was killed during endsars. Perhaps, that was what triggered the officer to take justice into his hands.

Regardless, I have never been in support of jungle justice, but I am also wondering how many people have been killed with that gun.

DCP placid confirmed the gun is a fabricated hence the idea of endsars mopol is ruled out. I believe he's just a power drunk cop who as been doing it for long and he grew wings more without no fear of constituted authority. That dude was handcuffed and obviously harmless, and is killing didn't do not good. With him alive, they could have gotten the other members of the syndicate. The cop is an outlaw and isn't fit to be called a cop.

Una don Dey use AI give am past?

As in...... Very disgusting folks

Anything but 6.

I can bet Tinubu was reading this from a script placed in front of him.

Even okpebholo dey talk.

What a pity an educated man as been reduced to this.

To be a Nigerian now is far from a clever prayer point.

Eteo:
Nobody tells the females that while they think they've gotten a prayer partner, what they ve actually gotten is a prayer point.

Nobody tells the females that marriage is a lifetime of unending adultery, heartbreak and loneliness..

Nobody tells the males that being a responsible husband is not just about providing food but providing companionship and leadership.

You've said nothing.

Abeg lemme go marry from Rivers, it's not in this economy one will marry a pig.

OgwuEgo:
I dislike this man so much, nothing inspiring about him.

As in, I wish I can express how I feel about him.

I wonder why this didn't make front page. It happened over the night.

Same thing happened in Ekiti State yesterday. A pity the media didn't report it.

MaxInDHouse:
The biblical meaning of MINISTRY totally differs from what most religionists called Christians does today.
Jesus' ministry began with few Jews and he instructed them one and all to go out and make more disciples which means followers who will also become preachers and teachers everywhere they are {Matthew 28:19-20; Act 1:8} but today what many call ministry is a business enterprise where someone gathers supposed worshipers to make money.
So i would have said Kumuyi's ministry is bigger but are Deeperlifers still doing the preaching zealously as they used to decades ago?
Jesus said by their fruits you will know them {Matthew 7:16-18} therefore since members of these religions are not active in the work Jesus who is the founder of Christianity assigned to his disciples i will say none of them have a REAL ministry.
Of course they have gathered worshipers for their own money making venture {Act 20:30} but for ministry it's a no.
Quantity differ from quality!

You spoke my mind, but the question is about kumuyi and Oyedepo not their members. Don't forget even when Paul the Apostle was preaching, a lady with a familiar spirit was around bearing testament to the fact he's a messenger of God.


Let's use their messages and the impact not folks who gather under them. I'm not a deeper life member, I'm an Apostolic Faith member but I respect kumuyis unyielding messages about holiness and righteousness which is the foundation of my church as well

Personally, I lean more toward Pastor WF kumuyi. I attend Apostolic Faith hence I can relate to the words of holiness and living right.


I was born in living Faith and did wofbi but I left the church later on as Oydepos mandate raised one deeper question for me.

Is prosperity really the measure of success in Christianity? Because truthfully, people can prosper without Christ. Check the Forbes list and even the bible spoke about good success after holiness. Hence, following Christ is ultimately about eternity and living right.
That’s why I respect the emphasis on holiness and righteousness it’s not always popular, but it speaks to the core of the faith.
It also makes me wonder if you remove the message of prosperity from Oyedepo which is invalid to me, what remains at the center of the ministry? And should that be what defines true success? What about Christians that might never be Rich, does that makes them an outcast?

In short, kumuyi preaches about something most Christians shy away from and he was about to minister and make folks live right via it, Oyedepo on the other hand is the father of prosperity gospel in Nigeria and most younger pastors seeing how lucrative this is are joining the bandwagon.

Are u related to this autoconsult abi u r his spiritual father

He's autoconsult. Every sane person seeing the threat will know that. Funny enough, he did more damage to the autoconsult moniker. Very shameless dude.

Buhari is a technocrat where Tinubu is.



No wonder he said we would miss him. Dude knew something we all didn't know about tinubu

I can bet and I know for a fact sowore is low-key working for Tinubu. With all hand writing on the wall, he's been bank rolled by them and working for them. No much difference between him and Reno, just that Reno is shameless about is.

Helinues, richtaiwo salewa97 muyico trutharena freestuffng won't be happy with this news.
