Hello Great Investors and happy new month.

Those Banking with GTBANK and received interest this month from their savings Account.

Did you notice any drastic reduction in interest rate?

A savings account with an opening and closing Balance of 7,500,000 and got an interest of 7,250?

what is happening?

Savings account Interest rate is 1.15% that is 10% of MPR. I'm sure you will receive lesser next month as the rate was applied around 22nd September. Earlier in September it was 1.25%. So that 1.25% would have contributed to this amount you received.

Comments like yours are the reason why Nigeria is stagnant, I lost money and you called it "Selfish reason"? Are you dense or just a plain simpleton? it'll be best you hopelessly keep to yourself before I transfer my aggression to you. $1000 is a "Selfish reason"? Bloody nitwit.. People like you put buhari where he is today, never rising to challenge the status quo, always ready to accept garbage. Irking neanderthal!

My brother, I tire for some people. You wan make money or you want do charity?
Fintechs that charge an arm and a leg on transactions and yet crash when you want to make profit are not worth it. They charge for deposits, for making a share purchase, for selling the share too, even make some money from currency exchange in both directions. How will a retail investor make money will all these charges. You can't even day trade too. Abeg go where your costs can be minimal at least.

Anybody following Tesla battery day event happening live?

Lalasticlala, abeg can you pin this thread to the top of the frontpage, at least for today? It will help us to quickly access it as other posts are shifting the thread downwards.

You can start by using google and youtube. Continue to search for at least 6 month and you will arrive at an answer

Shebi this video is on YouTube. The research should be based on scripture not on what someone posted on Google or YouTube.

Openbusiness:
You guys are always quick to label things with derogatory terms without even doing any holistic research on whatever claims he put out there. Jesus said, "whoever eats of his flesh...", and the religious people around said he was crazy for saying such. Same way, Galileo was labeled an heretic by the Roman Catholics for postulating a theory that the Earth was not the center of the universe and that the Sun didn't revolve around the Earth. Galileo said it was the other way around and it was the earth moving around the Sun. They killed him for it. But what do you know, later turns out Galileo was right. Many other cases like that in human history. So why not conduct your research to disprove or verify his claims first? Where's your research? Where's your counter postulations? None! Only insults. Nawa oh

How does one start researching the claims in this video cos the maths is not in my bible. If this thing is by mathematics, then joining a masonic lodge is the way.

Can you name one or two that you consider the best to '' park our cash in '' I know of Stanbic assets managers, is there any other better?

There are plenty of them. United capital, Fbn quest, Investment one, Quantum Zenith asset management...
Just compare their fund performance.
Personally, I avoid equity funds and balance funds. Of course due diligence is advised.

When the currently most profitable bank in naija, ZIB, is giving maximum interest of 0.5% for deposits of 200m and above and 0.4% for anything below, i become suspicious of any MFB offering 14%. Are they a wonder bank? Better park your cash with a regulated asset management company o.

I think guys should use platforms that allow you trade cfd too. When the market tanked last week, I went short on tesla stock and that way recovered my losses and made some more on Tuesday. Since yesterday, I've been long and building my capital gradually. Quite risky stuff but worth it if you learn.

Insuranceman:
@otomatic, the guaranteed period for immediate annuity is 10 years. If the retiree is still alive after this period, the insurance company will continue to pay him/her monthly, quarterly or yearly as agreed.

OK.

Nonsense. How can a bank make that mistake and did not discover it for four good years and the Pastor too did not discover it also to draw their attention. Abeg attach statement of account, let's see how the money came in and how it left.

Insuranceman:
@Larry1960, if a retiree who is on Annuity dies during the guaranteed period, the balance of the fund will be paid to the named beneficiaries or next of kin.

Define the term "guaranteed period " please.

Jayjaycee18 I don’t see the Gpay option even on desktop. Could it be because I registered with a yahoo account?

I use a yahoo account too. I had the same challenge but they resolved it for me. I sent them a mail via cardverification@trading212 .com and they responded with a link that helps me use gpay and other options.
According to their response, they don't allow direct funding with credit/debit cards originating from Nigeria.
Using gpay helps them in verifying your identity.

OakPearl:
Because we have done all the talking and analysis and have matched our words with actions buying those stocks when we did for the future. To suddenly see increased number of shares even if at first the value is the same will make a sweet movie wouldn't It?

So na to sidon watch the future emerge like a movie na.

I see. These guys are putting smiles on your face. Enjoy, more loot on the way.

OakPearl:
This one na "sidon look" mode for some of us.

Why do you say so? Wetin you see?

AAPL is now $124.76 while TSLA is $442.96 after the split. Expecting some wild trading on Monday.

How fast can you solve this
easy riddle?

NGN 1000

Alright Mr CEO. Was the transaction reversed? Let's see the trail. How long did it take before the reversal? Or the branch did not call over transactions after the migration. How about the other 900+ customers whose balances were posted to a wrong account? They did not raise alarm?

Mr CEO you are under oath and risk of perjury.

nograv:
Till these day I cannot fathom why we even have a refinery in Kaduna.

All refineries should be on the coast where the oil is extracted.

Just to appease the Fulani, we built such a facility inland.. Mtcheww..

Honestly. When simple economics prescribes proximity to raw materials when citing industries, Nigeria will do the opposite then later say that our own economy defies all the economic laws. This is one case study.

LordAdam16:
...Are we to talk about discrimination? That's inherently human. That's why homo sapiens are the only hominids today. We helped nature take care of every last living hominid relative. And when they were gone, we turned on ourselves.

So if you look back far enough, there is absolutely nothing unique about the African American experience. That's why I consider using that experience as justification for falling behind in virtually every facet an excuse.

And the most indomitable proofs are Haiti, every black-dominated country in the Caribbean, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.

Haiti led a successful revolt and was established in 1804. Almost 160 years before we got Independence. That place is a worse sh*thole than Nigeria. No Jim Crow. No Voter Suppression. No white-on-black discrimination, police brutality, or lynching.

Starting in 1824, the American Colonization Society paid transportation for 6,000 free blacks in America to emigrate to Haiti. It was a resounding failure. Most of them returned back to the US. Yes, they willingly chose to return back to the whites in the US who discriminated against them than live with the free blacks in Haiti.

Over here in Liberia and Sierra Leone, I don't have to say much do I? Even with our problems, we had to mobilize soldiers to stop them from massacring each other. Would you also use Jim Crow, police brutality, and white-on-black discrimination as justifications? The African Americans in Liberia formed an elite called the Americo-Liberians and discriminated against the indigenous black people who made up 90+% of the population. Holding on to political and economic power to this day. Where else did that happen in Africa? Oh I know, South Africa.

When did Liberia get independence? 1847. One hundred years before us. Like Haiti, Liberia is a worse sh*thole than Nigeria.

So when folks chat about the Europeans or Americans like they're a special kind of monsters, I have a hard time reconciling that with history or accounts of what black Africans have actually done and are capable of...

Even the Jews were enslaved. Could not own property in medieval Europe, were subjected to all kinds of taxation, were segregated and forbidden from mixing with the general populace, suffered Holocaust yet still broke free.
From their story of not being allowed to own landed property, I learnt that real wealth is portable (skills and knowledge based). Thus they became skilled tradesmen, financiers etc, which helped them as they left Europe for the new world. They usually call themselves people of the book. So our American brothers will do well to take education seriously, drawing lessons from the Jewish phenomenon.

Funny chap. You wan use clap enter dance abi?

Is there any international form of mutual fund that one can invest in using foreign currency?

United Capital has a dollar-denominated mutual fund called Nigerian Eurobond fund. The bond invests in FGN eurobonds and other qualifying SEC registered eurobonds. Minimum subscription is $1,000 for 90 days. You may contact them directly for more details/due diligence.

Wetin concern us with million years. Geography as a subject can be boring sometimes.. We talking next month u talking 1 million years mtcheeew

This is not Geography but Geology/Geophysics.

Of course Lawmakers got 60% of NDDC emergency contracts BUT (in APCs voice) not this present assembly ,only those in the past PDP dominated assembly.

My only concern is why the committee Chairman was so desperate to stop the minister from talking further and even his fellow committee member from questioning the minister on his comments.

Nonsense and ingredients.

Your head dey correct. Dem wan cash out.

Benzboys:
But why you have to compare it with your area still baffles me when we all know location is key when real estate is concerned.
I'm sure rents for the same sized apartment in your area will be well above what the guy put up.
But then,I do understand where you are coming from even though it has sentiments written all over it.
Cool sha.

True, emotions took over. But still, considering the rent and the time to recover your initial capital, I'll say it's a good buy.
Only that buyer should consider vacancy rates in the area, crime rates, accessibility, etc in his due diligence.
