Yours is too much. Wasn’t it you who posted your Easter goat, or Sallah goat, and many other unnecessary things?

Looking for attention is fine if it’s kept in check. This is my opinion, and I’m entitled to share it.

The last time I disposed my precious Transcorp Hotel which I bought at sub N3 to N4 at the peak of covid pandemic, na so I go do research, dey follow worldwide TA, wey all of them come agreed say Transcorp Hotel done outperformed, make we bail out, Na so I go surrender my gold at N55.00, hoping to re-enter at a discount.
Na him Transcorp come raise to N100. Yes ,I made profit at the expense of transferring wealth to the buyer at gross discount.
Investment philosophy defeated. Till date, I no fit take the risk of re-boarding TRANSCOHOT.
Thank God, I re-invested all in ikeja hotel and currently returning 174%.
TA is not bad, it benefit TRADERS more.

The Quiet Triumph: How a "Boring" Investment in Transcorp Hotels Turned N325,000 into Over N17 Million or 5,130% ROI.

In the fast-paced world of stock trading, where algorithms flash across screens and traders chase the next hot tip, there exists a quieter path to wealth—one paved with patience, discipline, and unyielding grit. This is the story of one such journey, inspired by the legends of value investing and the profound insights of behavioral psychology.

Back in 2021, amid the uncertainties of a post-pandemic world, I made a simple decision: I purchased 100,000 shares of Transcorp Hotels Plc (TRANSCOHOT) at total cost of N3.25 per share. That modest investment totaled just N325,000 (Inclusive of Transaction cost) a seed planted in fertile ground.

Transcorp Hotels, the hospitality arm of the Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc, owns iconic properties like the Transcorp Hilton Abuja, a five-star landmark in the heart of Nigeria's capital, known for its luxurious accommodations, world-class conferencing facilities, and serene gardens.

I wasn't chasing excitement. I describe myself as a "boring" investor—one who evolves steadily, from "smart" strategies to a bridge of consistent, long-term holding. My inspiration came from the timeless wisdom of Warren Buffett and the late Charlie Munger, whose partnership at Berkshire Hathaway demonstrated that extraordinary wealth often comes from ordinary, disciplined.

Their philosophy was enriched for me by the work of Caroline Miller on behavioral psychology. She showed how human endeavors—investing included—are won not by fleeting intelligence or complex formulas, but by authentic grit: the ability to persevere through noise, volatility, and doubt.

Studies and real-world evidence back this up. "Smart" investors, armed with algorithms and quick triggers, often switch strategies at the first sign of market turbulence, eroding gains through fees, taxes, and poor timing. Boring investors, however, stay the course. They ignore the daily chatter, the trolls, the bullies urging "sell now" or "buy this hot stock." They embody patience in a volatile world.

Fast forward to today, December 24 2025. That small seed has blossomed into a giant tree. With Transcorp Hotels shares trading around N170 per share—a remarkable rise fueled by strong post-pandemic recovery, operational excellence, and expanding hospitality assets—my holding is now valued at approximately N17 million.
This isn't luck. It's the compounded magic of time, discipline, and believing in a solid company's long-term potential. In Nigeria, where many workers' lifetime pensions might not reach such figures, this growth represents financial freedom earned quietly.

Wealth building is a marathon, not a sprint. In volatile markets like the NGX, where emotions run high, the secrets remain unchanged: patience and discipline.

To new investors reading this—perhaps in forums filled with noise—stay encouraged. Ignore the detractors. Plant your seeds wisely, water them with resolve, and watch them grow into forests.

This boring path? It's the one that often leads to the most beautiful destinations.

I like the motivation but it usually sounds to good to be true when one is always successful at picking the right stocks all the time

I'm sitting on cash not knowing what to buy in this market. I have been buying Transcorp at 48.
Anyone knows where I can put cash and earn some returns, but still flexible to take it out anytime if there is an opportunity in the market?

Bank stocks like GTCO and Zenith are quite liquid and offering some dividends at the moment. The only thing that can't be guaranteed is the value of your initial outlay (i.e. principal are you there?) when you want to use it for another opportunity.

Damn!
No be only whisper, you KNEW it already
I am suspecting you!

You suspect him of being a great asset to NSEMPA, right?
Some of us have confirmed this since the time FMN was delisted.
Please we only like good suspicion here. T for thanks 🙂

PuristForest:
ewnation encourages a hybrid approach where a portion of your portfolio is long term (investor) and a portion is mid term (trader) , reason is simple, while investors wait years for a payoff, traders take control of their financial destiny in real-time. The idea that only investors make money is a common myth—traders are the ones who capture the market's immediate opportunities and generate consistent cash flow.


An investor might wait a year for an 20–80% return. A skilled trader aims to hit those same percentages in months or less. By reinvesting those frequent gains, the math of compounding works exponentially faster for a trader than for a "buy and hold" spectator.

Investing is a retirement game; trading is for life right now.

This is a sensible way to think about the markets and long-term investing in general, especially as the future is unpredictable (sickness, political crises, recessions, not ‘enjoying life’ while waiting to ‘hammer’, death, etc) and anyone can fall prey to Sequence (of Returns) Risk. The main caveat is that trading isn’t risk free either.

Thank you for the insight.

all of which IMG is uniquely positioned to serve nationwide.

True that. There’s room for more growth/demand in the 3rd leg of your 3rd pillar.

Thank you for your detailed analysis.
This third pillar won’t make any significant difference because primary health centres (PHCs) are not designed to have hi-tech oxygen delivery systems; they could buy a few cylinders and that’s about it. It’s mainly teaching hospitals and big secondary health centres that may need such oxygen delivery systems. And not many new ones (of such hospitals) are coming on stream anytime soon.
Other pillars duly noted. Cheers.

I wanted to take profit. They sold all. And I have input the quantity I wanted to sell.

Pele. Those mistakes can happen especially if trading on a phone. The screen is smaller and navigation is restricted. I duplicated a transaction few days back just because of such, and all I wanted to do was to take some profit.

Medium term should be between 3 to 5 years

And he also said they'd pay dividends in a year or so. He probably uses a different calendar.

megawealth01:
Chuka is planning to enter the big league be that

No dulling from his end. Always finds different ways to package and repackage his goods.

In conclusion, Mr Chuka is talking smoothly and encouraging investors to ‘have patience’ for the ‘medium-term’

True that. At least you got some returns. At all, at all na im bad pass.

My post was not directed at you. It was directed at the president boasting or excitement about N1,200:$

I'll tell the President when next I see him. We need you in the City Men's Movement.

mikeapollo:
H

Was N1,200:$ what he promised Nigerians when he was campaigning to become president? Or was N1,200:$ what he inherited?. Glorification of failure and mediocrity

I no too gbadu this government but my post was meant to corroborate Awesome J's theory.
Once you realize that "All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed" (I.F. Stone), you wouldn't worry much about electoral campaign promises
