lionshare:Bris you fall my hand because you sounded like someone I do see in investment thread. We are talking of CT paid to the state and you are talking of share holdings of Anambra state. Is IB not paying cooperate tax of 300milion.Though the company has not declared dividend for some times now.when they declare won't the state still collect additional cash flow.Do you know the present value of those share based on appreciation.Dont you know the state being the host state must have gotten serious discount in the deal. Do you know the level of direct and indirect employment the company must have created. Do you know the level of social responsibility to the state |

We have too many people arguing blindly and with emotions...let us take emotions away from this and argue with facts, I will try to do so below: In 2012, Peter Obi invested the sum of N1,955,535,247.00 (equivalent of approximately US$12,616,356.43 at the then average CBN exchange rate of N155.00/$1.00) to purchase 407,321,264 ordinary shares of the company now known as Sabmiller brewery, which means that then the price per share was around #4.8. fast forward to today, price per share is #57.60 on NGx which means that if Anambra state were to sell their total shares today, they'll realize over #23b, which means their shares have appreciated in naira value by over #21b. Now let's look at the USD value, in 2012, the USD value of the shares was $12m, when you convert the current naira value of the shares i.e #23b to USD, you get $15m, so it's also appreciated in USD value despite the fact that rates have taken a catastrophic nosedive since 2012. All in all, it seems like a decent investment, I'm not sure why there's so much angst about it, or Maybe my math is not mathing? ![]() https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/06/dollar-value-of-peter-obis-investment-for-anambra-now-us3-7million-or-us5-3-million-depending-on-exchange-rate/

jmoore:It is a pity when people who don't understand basic English turn themselves into writers of rejoinders . Soludo never said the Brewery is 'Worth Northing' he said he said 'Peter Obi's investment in the Brewery is worth nearly nothing' . If you understand basic English you will know that there is a difference between those two statements. The Brewery that Obi invested in has been taking over by another Brewery, the value of his original investment in that company is in all probability less than the original amount he invested. This has been stated at various times on this forum. Yes Soludo exaggerated when he said 'Northing' but only the ignorant will assume that he is talking of the company instead of the actual investment. |

lionshare:You mind educating us on how many shares Anambra has then and now? How much was a unit of stock then and how much is it now? Has there been capital gains, have there been dividends? |

Lamasta:If Governor Soludo fails in Anambra with all that brain power, it means that nobody can ever succeed in governing that state. Soludo represents intellectual governance, if he cannot succeed in anambra, it goes to show us the calibre of people in Anambra state, that they are bad people. |

I used to have a very high respect for soludo before he became anambra governor I never knew he can stoop so low to play dirty petty nigerian politics I thought he was a different nigerian politician with superior ideas. |

lionshare:Obi invested just #2b in the brewery and has been paying over #300m of taxes annually to the anambra govt since obi left office over 10yrs ago now do the maths urself to know if the brewery is actually profitable or not. |

gidigbam1:Your figures are totally off, which makes your statement full of lies... and that is putting it mildly. What was exchange rate pre-2015 that $30m was equal to N48bn? |

franugo:First let me commend you as being the first person to try and make a decent economic argument as to why Soludo might be wrong in what he said. This is highly commendable in the Nairaland we find ourselves where people who shout the loudest and throw insults assume that doing this makes them right. While your calculations and the idea behind them seem correct, you missed something that any economist or even businessman would have noticed, the value of money then compared to the value of money now. Simply put, $1 as at 2012 is equivalent to $1.4 now. So if you really wanted to look at what is the equivalent of investing $12,616,356.43 as at 2012, you would have to convert that amount to the dollar value now which is 1.4* 12,616,356.43 = $17.6m. So simply put, any dollar investment that you made 13 years ago, that is valued less than $17.6m has fallen below the inflation threshold and is a loss. If you repeated this using the naira value that he invested it will still amount to the same thing. Also we have not even considered the opportunity cost of what would have happened if he had invested that money in the least risky portfolio and the returns it would have yielded. To be fair, this is the way a business man would think, there are other things an Economist would consider though, but one thing for sure is there is little doubt that the shares are worth less now than they were in 2012 using any sensible financial metrics. EDIT: I noticed your Sabmiller price was outdated from your screenshot so I also went to check the current value of International Breweries, which is what Sabmiller has morphed into( according to the article you quoted). In short, the share price is currently N13.85, which if you do the math with the previous quantity is valued at N5.6bn which is $3.6m now..... that is truly a terrible investment in every country and language.
