nedu666:If you are a governor and you use the state resources to invest in a venture that returns less than 5% as interest, you should be flogged thoroughly. Do you know what N3 billion annually would have done for Anambra states? The number of schools, business it could have funded? Yet all we have to show for it is more green bottles. Tufiakwa |

naijapips02:There is nothing like simple economics here, if there is, then you do not understand the simple economics. Now the Peter Obi's investment receives dividend of about 300 million Naira for the government of Anambra state annually while still employing not less than 500 indigenes. The amount that was invested in the company has appreciated in value as the value of the shares are no longer thesame. If the government of Anambra state is no longer interested in the business they can sell their entire shares in the company and make profit in folds. Mind you, it would not take the government more 7 days to have the said shares taken over by interested buyers. Again, the government invested about 2billion Naira at the time, now receiving dividend of of about 300 million a year, it would take the government less than 10 years to recover it's total invested sum. Either ways, it is a very good investment to me. Compare this strategic investment with Wike's 39 billion Naira investment in conference Centre or Tinubu's multi trillion Naira investment in the coastal road. |

ariefadenco:I was hoping you wouldn't bring this up. If the state government wants to sell that investment, they wouldn't get up to the $13m initial investment. This is why soludo said the value is next to nothing. Do you know how many employment N3 billion can create? Not just factory brewery jobs |

naijapips04:I don't think the 500 direct jobs, and thousands of indirect jobs SABmiller has created would agree with you 10% interest of 13 million Dollars may bring over a million Dollars a year, but it won't create any job for anyone. The aim of attracting SABmiller to Anambra was not just about making money, job creation was the bigger motive. Also, if SABmiller is generating millions in tax to the state government, you can imagine what Anambra state governments 15% stake is generating for Anambra government in profit every year |

naijapips02:To answer your question, the N3 billion Naira is creating 500 jobs which is a good one and still generate 300 million in dividend which is 10 percent ROI. There cannot be a better investment than this. Tell me one company in Nigeria with an investment of 3 billion with ROI of 300 million and still creates not less than 500 jobs. Dangote refinery is not as profitable as this Peter Obi's investment. At this rate, Dangote's refinery with over 20 billion dollar in investment should employ not less than 500 thousand persons directly. You know what, it's not employing half of that number. Bias won't allow you to see it factually. It's a simple arithmetic, if 13 million dollars investment can employ 500 persons how many persons would a 20 Billion dollars company employ?

ariefadenco:If I fix that 13 million dollars @ 10% , the 1.3 million dollars (3 billion Naira) I will be getting every year can build multiple schools and support multiple small businesses. That is how government works. The only reason Obi invested in a brewery is because he has personal interests in the same brewery. He was using state funds to grow revenues so his shared an appreciate. Obi is into importation of winery and alcoholic beverages. |

I will rather employ 500 teachers than 500 brewery factory workers. I will rather empower 500 entrepreneurs than 500 brewery factory workers |

naijapips02:You speak very ignorantly my brother. Tell me the bank in Nigeria that would give you 10 percent interest. There is no such bank. Just mention one! |
| Re: Sabmiller Is A Worthless Investment by naijapips02: 8:28pm On Jul 19, 2025 |
ariefadenco:You are very ignorant my brother. I know so many banks and fund managers that do well above 10% per annum. I'm even taking the easy way out for Obi. Any idiot can fix funds |

rinzaugustine:Laugh in you bro, Ogun state alone have like 3 brewery with total employment of more than 1000 direct employment .... only one factory which is the smallest in site at Ijebu Ode will push the same Sabmiller away in revenue |

naijapips04:i have worked in brewery before. There is a lot of skills and empowerment in any basic brew firm. You have engineering, health name it. You guys are just playing polictics with everything and is not good. |
