A lot of Nigerians are rushing to buy Keke, Korope, Okada, and danfo buses, thinking transportation is the least stressful way to grow their money. But nobody is telling you the full story. Before you sign that contract or hand over that your life savings, sit down and listen.

Transport business is one of the most stressful investments you can make in this country. I've tried it once and regretted making that decision. Even when I tried to be compassionate my two Keke riders showed me shege.

You are dealing with drivers who collect your money and give you story every evening. Repairs will scatter your profit before you even see it. Tyres, engine, brake pads, accidents. That list never ends. And the risk of theft? Your driver can disappear with your vehicle tomorrow and you will be chasing shadows.

Even when everything goes well, most transport contracts expire after two years and you start from scratch again. Is that how to build wealth?

The better alternative I'll advise anyone who has spare money and they don't want to risk out high risk investment like crypto and forex, is Mutual Funds.

If you have N3 million, split it equally between a #Money_Market_Fund and an #Equity_Fund. Money Market Funds currently offer around 20% annual returns, while Equity Funds average about 50%. Combined, you are looking at roughly N900,000 returns every year, which is about N75,000 landing in your pocket every single month. No driver to chase. No mechanic to pay. No stress.

And unlike transport that your contract expires after 2 years, your mutual fund investment does not expire. It works for you for life. Your money is growing while you sleep.

You don't even need to stress to start, most banks offer the services through their asset management companies. Banks like Gtbank, firstbank, Stanbic, even Palmpay (in collaboration with ARMS Investment) offer mutual funds investment programs.

Don't delay, make that swift decision today and let your money start working for you.

Great insight... For those who don't know already, it's an eye opener. You should consider the advice given if (as the topic states) you don't want Transport business to send you back to your village

Nice one from you ,op.

As someone who has once upon a time ventured into transportation business,I can only but agree with the Op entirely.

Transportation business wey almost send me to my village before I clocked 30 years . Na only God know wetin I pass through during those years.

Now,I can boast of my peace of mind.

Nlfpmod obembet Dominique mynd44 Seun. Please let's help push this thread to the front page so that others can learn from the Op's insight as well.

Mutual funds all the way then

E no get where risk no dey, what happens when the bank liquidates. Lose your investment?

Put your money where your mouth is.


Don't dabble into business you know nothing about because it's popular and people are doing it.


Know yourself first before jumping into any business.

your strategy is to lure people to ponsi scheme

Did you even read the content?

Op has said everything but I am just going to add 1 or 2.

1. Money market fund is not a get rich quick scheme, so I advise to invest funds that you won't be needing for atleast 1yr

2. Equity/stock is risky (a bit like forex and crypto). There's a tendency to loose your money unless you're ready to leave it there for about 5yrs or more.

So the 900k profit/interest in a yr stated by OP is not a guarantee. My advise is to do MMF only as a way to guard your money against inflation not as a profit making venture.

Conclusion: MMF is a great way to save while earning good interest much better than a regular savings account.

You're 100% correct, but equity funds is not as volatile as forex and crypto and in the past one year, all major players in the equity funds management in Nigeria, have seen nothing less than 60% growth. I invest with GTB fund managers and this month alone, I've seen a 12% return on my capital.

What I do is actually is to split my portfolio. 30% MMF and 70% Equity funds. My goal is to invest for 20 years and leave the funds to my children. I'm 40 years.

Get information so you can liberate yourself. Don't blame yourself in next 20 years when your mates are reaping. Mutual funds is not Pon...Zi

The asset management arm of the bank is entirely different from the banks operations

With this your mindset, e go hard you to make am inside life o. Everything na scam to you. How do mutual and equity fund relate to Ponzi?
