He is not stranded yet.
If you are stranded, you will not remember you have data so send rubbish on the social media

boxypane:
Even if you wan trend, must it be through a nonsense topic. Her village dey really shake her calabash.

They forget that the internet does not forget

I think the angel in charge should distribute another round of shame.

Some people seem to have lost the former one.

GreyWolf01:
Some of you write under the assumption that the people who comment on these topics are kids/ your age mates.

I can tell you are young (from your response)

Keep this energy till second quarter next year.

You bought shares in what accounts to "economic minutes" ago & you are excited?

Wow. Congratulations.

It is only a kid that could have said " investing is shares and stocks is a waste of time and money". But since you are claiming not to be one, sorry for my assumption. Maybe you are just an ignorant adult who refused to educate himself and has agreed to hold on perpetually to the ignorant end of the stick.

You are right. I am a kid. What an assumption! Just that I am a kid old enough to have bought shares during public offer of 2002, 2003 for himself and his children.

GEJDHERO:
please guys how do i get my clearing house number....its been LONG i did these things

Get your statement of account from your stockbroker. The CSCS number will be starring you in the face from one angle

iwaeda:
I bought , Africa prudential refuse to send me dividend.

Download the INVEARN app and thank me later.

That is all you need to get your dividends

GreyWolf01:
Buying and holding Nigerian stocks and shares is an exercise in futility and a waste of time.

You will do better to buy USD /GBP Foat & Hold.

Are you suggesting, assuming, projecting or confirming this assumption?

Educate yourself please.

For a quick check, ask anyone who bought at least 10,000 units of GT shares during the public offer at N10.90 before replying Mr.

1x2x3:
Let's assume in 2009, someone purchased 2,000,000 shares at the rate of N2. This will be a total of N4M invested.

In 2024 which is 15 years later, the shares is currently at N11.
2,000,000 share = N22M + those petty dividends they paid.

Looks like a good investment.



Let's look at what who held dollar would have made just by putting N4M into dollars in 2009 when dollar was $150.

4,000,00 ÷ 150 = $26,666

In 2024, $1 = 1650


$26,666 x 1650 = N43, 998,900 (that's roughly twice the amount from shares in that company)


What about who gambled on BTC?

In 2009 bitcoin was $0.10

Just $1,000 would have given you 10,000BTC

In 2024, 10,000BTC = $672,344,400.


Only if we can see the future

No reasonable investor will tie down a whole N4m down since 1999 or whatever year you are quoting till date .

Investments don't work that way. Only analysis does.

If only you know what N1M is then.

rowrowland:
You guys are lucky as the share value already dropped as at that time - your dad bought cheap.
I bought mine before then and it turned out to be the ultimate Scam - the moment Baba Iyabo moved his money, it crumbled. Transcorp then was promising because of Obasanjo - it would've performed if he got third term. Stock pros in-house, correct me if I'm wrong oo.
I think I bought for 20naira per share back then.

There was never a time Obasanjo put his money in Transcorp and withdrew same . This is just an unfounded rumour.

Transcorp only seized the opportunity of the shares public offering of that time even without the solid fundamentals to support the public offer price the shares sold for. Besides, it was the cowboys at the time that packaged it for the public to chew

thesicilian:
He didn't buy much shares to begin with, considering the price then in 2013 was just N1.65 per share (from a quick Google search) resulting in a total of N1732.5 for his 1050 shares. That seemed like a trial purchase rather than a solid investment for the future.
If he had put that money into crypto then I'm sure the return on investment would be in millions by now.

The man did not buy at N1.65.
If the son could be talking about share certificate, it shows the man bought through the public offer. The public offer price was N7.00 if I am not mistaken.

You talked about crypo, I doubt if crypo was existing then.

You are very correct about the purchase being a trial and error thing rather than an investment for the future.

You don't put token in shares or any investment for that matter and expect it to end your misery.

Alexiiydon:
same way igbo are now the emergency lover of SIM

Well said.

That is why Public schools teachers no dey flog again.

You know no pikin wey never chop for two days.

Beat pikin go kirikiri

panpan:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) should be dissolved. The laws enabling EFCC should be repealed.
In practice, EFCC is of no benefit to the general Nigerian population.
EFCC was created just to please the west in general, and the United States in particular.
In other words, EFCC is just a harassment tool against young men who appear to be doing well financially.

Is convicting Tafa Balogun and a host of other former governors part of the plan to please the west and US?

HeatSeeker:
The suit is very relevant. If due process was not followed in establishing our anti-Corruption agencies then we have a long way to go in overcoming the scourge of corruption.


Anyway... I have to commend the legal team of Yahaya Bello and the Kogi state government. They have truly proven their worth in salt as regards the battle with EFCC. This is the kind of legal team I would like to have if I venture into politics.

You have the right to commend Yahaya Bello' s team. But have you given a thought to the wickedness in someone paying close to a million dollars in school fees upfront while some of the people he governed wallowed in poverty? At least, no one can claim that was a propaganda because the school made a repayment.

ValCon888:
It is better to be ignorant in private than to broadcast your ignorance to the world.

You are right.
But unfortunately, people come to Nairaland to broadcast and advertise their own ignorance to the world.

Seefinish:
Why are the River State's elders quiet and allow the 40 years old wine drunkard to caused some much problem in the state?

With all due respect, Rivers elders are only after their own selfish interest. Otherwise, they would and should have been able to call the two sides to a table. But where elders have decided to take sides then, anarchy and illegality continues.

Apel147:
Why are there lots of paedophile in that part of the country!

They are everywhere sir.

It is becoming a pandemic all over Nigeria now

Tetrahedron:
So this is how the govt will fold its arms and watch this epidemic of deplorable human beings in this country.
A sex offender registry should be opened and strict penalties like hanging should be imposed on anyone found on the sex offender register

Ekiti has a sex offender register in addition to other tough laws.
Lagos has a very stringent and unforgiving law regarding such cases.
I am not sure I can vouch for any other state.

The state Houses of assembly should wake up, sit up and stop should nay and yeh.

Bahamas95:
What is "more safer"?

These girls got nothing in their skulls apart from shawarma, iPhone, and sex.



She nor even know the name of the motor wey she enter...... Assuming na gbola dem write for the body I sure say she nor go forget the spelling.

Miracle center WASCE results of course.

If you tie gbola for high tension wire, dis kain girls go pluck am come down.

TGreatGatsby:
As she dey form fine geh reach she no fit spell God is Good correctly, She for just put GIG na

Are you expecting someone who typed " more safer" to know the correct spelling of good?

Miracle center WASCE results of course

Flipmac:
It is the greatest shame a Nigerian father can ever deal with in his life.
No amount of money can make up for it. I can guarantee you that bobrisky's dad died a sad man.

Very correct. Especially your last sentence considering the fact that the father was a staunch Moslem

Unfortunately, people congratulated the mother when she delivered him.

Oga Kyari, where is the Port Harcourt refinery you promised sir?

seanfer:
Watching how the Libya players were wasting time from the start of the first leg in Nigeria shows that they are not ready to show the spirit of sportsmanship.
Eyimba FC in 2021 and Rivers United in 2022 were treated same way in Libya.... Rivers United had to rent a small field to train and the government disconnect the power to the facility, the team trained under darkness.
Until CAF take a serious action against all this North African countries, more african countries will start doing same back.

Unfortunately, CAF may not be able to do anything now because:
1. CAF election is around the corner and Motsepe is desperate for election.
2. The North African block has a grip on CAF.
3. Amaju Pinnik wey get mouth small for CAF dey Warri now dey attend Comedy night.

2special:
The Nigerian Embassador in Libya should have acted immediately when the Plane was diverted.

You are right. But we should give people the benefit of the doubt. The Ambassador has a job to keep and will do everything to keep it.

The Ambassador is resident in Benghazi.
The plane was billed to land in Benghazi before being irrationally diverted to the airport.

Ekenev2:
After denying any wrongdoings, they ended up giving the reasons why they did what they did. Just to retaliate.

Exactly.

If Social media does not set Nigeria ablaze, nothing else can.

Did anybody notice the concluding part of the first report " itsekiri over to you"?

Even when the report said both the killer and the victim are both likey from Delta?

just2endowed:
they should have reported libya to CAF first before pulling out.

CAF might weigh in the big stick on Nigeria by banning the nation from participating in frequent competition

What makes you think they have not done so? If you could reason it, other can as well.

Let us learn to give people the benefit of the doubt.

There are experienced people being paid to think.

Richtaiwo:
You mean Enugu state generates money from the dead?

They do.
But hypocrites will not see this to wail about.

If it were to be in a state from another region this thread would have been littered with tears of those ready and willing to cry more than the bereaved.

Skydivine:
A supreme court ruling made by only one man or woman that is appointed by the President is not reliable. It would always be tinted with bias opinions.
Nigeria should look into constitutional amendment to make the Apex more independent. The number of the court Judges should be increased and decisions ought to be made by majority votes

One would have expected someone with an atom of sense to know that supreme court judgements are not made by one person.

Soon, for the sake of your ilk, the legislature will pass a law mandating people to show that their skulls are not empty before purchasing a phone.

9JAMac10:
old heads should remember Wilson oruma. Those type of guys who shine in Europe and falter for naija

Maybe you have forgotten that Oruma and Okocha shared the same era.

Guy was excellent at the age grade level but the chances at the SE level were limited

impact4now:
How many times will boniface be given chance to lead the line, i dont even think he has touched the ball after 45mins. Nobody uses conventional standing strikers again

What is Man City using? Oh! Maybe Haaland is a goalkeeper.

Lewandoski must be a defender at Barca!
