Hello Angel Investor out there,

PREAMBLE

I am a professional FX trader with 14 years trading experience. I have developed a powerful trading strategy that is capable of generating an average of 50% return on investment monthly and consistently based on a unique money management plan and a very rare trading technique.

I want to deploy this great potential into the world of copy trading which is a kind of Fintech business that allows those looking for a way to make sweatless extra income leverage on the outcomes of any profitable master account .

In lay man term, it means if I make 50% profit on my account, they too would make 50% profit so long as their account is connected to my master account . At the end of each month, the broker would then pay me 40% of the profit I have been able to generate for all the people connected to my master account while they pocket the other 60% .

So for example , if Bola, Atiku and Peter are all following me with N500k each, at the end of the month, each of them would have made an extra profit of N150k! Which is 60% of the N250k (50%) profit made on their individual account for 1 month.

When this continues, these trio would tell their friends and they would also top up their initial capital till the total portfolio following me would grow to N10m or more! I would still be earning my 40% on these total funds automatically every month.

These followers connected to me all have full control of their funds and they are dealing with the broker directly so they can exit at anytime with their funds and accrued profits. Therefore, their funds are safe and the profit which varies from months to months is certain.

THE ANGEL INVESTOR.

I am looking for an angel investor who can invest N1m which would be used to put some structures in place and to effectively market this fintech copy trading business locally and internationally with the aid of social media marketing.

Within 6 months, my projections is to have N10m following my master account. As soon as this target is achieved, you would be entitled to 30% of the share coming to me monthly from the profits generated from my copy trading clients .

For example, if I make 50% profit for all followers and I earn N2m as my 40% share, you would be entitled to N600k (30%) monthly for as long as the master account is in operation.

At month 12, your initial N1m would be used to fund an account for you so that you can also earn a full 60% (N600) profit on the capital
each time the fund is doubled. You are not expected to touch the fund until month 24 when the 1m totally can then becomes yours. However, you can always cashout your N600k at any time each time the capital is doubled.

After 24 months, your initial Investment capital to this fintech venture would have returned to you and you would have been earning about 1m monthly from both the share coming from the fintech copy trading business and then the profit coming from the account funded in your name if you choose to leave the N1m on your FX account.

This offer is achievable so long as you can partner with me on this.

Looking forward to working with you.

All what you wrote here is just theory!

If you're confident that you know what you're doing you will sell all your property to raise the 1 million knowing fully well that you can recover the money in less than 6 months and replace the items you sold!

Abujaexpress:
Since 2015, every August 26 has been observed as “Hausa Day” (or “Ranar Hausa” in the Hausa language) by Hausa-speaking people all over the world. In honour of this day, I highlight 20 Nigerian English—and Nigerian Pidgin English— expressions that owe debts to the Hausa language.

As with every language that leaves its primordial shores, the Hausa words that make it to Nigerian English are often contorted from their original forms and meanings.

1. “Jaara.” Most speakers of Nigerian English recognize this word as an additional, often small, quantity that a merchant gives to a customer who purchases goods in the market as a show of appreciation for the customer’s business. It is derived from the Hausa “gyara.”

The word’s corruption to “jaara” in Nigerian (Pidgin) English) is a consequence of the absence of the Hausa phoneme “gy” in most Nigerian languages.

Interestingly, in the U.S. state of Louisiana, when I lived for almost two years before moving to Georgia, people use the term “lagniappe” (pronounced Lan-Yap) to signify what Hausa people call “gyara” and that Nigerian English speakers call “jaara.”

No other part of the United States has a culture of merchants giving a small gift to their customers after a transaction. I once speculated that the Louisiana “lagniappe” culture may be traceable to enslaved Hausa people in the state hundreds of years ago.

2. “Babban riga.” The resplendent, broad-sleeved, flowing gown that has now become the attire of choice of Nigerian politicians of all ethnicities is often called “babban riga” in Nigerian English. It’s a slight distortion of “babbar riga,” its Hausa name.

3. “Megad.” This Nigerian English word for what native English speakers call a door guard, a gatekeeper, a uniformed doorman, or a hall porter came to us from a distortion of the Hausa “maigadi,” itself a blend of the Hausa “mai” and the English “guard.”

The fact that most doorkeepers in Nigerian urban centers used to be—probably still are—Hausa or Hausa-speaking northerners helped to admit “megad” into the pantheon of unique Nigerian English expressions.

4. “Buka.” This word now means a cheap, casual, ramshackle eatery that sells already prepared food. It came from the Hausa word “bukka,” which means a temporary, tumble-down hut or tent.

Since most roadside or dirt-cheap eateries in Nigeria used tents (many don’t these days), Nigerians neologized the word “bukateria” from “bukka” on the model of cafeteria, itself an American English word borrowed from Spanish.

5. “Burantashi.” Most Nigerians know this word to be the Hausa word for an aphrodisiac, that is, the bitter herbal concoction that reputedly stimulates sexual desire in men. “Bura” is the Hausa word for the male reproductive organ and “tashi” is the Hausa word for rising, waking up, etc. Curiously, however, the word “buratashi” (which is probably how it would have been
Menu

In everyday conversational Hausa, at least among Hausa Muslims, “bura” is rarely used except in vulgar insults such as “bura uban ka/ki” (which is now rendered as “borobanka” in some varieties of Nigerian Pidgin English).

I’m genuinely curious how “burantashi” came to be if it’s almost absent in the demotic repertoire of native Hausa speakers. Hausa people call aphrodisiacs “maganin karfin maza” or “gagi.”

6. “Fadama.” This Hausa word for a fertile wetland is now a widely used terminology in agriculture in Nigeria and beyond.

7. “Do guy.” To “do guy” in Nigerian English is to preen, to show off with elaborate sartorial care. That expression owes provenance to the Hausa “gayu,” where it means the same thing. A dandy is called “dan gaye” or “dan danyu” in Hausa.

But it seems like there is a circular sociolinguistic loop in the emergence of this expression from Hausa to Nigerian English. Since “gayu” itself doesn’t seem to be native to Hausa, it’s reasonable to assume that it’s a loan to the language from the English “guy.”

Guy means an adult male in English, and men who wore shirts and trousers (as opposed to the more common Hausa attires of kaftans and babbar riga) were referred to as “guys.” So, “guy” might have changed meaning from just being men attired in Western clothes to dandies, from where it made its way to Nigerian Pidgin English and later to Nigerian English to simply mean preening.

8. “Long leg,” the Nigerian English idiomatic expression for connections (which even Wole Soyinka used in one of this iconic plays) is said to be the direct translation of the Hausa dogon-kafa. Dogon-kafa can mean long-established, and it can colloquially mean (unfair) advantages that come with knowing people in high places.

9. “Kaya mata” or “kayamata” (which native Hausa speakers would write as “kayan mata”) has come to mean sexual stimulant for women and is now widely known by that name in southern Nigeria.

10. “Mudu,” the unit of measurement that most Nigerians use in the market, is a Hausa word.

11. To “see gobe” in southern Nigeria is to be in trouble, sometimes good trouble. It’s the title of Davido’s 2013 hit song. It may have been derived from the Hausa “sai gobe,” which literally translates as “until tomorrow.” I am also curious to know how the semantic transition occurred from “until tomorrow” to “being in trouble.”

12. “Suya” literally means frying in Hausa, but it has become the name for barbecued meat in Nigeria, which Hausa people call “tsire.” Since most non-Hausa Nigerians can’t faithfully pronounce the phoneme “ts” in Hausa, it’s entirely possible that Hausa tsire sellers encouraged the popularization of suya, an easier word to pronounce among non-Hausa-speaking people.

13. “Dogon yaro” (which literally means tall child) is the Hausa word for neem tree, but it is almost universally known by that name in Nigeria.

14. “Wahala.” Although “wahala” is an Arabic word, it came to Nigerian (Pidgin) English most likely through Hausa. It’s derived from the Arabic “wahla,” which means fright or terror, and is now firmly established in most Nigerian languages—and in the West African Pidgin English spoken in Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon

15. “Waaka.” In Nigerian Pidgin English, “waaka” is a popular insult often uttered in moments of extreme exasperation with all five fingers stretched out. It’s a corruption of the Hausa “uwar ka” (male) “uwar ki” (female). Uwa means “mother” in Hausa, so “uwar ka” is “your mother!”

16. “Mugu.” Nigerian 419 email scammers popularized this expression in Nigeria and beyond. It is understood to mean a chump, that is, a fool who can easily be tricked to part with his or her prized possessions under false pretenses. But this meaning of the word departs from its original Hausa meaning of “sadist.” Now, mugu has other variations such as “maga.”

17. “Haba!” This exclamation of astonishment or disappointment that has crept into Standard Nigerian English is native to the Hausa language. But a British linguist by the name of Roger Blench observed that “Habahaba! was a common expression of joking amazement in the US in the 1940s,” and wonders if there is any relationship between the Nigerian “haba!” and the obsolete American English “habahaba!” in light of the phono-semantic similarities between both expressions. I doubt that there is.

18. “Shikenan” (often rendered as “shikena” in southern Nigeria), the Hausa term for “that is it,” is now almost universally used in Nigerian (Pidgin) English.

19. “Shege.” This means bastard in Hausa, although it can also be used as an intensifier. It is now widely understood and used in the same context in Nigerian Pidgin English.

20. “Zobo” (short for zoborodo), a kind of drink originally limited to Hausa land is now probably the most pan-Nigerian locally produced drink. It is sold in African shops in Europe and North America.

Bonus: Turenchi, usually dogo turenchi, (which would be turanci, dogon turanci in Hausa), is now widely used in Nigerian Pidgin English and in informal standard Nigerian English to mean long, boring, ineffective harangue in English by politicians and academics.

FreeStuffsNG:
They are perpetual migrants looking for what is not lost. There is no gold rush anywhere. From Qatar to EU to Cyprus to Italy to SA to Ghana to Ukraine to US to UK and now to Canada, the japa crew are now officially 'one chance' victims. Some could actually have been better in Nigeria but they never learn. Their ears are blocked.

Some crossed over and their first task was cursing Nigeria and talking down on Nigeria. Those ones are the ones Nigeria, the land where their placenta was buried, cursed back physically and spiritually. Sadly, those ones are irredeemable.

They exaggerated the challenges they faced here and some actually quitted certainty for uncertainty before reality hit them hard , unlike the prodigal son, it became too late for them to turn back and return home because of shame, regret and what those they left behind who had overtaken them in life will say.

Andrew a.ka. Mr Japa, you better repent, start blessing Nigeria so it can reverse its curses on you and come back home to start afresh before you end up in life like a snake that never leaves mark on a rock.

Yeye cooked up story!

imagrg:
Sometimes I wonder why we are so crazy about getting between a woman's legs.

Once a woman is nude, most men would automatically be turned on. Some wouldn't mind even if the lady is related to them by blood or not.

A fifteen years old boy bleeped the mother recently. He shares same bed with her.
He is the mother's only child and the father is abroad.

The mother raised alarm in the midnight that the son was fvcking her. But some women were quick to intervene in the matter and warned the woman not to escalate the matter.

A man too, was caught red-handed in a brothel having s*x with the daughter.

The question remains: What's that magic about the woman's private part that makes a man lose his emotional stability?

WTF did I just read?!

SU50:
Bone of contention: jigawa politics, check the result of elections from 2003 to 2015 and then refer back to me.

As for Tinubu, get the total number of votes from the SW and subtract it from Buhari's votes in 2015 and 2019, refer back to me if they were consequential.

Some of us still remember how wike got to be Governor o, rivers of blood, CP Mbu etc. Man is not a politician, just a thug with power. I can bet, if free elections are to hold in rivers today, PDP not APC will carry the day despite wike's tantrums.

You can subtract and add all you want, the fact remains that the main reason why Buhari ever became president is because of Tinubu!

SU50:
If you put 10 wikes in jigawa they cannot buhari, these lot don't know who buhari is politically.

That's why Buhari contested for presidency 3 times and failed 3 times until Jagaban came to his aid!

Andy UBA is bigger than 50 million naira

How is he bigger than N50 million?

Please mention the name of one company or business he owns that is doing well on a national scale.

For your info this guy and several others like him masquerading as wealthy men are nothing but political jobbers who run errands for those in government then get rewarded with juicy contracts

Breeze don blow and we don see fowl nyash

I don't think this guy is even a serious contender for the post

I took a loan of 48k to pay back 60,960 within 3 months.. That's 12,960 interest. 4,320 per month.
.
I took it this month, I have till November 2nd to complete the payment but I want to pay everything by september 2nd to get a new loan, 100k so I could start crypto trading..
.
Is this a wise move?

Under no circumstance should you use borrowed funds to start trading in crypto except you want to bury yourself in debt you may never be able to repay!

Omonieme:
When I watched Shettima's NBA speech, I had to applaud his intelligence.... Same with Obi's. The problem is, we Don too hear nice speeches and plans but zero execution of these plans. If not for Tinubu's rumored state of health, he'd have been the best option at this time considering his fame of being able to spot talent and harness the best human resources in administration. However, Tinubu and his handlers are yet to convince us of his physical and mental ability to handle the rigors of the presidency. As for Obi, he gives me a sense of dejavu of 2015 happening all again. There's this messianic complex around him that might end up disappointing everyone. And governance is not by quoting statistics and highlighting problems but also proffering workable solutions to the highlighted problems.... He's yet to do this. Well, maybe he would when the campaigns start proper. As for Atiku, his policy document is brilliant and he might do well. But, from what we know from him particularly from that Obasanjo book which a keen follower of Atiku will at least agree has some truths and his zero ability to even lead his party the PDP, can he be trusted to implement what's in the policy document? Wo, 2023 presents Nigerians with the hardest of choices abeg. However, there's one easy decision I can help you make before 2023 and that's an auto decision.

I'm borrowing to pay another loan app

Taking an interest bearing loan to repay another loan will only compound your problems especially since you have no source of income.

My advise would be for you to take a loan from a close relative to repay the first loan then double your effort in searching for a job so you can repay your relative...this way you will not be under too much pressure

Nigeria owes Oga Ned $400 million dollars for consultancy on Paris loan refund..

She mistakenly gave me her phone to do something for her one fateful day. What I saw stroke me! I found out she's having sexual relationship with another man. This discovery has been disturbing ever since. I'm thinking of confronting her or telling my uncle about it. Please your pieces of advise may go a long way.

What did you see on her phone?

Look well before you jump to wrong conclusion

coputa:
I ran into an app in google play store,that pays daily interest on money invested,so i added their customer care on whatsapp,they told me the company name is "Tesla" and they produce recharge electric cars and that many nigerians has invested into this daily income business.i also ask if they have office in nigeria,they said they don't have yet.i want to know if anyone has heard about them before.

Run o, na Ponzi scheme!

The only genuine Tesla in existence is based in the United States and they do not have any app on Google store.

The only way you can invest in the company is by buying their shares and you can only do this through a stock trading company online

MrSuama:
@Curious345
@numen
@Thephinio
I just talked with the reaper operator I met last year and he further enlightened me.

He said one can charge a farm #80,000 for a job that can be finished in a day.

And the reaper operator and diesel would not cost more than #10, 000. One is left with a balance of #70,000.

Insha Allah, I am venturing into this business this year. I would keep updating the house.

So what you're saying is that if someone invests 1 million in the reaper machine he will recover his entire investment in just about 15 days?!

If this were true everybody in that region would buy the machine and start doing this business after all 1 million is not such a large amount of money.

Only an inexperienced businessman would believe all these incredible figures you're throwing around!

MrSuama:
@Curious345, Bros 1million is more than enough to start a lucrative agricultural business.
First and foremost, I would like to congratulate you for thinking in the right direction, because man would continue to eat until judgement day, so farming would never become extinct.

With 1million you can buy any of the following:
1. Tractor for lease
2. Rice reaper/harvester for lease
3. Rice thresher for lease
But because we are nearing harvest season, I would advice you invest in a rice reaper/harvester if you are close to where rice paddy is planted. Reason is that rice is one of the most planted and consumed commodity in Nigeria.

A rice reaper cost about #600 000 naira in Nigeria and I can assure you that when rice harvest begins, inshaAllah you would make an average of about #35000 daily. #35000*30=#1,050,000
#1,050, 000-#600,000= #450 000 profit( if you are giving someone to work for you)
But if you are operating the machine yourself, inshaAllah, you would make nothing less than #50,000 daily.
Do the maths and see what #1000 000 can do.

Na which kind tractor person wan buy with 1 million?

If you don't have at least 5 million don't even bother going to price a decent second hand tractor!

Princebest:
I got banned by the mod on the excuse of having alternative handle.

The question is, did you notice any mischievous or fraud tendencies in my activities or post here?

A mod banning me for 10 years for having alternative handle, that's really laughable. I am very sure most of you mods are guilty of that too.


An account that has been on nairaland since 2011 and has been heavily engaging and active here suddenly suddenly got banned for alternative handle.

Shame on the mod that did it. When you should be going after the real fraudsters, you're flexing your muscles on an innocent user.

@Seun, please caution your mods.

WTF!

Banned for 10 years?

Did you snatch his wife?!

Dem say dem no want Nigeria because of the fraudulent tendencies of the citizens...just accept it in good faith!

I wonder why some people find it so difficult to return money sent to them in error

sonnie10:
Considering the economic situation of the country, 4 days work week could actually save the government some money.

I'm sure you would not have typed this nonsense if you were a business man who is based in the east!

Sltp:
in a delegate election, there's no ballot snatching or multiple thumb printing. Yes, he did beat him blue and black. The delegates scammed Wike, and it's obvious why he's not a presidential material

The northeners connived at the very last minute to gang up against Wine that was why Atiku won.

That cannot be said to be a fair fight because the umpire who was supposed to be impartial also gave them tacit support!

Wike has my full support!

SimplePlan34:
Wike should carry out self appraisal then he would understand that he does not have the numbers. In fact the primary should tell him he is not as popular. And brothers would always be brothers hence the betrayal. If PDP Picked him as the presidential candidate then it's a dead party. Maybe it would have been better for Obi. because a divided PDP ensures Tinubu is president. He should be smart and understand that his best options is still Atiku cos both Tinubu and Obi will not stand his stubborness he his just isolating himself and making himself politically irrelevant.

The party zoned the presidency to the south but Atiku the eternal opportunists came out from nowhere and snatched it.

It's better for the election to go to Tinubu than for us to have another 8 years of Hausa-Fulani rule!

Jennifer663:
Cool.

How does this news concern you?
