Nigerian SEC Vs Investment Companies in Nigeria On Illicit And Unlicensed Operations

Nigeria Capital market regulator Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released a circular issuing a strong warning to both intending investors and unregistered online trading investment companies in Nigeria, which boast of facilitating access to securities and foreign based Investment.


In a circular released on the Commission’s website, instructed unlicensed investment platforms in Nigeria against operations and practices which are contrary to Nigerian capital market rules, wooing Nigerians into securities listed in foreign markets.

This unfriendly move has been termed by many industry experts as a Witch-hunt against specific players in the wealth management sector of the Nigerian tech industry. Bamboo, RiseVest, Trove, and Chaka are few investment platforms in Nigeria that are mostly under this clampdown by the SEC. These companies offer the opportunity to buy shares of publicly traded companies in the U.S.

The Non Fungible Tokens in Nigeria Will be a Great Digital Asset investment

The world as we knew it has really changed over time with the introduction to amazing technologies that aid life and make things a little better, which non fungible tokens is not an exception.

NFTs are not so new but have made some waves recently which puts more eyes on them.
You may be asking what an NFT is, well the letters NFTs stand for a non fungible token, which means a “one-of-a-kind token”.

If you were an artist or at least someone who creates digital works, Non Fungible tokens (Nfts) can give you ways to monetize your work.

Yes, it is possible to copy a digital file but an NFT is designed to give you ownership of the original creation.

If you think about famous paintings like the Mona Lisa for example, you can always get prints of that painting but only one person can own the original painting by Leonardo da Vinci.

A Nigeria artist recently sold his Painting for 1 Eth which is approximately (~$1,900) on Rarible.

Nevertheless, this means so many creative individuals who are into arts in Nigeria can now monetize most of their arts using the NFTs. You can also regard this as #CryptoArt
