All of you shouting liars, what do u want? So you pray that 30 soldiers to die? U believed a report of a reporter that is not anywhere near the scene and call the report of the spokesperson of an operation a liar? Na wa for dis country o...Badnews makes us happy, I hope dis doesn't affect you guys in life...

A lot of Nigerians are traumatized and sadist

That's the problem

However , when it comes to info like this, we take it with a pinch of salt.

because deep within me, I'm hoping that this story is NOT true (our soldiers dying like fowl)

bobbyL:
We can discuss individual companies you are interested in. It will be great if you can share what you think about the companies as well.

Nice

I'm looking mostly at the banks, because their stocks are very liquid, and they pay dividends on a regular

Dangote cement is also on my radar

Then two or three insurance companies

Doctorfitz:
Smh.
When commander go tell u advance, a call would come in from above and tell you to retreat. Who is fooling who?
This insurgency will not end until those benefitting are brought to justice.. I can't say more.

I have been suspecting this

Tonnexy:
A lot of things are happening in that north. Please let this madness remain there

instead of you to wish for its end, you are wishing it remains there

What kind of human being are you,?

Gkemz:
How is a product of premarital sex a blessing from God who abhors premarital sex?

When a gift prepared for you was taken before the gift was presented to you by yourself

Its still your gift

you just took it "prematurely"

That's the situation here

Godlylifeoneart:
I woke up early today, reflecting on our once beloved nation, the book writers giant of Africa in corruption, mismanagement, favoritism and nepotism, the new capital of poverty in the world home to many corrupt multi billionaires in $
A nation that does not protect minority investors,
A country where your losses at the capital market is meaningless to the government.
Can we ever get it right again in this country?
A nation where budgeting does not means execution or completion,A nation where pronunciation is not an action, A nation where optimists are actually pessimists in reality.
Suddenly, Nigeria overthrew Indian as the headquarter of poverty in the world under the lifeless president (Trump analogy)
What would happen should Buhari rules for another 4 yrs? The bubble will burst, our investment will go down the drain of history.
What will happen should pdp take over the governance of Nigeria... Your guess is as good as mine... Back to square zero.
We do not deserve the Atiku the kwankwaso, the tambuwa, the Saraki of this world.
What many analysts do not understand is that it is not just the bear that is wiping away our investment in NSE, the danger we do not see has been sighted by the foreign raiders (investors)
If GT bank one the best manage institution in the world is being exited at the speed of light by foreign raiders then there is a hand writing on the wall which many minority investors have failed to acknowledged.
GT bank is an anti bear, GT bank symbolizes the hope of NSE, once foreign raiders interest declined in GT then we are all in trouble.
My view to right the hardship being faced by minority investors is for us to call on the insensitive politicians that are ruining Nigeria to pass a bill or an executive order for an establishment of portfolio protection insurance at a reasonable price.... Maybe 0.005% per portfolio, reduction of brokerage fee from 1.35% to 0.5%
The brokers in Nigeria do nothing and earn like Agbalowomeri... In order word they are gold diggers.
May God rescue us from the fear of the unknown. Amen

This your post got me thinking

Too much malpractice, corruption and wickedness is what troubles Nigeria

Any ways Najia go survive

Anybody here?

Kabaka100:
I'll just give u radical explanation on why we have this epidemic of attitude problems in our medical sector and other professional sectors too.
Focussing on the medical sector, once u see a doctor with stupid attitude and another with good attitude, I urge u to first to make a quick guess of the doctor's background and environmental influences b4 he/she became s doctor. In most cases if u do further research into that doctor's background, u will understand that in most cases doctors from well to do families will treat u better than doctors from poor families and backgrounds. This is not so 100% all the time but it is so about 98% of the time.
The logical reason for this is because rich people to to make this easy for their kids while poor people can even they try but their struggle like them till the become doctor. So when these doctors from different background go out in the real world, they will treat kike they see the world. Most doctors from the rich family will make tgeir patients feel good because thats how they see their workd while the doctors from tge poor familiees will make things rough for the patients because psychologically they are on a rebellion against a systm which made them suffer. This rebellious attitude applies to all sectors of our system, from politcs to medicine. The people in that system are just responding, reacting and and in most cases rebelling againt the foundation which has moulded them to what they've become. It's just human nature and if not kept in check with system designed punishments, it can destroy a nation like its affecting all our sectirs right now

I agree 100 % with you on this one.
A!lot of Nigerians are psychologically transducer due to the sufferings and all.

Even tho they don't admit it, it's true

Kolping:
Revamp? With the kind of people in charge at the various levels, especially in the university system, I dare say it won't happen anytime soon. From what I've seen, money is not the issue. The problem is our education is not fit for purpose.

interesting perspective

cue64:
okay bro thanks a lot please where is their park located

just find your way to maza maza (after mile 2) in Lagos and ask for directions
Their park is in Maza maza

Chief, EPS that never gets to shareholders, that one follow for EPS.

DBN, Fidelity and FCMB are birds of the same feather as far as EPS/Dividend is concerned.

They were remote and immediate causes of the action. I can see that you are only interested in the German invasion but not interested in why they did that. Any way, you are entitle to your opinion.

Oya, go to NSEMPA and face the bear.

I know all the history


The reparations and the loss of colonies Germany suffered (which by the way was consequences of WW1)

But just like every populist, Hitler hid under that smokescreen to perpetuate his agenda.

Hitler no be better person, and that's the truth

Okay after everything, what was the result?

cue64:
bro please which bus would be the best to Abidjan and what would the price be like

young shall grow is the best to me.

Can't really say about the price

These days I take flights

But I am very sure that one way trip will not cost up to 30k

that one is guaranteed

jamace:
Forget western propaganda. Adolf was a nationalist who defended and and rescued his people from western slavery. He showed the west the stuff the germans were made of. He reassured the germans that they were great and can be whatever they wanted to be. The development of germany today is a testimony of Adolf Hitler legacy.
I doff my hat for him.

I guess occupying Poland,Belgium and France was part of "reassuring German people they are great"

we hear

Very interesting

damosky12:
hmm. These jambites are naive o. How would you choose Unilorin over the University of first choice and the Nations pride; UNILAG?

the logic is simple

They think they stand a better chance there

So I'm not surprised

oluwaseyi000:
the reality is that Nigeria population is far overboard, far more than resources and infrastructure, note that most northerners don't go to school if they do some schools will have almost half-a-million applicants; please don't mention corruption even China and Indian are among world poorest due to huge population. we seriously need a strong and effective birth control and China-like one-child policy will be a good starting point

That's the problem

The population is growing rapidly

I think any one with more children than necessary should be sterilized

We need drastic measures to save this country

Deadlytruth:
From the name alone - Agba (Senior) lowo (portfolio size) .....

You are a sharp oga
I put the code, you decoded it
We understand why he is hiding himself
Kidnappers plenty for hood these days

Agbalowomeri:
Chai bross find better phrase describe us na

Why are you "joking" sir

we no get kidnappers here na

we are our oga's keeper here

Deadlytruth:
It becomes a highly subjective perception matter. Two individuals might both have, say, N5m worth portfolio size, and while one who has few responsibilities may see it as large, the one with numerous responsibilities on his shoulders may consider it as low sized.

5m portfolio size in this hard Nigeria is not "small"

At the same time, it's not big enough.

We have ogas trading with over 200m in theur portfolio

Awon agba

IstandWithGod:
When I heard Davido decided to serve, I knew he was gonna do something crazy before camp was over in order to trend again...if this news is true, then the attention seeker has gotten the attention of lazy Nigerian youths again...Why couldn't he just suspend ALL shows for the three weeks he would be in camp?

Well, this is Nigeria: it is possible he has settled the state director, camp commandant and the rest.

money he will lose for cancelling three weeks show will be too much o

Benekruku:
If their is one thing I love Nigeria for, it because you above the law when you rich


That's why it's always the poor and average running to abroad


The rich ones ain't going nowhere outside buisness and vacation

It's not a good thing, or something to be proud of

Deadlytruth:
Not for low worth portfolio owners.

nice

And in your opinion, from which portfolio value downward is considered as "low portfolio owners?"

Agbalowomeri:
If you get a stock at 20% dividend yield, most likely by the time the dividend is declared price will adjust close to 10% dividend yield and that is 100% price appreciation
For 15% yield adjusting to 10% yield, that is 50% capital appreciation

Why keep any for long term sef

I see your point



But na sentiments dey make me hold these companies tho

My investment style is kind of eccentric; D

slyfoxxjoe:
Nigeria is a relatively poor country. A person with $11 billon net worth will be among the bottom of the list of richest people in America

what are you saying?

Agbalowomeri:
Unless you got it at 20% dividend yield

what of dividend yield of 10-15%

most stocks in my portfolio yield some thing of that range

hedonistic:
Inspiring photo here.

Meanwhile, for the uninitiated, here's a brief profile (or 'inclusion criteria', if you will) of the characters in that rarified gathering:

Aliko - Oligarch - multi billion dollars, preeminent Nigerian 'centre of gravity'.

Femi - Oligarch - approximately a billion dollars, a perennial Aliko sidekick.

Tunde Ayeni - Oligarch - approximately a billion dollars.

Duke - Aristocratic political figure with a big personality: quintessential upper crust 'life of the party'.

Segun Awolowo - Aristocratic silverspoon with a quasi-dynastic heritage. Always welcome.

Otunba Niyi - Aristocratic silverspoon/political has-been, with a self-effacing albeit charming personality.

Sam Iwuajoku - dollar multi-millionaire mover, shaker, influence peddler, fixer, arranger, long time Aliko inner circle member, and man with ways and means. Proven underground player.

Charles Ahize - eminent social climbing and charismatic arriviste, reliable P. I. M. P, social arranger and "supplier', and man about town.

interesting

Deadlytruth:
In my own opinion, you need to sell and avoid further losses which are obviously inherent in FO, then look for a more promising one and buy with the proceeds. No quoted company on NSE is worth falling in love with and residing in more than six months. It is not marriage where it is for better for worse as long as it is not your father's company. Not even the so called bluest chips are exempted.
They can do to you what FO has just done. From my own experience, long terming in Nigeria is dangerous and could be counterproductive especially to low portfolio size owners like some of us. You can wake up one day and begin to hear stories that touch concerning your company and bailing out becomes almost impossible.

The intersting feature of the stock market is that when one door is closed, another one is open right then but just the ability to recognize it.
It is not actually difficult to recoup your losses if you sell and buy into another company which is healthy but trading below its fair value.
The stock market is like politics where there aren't permanent friend or enemy companies but permanent interest of dividends and capital appreciation. Once a company your are in no longer holds the capacity to deliver your interest you defect to another which holds out such prospect.

Many investors have been sent to their villages permanently as a consequence of this hold tight syndrome. So Beware.

are you advising people not to hold stocks for the long term

VULCAN:
No matter how hard you try, the people you worship above your own people will mock you behind your back.

Have you ever seen a Yoruba or Hausa putting his own people down to please another tribe?

this is not about putting one's people down

Nnamdi Kanu has already termed Igbos who don't support the biafra cause to be pigs.

That's where the slogan "Idiotic Pigs of Biafra" comes from.

That's why it's hard to feel the pains of Ipob members and Nnamdi Cownu

no matter what, he should have NEVER used such statement

gwama:
Really the African enriches the white man, by consuming all that he manufactures. Creams, tablets, lightening injections, the wicks and wigs and clothes and accessories. Poor African

the sad reality

But black folks too need to.step up and produce quality stuff and brand names too

shadrach77:
I don't know why Africans like to collect cars. It's stupidity. Not a sign of wealth. You end up paying multiple tax. Money that can be spent helping others or doing better things.

We have a long way to go

Are blacks the only ones that have car collections?

Why una dey talk this kind talk na?
