one problem that we face in this country is delay in recieving share certificate. that is why i dont advice people to buy share through ipo(initial public offer) as long as you dont have that share certificate you might as well watch the price of stock rise to double and then fall back even below the actual price without u having control over your account . this best advice i can give to you is to open a stockbrokers account with any of the firm and then buy through secondary market. to confirm your share certificate, you may have to go to zenith register office and find out if the certificate has been sent to you or it has been returned back to their office. you can get the address from any zenith bank. once you recieve your certificate give it to your stock broker. success

brokers are after one thing (your money), so you have to be careful when u want invest your money thru them. remember for every trade placed they collect a commission from you. if you depend on a broker to tell u when to buy or sell you are puting yourself at risk because some might be false analysis and you lose while they gain.

for those that want to enjoy the wealth of stocks but either do not have enough money or lack the idea of trading stocks should invest through mutual fund. it is the safest way to guide your investment with good returns. u can do a search on the net for verification. here are my top picks funds( first bank heritage fund, oceanic vintage fund, arm discovery fund, zenith mutual fund and ibtc . GOOD LUCK
