💡 INVESTMENT FACT
Did you know that when you buy a bond, you’re essentially lending money to a government or company?
In return, you may receive interest payments over a specified period, while the principal is generally repaid at maturity.
Think of it as lending your money for a return.
This week, we’re breaking down Bonds and how they work.

Why would you lend your money to the government?
Because your money can earn a return while it’s invested.
With Treasury Bills, you lend money to the government for a short period and earn a return at maturity.
Your money doesn’t have to just sit — it can work for you.

TAKE NOTE OF THR FOLLOWING JUST IN CASE!!!!!!
When you want you to write a statement at the POLICE station or EFCC or law enforcement office;
1. Don't leave blank spaces, cross a line over any blank space left once you are done.
2. Remember to put full stop once you are done writing and sign at the front of that full stop.
3. If you are forced to write a statement against yourself.
DON'T WORRY, at the signature part.
Just add UD as part of your signature (meaning under Duress)
4. It is not a WAEC answer sheet where you must fill up all the page, write what you know only and cross line on the space remaining.
5. Don't agree to write a statement when your lawyer or someone you trust is not there.
If they force you to write, remember (number 3 point.)
6. Avoid answering unnecessary questions when your lawyer is not there.
You have the right to remain silent, cos anything you say can be used against you in court
7. If POLICE send you invitation during weekend, try tell dem say you go show face on Monday as you are out of town for now, cos they will probably detain you till Monday before they can transfer you to court if the matter is the one the type they need to transfer to court
8. Don't forget to share this p0st
9. Sign on every page of the paper, not just the final page
10. If there is a mistake when writing, cross it out cleanly, write the correction, and place your initials directly beside the alteration.
Happy taco Tuesday 🎉

💰 FINANCE FRIDAY
How can you make money from a mutual fund?
When the investments held by the fund increase in value or generate income, this can translate into returns for investors.
However, returns aren't guaranteed, and they depend on the type of fund and the investments it holds.
Always understand what a fund invests in before you invest.

🚨 MYTH BUSTER
“Mutual funds are risk-free.”
❌ MYTH!
Mutual funds can spread risk by investing in different assets, but they can still lose money.
The level of risk depends on what the fund invests in. Always understand the fund before investing.

⚠️ YOUR BANK ACCOUNT CAN ALSO BE COMPROMISED WITHOUT AN OTP
Apart from OTP-based scams these guys are using FRSC traffic violation messages to do, there’s another method criminals use to steal money from people’s bank accounts, and it’s becoming increasingly common.
You click a malicious link, or a fake prompt, and you may unknowingly install malware on your phone.
Once installed, the malware can abuse your device’s permissions and potentially monitor what you do, interact with apps, intercept sensitive information, and even gain access to your bank applications.
Never click suspicious links or install apps from untrusted sources. One careless tap can give a scammer access to far more than you intended.
Attached is an example of how they can take control of your phone in this video
We can find and remove such app if already installed on your phone.
Stay alert. Stay protected. 🔐
