Nigerian investor on the NGX.
Strategic, risk-managed method – not gambling. DM to talk 📍

What did Onyi do differently? How exactly did she do it?

[Melvin | NGX Investor @PortfolioNGX]

Onyi and Emmy have worked as managers at Chevron for 10 years, with each earning a total of 300 million naira after tax.

Today, Onyi's NGX portfolio is valued at 600 million naira, yielding at least 30M yearly, in dividends, while Emmy...

..I learned the truth. The family head isn't ready to accept that maybe he is the problem, so it's easier for him to blame "evil spirits."

[Melvin | NGX Investor @PortfolioNGX]

I've seen the head of a family in need of therapy resort to calling pastors to "break the yolk" that's troubling the home, then go on to pretend like there’s no problem at all.

I didn't speak of it after my first attempt because...

I’m not a certified finance broker or a fund manager—just an investor who documents reality.

If a company's marketing or expense budget doesn't match the reality you see on Nigerian streets, walk away. Use real life to validate the paperwork.

@Morris_Monye Self-respect and confidence, YES.

@Ol0ye Considering that bear markets can be prolonged, I don't think it's best to place a timeframe on the market's recovery, especially considering our volatile economic landscape.

@Judeisrich @olumidecapital Exactly. It's the best market in the world, if you have the needed conviction and mental fortitude

Until I checked prices, I thought someone hacked into my account.

[Melvin | NGX Investor @PortfolioNGX]

I'm invested in solid NGX stocks, already mentioned in my previous threads.

In times like this, I only access my broker for strategic top ups.

Time will tell if it's all worth it.
