Which of these Apps are you using.?
Everyone is slowly dying inside;
- Some stopped taking photos.
- Some lost interest in new clothes.
- Some hate love now.
- Some got used to loneliness.
- Some stopped meeting friends.
- Some stopped comparing.
Some just accepted what they couldn’t achieve.
The same people who once dreamed big are now just pushing through days.
Check on your people.
Not everyone is okay.
Cashless policy remains the most effective policy that almost eradicated banditry. It blocked the greatest enabler which is cash from getting to the bandits.
There was obvious and appreciable decline in kidnappings during that time.
I stand to be corrected.
Most people work for money.
The wealthy own assets.

The presidency should ask the CBN to bring back cashless policy, this time with strict compliance to the rules and regulations put in place by the CBN. Until then, the presidency should constitute a task force comprising of staff of all the banks in this country to go around every nooks and crannies opening bank accounts for people who do not have bank accounts. Let’s mop up 75% of Nigeria’s cash in circulation.
Ways to Start Investing in NGX Stocks as a Beginner;
1. Open a brokerage account – Pick a reputable Nigerian broker like Meritrade, Chaka, Afrinvest, or Bamboo. They handle NGX trades and are beginner-friendly.
2. Get a CSCS account – This is your Central Securities Clearing System number. Think of it like your ID for trading on the NGX. Your broker will usually help you set this up.
3. Learn the basics – Start with understanding what stocks are, how prices move, and basic terms like dividends, market orders, and limit orders. No need to dive deep yet.
4. Start small – Pick a few solid, well-known companies to begin with, maybe Dangote, BUA Cement, Nestlé, or MTN. Invest an amount you’re comfortable with.
5. Track & learn – Watch your investments, read company news, and learn from market movements. Don’t panic over daily swings.
6. Stay consistent – Even small, regular investments over time grow, and you’ll get more confident as you go.
NGX For Beginners: Read This Before Buying Your First Stock.
1. Market opens 9:30am to 2:30pm only. Mon to Fri.
2. Open a CSCS account first. That’s your stock account in Nigeria.
3. Start with big companies. Dangote Cement, MTN, NAHCO, BUA cement,Okomu, JAIZ BANK, Airtel.
4. Check dividends. Many NGX companies pay you cash yearly.
5. Check volume. If nobody trades it daily, you won’t sell easily.
6. Stocks beat inflation. Cash in bank loses value every year.
7. Do your research. Don’t buy because of WhatsApp tips.
8. Be patient. NGX is long term game. Buy small, buy often.
NB: Never invest rent money or school fees. Use money you can forget for 3 to 5 years.
