Guide for New Retail Investors Entering NGX

NGX can build wealth but most beginners lose money by chasing hype.

Rule #1: Treat this as a business, not gambling. Start small, learn first, never borrow to invest.

Step-by-Step Starter Guide

✔ Open a CSCS account via a broker (e.g. Meristem, Stanbic, Bamboo, or Cowrywise)

✔ Fund with what you can afford to lose

✔ Focus on quality companies with real earnings & dividends (not just stories)

Best Beginner Approach:
Conservative Portfolio
Scale in slowly. Never put all money at once.

Key Rules to Survive & Grow:

✔ Buy on dips not green candles

✔ Ignore short-term noise & hype

✔ Dividends > Price speculation

✔ Review portfolio quarterly not daily

✔ Always DYOR. No one cares about your money more than you.

Final Advice:

The stock market rewards patience and discipline.

Start with ₦100k–₦500k
Learn for 6–12 months then increase exposure.

Markets will test you.

Stay calm.

Technical Accounting Mentorship

I have thought about how I can make more impact with my knowledge and experience around technical accounting outside of social media posts.

On that note, I have decided to start a technical accounting mentorship. The first phase (a trial run) will be for 3 months (October to December 2025).

This is an opportunity for me to share what I have learnt over the last 12 years (10 of which were in all the Big 4 firm).

So if you are an auditor, accounting consultant or in general finance and will want to pivot into this area or up skill your technical accounting skill, then this is for you. If I need to explain what technical accounting is, then, perhaps this may not be for you 😊.
