appleton: Hello everyone, Why not and if not? Just get professionals to handle the enlistment for you.. It might be a bit too early tho! But face book got enlisted on the Newyork Stock exchange at $27/Share and I think its way above $36/share as at the last time I checked.. Just make sure the brokerage and other institution to handle the enlistment don't do a shuddy job. People could cash in on this piece of information and do exactly what they did to Femi Otedola on AP shares.. That incidence alone dropped Femi Otedola from being a Billionaire to a Millionaire and since then, the poor guy has never attained Billionaire status again but a millionaire, I think femi's networth should be around $550Million dollarz now I'm not too sure but verifyable.. Single handedly AP shares crumbled Femi Otedola, learn from peoples mistakes and there's never a problem with Nairaland going Public, just that if it were me, I'l follow the Mike Adenuga Business Model.. Everything would remain private and mine alone but the call is yours.. |

I think Nairaland.com can be listed, thats is if all things been equal, investors are meant to come in and invest, as it is currently, I dont think the own wants anybody, and many not be thinking of going public @ the moment. |

redcliff: [size=14pt]nah. seun is too reclusive to take the company public. Besides Facebook did not turn around after they did theirs [/size] Who told you Facebook didn't turn around? Get your facts right.. Don't you know how mush burden was taken off Mark Zuckerberg? Do you know the comfort that comes with using Other people's money to run business. Or u haven't heard OPM B4? Do you know the sharp practices you can involve in when you are public? If anything happen the owner is safe but share holders bears the brunt, do you know how much Dangote has been able to raise from the public to further his own personal course and declare just a portion as dividends for public to share while he holds the major chunck.. When there is profits, its for us, and when there are losses, its for Share holders alone.. It has its merits and de-merits. Don't say facebook didn't turn around.. You aren't there at Silicon Valley to know what goes on there or in Newyork.. |

P.Stacks: [size=13pt]yea "other people's money" Well comment was based on the initial outcome of the IPO. I knew it plummeted at the initial phase. didn't follow it up. I just presumed. but i still don't think seun would like to do this tho.[/size] |

Peking order theory in finance connotes that most business owners prefer to use equity as a last resort of financing. Typically, they prefer to inject their own capital first, then consider debt financing as the business expands and when it is no longer feasible to use debt, equity is considered as a last alternative. In this regard and with reference to the topic, several scenarios can play out Listing Narialand on the stock exchange has its own pros and cons. If listed, Nairaland will now be owned by external investors (depending on the shareholding structure). This means that it could be turned to a “lean mean money making machine” (it is a money making machine now but with limited potentials IMO). However, once it goes public, ROI will be the main topic of discourse especially for contemporary investors who are always eager reap bountiful returns on their investment Secondly, it can be a cheap way to source for funding to embark on some strategic expansion drive (the “FB IPO” comes to mind) and for this to happen a lot has to be spent on awareness, branding and packaging to make the website a good sell to investors. Assets (tangible and intangible) have to be valued, cash and profit projections made etc etc One merit of considering the equity alternative is that there is no moral obligation to pay dividend to shareholders (ordinary shareholders) and there is no punitive measure for this( the Daar Comm, Cap Oil and Gas, Wema Bank etc etc examples come to mind). Unlike with debt where interest payments have to be made on a periodic basis to the debt financiers Overall, the entry requirements for public listing on the NSE will also be considered and based on the information at disposal (which is very limited), I doubt if the Nairaland can at this moment meet the eligibility criteria (this claim is subject to debate as Nairaland is still a privately held , closely knit business model). Personally, I am also privy to and aware that sometime in the past, a couple of mouth watering offers (via capital injection and PE funding) was turned down by the owner and quite frankly I would do same if in his shoes. Finally, I think we should all enjoy the magnanimous generosity of the owner who around 2004-2005 brought his dream of creating one of the best website in this part of the continent to reality thereby providing leeway for numerous people to express their opinions on a broad range of subjects with minimal restriction and almost free of charge! Just my two cents |

Yes nairaland has a very strong affinity to stand. One thing that makes people to be afraid of buying shares is the probability of possible collapse of such companies or its equivalent. |

datChelseaBoy: [b]Nairaland being listed in the NSE is an illusion. How much is Nairaland worth? At most 2 million dollars. Compare this with blogs and sites like Pinterest, Mashable, the Daily Beast and forums like Yahoo and Answers.com and you will see that Nairaland is way behind and still has a long way to go. Spot on mate, spot on. |

Seun, why was this thread removed from the frontpage? Are you afraid of criticisms? |
Re: Nairaland On The Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE): A Good Idea? by Nobody: 8:11pm On Aug 14, 2013 |
I dont think the thread owner knows what he his talking about Nairaland have less than 250,000 member , kindly forget that over 1.1million you see there and seun is even aware if this Now calculate it yourself if all the monthly ads in this forum can pay the following people Issusing house Stock broker Reporting accountant Investor relations Solicitors Receiving bank Underwriters Registrars Trustees Moderators You may think you are praying for seun but in actual fact you are wishing him high blood pressure and that can lead to strock Next time brainstorm on how you can be making little little dollars online and allow seun to manage what he already have Funny guy pikin still dey try to crowl amd all of a sudden you want am to dey run like usien bolt ? |
