Hmmm, your post is very inspirational. I hope to reach your level soon.

I'd love to ask a few "personal" questions. Hope you would not mind answering.

Do you have a conventional 9 to 5 job or you run your own business? I think it's easier to grow your funds in TB with a salaried job.

Well, I will be 28 by June this year and I only have around 4m in treasury bills. You have just inspired me to work harder.

I deprive myself of so many things to save more than 70% of my income each month. No girlfriend, no car and no expensive phones.

Instead of a flat, I manage a small self con in a very quiet town with virtually no social life.

yes I have a job and do lot of bussiness in logistic...wet haulage....with your 4 m in are in good path already....it will around 8 m by 32 years and might be 10 m by then if u keep topping up...the interest might be enough for you to maintenance your self that 120 k permonth and your salary with be on perpetually save and invest mode...girl friends are drain on resources and quest for financial freedom and to conquere poverty but some girls are very beautiful and tempting....alway go for a woman that is an asset with some income and not this broke was slay queens

You guys have proven some of us here wrong that most of the younger ones are not serious. If you guys can continue like this, I can tell you that you will be better than most of your mates in the next few years.
Do you know that my driver's phone is even more expensive than mine? He once asked me, why am I living like a poor man? I just hand waved him and told him not to worry. I work 9 - 5, and I still manage to finish my PhD two years ago and my employer is not aware till now.
Aside shoes, I don't use expensive things.

I am always delighted reading inspirational messages form the younger ones.
Guys, keep it up. Hope to meet any of you someday.

Thanks for the kind words.

you are my type of man ...my friend that is yet to complete his house is using I phone x wetin i ask him how much he say it 550 k ...am sure he doesn't have capital of 3 m i ask him what special thing the phone does he can't answer that is part of packaging ...and when he is broke will downgrade to a lower phone and use the difference ...i told him why not buy a 80 k phone instead and buy gold of 480 and keep and sell do time of need...the iPhone screen is 70 k ....

mahvie:

lol
dont be soo fast to jump into a conclusion. you could have gonr ahead to ask for clarification from the branch before "concluding"

@ mahvie, you wan pull my leg abi?
On a serious note, i haven't gone back to ask why it happened that way, i only based my conclusion on that single experience and again, if you've been able to reinvest through their primary mkt, pls share it

Me wey still dey operate small money level prefer to get both capital n interest at the end of the tenure

Gurus in the house, please explain how the NTB works during the military regime.

Funniest thing is that most of them using the expensive iPhones don't even know much of its functions. Last year my co-brother in-law came from US, gift my wife iPhone worth 300k,i told her she doesn't need it cos the children will useless it, she agreed n we sold it then added the money to her business. Sometimes ago, i was with her same sister whose husband gave out the gift, she is using 550k worth of iPhone , there was a need to use a browser on her phone, pretty bad she doesn't even know where it's located,.Then i asked.. why r u with d phone, she said facebook, whtsapp n to call out. Common,the cheapest android can do that. As an investor, you have to deprive ur self some unnecessary luxury life in order to achieve ur goals,good lifestyle don't come easy. I remember 13 yrs ago, was living in a boy-squater of a ten flat at the front, most of the tenants called me n my family boysquater boys, i will just put on a smile. Withing four years i was able to build my own house n they were amazed when i was set to pack out. NTB is not overnight riches thing, you need to plan 5/7 years ahead now, that i told my wife. I like this ntb investments because it encourages me to safe for the future and also to enjoy "responsibly" . I hate mentioning figures but in 5 yrs time with this ntb, i shall be a KING in my own world,God willing. God bless our hustle

Agbaletu:

You guys really get heart o. I can't invest 8 digits via any App. Even I can't try 7 digits with the App. Are you guys really investing millions via this App?

Lol. Why this paranoia na?

People who trade on the Nigerian stock market nkan? So they shouldn't use app? Lol! Una funny!

Are you suggesting a military regime is coming?

My brother someone predicted this election shift one year ago, same person is predicting something that sounds some how today again. This was one front page today.

NTB is an investment and not a charity offering
You need to know how much your investment is secured
More importantly when u have deprived yourself of some "enjoyment" your mates are "enjoying" just because you want a better future. Then one khaki gang will come and start turningoninown

If what you think will happen, happens... even money in your bank account will be gone.

Your physical naira note will be useless. Anything that will make Nigerian Treasury bills to fail, anything naira both in bank account and physical note will too. It's that simple.

Welldone!!!

skyangel:
Since i've gained a whole lot of knowledge from this very thread, i equally want to give a little contribution based on recent experience with stanbic.
I submitted 2 forms to purchase tbills from both secondary mkt & primary (last auction), i gave instruction that both interest be reinvested, though no space in their form to fill in that.. Just told the banker who used biro to note it on the two forms.
Result i got.: The interest was reinvested for the secondary while that of primary was left smiling in my account.
Was i disappointed? YES
My conclusion based on the above, Stanbic can reinvest interest only if it's secondary & not primary auction

Any one with contrary experience fron stanbic may share

kudos madam, kindly buttress ur clue with figures. for instance, u invest 1million naira @15% pa. nd u invest both upfront interest along in d deal, how much will ur cumulative investment yield be @ maturity?

CompareDBest:
This reply is for reinvesting your interest to compound it, or get the True Yield of T-Bills. Please skip or ignore if capitalize means something entirely different:

Ogas on this thread with experience on the matter discussed this most recently on pages 689 and 690. However, if you are time poor like all of us really, try these main replies:
https://www.nairaland.com/878880/treasury-bills-nigeria/688#75396323
https://www.nairaland.com/878880/treasury-bills-nigeria/689#75409612

If we were to summarise
> FirstBank (maybe few others) explicitly offer reinvesting interest on their application forms
> GTBank does not explicitly offer, however, because it only deducts the discounted amount (Capital - upfront Interest), you can state the amount you want to invest is (Capital + upfront interest). GTB then deducts your full capital, including what would have been your upfront interest. Example, say you know the t-bills rate of your bank to be 10%, and you have N900k to invest. If you say you had N900k to invest, GTB will deduct only N810k and credit you with N900k at maturity. However, with this trick, you say you have N1m to invest, then your full N900k will be deducted and you get N1m at maturity.
> It may logically follow that other banks which deduct only discounted amount, not those that deduct full amount then credit back upfront interest even if minutes apart, might also allow the GTBank trick above
> caution should be taken to test above first, even with GTBank as Oga freeman67 only did it ages ago, and every bank does it's own checks differently.
> Also important, in addition to the capital to be deducted, account should have spare cash for all charges (commission, custodian/safekeeping, transaction, processing, 5% VAT on some or all of the preceding fees)

Good contribution so far sir!

Do you know what happens upon liquidation before maturity.


If I invest 1m at 10% for 365 days, what happens if i need money for emergeny and I liquidate on the 100th day?

Some people said here that I could lose all interests and even my capital. This stems from the premise that rates at the time I am liquidating, could be at 18% whereas I did it at 10%. Their belief is that same T bills will be resold to someone that will now hold till maturity, however at higher interest rate now-- 18%.

You have always been a big man naa.
70k salary at 2007 is like 150k now in bubu economy.

Are you sure you will enjoy canny given what you make monthly here in naija?

Akerewe:
good day great investors,
pls how long does it take to liquidate a treasure Bill with stanbic bank...

Same day/24 hrs... from experience

Hmm..
I was in the wilderness last year, barely surviving and only able to save 10k a month..liquidated some of my ecobank mutual funds that grew almost 50% in two years to fund my rent.
I have hope this year.. 200k sitting pretty in my account and it is only February.
I've never been happier..
Just have to wait it out some more before I go back investing..

Hello house, pls can one buys Tbills from a bank h/she does not have an acct with? Also is National ID, PVC or Intl passport a requirement? Thanks

For the secondary, i invested just 600k, @14.2% for 356days. From the e'certificate mailed me, i'll be getting 696k at maturity. Note that some change of less than 500 naira was returned to my acct.

For primary, the interest was paid upfront, the rate was about 14.854% (from my calculations) for 364 days

Hope my explanation is clear

I recommend the book “Your money or your life” to members of this thread.

There’s a global movement of millennials called “FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early”.

The goal is to work your behind off, while saving/investing the bulk of your income such that the proceeds of your investment can cater for your current standard of living.

Financial independence has a number to everyone. Eg : 100mill, 200mill etc. Find yours.

True talk .
My financial independence is to earn 500k minimum monthly from my investment. That I hope to achieve by the end of next year, God willing. Then I'm ready for retirement.

I did 3mill for 364days, but was debited #2,999,680. later I was debited #1,840 for safe keep. How do I know what am entitled to at the end of 364days. please I need advice becos my target is to get to 100mill in 10years, with continuous top up. I also learnt the next bidding is on the 26th of Feb. I hope to do two million but I need to know what is happening to my first 3million. Thanks for your help.

U r welcome. My same sister in-laws is about to join our NTB league now after my advice, i believe she will say a big thank you in 5 yrs to come . We all just need someone to show us the right way up, because wht we have now is not wht make us a rich one, but what we continue to acquire , added with wht we already had makes the difference.
