Same issue crashed my former MDs biz. In fact, he went from a millionaire to a debtor within the space of 3 months. Who wasn't stealing from him? From the manager to the logistics personnel to d lady in charge of invoice/procurement. Funny thing is that he knew they were stealing but Baba just relax say money too much. The site engineers were doing haphazard projects. Day of reckoning came, our client a top mobile telecommunication co sent their project inspectors, the level of substandard projects were too grave too ignore and bribe couldn't work this time. By October, we were blacklisted. I had just resumed there in August. Pay was okay, all my plans came crashing down, haven't recovered since then as a staff not to talk of the owner. Last I heard of him, he is in serious debt. The Banks are after him, the engine of his N20m jeep bought last year has knocked. I really feel pity for him. Man took his feet of the gas and everything came crashing down. Modified: The Fmr Manager, a man I heard he took from grass to grace has opened his own solar company from d proceeds of his theft. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Some people here raised the issue high exchange rate in favor of Dollar as the parallel/black market has continued to edge towards 500/$1. This should be great source of concern to all, if no radical economic measures are put in place, the fate of Naira will be same as some other currencies like Zimbabwe dollar, Lebanese lira, Venezuela Bolivar and other failed currencies. Naira going toward 1000/$1 means more and more people will lose hope in Naira as means of Exchange, leading to adoption of dollarization. The below link gives a graphical representation of situation in Lebanon. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tatianakoffman/2020/07/09/lebanons-currency-crisis-paves-the-way-to-a-new-future/#782703436a17 CBN as a matter of urgency needs to strengthen naira by curbing the activities of currency speculators and black market operators. Restoration of people confidence on naira will stop panic buying of dollars for the preservation of their savings/investment. 1 Like |

It is not easy to open a business in Nigeria and have Nigerians work for you without theft being a big problem. I remembered how I was frustrated when I newly opened a bakery and a hotel in Benin, it was a very huge challenge. The issue of theft is a problem you cannot completely eradicate. If you want to be successful in your business, you must be on ground 24/7 and set up a strategy that would enable all your workers police each other, and you must try to compensate them from time to time, never be a greedy employer and ensure that your workers have a conducive working conditions. From experience, I have also observed that some tribes in Nigeria are more honest and loyal than some, like the Efiks ( Calabar) or Hausas, I can trust many from these ethnics than many other ethnics. If you can succeed as a business man in Nigeria, you can succeed in business in any part of the world. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Hmmm, the way I see it, if CBN see USD collect from you sef, they will be happy. Not sure inflow from crude oil has improved yet and I also do not believe the fundamentals support this price rate, it is more of speculation which can be crashed down in 1 hr like it was in 2016. Just one news on one Friday evening on Monday, they will a stampede. Tochex101: 4 Likes |
Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Cyberknight: 6:46pm On Jul 31, 2020 |
ojesymsym: It can be crashed, but we all wonder why CBN isn't doing so, or intervening. Perhaps because they've promised the IMF they'd unify the exchange rates to get their latest loan. Perhaps because they really can't afford to open up the taps and sell dollars to the BDCs and exiting investors as before. |

DexterousOne: I don't know where you are in your journey in life, but if you're still below 60, there is an easier route to the kind of life you so much desire. I've been following your posts, and I think you might be working in a highly competitive sector/industry in Nigeria. Why not get an international job from Nigeria, and become an expat abroad? Before you say easier said than done, it's very doable! I'm not necessarily referring to the USA, Canada, Europe where most Nigerians go to ''hustle''. I know Doctors, Engineers, Bankers etc who had their University education in Nigeria. Worked for a while in Nigeria, applied for jobs from Nigeria, interviewed via Skype, got a contract via email and the rest is history. In fact, I know a few professionals across different sectors in Nigeria who have worked and lived in all the continents of the world in just 14 years but still carry a Nigerian passport. They travel back to Nigeria every summer with their family, and by September they are back in their country of residence. 12 Likes |

Very difficult for us to end like these countries, but not impossible. We still have all the chances to turn things around by making the right monetary policies, just one or two right moves by CBN could bring back naira to 360 within 48hrs, but our fear now is that, we don't know the kind of agreement CBN had with IMF before they gave us that loan to stimulate our economy. Lots of things are not just clear in our monetary policies at the moment, lets hope and pray we survive these economical battles in due time.. Manwarrior55: 1 Like |

Most of these problems - stealing, dishonesty, greedy employees, disasters both natural and man made etc are what some people don't put into consideration to think that fixed income investors are wasting time settling for between 5 to 12% ROI. I have always said it here when it comes to investment generally safety of your capital is paramount. Look at Okomu for instance people like me don't even have what it takes to cultivate up to a plot but I benefit from a cultivation of hectares of land by Okomu, many don't even understand fully well all the economic terms but they are relaxed and compounding their investment in mutual funds like VGIF without even a degree in finance because they gave all those headaches to some people they call fund managers. So let's always consider different angles when it comes to building wealth. Do what is best and comfortable with you and don't downplay what others are comfortable doing to create and preserve wealth. God bless all our hustles. 12 Likes |
