Whether its true or not, i have always had my serious doubts about Oprah Winfrey.

Lucky thing her great grand father was taken during the slave trade, i suspect she would have been from , lol

Sounds mo like a convent, than a uni

A share loan is a brillant idea, one that i am also researching on BUT most loans for stock trading are crazy. Either the interests are too high, the conditions are weird (like giving you a select list of companies to invest in), threaten to take all the money if the value falls less than 70%, timing of 6months to 1 year.

I can only advise that you try to raise the money either by leasing your land, getting a mortgage or at least find a cash equivalent to the half the loan u are borrowing. That actually protects you more than the bank

Well i think we can agree that there is only one biggest bank in Nigeria in that case.
And its FBN (if the 500 BN is true), they can only get much much bigger,

strange that FBN operates with so much and competes with sterling, wema et al who still live on Soludo's stipends. Now they dont have a choice than to come to the market OR find some foreign angel investor OR merge OR be acquired,

Fewer banks on the way Nigeria!

today is 26th july so the date u suggest of end of July does not sound realistic

Has firstbank started trading? i noticed it went up today. 288 deals in btw

my email address is temietope@gmail.com. And yes, there are venture capital firms in Nigeria
