Laboratory analysis?? You are being serious, for real?? In this Nigeria or where??

Oh yes. In this Nigeria.
Feeding of Pigs in Nigeria has gone beyond the idea that pigs can eat just anything. Give them anything and it's going to be "Gabbage in, Gabbage out"
I dont spend my hard earned money to buy feeds whose nutritional values I don't know. Mind you, there are so many feed suppliers and producers out there who sell what I refer to as Gabbage for good feeds and make unsuspecting people to part with money meant for quality feeds-that's me. Any feed I buy MUST be verified or verifiable my brother.
I am happy that the seller/producer has agreed to send a sample for proximate analysis if I want which is beautiful though it will pay him better to do the analysis at a reputable laboratory and attach the results for better patronage if he is sure of its nutritional contents expecially in terms of Energy.
That's what serious producers do in present day Nigeria and smile to the bank.

CBN Raises Rates for 91-day, One-Year T-Bills at PMA
https://businesspost.ng/2019/01/17/cbn-raises-rates-for-91-day-one-year-t-bills-at-pma/


From the results of the Treasury Bills auctioned yesterday, it's very obvious that the CBN deliberately refused to allow the rate for the 364-day tenor to be higher than the stop rate of 15% by refusing to sell all the amount they initially put on offer.

If CBN had allowed all the about N193 billion on offer to sail through, the rates would have probably be as high as 18% or more. So to prevent that scenario, they sold only about N119.59 billion instead of the initially offered N193 billion.

It's very interesting too to know that this time around, most subscribers preferred the shorter terms of 91days and 182days to the longer term of 364days probably because of the coming elections as people are trying to be cautious with their investments.

Me thinks that the rate for the 364days is likely to go up in the next 2 weeks.

I Know there's been a long debate on this

What happens when you bought T-bills at a low amount and then the prices go up. Does it make sense to sell and jump in again? Hope the gurus will help out

Using real examples

A 1million bought at 11.15% in August 16, 2018 for 364 primary market. Does it make sense to sell now?


What type of sense will that be?
If you sell it now, you will lose some money. That is, you will cough out more than what you received as upfront interest and you will also lose by selling it at higher rate because the buyer will receive higher rate than you received.

On the other hand, if you bought at say 15% and you want to sell now at 11.5%, then you will gain at the end of the day because you will pay the buyer at 11.5% whereas you received 15% when you bought it-that's how Treasury Bills work.

Thus aspect of Treasury Bills has been explained on this forum severally by my humble self and many others in the year 2017/2018. So if anyone needs further clarification, they should visit past thread.

I dunno there's something about shakara in banks that makes me more relaxed. though ibtc gives juicier rates, more than 60% of my investment is in fbn. I'm usually sceptical about "inviting" rates. There was a time ibtc was shaky but they've recovered ever since. just my premonition. anyone can enlighten me though to this effect.

When was Stanbic shaky?
If you don't know, Stanbic has always been No1 or No2 for a long time despite the fact that they don't have up to 1/3 of the branches of First Bank. Refer to their share price at the stock market if you are in doubt and you will see that it's either Stanbic at the apex or GTB.

If what you are looking for is a Nigerian Bank that is strong and reliable, then think of STANBIC, GTB & ZENITH. FIRST BANK is very far behind these 3 banks.

C4Ltd: so many bottlenecks in this country O! I weak!...



If you're talking about Stanbic and not being able to move more than N20,000 from your account, the truth about that is- they are only being fraudulent.

You can move up to N100,000 daily from your account via your *909# platform, but they want you to do that 5 times so that that they can get their commissions 5 times too.

But if you have their App installed on your phone, you can do even well over N500,000 or Millions via Internet banking.

In case you don't have the App or Internet banking, simply walk to a branch and make a transfer of any amount through the counter staff and it will be done in minutes.

It's better to have accounts (Savings) preferable in both banks so that if one fumbles, you simply transfer immediately to the other without losing more days. Don't wait till one of them misbehaves before making moves to open account with the other.

Hi Guys,

Season greetings to you all. So I request for my treasury bill to be terminated on Monday, I got it from secondary market on 12 September, 2018 and the maturity date is 14 February, 2019
Face Value is #825,000
Discount Rate is #783,309.25
Rate is 11.900
Transaction Fee is 300
Safe Keeping is 175.1

I got 40k plus as my interest l.

I received a call from them today, that I will be credited with 801,000 shortly and when I asked them the rate they are selling it. It’s 14.0

My Bank is StanbicIBTC

Our permutation about termination is true afterall and mind you I’m still the Union Bank dude






Hmmmmmm The Union Bank Dude!!!.
That's beautiful but you didn't tell us that you eventually left the bank for Stanbic.
That was a nice decision.

Please why are you shielding the name of the bank?
Tell us the name of the bank and let everybody know the antics of the different banks so that we can know what they do in other to be careful and be more vigilant.

For example, if not that someone informed us here sometimes last year that Union Bank charges 25% penalty for premature termination of Treasury Bills, a lot of us wouldn't have known. And for this reason, I will NEVER go there.

If your TB transaction was at the primary market, the officer was right to have asked you to write that it should be at the bank bidding rate and not at "the prevailing rate" if the amount involved is less than N50million but if it's at the secondary market, he should let you know the rate of the available offers so that you will know and be pleased with the one you chose before giving him the go ahead.


CORRECTION!!!
Please not that I erroneously refereed to UBA as the bank that charges 25% penalty for premature termination of Treasury Bills instead of UNION BANK.

I have consequently modified the post as you're seeing above. Thanks for your understanding.

The bank is GTB.
Though I suspect the issue is with the account officer and not the service. Because I asked her to give me the available rates and she stated she doesnt know yet. But writing that they bid at the prevailing rate would allow them bid for me at they rate they (GTB) are bidding. I will find all the information regarding the TB and the charges and write here.

Was the TB Primary or Secondary?
If it was for Primary, she was perfectly in order but if it was secondary market, she should have asked you to wait till she could see the available rates so that you can pick or ask you to come back. But from your statements above, I guess it was Primary Market

25 % of the interest? Is the penalty fixed or would they look at the months left before maturity?


It's fixed. Even if you're terminating a 364-day tenor after holding it for 310 days, you will be debited a penalty fee of 25% of your upfront interest apart from other fees.

So people should always read everything written on all the documents they sign because it there

bros, so no interest for re-investing the upfront interest?

There is interest for the re-invested upfront interest but the way it works is that even the interest of the re-invested interest keeps re-invested until the amount remaining is less than N1,000 which will then be part of the amount left in your account.

For example, if you invested N1million and the upfront interest is also re-invested, you may be debited a little less than N1million-like N999,565 because your account has been credited with maybe N435 being the amount that is less than N1,000 which could not be further invested.
That's how it works.

Stanbic secondary market rate today.

59 days - 10.35%
101 days - 11 %
143 days - 11.5%

I feel that these rates are not good considering the surge in the last TB auction.
I got 11.5% for 142 days on 6th July 2018 when primary rates were much lower so I think the rate now should not be less than 12% to be termed "Good"

Good evening all.
I did a TB transaction at one of the existing banks and the account officer told me to write on the instruction that the TB should be invested "at the prevailing rate". She never gave me a rate at which to invest. I was later debited and my interest was paid upfront.
Also, what is the use of this TB certificate, as I didn't go back for mine for safety reasons as I don't want people to come across such sensitive information.

Good!!!
And I am sure that what you found there is that it was re-invested.

Stanbic should stop this idea of forcing investors to re-invest their profits and they only do this at the secondary market and won't allow it at the primary market even if you opt for it except you do your own calculation to include the anticipated interest when filling the forms.

Oga Tony,how about requesting for the TB Certificate to view the transaction history clearly..?


Yes. He should do that and I bet he will find out that his interest was re-invested along with it and he will get all at maturity.
He would have known that it was re-invested if not that the proof of investment comes about 3 or 4 days after the transaction.

Please I need your advice o
On Friday I went to Stanbic for my TB(secondary market). In the evening, my account was debited with the exact money I invested and other transfer fee was also debited. To my surprise, till this hour I've not been credited with my interest and ds is unusual of them. Please advise me on what to do. This is my third time of TB with Stanbic and it was not like that before


I had same experience with them (Stanbic) on Fri 6th July 2018.
I invested N1m at the secondary market for about 142 days at 11.5% and I was suprised to be debited almost same amount instead of the discounted amount of about N960,000.
I had to call the TB officer to tell him that there was an error and I discovered that I even know more about treasury bills than many of them.

Can you imagine that he was telling me that my interest would be paid at maturity to which I told him can't be correct because I did not reinvest my interest which of course Stanbic does not do.

I stood my ground until they started begging me after about 3days and told me that they invested both my principal amount and the upfront interest in error.

They asked me to exercise patience and that they would resell the difference but to avoid more complications I asked them to leave it like that.

A lot of inexperienced TB officers are handling it in the banks now. If you yourself is not knowledgeable enough, they will confuse you.

I can bet you that they invested your money together with its upfront interest just as they did to me. If you really need the upfront interest, then insist that they MUST pay you or report them to their head office and they will be sanctioned and the transaction will be amended and your interest paid to you.

Hmmmmmmm.
Apart from the descerning investors, all others were caught unawares in last Wednesday Treasury Bills Auction.

A lot of banks got their bids but most of them bidded low compared with the stop rates because they could not see the increase coming.
The signs were there but only the descerning investors could see it.

The CBN before the auction indicated that they were going to offer far more than the maturing bills for the 91-day tenor. The maturing amount was about N4billion but CBN offered N24billion while reducing the 182-day tenor and offering the same maturing amount for the 364-day tenor which also indicated that they needed to borrow more from the market than previous auctions but banks that were not skillful enough in Treasury Bills failed to seize that opportunity to increase their bid rate and at the end of the day, they got the low bids they asked for while the discerning ones got close to the stop rates.

That's why it's always better to go with the banks that mostly get their bids close to CBN stop rates like Stambic, First Bank and GTB.

while some banks got their bids through at about 10.8%-11.5%, the descerning ones got theirs at between 12.5 & the stop rate of 13% for the 364-day tenor and some customers who do not understand think that they were short changed grin grin grin

See the attachment below:



Can you imagine that CBN offered just N33.38billion 2weeks ago and over N200billion last Wednesday.

That was enough for any good, skillful and descerning investor to predict that the stop rates would go up significantly but many of them don't possess skilful market players.
