Here is my opinion about Dangote's shares

Dangote's shares are over hyped. I'm seeing it everywhere. Shares has been there since but nobody heard of it or did it, it's not even popular

Now, Dangote's company went public everyone is rushing to invest because they want to associate with Dangote.

One of my parents told me to do transfer the other day through First bank. I open the app and behold, Dangote's share is at the top. They said I can invest in it right inside the app. Oh, wow. Just like that? They make it so smooth and seamless. I don't need to learn how to buy stocks or deposit in stock apps, just inside first bank app. This has never happened before

Did Dangote run ads on First bank so that people can invest from there?

Since Dangote's company went public I've not heard something. But stocks has been there since ooo.

And for investing in stocks in general, wether Dangote's company or anyone, it is a long term investment. Don't hope it will make you rich, relying on it is a gamble.

In America there is what people do. They have a job then each month they use a percentage of their salary to invest in stocks and hope that it will appreciate. They can wait for up to 10 years or more. That's very dangerous

An author once said that the stock market is used to preserve wealth, not create it . If you have a huge amount of money, the dividends will pay you very well and if it appreciates, it will make you more wealthy. But if you're not putting a large amount of money, you're only hoping it will appreciate or increase in value which is dangerous.

So, let's talk about Dangote. Why did he make his company public? What is his aim? Has he made any of his companies public before? Does he have good intentions for us? Or is he using the shares we bought in his favour?

Well, Dangote is a good man. When we had fuel trouble 2 years ago, his company bailed us out and even last year, idk. So maybe he has good plans for us

So finally to wrap this up, if someone is not earning good income, relying on stocks alone is very dangerous. The stock market is unpredictable. Nobody knows if the value will rise tomorrow, next week or in the next 10 years.

Most people who invested in stocks only got profits decades later. Stocks is really slow. Idk if it's even slower than real estate. Which is faster?

For me, if I invest in stocks I'll not rely on stocks, it's a long term plan. I'll just buy and forget it. I won't even be checking it, I'll go and work on other stuff to make money

Buying stocks is like placing a bet on myself. Ok, I want to make a large amount of money. If I invest in stocks now and work on something else, in 10 years or the next few years, let me see which one will pay me a large amount of money

And finally, so na for only first bank Dangote IPO de abi? I don't know for other banks. I can't access my first bank app. I open Opay to check for Dangote share I no see, ehn??? So Opay is too small abi? Dangote has made a huge mistake. Does he know how many people are using Opay and other mobile banks? He just lost and investor or other potential investors. If Opay had it, I could've invested too. So Opay is too small abi? No worry 🤔

Also, people that have Palmpay or other mobile banks, have you seen the shares?

My posts are getting lost of views because of it. I don turn mini celeb 😎🙌🏼

I'm sorry that I've not been around for some days now. I've just been busy. I've been trying to learn a skill while doing other things too. The skill I'm learning is AI.

From today I'll be more consistent. I'll post at least everyday.

Oh, and 9jawap thanks so much for the gift 🙏🏼

I'm just thinking about NYSC. A question came to my mind. If someone finishes NYSC should they be established already or should they start from scratch when they leave?

The amount of money I earned monthly during NYSC I've not earned it before. NYSC had so many opportunities to earn like the SAED and others.

I'm also thinking that your working environment can lead to more opportunities, like working in a proper establishment or something.

It actually does, I've heard people talk about it. Working in a school rarely does. And being posted to a village or city matters too. I was posted to a village.

I want to do like a survey or something. I want to see what people are saying. I have to check Facebook and WhatsApp groups.

The Facebook groups I saw didn't approve my posts, but they approved irrelevant posts instead. I just left them.

People keep posting videos in the WhatsApp groups plus it's too distracting. And must phone storage isn't big.

I'm learning something now. When I'm done learning it I'll check out those Facebook and WhatsApp groups and see what people are saying 🤔👍🏼

In my personal opinion there are some questions people shouldn't ask.

And also, life no balance. Someone can have so many ideas and they lack money to work on those ideas but on the other hand, someone has money and lacks idea.

In this case I'm the one that has idea but not capital. I'm still working hard to have the capital 👍🏼

That 10 million you mentioned, I don't even need it. Just give me 1 million and you'll see wonders. I don't need too much time. You will see wonders in just few months time.

If I had money to work on my ideas since I know where I could've been now, but now I'm going to be more careful so that I can raise capital 👍🏼🤔

He's asking if he's free. I don't think he will be free. I believe in karma.

If you do this to a girl there might be some consequences involved, I don't really know.

I'm speaking from a religious context. If this guy does this, will he face any judgement or something in future. Like he won't have children or something, Idk. What is your opinion on this 🤔

When I was a child and growing up I believed so much in religion, I believed heaven and hell, everything

But at a certain point in my life I didn't believe it so much again. Especially now. Maybe because it's difficult to believe what you've not seen

Africans used to believe in religion so much in the past but this particular generation doesn't really believe it. I've surrounded myself with people that question and doubt religion. Even online people question God

I've joined them but not all the way. I believe in God too, but not too much again.

At this point in my life, I don't even know what to believe again. People are arguing that God is not real, the bible is not real, it was written by humans. And it's not God that told those people what to write.

So many things. So my mind is divided. I believe God exists and all those other stuff, but another part of me doesn't believe it. Sticking to one side 100% will cause problems.

During my NYSC I had a roommate that was arguing about religion and while he was scrolling through Tiktok he stumbled upon a guy that argues about religion.

The guy on Tiktok said that religion has caused lots of problems in Africa. He said that when the whites colonized us, the brought Christianity to us. They used it to manipulate us. He said that the whites that brought Christianity don't put it on their head like we Africans do, but they're progressing.

He even said that religion has caused so much problems in the world. Not only Christianity, Muslim, etc.

My take on all this is that these things are very distracting. We should not spend too much time thinking about these things. Focus on your life.

Forget heaven, forget hell, forget God, just live life. If we spend so much time arguing about these things we won't go very far. I'm even doing it now. How long did it take me to say type this?

Finally, God could've just made it easy for us to know about these things but he hides it too much. He just expects us to believe all these things without seeing them. All those wonders happened several centuries ago but they no longer happen now, how am I supposed to believe it?

God knows what he's doing. If he revealed everything to us he would loose his power so he's hiding many things from us.

Overall, I believe in God. I know that there is a Supreme being that watches over me and guides me.

That's all I have to say for now.

Maybe I'll talk more on this later 🤔

The thing about podcasts is that the length is usually too long. I find it kind of stressful to sit down and watch a podcast of like 1 hour.

I need to dedicate my time, focus and energy to watch it. These days, even to watch movies and series I find it difficult. Movies are 1 hour + and series are 20 minutes+ or 40 minutes.

This honest bunch podcast in particular, I have only watched three episodes out of it and it was the early ones.

The first one was with Esther Sky, the second one was with the girl taller, the one about male hygiene. The last one was with Geh Geh. He told his story about how he became rich.

Apart from that, I've not watched another one and they are new ones. The ones I watched was when Nedu was around. But because of controversy Nedu was removed and new hosts like Daddy Freeze were added.

I've not watched these new ones. And this particular podcast in the image below, the guy tells his story about how he got HIV.

And this episode is 3 hours?!! I don't know if I'll be able to watch it because I struggle to watch episodes of 1 hour. 🤔

I wanted to do some important things yesterday, like learning something but I said let me just cool down a little before I learn. Let me just have some fun. That fun caused problems for me.

I said let me go through social media a little. First I entered Facebook, I was there for some hours, then a post I saw led me to Twitter, then Twitter led me to Chrome then to something else.

While I enjoyed it, I kind of regretted. It consumed hours. And I was careful with my time yesterday only to squander it. I'm not opening social media again.

This is what I'll do for the next few days. I'll post on 9jawap, learn something and chat with some people on WhatsApp. That's all I'll do for now, to avoid problems.

Thanks for the tip 🙏🏼

If Dangote and Elon Musk can create a company and wait for many years for it to go public, who am I?
