1 Should you put everything in one investment
No
Diversifying reduces risk
If one asset drops others can balance it
2 Sample split for 500000
*Safe investments 50 percent 250000*
FGN Treasury Bills Bonds or Money Market Funds
Good for capital protection and steady returns
*Growth investments 40 percent 200000*
NGX Stocks or ETFs like banking consumer goods or Dangote companies
Mutual funds for long term growth
*Alternative or hedge 10 percent 50000*
Dollar assets USD money market or Eurobonds
Agriculture or real estate crowdfunding
3 Why this works
Safe part protects you during inflation
Growth part helps you beat inflation
Dollar part protects against naira devaluation
4 Bottom line
Do not put all 500000 in one place
Split between safe growth and hedge assets
Review every 6 to 12 months and rebalance

Got you
1 What Shari’a principles mean
It means the IPO will follow Islamic finance rules
No interest based borrowing
No business in alcohol gambling pork or other haram activities
Profits are shared not interest paid
2 Can non-Muslims buy
Yes
NGX is open to all Nigerians regardless of religion
Non-Muslims can buy shares even if the IPO is structured under Shari’a principles
The rules only affect how the company raises and manages money not who can buy shares
3 Implication for non-Muslim investors
You still get dividends and capital gains like normal shares
The company will avoid interest and some business activities
Returns depend on profit not fixed interest
4 Bottom line
Shari’a compliant just describes how the refinery finances work
It does not block non-Muslims from investing on NGX
Check the IPO prospectus when it is out for details on structure and allotment

1 Why inflation is a problem
Money loses value
What 100000 buys today will buy less in 6 months
2 *Asset classes that help protect purchasing power*
*Stocks and ETFs* Companies can raise prices so share value can grow with inflation
*FGN Bonds and Treasury Bills* Rates usually go up when inflation rises
*Real Estate* Property and rent prices increase during inflation
*Commodities* Gold and agriculture products hold value
*Dollar assets* USD money market funds or Eurobonds protect against naira devaluation
3 What to avoid
Keeping large cash in savings account
Fixed deposit with low rates that are below inflation
4 Bottom line
Do not put all money in one place
Mix stocks bonds real estate and dollar assets
Goal is to grow faster than inflation so your money keeps value
1 Important note Dangote shares do not pay you monthly You make money 2 ways Dividends usually paid once or twice a year Capital gains when share price goes up and you sell 2 Dividends example Dangote Cement paid about 20 naira per share last year With 100000 you can buy around 20 to 25 shares depenRead more
1 Important note
Dangote shares do not pay you monthly
You make money 2 ways
Dividends usually paid once or twice a year
Capital gains when share price goes up and you sell
2 Dividends example
Dangote Cement paid about 20 naira per share last year
With 100000 you can buy around 20 to 25 shares depending on current price
That means around 400000 to 500000 per year paid once
So monthly average would be around 33000 to 42000 but it is not paid monthly
3 Capital gains
Depends on if share price rises
If price moves from 400 to 450 you gain 50 per share
No guaranteed monthly return like fixed deposit
4 Shares vs Fixed Deposit
Fixed deposit gives small guaranteed interest monthly
Shares have higher potential but no guarantee and no monthly payout
Bottom line
With 100000 in Dangote shares expect yearly dividends not monthly
If you want monthly cash flow fixed deposit or mutual funds are better
Shares are better for long term growth
