Go for Risevest Dividend Income Plan

₦5M CAN EARN ₦5.75M IN 5 YEARS. HERE'S THE MATHS. I noticed some people misunderstood my previous post, so let me clarify. If you put ₦5 million into Risevest's Naira Vault at the displayed rate of 23% per annum for 5 years: Yearly return: ₦1,150,000 5-year estimated returns: ₦5,750,000 Your original ₦5,000,000 + ₦5,750,000 returns = ₦10,750,000. So, the estimated profit is ₦5.75 million, not ₦750,000.

The naira strengthened officially, but the gap widened The NFEM rate improved 1.09% to ₦1,352.87 per dollar, while the average BDC rate weakened 0.72% to ₦1,385. The gap between the two markets jumped to 2.37% from 0.54%.

Some banks surged, but the Banking Index barely moved Wema Bank rose 4.01%, Access Holdings 3.26% and Stanbic IBTC 3.06%, yet the Banking Index gained just 0.01%. The Insurance Index fell 2.44%.

Three indexes, three different stories The All Share Index rose 1.07%, the Proshare cap weighted index rose 2.41% and the float adjusted index rose 0.73%. Meanwhile 36 stocks fell and only 20 rose. Which index you read changes the mood.

One stock was 94.30% of the day's trading value First Holdco traded ₦416.29bn of the market's ₦441.44bn, with 4.88bn units, or 93.19% of volume. Total value rose 1,634.54% on the day, so one stock drove the headline.

Dangote Cement hit a 52 week high after three straight rallies DANGCEM rose 9.80% to ₦1,341.90 from ₦1,222.10, lifting the Industrial Index 5.50%. That is roughly a 33% climb in three sessions, by my calculation.

₦5.86trn added in three sessions Market cap gained ₦1.47trn on Friday, ₦2.64trn on Monday and ₦1.75trn on Tuesday, now about ₦164.90trn. The index is up 3.69% from Thursday's close, by my calculation.

Your ₦5,000,000 + ₦5,750,000 = ₦10,750,000
