THE NEED FOR INVESTING IN NIGERIA

A lot of people have found out that working and earning a salary or trading and making profits is very lucrative, but demanding. It will demand your time, most of it, your energy, your intellect and a lot of other inputs on a daily basis. Working for others on a salary is worse than most other means of making money; this is because you will be required to work for the owner of the business, irrespective of how you feel, mentally, emotionally and physically. It has been argued that you may never be truly rich working for somebody else.

You will stay work in your office irrespective of where else you have to go, you will be tied down in work most days, most weeks and years. A lot of people continue to live this type of live for all their productive years! And in the end they will end up with a pension that is so small that it may not last them another two years. Many people have died on a queue to collect their measure pension. I strongly believe this is not the way we want to end our lives, so why not start saving money to invest from today.

For the business men and women, there is always a boom when they can still move about and hustle for business, travel from here to there, meet people and do fast business. Most times young people find it easy to survive in the harsh business environment that is Nigeria, no good road, no light, no water, too much sunshine and other infrastructure to make life better, until we start to get old, this is when we can no longer afford to move as fast as we want, this is when we expect our labors in life to start to yield some fruit, and if you made wise decisions while young, you will enjoy your old age.

Old age can be a time of laughter, when all or most of your problems are solved, no stress, and no debts. No landlord to knock on your doors for his hose rents. Old age is supposed to be golden. You could easily afford good medical check up and visit your doctors for routine medical tests to see if any disease is planning to affect you in future, and drugs will be prescribed to fight infections even before it starts. They said prevention is better than cure.

All I was trying to discuss above is the reasons I think all young people should invest. There are many benefits from STOCK investments in NIGERIA.
