Making Money in 2009
The wake of 2009 leaves the avid investor with some not so shocking realities. Not so shocking because the highs of shocks of 2008 have left some dead, and the ones that are alive have either given up or are still looking for what to do. Some Nigerian investors have committed suicide while some oil barons are currently in mental hospital. In case you are however new to all these and why, then let me do a little education for you.
I know some people that as at this time last year, could value their portfolio in the NSE for example at N200 million. The same stocks valued now are averagely at N50 million. Technically, peoples money currently occupy about 25% of their initial investments. I have also heard of veteran oil magnates and also novices, who the downtrend in the stock market led into oil and gas sales. Due to the sudden bottoming out of oil prices, I have heard of people with debts they may not be able to pay. I gathered as well that the exposure of the banking sector in all these is approaching digits that 10yr olds might call uncountable.
The Stock market has left people with the aftertaste of the proverbial issue that farts in one’s mouth and puts salt in it. You can’t lick the fart and you can spit out the salt. {Oro naa so si ni lenu, o tun buyo si, iso niyi, ko se pon la, iyo niyi ko se tu danu}. Or how do you explain the fact that you put 1 million somewhere and now you have N250,000 there? You’ll be reluctant to sell, hoping it will go up, at the same time you’ll see many opportunities you should use money for, it’s a really confusing state for many. The oil market experienced the bull for a while, then began to bottom out as well. With the headlines making the dailies about real estate, it seems that the crash of that sector from a mortgage point of view is threatened. The exchange rate between the Naira and the dollar is also currently hinging on market forces, electronics and imported product stores have started pricing up, accomodation costs are on the increase. In this midst of this yam pepper scatter scatter {isu ata yana yana}, how can people make money in 2009? If you want to know, then you might be interested.
Last year has taught majority, infact all of investors that there is no security in any particular vehicle. Even the “Real” Estate is not so real. As people lick their wounds from virtually secure investments, an apathy for invesments will gradually lead to risk appetites beginning to soar, particularly when it doesn’t require commiting so much funds. Someone haven experienced a loss of N800,000 for example, is not likely to see a big deal in an opportunity for N100,000 with promise which may win or lose. The question on most lips now, is what are the alternatives, what else can people make money from in these times that makes sense?
The fund managers have learnt to be conservative, they now promise something close to what the banks can deliver, and that too with a pinch of salt. The naira on it’s own if kept in the bank however does not have the capacity to deliver it’s value in a few months, as the naira slide is affecting the cost of our importation market – which is virtually everything. If you read the article I wrote on Economic Depression 1, you probably can understand the definition of these times. Yet in the middle of that time, abundance came – It invovled a people process – Collaboration, Lepers, Courage, News, Economic Activity, War e.t.c.
We are putting together a variety of meetings to share some thoughts and ideas about these concepts and to show clear paths that should yeild financial results this year. You might want to make yourself available for one or all of these meetings.

When they are saying there is a casting down, We will say there is a lifting up in 2009. Thanks for showing the way and telling us how…
Bros,
Can you check the date on the BIT event ? Is that supposed to be 31st December or 31st January ?
Hmmm, sounds interesting, Deolu your analysis makes me to remember the soap opera “The rich also cry”. Anyway we can all begin afresh intelligently.
Hmmmm… comforting news and good direction to follow but i beg remember some of us oooooo. Anyway i trust you Deolu, we refuse to be onlookers or readers only, we must be partakers of the goodies, so we are expecting our own package too, many thanks.
Deolu, keep up the good work
well done bro, pls keep up the good work. but what about people here in abuja? we are very interested but the time and cost of coming all the way down to lagos can be enormous. anything for us?
this is coming at no better time than now.
more power to your elbow.
i’ll keep them logged on. thank you sir!
@Akin,
Thanks, I changed it already. Got so many text messages asking too.
@ Adewale
I’ll be in Abuja on the 26th of January, we can organize something.
@ Peter
UK cannot be left out.
Chairman,
2008 was a GOOD year for those of us who took the opportunity that came our way seriously (HOLIDAYS AND CASH) some people made as much $90,000 in less than 3 months others made more. 2009 will be a BOMB SHELL in H&C. Making money in MLM this year is a DREAM COME TRUE!
Sir,
Keep the vision of empowering our generation financially and otherwise moving as God will continue to guide and direct you…
I am so much interested in the Ajegunle opportunity and the club100 please communicate the details in due time…thank you.
Love you.
Oga Deolu,
Great Ideas. The Lord is your strength.

You are so right. 2008 was a bad year financial in many ways. It is good to know where to get good advice.
These are good opportunities…
Thank you sir for these..I wish i’m thru with NYSC in Enugu..Well, it’s just a matter of days now (Feb 9 or 13). I believe there are other opportunities after this day.
Well done Deolu.
We need something of this nature here in Abuja. We will be grateful for this.

Well done sir.
Deolu, is there any plan for those of us in Abuja?
Thank chairman for ur concern, but i read this track late, i would have loved to partake in the one organised for sunday 11th 2009. Is there anyway i can get a write up or idea that was shared with the 3000naira seminar? kindly forward it to me : dapour03@yahoo.com, i will be very grateful.
Deolu,
Some of us are not in Lagos o, how do we get connected?
Deolu,
I share your views on the financial crisis.Its a wake up call for everyone to impove on his financial intelligence,so that we can keep winning in both an conomic boom and a recession.It is meant to be constant celebration.The solution is build on financial intelligence to enable you take control,and hav a view on entrepreneurship.
Deolu,
Really these are great ideas and I will like to ask what can be done in helping others especially those who don’t have access to website.
Great job Chairman. I’ll drop u a mail about the club100. God bless.
