Diamond Bank Lists Investment Opportunities in Nigeria

-
Diamond Bank has said there are viable investment windows that would help restore investor confidence and shore up asset value and return on investment despite the currently challenges of slump in the price of crude oil and the value of the Naira.
Speaking at the “Diamond Privilege seminar” with the theme: “Investing in 2016, Riding the Storm, Unearthing the Opportunities,” in Lagos, Chief Executive Officer of the bank, Uzoma Dozie, noted that although the investment environment has remained volatile, there was hope as one of the bank’s strategic focus is the commitment to help investors navigate to other sectors that would yield optimum return on investment.


 

According to him, Diamond Privilege, the bank’s wealth management unit is fortified with knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated personnel that are ready to work with clients, guiding them appropriately to identify and leverage market opportunities.
“We are driven by the clear need to address issues around current market volatility while highlighting the tremendous opportunities that would deliver significant yields to the confident and discerning investors,” he said.
The Chief Speaker at the seminar and Founder of Agusto & Co, Bode Agusto, the discussion panelists, led by Head of Consumer Banking at the bank, Aishah Ahmad, agreed that investment opportunities abound in real estate, education, health and agricultural sectors of the economy.
They also pointed the huge investment opportunities in companies that are non-import dependent, critical sectors of the economy like electricity energy and FGN bonds especially as the borrowing level of the government to fund the budget is expected to rise.
Agusto noted that the key prices in every economy include interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates and identified a fourth key price for Nigeria, the “the price of crude oil.”
He identified investment opportunities as listed equities with strong fundamentals and competitive valuations, private equity investments in education and healthcare and real estate. He argued that some people who used to go abroad for routine medical care and secondary education will look to local persons that can provide equally good service at competitive prices.
Reiterating Agusto’s position, other discussants which include Fixed Income Analysts, Diamond Bank, Emeka Uzomba, Real Estate Specialist, Paul Onwuanibe and Equity Market Analyst, Titi Odunfa-Adeoye stated that opportunities in the equities market are areas that should be treaded cautiously.
They strongly recommended that investors should adhere to the global portfolio analysis, offered by Diamond Privilege, which enables clients review their investment portfolios from a risk and return perspective to ensure that they were generating the highest yields possible.

Healthy diet for the rainy season

Along with the showers comes the risk of various diseases like food poisoning, diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera. Again, in rainy season, digestion is generally weak. Therefore, you should eat less. It is also essential to fast once a week or fortnight. People eat some incorrect food during this time and fall sick. To protect your health, follow this dietary guideline: •Avoid heavy, salty food, as it promotes water retention and bloating. It is better to have medium or low salt food •Eat foods which are drying in nature, the most popular being corn, and oats, among others. Eating watery foods like rice and watermelon creates swelling in the body •Maintain the general hygiene while eating out and definitely avoid roadside vendors, as very few people have the high immunity to handle the bacterial overload at such places •The milk is the better diet in this season. Drink butter milk, as it improves digestion. Oily food should be taken in less quantity •Eat li

When fibroid co-exists with pregnancy

                        Dr. Samuel Adebayo Uterine fibroid, also known as Leiomyoma, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour of the uterus (womb). Fibroids are the most common benign tumours in females and they occur during the reproductive years. They occur in up to 50 per cent of women. The exact cause of this tumour is unknown; but some factors are associated with increased chance of developing uterine fibroid. A family history is a factor. History of fibroid developing in women of the same family or race plays a role in a woman’s life. African women have between two and three times chances of developing fibroid than white women. Also, African women develop fibroid at a younger age, usually in their 20s and above, unlike white or caucasian women where fibroid may occur in their 30s or 40s. No pregnancy or low pregnancy rate increases the risk, just as early onset of menses may also increase the risk of developing uterine fibroid. Obesity, alcohol consumption, and hypertension may

Aviation Sectors Groans Under Rising Cost of Operations

-
The current scarcity and high cost of aviation fuel, coupled with the weak value of the naira have been identified as the main factors preventing the growth of the aviation sector. While fuel alone gulps half of the operating costs, other challenges like the high cost of providing standard air transport services, increasing demand for customer satisfaction by air travellers and rising cost of operation, are giving the operators hard times, the Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Capt. Muktar Usman, said. Usman, while delivering a paper entitled: ‘The acts of promoting a sustainable air transport economy while maintaining high level of aviation safety standards,’ at the Airport Business Summit and Expo, said that aviation fuel, otherwise called Jet A1, constitutes between 40 and 50 per cent of the airlines’ direct operating costs, which he said was having an untold effect on the performance and profit of domestic airline operators due to the supply cris
