You're not the only one...counting down to Friday or maybe Monday next week.

But I'm still a bit confused tho

How can I buy bonds from my stock brokering firm?

IHelp:


The interest rate for the 2years bond is 13.189 per annum.
For 1 year your interest on N20,000 will be (13.189/100)×20,000 = 2,637.8
For 2years interest will be 2,637.8×2 = 5,275.6

Interest is paid every quarter. Which means you will get 5,275.6/8 = 659.45 every 4months

But a quarter is supposed to be every three months, making it four in one year. Please don't argue

hello house..... pls i av this questions is my investment in fgn savings bond free from tax? and is the interest i receive from it free from tax too?

Thanks.
Every 4months was a mistake. (Correction: Every 3months). I have corrected it on the post. All other calculations on the post is correct.

How can I buy bonds from my stock brokering firm?

If you already have an account with a stock brokering firm, fill the Fgn savings bond subscription form and send to them. Make payment for the value you want to purchase.
Some firms use the same account for your stock and bonds while some have different account for bonds.
You should contact your broker for more info.

The information provided by IHelp above is the same as what I would have written.
The link to the form is here:

Ugosample:
I got my eyes on the June rates.

You are well known in travel section for encouraging people to abandon the country for foreign land, one of the people who say there's no hope in Nigeria. If someone told me that you can invest a kobo in Nigeria I would never believe, my brother fear God o chaii

How can I open an account with a broker and which one do you suggest?

Well

I still have portfolio investments in Nigeria i am planning to expand.

The rates are good and the exchange rate has been stable, so why not?

Good day, between mmf and fgn bonds which is better?

Both have it's advantage and disadvantage. It depends on your investment plan.

@IHelp

Do you have any contact at DMO to confirm a purchase of FGNSB June offer?

@IHelp

I do not have any personal contact at DMO. They have some numbers on their website. Though I have not tried reaching them through that channel.
You can as well try registering with cscs. As you can confirm your bond/stock online through them.
When ever I need clarification I contact my broker or Cscs.
I am yet to get notification for the purchase of June Fgn savings bond but I have already confirmed it in my cscs account.

Update: Just received SMS confirmation from DMO

Ok. Thanks. I received my investor account details (dated 14 June) from my stockbroker but the June offer was not listed. I also haven't received the usual SMS confirmation from DMO.

Kolping gave you the right answer. You get the notification after the settlement date. Sometimes it delays for some days.
Also, paying the annual fee to cscs to monitor your stock and bonds is worth it. Unless you are investing very little fund.

Ive subscribed to that CSCS and I can’t find anything like FGN Savings Bond there.
Which kind DMO is this na.
I even contacted my broker and they said …
CSCS/DMO is yet to credit me account with the bond unit.
And they’re hoping it will be credited before the end of this week

You should be able to see previous subscriptions. That of July 2018 is yet to reflect.
When you login to your account, on the menu list click on "My Portfolio".
If you have account with different brokers with the same CHN, it will all be listed there.
Click on the account you used to subcribe and you will be able to view what is in that account.
