One day, my broker called me and told me my rights in a banking stock were worth over ₦100 million.

I honestly had to pause.

I went back to my broker and asked a simple question: “How much have I actually put into this stock over the years for my rights to be worth that much?”

The answer shocked me.

But that moment also reminded me why I invest the way I do.

When everybody is looking in one direction, I’m looking for value. When people didn’t see value in UBA, Zenith, GTCO or Access, I was studying the fundamentals and taking positions.

The market eventually moved. And because I had volume and I had been patient, the returns became significant.

That’s why I keep saying: have a goal, be patient and be disciplined.

Don’t follow the crowd just because everybody is moving in the same direction.

Sometimes, the biggest opportunities are sitting where nobody is looking.

Investing is not always about finding what is popular. Sometimes, it is about having the conviction to see value before the crowd does.

What’s the biggest investment position you’ve ever held?

For a long time, I thought changing careers meant I was changing my source.

Then I began to understand something differently.

As a Christian, I believe God is my source of provision. But the resources through which that provision comes can change.

There was a time when my primary resource was my job as an on-air personality. That was my 9–5. Today, I run a podcast and build businesses around media and content.

The resource changed. The source didn’t.

And I think that distinction matters, especially when you’re investing, building a career or trying something new.

Don’t put your confidence in the resource. Jobs change. Businesses change. Investments change. Markets change. Opportunities come and go.

But if you believe God is your source, then a change in resource doesn’t have to mean a change in your confidence.

Sometimes God doesn’t change the source. He changes the channel through which the provision comes.

That’s how I see my journey.

What’s one resource in your life that has changed completely, while the source of your confidence has remained the same?

What is a 27-year-old man doing in a mutual fund company because he wants to “preserve his wealth”?

Preserve what wealth? You’re 27!

When you’re young, I believe the conversation should be less about preserving what you have and more about building what you’ll eventually need.

Your 30s, 40s and 50s are your opportunity to take calculated risks, invest for the long term and build assets.

Because when you get older, your priorities naturally change.

You move from aggressive wealth creation to protecting what you’ve built and generating income from it.

That’s when mutual funds, bonds and other fixed-income investments can become more important.

But when you’re young?

Take the long view.

You don’t need millions to start investing in the stock market either. You can start with ₦5,000 or ₦10,000. Even the example discussed in this video shows how little it can take to begin.

You may not be able to buy land with ₦5,250.

But you can start a journey towards owning part of a business.

The goal is simple:

When you’re young, work for money.

When you’re older, let your money work for you.

Start early. Think long term. Build first. Preserve later.

What do you think: should young people be more aggressive with their investments?

I sold Seplat at about ₦800.

Today, it’s around ₦14,000.

At the time, I had about 10,000 units.

Looking back, my biggest mistake as a young investor wasn’t buying Seplat. It was selling too early and not having the patience to stay invested.

One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned is this:

The stock market takes money from the impatient and gives it to the patient.

But there’s another lesson I’ve learned.

The stock market is also like a bus stop.

When one bus leaves, it doesn’t mean there won’t be another one.

So if you missed one opportunity, don’t spend your life staring at the bus that has already left.

Another bus will come.

The question is: will you be ready when it does?

Everybody wants to buy when the market is already excited.

But is that really what a financial advisor should be doing?

According to this investor, the real skill is identifying value when the crowd is still looking elsewhere.

He tells the story of a client who bought Aradel around ₦520 when many people weren’t paying attention. Today, the stock is around ₦1,570.

The lesson isn’t simply “buy Aradel.”

It’s this: sometimes the biggest opportunities are found before the crowd arrives.

And when everybody finally starts buying?

“You don clear.”

Would you rather buy when the market is excited, or when the opportunity is still being overlooked?

Will electric cars really replace oil?

That was the question I put to Mukhtar Mohammed, especially when we’re talking about the next 10 years in Africa.

His answer took the conversation somewhere interesting: maybe the future isn’t simply “oil vs electric.”

Oil is still deeply embedded in the global economy, while electric vehicles and clean energy are changing how we think about transportation and energy.

And Nigeria is sitting right in the middle of that transition, with new oil discoveries, a major new refinery, and growing conversations around clean energy.

So the bigger question may be: are we moving away from oil, or are we simply moving from dirty energy to cleaner energy?

And what role will Dangote play in that transition?

Watch the full conversation.

“If I had ₦1 million today, what would I do?”

His answer was simple: buy Access Bank, Aradel, Zenith and a little Dangote… then go to sleep.

But the interesting part wasn’t really the stocks.

It was the mindset behind the answer.

For him, investing is a journey. If he cannot buy a business, walk away for years and still be comfortable with what he owns when he comes back, then he probably wouldn’t invest in it.

He also made an important distinction: the stock market has speculators, traders and investors. You have to decide which one you want to be.

Investment is not a sprint. It’s a marathon.

Would you be able to leave ₦1 million invested and genuinely go to sleep?
