Office 365 is updated monthly, so no more waiting three years for new significant features. Before now, you buy Office 2007 or Office 2010 or Office 2013 and then wait for the next major version for any significant feature change. You mostly get bug fixes and minor feature updates till that next major version that often takes three years. Now, with Office 365, you get a monthly stream of ...
As much as I love Bournvita (I prefer it to Milo and Ovaltine), I wouldn't buy Cadbury Nigeria's shares. Why? When you buy a company's shares you are betting on two things: that the company is going to grow earnings/profit reasonably (reasonably for me means above 15% average annual growth rate for a Nigerian company except when there is an unusual economic or business situation ...

First, it's just a mere coincidence that Oando is the first in my series on stocks to avoid. I have nothing personal against Oando nor the company managers. All my points are strictly from an objective and investment perspective. And as no one knows the future, you shouldn't take my word like it's God's. Meet Oando What better way to introduce Oando than using their own very words from ...
National Danger Alert: Nigeria Heading For Debt Crisis
I have been getting worried by the aggressive bond sales by the Federal Government in the last one and half year. My initial worry was that it was crowding out private sector loans, making it more difficult and very expensive for companies/businesses to access loans. Banks would rather borrow the government, via its treasury bills and bonds sales, and be contented with its theoretically ...
Mixed news -- I have restarted my online MBA. I still don't know how I will make out the time for the class work and assignments/projects but I think the whole effort and money spent will be worth it in the end.

The painful part is it was just when I thought I had figured it out and had patiently traded with some gain for more than eight months, then in days I lose everything. I managed, though, to come away with one strong learning -- I can't successfully ...
