While trust and cultural factors could be contributing factors,I think poverty is the chief culprit here.
A handful of people who can afford to pay for them don't see a need to do so. An average Nigerian will prefer to cover his car with the blood of jesus than insure it
Is there a universe where Nigerians willingly buy insurance to protect themselves against life's risks?
Health insurance seems to be the exception. Most other policies are driven by legal or contractual requirements.
Is it a cultural problem, a trust problem, or are we simply too poor to afford insurance?

For over a decade, Nigerians treated the local stock market like a high-risk casino.
The ghost of the 2008 crash lingered for a generation, leaving behind a deep-seated trauma that made people believe the only safe place for cash was in a low-yield savings account, or packed into foreign assets.
The recent boom we are seeing in investor education on the Nigerian Exchange is changing that narrative completely.
When people actually understand what they are buying, the entire investment culture shifts from emotional speculation to cold, calculated positioning.
The rise of institutional and creator-led financial literacy means everyday retail investors are finally learning how to read balance sheets, evaluate dividend yields, and identify companies with real pricing power that can outrun economic shocks.
This education creates a vital macroeconomic defensive shield.
Historically, our local market was dangerously dependent on foreign portfolio investors.
Any moment there's a global panic or a currency shift, foreign funds would pull out en masse, crashing the market and leaving local retail investors holding the bag.
An educated, resilient local retail base changes that dynamic.
When domestic investors understand long-term value, they do not panic-sell during temporary market corrections.
They buy the dip.
They provide the stable, internal liquidity needed to anchor the financial ecosystem.
A literate investing public also forces corporate governance to sit up.
When shareholders know how to ask hard questions at annual general meetings rather than just clapping for crumbs, companies are forced to deliver real value.
We have spent years looking outward for wealth creation.
But the true transformation of our economy happens when local capital stays local, funding local production, and enriching the citizens who took the time to understand the machine.
Today’s investor literacy is the exact tool that will turn the stock market from a playground for the elite into a wealth-generating engine for the self-made.
Congratulations to us all 🤍

Market grows stronger when investors understand what they own and how to build wealth patiently. We keep trying preaching financial literacy like the gospel .

Financial literacy is useless without action unless your goal is purely academic and research

Enugu SME center and @chilo_aco just provided @Risevest Academy with this space to expand our software training program to Enugu.
We’ll run physical trainings from here in addition to the virtual program that will continue to run online. The goal is to produce world class developers from across the country and have a space in case people need hands on training.
This means we now have physical locations in Lagos, Port Harcourt and now Enugu.
We will train a pipeline of world class developers across the country over the next few years, God willing. ❤️🚀

Really need to start this podcast to share with people the realities of what it means to be ambitious.
This restlessness being talked about is not just physical but mental , there’s literally no peace or rest for you , trying to relax or stay in one spot for too long can get you depressed , you try to channel that restlessness into anything that is not productive and you can get addicted to vices , substances and all.
The only solution is to keep moving forwards, keep building , keep creating.
To the outside world it would seem you are doing this out of passion alone but the reality is that, it’s the only way for you to stay sane , it’s the only way you can be normal.
That saying that most ambitious and hyper successful people are almost borderline insane is very true , their work is just what makes them normal.
Kanye west, Elon musk , Nikola Tesla , and all other greats who have ever lived have these traits.
