It definitely works differently from the usual bank process of fixing a deposit. Published 24 mins ago on June 5, 2020By NM Partners Getting good returns on idle cash is not always as easy as it sounds. Most would-be investors often have to grapple with the fact that they tie their money down for a period but do not get impressive returns. Even where financial institutions charge lenders high-interest rates, what the saver gets at the end of the day is far from it. But what if there was a solution? A platform, that offers you the opportunity to choose businesses to invest your funds and also choose when to cash out returns? Awesome, right? That is what Kiakia peer-to-peer lending investment does. How it works The Kiakia peer-to-peer app is a platform designed to allow users to earn higher returns on their idle funds. It definitely works differently from the usual bank process of fixing a deposit. With Kiakia’s app, ordinary individuals over the age of 18 years who have legitimate income sources, can provide money to fund secured MSME loans booked via the KiaKia loan platform. This, of course, allows them to earn returns monthly, quarterly, bi-annually or even annually while providing businesses with low-interest capital that can help them grow. What more? Lenders/investor get to choose the industry or sector they want their funds to be applied to. There’s also the satisfaction of knowing that your little funds might be making all the difference for some business out there. The business of choice can be located in any part of the country, and are carefully selected, verified and pre-approved by the Kiakia team. The KiaKia story Launched in 2016, the aim of the KiaKia peer-to-peer digital lending app was to give people better returns on their money and with less stress. Initially, the lending/investment packages were fixed to accommodate lenders who had a million naira and above, but when users cried out that it was discriminatory, Kiakia reduced the limit to provide an all-inclusive service that accommodated everyone above 18 years with a legitimate source of income. With as little as N50,000 now, a lender can be a part of those who contribute funds for the qualified borrower and still earn returns of the money. Packages are between N50, 000 and N10, 000,000 and can be done in multiples. Talk about a flexible plan that fit income! The app allows you to easily fund a loan using a valid debit card in your name, or even via bank transfer. Multiple funding is also allowed so that a lender can fund as many loans as his income can afford. There is however an upper cap, stipulating a maximum single loan amount of N10, 000,000 and for a maximum tenure of 18 months. The lender also gets to choose his investment structure, and this will determine how he is to be paid returns – Quarterly, Bi-annually or Annually. Within 7 days of the maturation of the loan tenure, the lender needs not to make any request to withdraw the funds as it will be automatically deposited into the account number provided. The Halal option There is also the Halal feature which allows the Muslim faithful to participate in permissible earnings. Kiakia’s Halal investment option is structured in line with the Islamic principles governing non-interest funding. So when KiaKia gives funds to businesses under this arrangement, it is for the purpose of profit-sharing not payment of interests. Kiakia’s Super Advanced Dashboard provides a seamless experience with a detailed and beautiful dashboard that enables lenders to monitor fund performance and progress. Safeguarding of investment Ever had to worry about a borrower paying back the loan? Not with Kiakia! Kiakia takes the security of lenders funds very seriously, and only invest in loans and businesses that will benefit the lender/investors. There is the safety fund feature, which basically provides a buffer for lenders. At KiaKia, part of the interest/profit shared goes to you, the investor/lender, while another part goes directly into the safety fund. As the repayments and portfolio grow, so does the safety fund, and this becomes the buffer to protect all investments. If a borrower misses any payment, the investor/lender is reimbursed from the safety fund. Highly impressive! Rates Interest rates on the Kiakia app ranges from as low as 12% and as high as 40%, and spans 6 to 18 months tenure. For the interest/profit payout options – 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 18 months, payments are credited automatically. Recognitions In 2019, KiaKia clinched the InFINCA (Inclusive Finance Conference and Awards, 2019 award for Best Peer-To-Peer Platform in Nigeria – a testament to its pioneering effort and sustained innovation. The company also takes pride in the fact that in over 3 years of operations, no Individual or corporate body has lost money committed in trust to investments or lending. Now, isn’t this is a record to be proud of?

By Olasunkanmi Akoni Lagos State Government has postponed entrance exams into secondary schools indefinitely. Lagos, through its State Examinations Board, LSEB, postponed, indefinitely, 2020 Basic Education Certificate Examination, BECE, into its Junior Secondary Schools in the state due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At June 12, Yoruba group seeks self-government for race By Gbenga Akinfenwa (Lagos), Oluwaseun Akingboye (Akure) and Rotimi Agboluaje (Ibadan) 12 June 2020 | 3:34 am How FG is promoting legal rights of Nigerians - Buhari 1 hour ago PM Johnson says UK anti-racism protests 'hijacked by extremists' 1 hour ago Alleged Chinese spy arrested at LA airport for visa fraud 1 hour ago • Nothing to celebrate 27 years after, says Onitiri • Falana urges patriots to intensify struggle for genuine democracy A Yoruba group, the Oodua Action Movement (OAM), has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to give the Yoruba people self-government by reverting to regional government. The group, which is an association of Yoruba indigenes in Diaspora, also asked all Yoruba people to use the June 12 occasion for sober reflection and unity among themselves. The Co-ordinator, Demola Edward, in a statement in Akure yesterday, clamoured for autonomous nation to bring back progress and development. According to him, it is imperative that all Yoruba people globally should come together to actualise an autonomous nation so as not to remain perpetual slaves in their fatherland. In a related vein, a political activist/social critic, Chief Adesunbo Onitiri, has called for sober reflection and rebirth by political players, leaders and appointees across the country. Onitiri, who spoke yesterday in Lagos, expressed sadness that the politicians had forgotten so soon the sacrifice and message of June 12, which the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola struggled and died for, adding that currently, there is no democratic government in Nigeria. Also, a human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, said immortalising Abiola was not enough, saying that the last 21 years in the nation’s return to democratic rule have been full of sorrow and tears. Falana, who spoke during a live radio programme in Ibadan, urged true patriots in the country to intensify the struggle for genuine democracy. He said: “One of the policies carried out by the Buhari administration is the recognition of June as a public holiday and replacement of Democracy Day which was originally May 29. Those who set May 29 as a Democracy Day did so out of spite. “For eight years, Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration refused to recognise the supreme sacrifice paid by Abiola in the restoration of democracy in Nigeria. It was very good on the part of this administration to have recognised that day. “But it is not enough to immortalise MKO. It is not enough to recognise June 12 as a Democracy Day. The last 21 years have been civil rule of disenchantment and frustration on the part of the majority of Nigerians.
