Coleman’s ₦30 billion commercial paper at 19%: smart investment or hidden risk?

Coleman just opened a ₦30 billion Commercial Paper.
Minimum entry is ₦5 million.
Returns close to 19%.

So, should you pay attention?
Let’s break it down together.

Coleman is not new.

Founded in 1975, built over 50 years. From cables to powering energy, real estate, and digital infrastructure, this is a business that has grown with Nigeria.

Look at the numbers closely.

Revenue grew from ₦27bn to ₦137bn (2021–2024)
Assets now over ₦200bn
Profits strong and consistent with visible evidence, not potential.

Now see what they’re building.
Africa’s largest fibre optic factory.
9 million km yearly capacity.
Designed to meet 50% of Africa’s demand.

Tall about long-term positioning.

They didn’t stop there.
They also built their own copper & aluminium smelting plant.
Meaning they control supply.
So when costs rise, they are not easily shaken.

They already secured a $65 million yearly contract (NLNG), and they are training 5,000 Nigerians.

This is how serious companies grow with vision and direction.

Now let’s talk about this investment itself.

  • Tenor: 254 days (~8 months)
  • Yield: ~19.25%
  • Minimum: ₦5 million

It’s short-term lending to a strong business.

So what are you really doing here?

You are not “buying shares”.
You are lending money to a company, and earning a fixed return.

If you have ₦5 million+, this is worth consideration.

If you don’t, understand where Nigeria is heading next: energy, data, infrastructure. You can still position by learning, working, or investing gradually.

How to invest (Step-by-step)

  1. Contact brokers (CardinalStone, Meristem, ARM, Stanbic IBTC).
  2. Request Coleman Series 7 CP details.
  3. Review yield, tenor, risks.
  4. Fund from ₦5m minimum.
  5. Confirm allotment before April 17.

Remember, we don’t grow by learning alone. We grow by doing.
