ABUJA – Nigerian women have been called upon to avoid impulsive buying and tread carefully while seeking to invest their monies, urging them to shun Ponzi schemes promising high returns.
Mrs Titilola Oladejo, a financial and investment expert, made the call at a webinar on Skills and Tools on Practical Financial Advice organised by Mothers United and Mobilised (MUM) on Saturday.
She said it was worrisome that women still spent huge amount of their monies and capital on non-essential expenses, calling for an adherence to the 30-day rule of savings.
According to her, the rule tells an individual to take the money meant to be spent on an impulse buy and save it in a savings account instead for 30 days.

LAGOS, May 5 (Xinhua) Nigeria, Africa s most populous nation, ran the risk of a third wave of COVID-19 infections as its vaccine coverage has well fallen behind the annual target, a local health official has warned.
In the state of Lagos, Nigeria s economic hub and COVID-19 epicenter, about 260,000 people have received the jabs, representing just 1 percent of the state population, said Akin Abayomi, health commissioner of Largos state, on Tuesday.
Nigeria kicked off mass vaccination with its first batch of 3.94 million AstraZeneca shots via COVAX program on March 5. By Tuesday, only about 1.2 million doses have been administered, according to the National Primary Health Care Development Agency.
