Founder, Publisher & Lead Finance Writer at KiboRise
I’m Chimezie Victor, also known online as Realwinner. I run KiboRise, a Nigerian personal finance and investing education site that helps everyday investors understand money, financial markets and long-term wealth building. I have invested directly in the Nigerian capital market since 2020.
Experience at a Glance
My Investing Journey
I lost a significant amount of money to a get-rich-quick scheme. That loss made me determined to understand how legitimate financial markets work, how risk is managed and how wealth is built over time. I began investing directly in the Nigerian capital market in 2020, and that hands-on experience shaped how I research it.
It also defines how I write: understand an asset before committing your money, instead of following market hype, unverified promises or speculative tips.
What I Write About
- Nigerian equities and dividend investing
- Money market funds, equity mutual funds and ETFs
- Treasury Bills (NTBs) and secondary market auctions
- FGN Savings Bonds, Sukuk, corporate bonds and other fixed-income securities
- Real estate investing
- Licensed trading platforms and investment apps
- Personal finance frameworks and long-term asset allocation
I also build free calculators that model compound growth, dividend yield, Treasury Bill returns, net worth milestones and inflation effects.
How I Research and Create Content
I cross-check analysis, yield calculations and market breakdowns against primary regulatory and market sources:
- Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Nigeria
- Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX)
- Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
- Debt Management Office (DMO)
I keep regulatory facts separate from my opinions, hypothetical examples and strategy models, and I date the figures I use because rates and prices change. When I cover platforms and apps, I stick to those licensed to operate in Nigeria, and I disclose any commercial relationship on the page.
