#LegalTipsWithOlukayode #FundingForPublicCompanies



Dear Client,
Public companies have the huge advantage of being able to raise funds from a variety of options. In fact, many law firms and business entities have practice groups that are solely dedicated to helping them raise funds. These options include loans, bonds, shares, stock and debenture, collective investment schemes.

All these options are highly complicated systems that require a lot of expertise. In fact, the law will forbid that these transactions be carried out without the input of professionals such as lawyers, financial reporters, investment advisers, issuing houses as well as stockbrokers. This is because public companies have a large membership base whose interests must be adequately protected.

A worrisome trend however is for directors of public companies in trying to either cut cost or to play smart employ professionals without much expertise in project finance, and these "professionals" also fail to seek help on complex issues. This has to stop! Do not toy or joke with people's fortunes.
While it may be good to give younger people the opportunity to handle such magnanimous financing, it must always be done with recourse to proper supervision.

Have a productive day!
Cheers,
Olukayode Olugbemi

 _The so called queen of the zanger A woman of misery and deceptive appearance Wags tongue in a swordlike How angelic she be when seeking the honey frm it's comb With her romantic but deceitful display The first sight of her left me in dismay First encounter with her was heartrending Such a sweet poison A devil in disguise wit an angelic face The so called queen can neither be embraced nor avoided.

THE GCE GIRL By: OLUSEGUN AKINSANYA

Every year we welcome into our community several teenagers between 13 and 17 from far and near. They are both male and female. They have the same mission. They have come to write General Certificate Examination (G.C.E). Most of them are penultimate students in secondary schools. These little fellows have been fixed at centres nearby to write their exams and the people that brought them have accommodation as part of the payment agreement. Some of these children are leaving home for the first time. Some of them look like mom's pets. Immediately they hit the town, you see a lot of ambiance and noise, something like a carnival. They make noise in the morning while looking for water for domestic use and in the evening when they are back from their different centres. It's always a new experience for most of them, and they seem to enjoy it: yea, they seem to enjoy being away from home for a whole month, a kind of escape from the eagle eyes of their parents; they seem to enjoy a t...
