“Keep it Simple, Stay Consistent” – Afolabi Sokeye on Building a Future Through Investing
At GetEquity, we believe every investor has a unique story, strategy, and spark that drives them. This month, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Afolabi Sokeye, a passionate investor with a structured approach to wealth-building.
From building a robust portfolio to setting quarterly financial targets, Afolabi’s investing journey is a masterclass in planning, discipline, and execution. Let’s take a look at what drives his decisions, the lessons he’s learned, and how GetEquity fits into his bigger financial vision.
Why Afolabi Started Investing
Afolabi describes himself as “obsessed with the finance space” and we love that energy! His decision to start investing came from a desire to diversify his assets and gain access to a wider range of investment opportunities.
“I’m obsessed with the finance space and I was looking for more ways to diversify my investments and found GetEquity to be valuable for that use case. The experience has been great so far, there are a lot of options for me to invest in, from commercial papers to debt notes and more.”
His Investment Strategy
With a structured approach to his portfolio, Afolabi doesn’t invest on a whim. He’s clear on what he wants to achieve and makes sure every investment aligns with those goals.
“I have a robust financial portfolio and the targets I set to meet for myself every quarter. So my investments usually have to mirror those targets. I invest across low, medium, and high-risk assets and I’m always looking for a platform where I can invest seamlessly and track my progress over time.”
That’s the kind of intentional investing we love to see.
A Decision He’s Proud Of
In a market like Nigeria, doing your due diligence is key, and Afolabi knows it. One of his proudest moves has been aligning with a trustworthy platform like GetEquity.
“It’s hard to find a consistent investment partner because in Nigeria, you always have to do due diligence to make sure they can’t run away with your money. In GetEquity’s case, it was a good match because they’ve been providing value in the investment space for some time now. As they say in Nigeria, Return of Capital is better than nothing.”
Preach!
His Advice to New Investors
Afolabi keeps it simple and practical when it comes to advice:
“Keep your investment strategy simple and time-bound. Have a particular amount or percentage out of your income that you plan to invest every month. The most important thing when starting is consistency, and then over time, let your investments compound.”
We couldn’t agree more. Compounding is quiet, but it’s powerful.
How GetEquity Fits into His Future
For Afolabi, investing isn’t just a financial decision, it’s a long-term lifestyle choice.
“It has made me more confident in my financial future. Investment gives you freedom in ensuring your future is safe and secure for you and the people you care about. Now when I plan my long-term goals, I also put in mind how my investments align with them.”
We love to see investors building legacies, not just returns.
