Nigeria’s Stock Market Is on Fire

[OmoAlaji]

The Nigerian stock market is sending a loud message in 2026: investors are back. The NGX has added about N29.7 trillion year-to-date, with market capitalization climbing from N99.376 trillion at the end of 2025 to N129.126 trillion by March 18, 2026. The All-Share Index has also pushed past the 200,000-point level, showing just how strong the rally has become.

What is driving this? Better corporate earnings, improving inflation numbers, FX stability, and a stronger appetite for equities over low-yield fixed income instruments. For forum readers, the big question is simple: is this the start of a longer bull run, or are we watching a market getting ahead of itself?

Big move, almost ₦30 trillion added shows investors are back.
The rally is driven by real factors: better earnings, stable FX, and money moving into stocks.
But question is sustainability. It can still go higher, but corrections will happen.
Best move now: stay in, but be selective—don’t chase hype.
