    What is the reason for non payment of dividend? These compani e are really taking in store for granted.

    I feel sad that I invested in Sterling Bank Plc, no dividends paid out for how many years now. If the board and the management are not up to the scale, I beg they should sell the bank to GTB/Zenith banks so we can have meaningful value for our money! I sank over a million Naira into the bank and nothing to show forth! So sad indeed.

    Sell the bank to another Bank, so that shareholders can get dividend.
