As audited accounts start to trickle in, companies will propose dividend payments to their shareholders as recommended by their respective boards of directors. It is also important to track these announcements to know who is eligible to collect the dividend, when it will be approved and when it will be paid. Dividend payment also affects share prices.

If you haven’t received your dividend. Two things are involved. Either you have not given a mandate for your dividend to be paid into your bank account or you do not have a CSCS Account yet. Locate a Broker so you could be put through.

Please Nairametrics, when are we expecting dividend payment from Standard Alliance Insurance plc. I thought they said they used 2018 for shares reconstruction and will definitely pay dividend by 2019.

Pls when is Unity and Union Bank Plc declare dividend?
We will let you know once they declare a dividend.
Pls ONOME, when is Lafarge gonna declare dividend? Reply…
Hi, unfortunately, Onome doesn’t work at Lafarge Africa or have such information kindly wait till the company declare a dividend. Once they do we at Nairametrics (including Onome) will be quick to inform you. Thank you.
Good evening Alfred. Pls why has Courtiville Business Solutions Plc not declared dividend 4 some years now, when and where is their AGM date.
A company will only pay dividend when they make money and as for their AGM, once they come out with the information will let you know with an article.
Good evening Alfred. How many times in a year can a company declare dividend?
Hi there. Alfred isn’t here right now…
Note that most Nigerian companies typically pay dividends once every year. Some also do pay what they like to call “bonus dividend”.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, companies can pay dividends to shareholders every quarter. What this means is that you could get paid four times in a year. But then again, this seldom happens in Nigeria.
Have a good night.
In addition to Emmanuel said, some companies in Nigeria pay an interim dividend and a final dividend. As for bonus, it is at the company’s discretion.
Any information on universal insurance company pls.
May i know the current registrar and the functioning email address?

Good morning, please where is the location for Aiico insurance AGM?
Greatings all! I have NSE stock portfolios online with Nigerian Stockbrokers but dispite submitting the E-DIVIDEN MANDATE forms (Zenith, GTB, Access Bank) . No payment has been made, same with Access-Diamond Banks merger cash consideration. Please does anyone have this experience or solution? Kindly hint. Thanks
Thank you so much!
Hi Felix. Where did you submit your e-dividend mandate form? If it’s @ d bank (ZENITH where I did mine), they scanned the e – dividend mandate forms filled immediately to the registrars & within one week, I got SMS from them. Some registrars even called me to clerify certain things. I suggest you either go do it again @ d your bank or registrar’s offices & make sure all your data are correct. I promise you, you’ll be credited & even with all your outstanding dividend.
Thank you so much for.
Again Felix, Make sure you attach your passport photo..
Am very grateful and I’ll do as you say. Thanks.
It’s commendable that Nairametrics directly responds to comments. Keep it up
We make it a priority to do so. Thanks for trust us.
Also please any ideas about the Access-Diamond Merger cash consideration.? The Registrar ( United Securities) said that they have sent the account on the e-mandate details to NIBSS platform for confirmation and that was over a month ago. Up till now, nothing. Wondering if anyone here has received the cash consideration or have similar experience. Please kindly relate. Thank you.
Hi Mr Felix. Just try do your e – mandate first as I’ve told u. If NIBSS confirms you, UNITED SECURITIES will credit your account for DIAMOND BANK consideration from ACCESS BANK. I still advice you, go to the registrars office if you have time, do your e – mandate & also tell them about the merger cash consideration. If your work does not give u time, or u’re not in LAG, do it @ d bank, call the registrars office, they ‘ll still attend to you OK. Your money is intact. So don’t panic alright..
Thanks for the very helpful tips. Be blessed.
Good evening Alfred and Emmanuel. Pls, has COURTIVILLE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS declared or about to declare dividend? I noticed their shares are going up.

Ola Ilesanmi
I have a number of shares of NACHO and Legacy Funds but Cornerstone Registrars refused to remit my dividends to my bank account .
I am aware of formalising e-dividend formalities which I have done as at when it commenced .
It is equally important to note that same registrar pays my dividends in FCMB , LAFRAGE WAPCO , as well as ancient Skye bank .
It is absolutely worrisome that the registrars in question don’t pick calls or reply mails put across their portals . They the Registrars in question have been behaving as such when they they were called City Securities , I am a clients to First Registrars , United Securities , Veritas Registrars , African Registrars , GTL Registrars ,Meristem Registrars etcatera who give normal and regular responses as requested .
Nairametrics , you are wonderful and helpful
Hi Ola, sorry for the experience you have had with your registrar. I will advise you to visit their office and get things sorted out.
I made a mistake of name in my last two posts .
I actually mean CARDINAL STONE REGISTRARS formally called City Securities not Corner Stone
Please .
Thanks to Nairameyrics
Kindly help me to ask Wema Bank why the dividends of investors are not PSID up till noe after a decade and half year of insolvent
Ola Ilesanmi
Alfred Akuki
Thanks may God bless you mightily .
Have I paid for your prompt reply ? No !
That’s the best modern business methodology to address issues .
I put this across in order to share my experience with Cardinal Stone Registrars .
My issues predated era of mandate e-dividend . If not for the interest I have for a few companies I have with cardinal stone registrars , I got things sorted out with cardinal stone registrars after the Securities and Exchange Commission compelled them to do the needful .
They are recalcitrant and very careless with investors commitment .
I will not visit them .
I will drag them to the Securities and Exchange Commission or Investment Tribunal and I will win them with apology from them .
I certainly owe Naira metrics Ltd a lot of indebtedness of commendable appreciations . Thanks a great deal
Ola
Hi Ola, it gives us great joy that we were able to render assistance to you.
Pls, if I want to know the what of my shaers, how can I go by it? and in case I want to sell it,how do I do it?

You can call us on 0851040390
GT Bank and Zenith Bank just declared an interim dividend this august and it has not been included in your compilation.Thank you for the good work you have done.
I don’t actually know what investors will return as gains as from next January if an investor pays
1.statutory Charges on equities subscribed @ 3.9% per transaction
2. VAT on investment 5% per transaction
3. VAT ( the percentage yet to be declared by IFRS ) on online transactions within or outside the country . One should understand that dividends are now transmitted electronically .per dividend
4 . You are going to pay stamp duty of #56.5 per lodgement
5. A minimum charge of #50 for ATM maintenance .monthly .
A HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE
Company : Timber PLC
Cost per unit : #4
Buying 1000 units is equal to #4000
TRANSACTION
Brokerage charge at 3.9%= #156
VAT on investment at 5% = #200
VAT on dividends say at 5%#200
Stamp duty charge at #56.5
ATM monthly service at #50
TOTAL. #656.5
DIVIDEND DECLARED THE COMPANY
.45kobo per share translating to #(.45×1000units) ÷ 100 = #450
Therefore an investor’s is equal to -#246.5 !
Even if you have your name in Forbes as a captain of industries , the above is still outside infrastructural maintenance , tariffs , EPA , staff salary etcetera that is if the above example is to be in multiple of millions , billions , trillions say for a multi national company .
DO WE REALLY HAVE ECONOMIC THINKERS / PUNTERS IN NIGERIA ?
This analysis is wrong and can be misleading.
Brokerage charge is 1.35% of total value, while VAT is not computed on total value but on the brokerage charges.
Using your illustration for Timber PLC, the transaction would look like this:
Brokerage charges (1.35%) = #54
VAT on brokerage (7.5% on Charges) = #4.05
Stamp duty (0.075%) = #3
Sec Fees (0.3%) = #12
Total = #77.35
ATM monthly service is not an NSE charge
With a dividend of #450 and VAT of 10% being deducted = #405
Hence, you have #327.65 profit from this #4000 investment.
Your last comment isn’t necessary at all.
All the best!
Well, I may not be good in maths but I know when I’m making money and certainly know my numbers.. revenue, gross profit and net profit.
I have invested about N40 million naira in our stock market since year 2001… Mainly in the banking sector. As of today, that money is remaining about 17 million naira including all the dividends received.
Nigeria stock market is rigged and a scam to say the least.
Likewise, the $60,000 I invested in mutual funds in USA in year 2001, today is worth almost $550,000 ..
Anybody who have money for investment should invest in developed economies.
Wow. This really got to him. So sorry for your lose Mr. Okaonye. I just started my career in the financial sector with an 100k salary and i am just contemplating on the environment to invent and saw your timely comment, i will make further research and i hope I don’t make a wrong investment. Thank you once again for the comment. I wish you the best.

Dear Mr. Ola Ilesanmi;
I LIKE YOUR ANALYSIS OF CHARGES ON STOCK TRANSACTIONS ABOVE, PERHAPS IT CAN BE PRESENTED IN FORM OF COMPLAINT AND FORWARDED
TO SEC FOR CONSIDERATION AND NECESSARY ACTION.
Vitafoam is missing in the list
I am no longer happy with Oando the way they are treating their shareholders, for some years now they have not paid dividend despite this they built gigantic headquarters in Victorian Island and the CEO is one of the highest paid executive in Nigeria today. The SEC should look into this matter, otherwise we the shareholder will take appropriate action o
Oando had not paid dividend for some years now, shareholder seemed to be short changed On record oando within these periods built a giangatic head office in Victoria Island, on record the CEO is one of the highest paid in the in Nigeria today if is no making return why engaged in these spendings.I suggest the SEC should investigate this matter otherwise we the shareholders will take it up through legal processes.
Oando , has refused to pay dividends for the past five years. I see them investing and building up new branches. They should let us know..the money I invested as a shareholder..is still mine
Nairametrics previously quoted 0.25k as Access Bank plc 2019 proposed dividend, it was later changed to 0.40k after the company officially released their FY report.
Nairametrics, where was the initial “misleading” quote gotten.
@Ademola Akinsola, Access Bank declared 25k as interim dividend while 40k for final dividend for FY2019
GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE,

I paid N5,000.00 to buy Alstates Trust Bank shares. The bank folded up and my money was not refunded. What do I do? DAAR communication did an IPO many years ago.I bought the shares. Up till now no dividends. Absolutely disgusting.
No good things work in Nigeria, I bought UBA shares many years back from secondary market through Marriot Securities & Broker Ltd, I perfected everything, I mean, I did all documentation and even registered my CSCS Account through the company, now, when it is time for me to receive my dividend, Prudential, the company in charge of UBA now told me that they don’t have my signature, so, I have to get a form and sign it in my bank which I did and return it to them with #1,500 which I said I can’t afford. Please, is there any means to solve this issue? It’s because am thinking of notifying Nigeria Stock Exchange and other regulatory bodies. Emmanuel Olusegun Akerele.
Hello Mr. Akerele
The stock market actually works in Nigeria irrespective of some challenges which can actually be resolved. Signature confirmation is necessary if your signature becomes irregular or was not sent to the registrar along with other details at the time you bought the shares. Don’t forget you bought through your broker (secondary market) and you had no account with Africaprudential registrars previously so they need to identify you properly. There are some charges for some registrar services. So I don’t think there is need to report the registrar to anyone. Just confirm your signature with your bank and pay the prescribed fees to get the dividend and subsequent ones in the future.
Thank you.
Emmanuel Olusegun Akerele, currently you don’t need since your hold to panic your stocks are intact,your broke Marriot Securities would have guided u properly, i believe the registrar is claims irregular signature which you have to regularize it with your bank, you can get paid or you simply apply for change in signature but which would demand for the old one that you aren’t sure of. Simply get your signature regularized with you bank.

I suggest you start the dividends to be paid in 2021 on a fresh page, rather than mixing 2021 with that of 2020.
the 2021 dividend for neimeth stated as N6.5K is wrong. it is N0.065K since the dividend is only 6.5kobo
I suggest you start the dividends to be paid in 2021 on a fresh page, rather than mixing 2021 with that of 2020.
