So after all this noise about dividend investors and access. You have become jijo member of 10%.
I hide my face

mikeapollo:
Wow!
After boasting to high heavens and bragging about how super Access is and condemning other stocks, you eventually sold Access for less than 10% gain (after fees) because of non-payment of dividend?
Well, dividend is your focus, and you have the right to do whatever with your investments
Thank you for even being sincere and informing us you have sold

nosa2:
Unless you need the money for other things, you might come to regret this sale

Agbalowomeri:
Purchasing power is 10x less than it was about 15 years ago. As a salary earner those days, 350k is the equivalent of over 3.5m today. I don't think any civil servants earn 3.5m today. If salaries then didn't destroy the economy with that purchasing power why should it now?

EDUECO's dividend was invested in one of the London properties.

PETERiCHY:
So because of the ANTICIPATED bad results and zero dividend from ACCESS BANK. You have suddenly become a PROFESSIONAL TRADER.

What happened to the long-term mantra you have being preaching all this while

BARGAIN HUNTERS TAKE NOTE!

jonnysessy:
Investors don save UBA today. If you have UBA to sell it off, bargain investors are lurking around. I only sold off 10%. I am a long term investor.

OsunOriginal:
That's another ugly face of this government's policy of always wanting to take from the people. Fuel price up, energy price up, tax up, and now the CBN is blocking the dividends that should go to the people for their investment. They want to say they don't know the market would react to this? Trump syndrome... "I didn't know Iran would retaliate..." blah blah blah

Recommendation for the Executive(Presidency) Considerations

I think the Presidency needs to step in, not to break the CBN, but to broker a sensible timeline.

The stock market has been one of the few positive stories of this administration. By asking UBA not to pay dividends, the CBN has triggered a contagious sell‑off across banking stocks. If they do the same to AccessCorp and FBNHoldings, the drop will be massive – and that damages confidence far beyond the banking sector.

We are not saying the CBN should stop regulating. Prudential rules are necessary. But regulation must consider the real‑world impact on the economy and on millions of shareholders.

The current one‑year forced provisioning for legacy FX loans is unnecessarily brutal. Instead of one year, why not use two years to write off those loans? That way:

1. Banks can still pay partial dividends (e.g., 40% of prior year) if they meet quarterly provisioning targets.

2. The CBN still gets a clean banking system by mid‑2026 – just not overnight.

3. The stock market avoids a crash, and the administration keeps its visible success story.

What I am not asking for is a public fight or a crude “calling the CBN to order”. That would harm regulatory independence and scare off foreign investors. Instead, the Presidency should quietly ask the CBN to issue a revised circular – with forward‑looking, clear rules – that allows a 2‑year transition and tiered dividends.

That is the win‑win: the CBN cleans up the books, banks survive, shareholders are not wiped out, and the market rally stays alive.

Raider76:
Blame the CBN. Why should they rubbish a big bank like the UBA? They should have allowed at least N1.00 dividend out of N9 EPS.

yMcy56:
Forget this 200Mn offers you're looking at....
It's there because no one is presently buying, if someone should come and pack like 30/50M units now, you'll see how those offers will disappear.....
People will start cancelling their offers...

Tony is watching, his boys, MM and bargainers are watching.......
They already knew this will happen because of the result and non payment of Div...

Buy above those prices are your peril....

Agbalowomeri:
Are you even sure that it's not the cowboys that connived with CBN? Because after provisioning who go harrase dem for loan repayment again

ppogba:
In other words, the discerning with shares in the big elephant bank should rather shift their hope, attention and gaze elsewhere. The non performing loans in their books is a behemothic Goliath. He that has ears, let him hear.
