I have started the process but I just noticed that Firstbank e mandate form is on pdf. They also require that a passport photo be attached with customers detail written behind it.

There seem to be no option of completing the form, scanning and emailing it especially for those who are not in Nigeria.
Stumbled on this thread and feel like contributing on the little I know.

To your question:
There's always a way of completing the form.
- Print the form
- Fill it
- Attach passport in the passport column
- Scan filled form
- Send to info@firstregistrarsnigeria.com
- Be doing follow up

If the dividends expire what happens to the shares? Do they expire too?
No. Shares don't expire.
Contact appropriate Registrar for the shares you have.

ok thank you the dividend was littered in the house with all these dubious stockbrokers what do I do!?
If you have the share certificates, go and open an account with an active broker BUT you have to explain your ordeal to them so they can handle it appropriately for you.

They'll open another account for you and use your existing CHN instead of opening new one for you.
Then they'll proceed to dematerializing the certificates for you.
You have to persevere cos it will involve some forth and back but just endure till it's sorted for you.
May cost you some change too.

Please. Someone help. I just search for my late dad's name and I found his name with African prudential registrars. I have downloaded the forms. Please what is next?

Remember that he is dead, how do I get his without fail? BluntCrazeMan please help
@emmasoft may be of help here.

Search for the moniker and direct the question to him.

I completed my forms and submitted to my bank (FCMB) before the 28/02/18 SEC e-dividend deadline; but have not received any thing since then.
Have subsequently made enquiries at the bank but they seem to not know anything about the matter and quite nonchalantly redirected me to go to my registrars instead (which I've not done yet).
Surprisingly; after entering my name in the SEC search platform only two out of my shares emerged - in contrast to all four when I last logged into the said platform back in 2018; I am now concerned whether those shares are still intact or lost to fraud.

What should I do?

This is highly informative. I have just downloaded the e dividend form from my registrer EDC formerly Oceanic registrers. However I have few questions please, I have not received any dividend on my share since 2009, 1.I bought Dangote flour mill shares, are they going to credit my account iwith my unpaid dividend since 2009?
2. What is the current value of the dividend paid since 2019?
3. Can my dividend be paid to other bank apart from ECO bank which seems to be the parent bank of EDC?
1. Dangflour has been acquired by Olams and delisted on NSE.
Download and fill their Registrar's E-dividend form and send to them via mail.
They will calculate whatever is due to you up till when it was purchased.
2. Dangflour registrar has the answer.
3. Yes. Your dividend can be paid to other bank. Only ensure that the name tallies with the name used in purchasing the shares.

I saw my Name ooooo
But seems DangoteFLOUR don pack up...not listed on the stock market again
Dangflour was bought over by another firm and all shareholders paid off.
Download, fill and send your E-DIVIDEND form to EDC Registrar.
Once your form is accepted and mandated, they will calculate what's due to you and credit your bank account with it.

Follow up is important.

Pls note the difference.
It's not shares but DIVIDENDS.

After 12yrs, unclaimed dividends will be forfeited but your shares remains, you can reclaim your shares in as much as you have evidence of purchases.
You can however give it a trial, who knows....

If at all you don't have, you can contact CSCS or your broker ......but you need to first search for your name on SEC portal with below link.

It doesn't concern Olam or Dangote.

You have to contact Dangflour Registrar, EDC Registrars by filling their E-dividend form, scan and send to their e-mail address:

@op is this also applicable to Public offers,
I remember I bought DAAR Communication public offer back in 2007/2008 both mine and my Mum.
i also bought Skye bank share back then. i don't have the certificate of this shares as at now. due to relocation up and down
Yes. It's applicable to Public offers as well.

However, both stocks mentioned here had/have issues.
Though DAARCOMS is still listed, you can still retrieve your shares BUT no dividend payment from the coy.
As for Skye Bank, it's been delisted on NSE. That's one bad Investment you might have made.

Please, would one require to go to the bank to sign and stamp before scanning and sending the e-dividend mandate form to your registrar involved?
No. Not necessary EXCEPT a particular Registrar specifically demands for that......then you have to take your form to the bank for endorsement.....BUT quite a lot won't request for this again.

Thanks for the above post... I can't find my names. Though, my share certificates are still with me. It's over 16 yrs now. What should I do next 2claim my shares.
Do you have a broker before?
Is the broker still in business?

If YES, contact your broker for dematerialization of your certificates.

If NO, you have to open account with an active stock broker, fund it and take the certificates to them to convert for you.

After dematerialization, you can then sell or hold the stock.

I received the alert 9am the next day that I've been debited. But the money in question wasn't transferred to my UBA account rather I got a message that says "your account has been debited with ₦20,000 by FBN/PAYARENA.
Please what do I do? Why did I get debited by payarena? I've never used payarena.
It should automatically reverse.
If not, go to another branch of First Bank to lodge the complainant.
You should fill a form in which they'll use to tract the transaction, reconcile it and credit your acct back.
