Has anyone received their DANGCEM dividend?

Desanta:


Well, I have a lot of share certificate I need to dematerialize, and a lot of unclaimed dividend going as far back as 10 years ago. I'm tired of filling forms and sending by mail or scanned copies. They are never replied.
I bought some shares through Morgan capital and still I can't get my dividend despite filling all the papers and sending them by post since they no longer accept scanned copies.
I can't travel to Lagos just to submit transfer forms or e- dividend forms. What other options do I really have?

A simple question :

Are these 2 banks part of the 7 SIBs?

FCMB has a total assets of 1.5b+ while FIDELITY has 1.9b+

Another one that I think could be part of the SIB could be STANBIC (Total assets of 1.6b+)

I wanted to feed our chickens in the morning, then I walked around the house. Surprisingly I saw this snake trying to go into the kitchen through the window but it could not because of the net... I finally killed it with a very long stick cos I was scared... Lol

What kind of snake is it?

americanson:
Please o, our American based brothers, I want to ask something.

I do see some American houses using wood for flooring and walling in some section of their house and I know these are durable woods...

My question is, do we have this kind of woods in Nigeria?

spyder880:


Yes, a soakaway is usually designed in consideration of land type and expected use. Some soak away pits are positioned under car parks, making vehicles drive on top of them.

Setbacks/challenges that plagued the project from the onset have been highlighted below

- Non-development of the raw material site and Infrastructure.
One of the popular attributes of the Nigerian state is building a dam without a river. In 1973, when Iron ore of the required quantity and quality was discovered in Itakpe, a chain reaction that would lead to the development of the Ajaokuta steel company was set in motion. Even thou the Ajaokuta steel mill was started in 1979, the award of the contract for the construction of the rail line to bring the raw materials to the steel mill and to Warri, Delta state to serve the world market was not awarded until 1987. The rail line is still incomplete as of today and the contract for the completion has been awarded to the China Civil Engineering construction company.

- Non-availability of indigenous capacity to operate and manage the plant
The Ajaokuta steel plant has a highly sophisticated assemblage of 43 different plants out of which 40 are already completed. The complexity of the operations led to the involvement of foreign experts from the start.

In 1970, TYAZHPROMEXPORT (TPE), a Russian company were initially contracted to carry out a geological survey of the iron ore deposits and later to prepare the preliminary project report for the proposed Ajaokuta steel company.in 1979, TPE started the project and executed it to 98% completion in 1994.

In 2003, The Ajaokuta steel plant was conceded to Messrs SOLGAS ENERGY, an American firm on a 10-year tenure. The concession was terminated by the federal government of Nigerian due to Non-performance.

In 2005, Another concession was granted to Global Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (GINL), an India company. The contract was also revoked by the Federal Government due to Non- performance.

The history of Ajaokuta steel company is interwoven with management by foreign companies. Although the management and operation of the Ajaokuta steel plant is currently in the hands of the Nigerian Federal Government, there are already plans for another round of concessions to viable foreign companies.

- Corruption
Nigeria is plagued by a virus diagnosed as corruption. This virus as affected every sphere of the Nigeria state of which the Ajaokuta Steel company is not immune.

From an over bloated project sum to the concession of the steel company to non-viable actors. The Ajaokuta steel company has suffered heavily from the fatal illness called corruption.

Every now and then, the debate about the Ajaokuta steel debacle props up, the Nigerian National Assembly collects sitting allowance to discuss the issue, project vehicles are purchased to visit the steel company and money is allocated for the maintenance of the dilapidated steel company. All this adds to the cost of a project that as yet to be completed 40 years down the line.


Below are possible solutions to the debacle faced by the Ajaokuta steel company.

- Enter renegotiation with the original designer and builder of the steel plant (TYAZHPROMEXPORT) to complete the project.

- Critical evaluation of the state of assets in the steel company to identify those that need replacement.

- Critical Investment analysis of the Ajaokuta steel company.

- Development of indigenous capacity to operate and manage the steel plant.

- Political will to ensure completion of the project.

- Adopting the report by the Nigerian society of Engineers recommending the unbundling of the of the sector into an upstream sector
focused on raw materials and the downstream sector, a metallurgical company.


Despite consuming $10billion of public funds, it is estimated that the Ajaokuta steel company requires an additional $2billion to attain 100% completion and roll out its first sheet of steel. Until its operational, the Ajaokuta steel company would continue to be a drain in the government pockets through the allocation of funds for payment of salaries to the steelworkers and the maintenance of the non-operation steel plant. An operational Ajaokuta steel company would the backbone of the Nigerian diversification and industrialization drive, with a potential to boost the economy and provide employment opportunities for thousands of Nigerians.

In view of this, the CBN has also asked the banks and MTN Nigeria to immediately repatriate a total of $8.134 billion; being part of funds that were illegally taken out of Nigeria by the telco.

Standard Chartered Bank- ₦2.4 billion
Stanbic IBTC- ₦1.8 billion
Citibank- ₦1.2 billion and
Diamond Bank Plc- ₦250 million
MTN - $8 Billion


By the time they list this MTN na the shell we go see. I like the way govt is dealing with them. DSTV need this same treatment. Diamond bank, we never see profit the one almost available is going. Mr. Uzoma what sin did we commit?

@stcool. Laws should be passed to hold the CEOs of these publicly traded companies accountable for actions like this. Because in the end, the poor shareholder is the one who suffers, while the company executives go scot free. By the way, I always felt that MTN was very reluctant to list its shares in the Nigeria market. they see us a cash cow, but do not want to give us ownership.

All dis steptiles and metcopo wey dey leak upandan sef na wahala o !

Anyway, anybody wey see my hand for steptiles or metcopo again, abeg give me 12 lashes with koboko. Take pepper rub the koboko first.

KolaShangOne:


I always try to advice people against Steptiles especially the 0.45mm.

Infact I've never used 0.45mm steptile before for any client.

My motto Is, If you can't afford 0.55mm gauge steptile, go for 0.45mm longspan.

spyder880:
They are usually more beautiful to look at, but experience has shown the likelihood of water passing from spaces and crevices in roofing types like step tiles and Metcoppo types. If you use a long span roof, the flow of water is usually smooth, not too different from the old corrugated zink types of the old.

The problem with the step tiles is the relative ease of water jumping through the gaps left by the designs in the corrugation. There seems to be more space left with step tiles, there also seems to be overflows that spill over the gutter placed under roof valleys. To prevent this problem, use a method we call "double lapping" but it might add another 10% to the roofing sheets budget at it involves using more roofing materials.

By design, machines can perforate roofing sheets if the machines are faulty. In this attached picture, a lot of work was put in to find the leaking spot, but it wasn't possible for a long time because it was coming from an area with a tear coming from the top of the building, this could present more problems especially when the house scaffolding has been removed. This will mean that a scaffolding be done, or hired to climb the top of the house.

spyder880:
Reasons why step tiles and metcoppo sheets are more susceptible to leaks?

I will write about my findings later today.

Chekitaut:
That major problem with steptiles, Buy silicon get the roofer to come fix it, it very easy transport fee & what you wish give him.

I spotted an error on the road already without taking a second look. I think Nigerians need serious education on road safety.

Those white lines you see on the road aren't for fancy or to demarcate the lanes, it means a lot to the driver. Those lines tell where you can and where you can't overtake.

The straight white lines mean you can't overtake here while the broken white lines means you can overtake here. Applying the broken white lines on a curve is erroneous because you are telling drivers to overtake in a curve.
