How to Claim Your Unclaimed Dividends and Recover Your Lost or Missing Shares
If you bought shares a long time ago, or your parents did, the shares are most likely not missing. In many cases, they are still intact and waiting to be claimed.
So, what should you do?
1. Confirm from the SEC Website
Visit the SEC Non-Mandated Portal:
[SEC Non-Mandated Portal](https://t.co/wGx1QKLbvM)
You will typically see:
• Shareholder’s name
• Company name
• Registrar
However, not all your shares may appear there, so you may need to take additional steps.
2. Conduct a Global Search
This is where you engage a stockbroker. The broker will collect your details and conduct a global search through Central Securities Clearing System (CSCS) on your behalf.
The search result will reveal:
• Detailed information about your shares
• Number of shares owned
• The stockbroker through whom the shares were originally purchased
Please note that this is NOT a free service. CSCS will charge you. The broker will charge as well.
3. Complete the Inter-Member Transfer Form and Account Opening Form
At this stage, you will need to open a brokerage account with the stockbroker assisting you.
Opening the account will provide you with:
• A CSCS account number
• A CHN (Clearing House Number)
These details are required for the Inter-Member Transfer Form, which is used to transfer your shares from the existing broker or account to your new brokerage account.
4. Fill the E-Dividend Form
The E-Dividend Form is required to recover your unpaid dividends.
Depending on the companies you invested in, you may need to complete forms from different registrars.
5. Additional Requirements
If everything goes smoothly, your shares and outstanding dividends will be credited to you.
However, in some cases, you may be required to provide:
• Banker’s confirmation - to confirm your signature
• Evidence of change of name - if you changed your name
Also note that many registrars do not accept scanned copies of E-Dividend Forms. Physical submission may be required.
6. Recovery Is Possible
Recovering your unclaimed dividends and lost shares is absolutely possible.
Tell your parents that their investments did not go to waste.
7. Good luck.
I Don’t See The Level Of Hunger Nigerians Are Complaining About — Onanuga
I have people working for me privately and i ask them questions about how they’re surviving and adjusting. This government has increased minimum wage by more than 100%.

Maybe someone should do an app showing Lagos rubbish heaps on a map. It will be user-powered and you can drill down to see the pictures. I can donate a domain. Let me research the cost of the maps API access. Maybe that will show how really dirty the place is.
The level of political impunity in Nigeria is out of control. A party chairman serving as an INEC observer is a total mockery of democratic oversight. This blatant conflict of interest needs to stop now!

Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,
After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.
You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.
It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.
In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.
I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.
You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.
If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.
Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.
I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.
My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.

What it does mean is that you decided bitterness wouldn’t get the final word in your story. You chose to release the weight of anger, not for their sake, but for your own peace and freedom.
