SEHUNANDYI, thank you for bringing this important question about investments and wealth creation to Mama Ngozi. Let’s break it down so that even Mama Ngozi selling tomatoes can understand.
Imagine Stanbic IBTC Holdings PLC is like Aunty Ngozi who sells Garri in the market. Just as Aunty Ngozi wants to expand her Garri business, Stanbic IBTC wants to grow by raising money from investors. Imagine the investors are like people in the village who want to support Aunty Ngozi’s business by giving her money.
Now, the company Stanbic IBTC is telling its shareholders and the public that they can choose how they want to receive a part of the profits. It’s like when Aunty Ngozi wants to share her Garri business profits with her supporters. The shareholders can choose to get their profits either as cash or by getting more shares in the company.
To decide how many new shares the shareholders will get, the company set a price of ₦159.86 per new share. This is the amount each new share in the company will cost. If the shareholders prefer to receive cash, they will get ₦4.50 for each share they own.
For the shareholders to qualify for this, they must have been part of the company’s records by a certain date – just like Aunty Ngozi’s supporters must have bought Garri from her on a specific day to get a share of her profits.
The company needs special approvals before they can give out these new shares, just like Aunty Ngozi needing permission from the village head to expand her Garri business.
In summary, Stanbic IBTC, like Aunty Ngozi, wants to reward its shareholders for supporting the business by giving them a choice to receive profits as either cash or more shares in the company. The shareholders must meet certain requirements to qualify for this opportunity.
I hope this story helps you understand what the news from Stanbic IBTC was saying. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! As Mama Ngozi always says, “Knowledge is the key to financial success!”

Since your Bamboo account is already verified with KYC completed, what you mainly need now is:
add/verify your bank account inside Bamboo,
ensure the bank account name matches your Bamboo name,
and understand how dividends flow on Bamboo.
Important Clarification About Dividends on Bamboo
There are two different situations:
1. Nigerian Stocks on Bamboo NGX
If you buy Nigerian shares through Bamboo’s NGX section:
dividends are usually paid into your CSCS-linked bank account/E-dividend account, not directly into Bamboo wallet in many cases.
This depends on:
the stock registrar,
your CSCS setup,
and Bamboo’s custodial arrangement.
For Nigerian stocks, your bank details usually need to be correctly linked through:
CSCS,
registrar,
or E-dividend mandate.
2. U.S. Stocks and REITs on Bamboo
If you buy:
U.S. dividend stocks,
ETFs,
or REITs,
then dividends normally enter your:
Bamboo USD wallet first.
After that:
you manually withdraw to your Nigerian bank account.
So Bamboo does not automatically “sweep” dividends straight into your bank account like Nigerian registrars do.
How to Set Your Bamboo Withdrawal Bank Account
Inside the Bamboo app:
Open Bamboo app.
Go to:
Profile/Account
Open:
Wallet
or Withdraw/Transfer section
Add your Nigerian bank account.
Ensure:
your bank name,
account number,
and account name exactly match your Bamboo KYC identity.
Bamboo does not allow third-party withdrawals. �
