What Does “1 for 5” Actually Mean?
Let’s make it practical.
If you have:
• 5 shares → you get 1 extra share
• 10 shares → you get 2 extra shares
• 100 shares → you get 20 extra shares
Important Point
You are NOT paying money for these shares.
✓ They are FREE
The company is simply converting its profits into shares and giving you.
Who Will Receive It?
Not everybody.
Only investors who:
✓ held the shares on or before the qualification date (Feb 6, 2026) (Nairametrics)
So… Has It Been Received?
Here is the honest answer:
It depends on processing — not everyone sees it immediately.
Let Me Explain With a Simple Example
Imagine the government shares relief food.
They first:
• write names
• verify people
• distribute gradually
Some people receive early…
Others later.
Same thing here.
Oya… Relax Let Me Explain
After a bonus issue is approved:
Step 1: Allotment
The company calculates who qualifies.
Step 2: CSCS Credit
Your new shares are sent to:
Central Securities Clearing System
Step 3: Broker Update
Then your broker (like your app) updates your portfolio.
Why You May Not See It Yet
1. Processing Delay
Bonus shares don’t reflect instantly.
2. App Delay
Even after CSCS updates…
Your app may take time to show it.
3. Registrar Processing
Registrars handle the distribution before it reaches your account.
Very Important Thing You Must Understand
Bonus shares do NOT increase your money instantly.
Why?
Because:
• number of shares increases
• price usually adjusts downward
Example
Before:
• 5 shares × ₦100 = ₦500
After bonus:
• 6 shares × ~₦83 = still around ₦500
✓ So your total value stays roughly the same initially
Let Me Be Honest With You
Bonus issue is NOT “free money”
It is:
✓ increase in number of shares
✓ not immediate profit
What You Should Do Now
1. Check Your CSCS Statement
That is the real source of truth.
2. Wait Patiently
Processing can take:
• days to a few weeks
3. Contact Your Broker If It Delays Too Long
Ask:
• “Has my bonus share been credited from CSCS?”
Final Truth
Yes — the bonus is real.
Yes — you will receive it (if you qualified).
But:
✓ it may not show immediately
✓ and it does not mean instant profit

Let Me Leave You With This
When you hear “bonus shares”…
Don’t think:
• free money
Think:
✓ “more shares, same value (for now)”
Because real profit comes later…
when the company continues to grow.
