    ⚠️ Important Rules You Must Understand
    1. Qualification Date = “Cut-off”
    If you don’t own the shares before this date, you won’t get the dividend.
    2. Payment Date ≠ Same Month
    You may qualify in April
    But get paid in May or June
    3. Prices Adjust After Qualification
    After qualification date:
    Stock price usually drops (dividend adjustment)
    📌 Strategic Insight (Very Important)
    Don’t just chase dividends blindly. Look at:
    Dividend yield (return vs share price)
    Company fundamentals (profit, debt, growth)
    Consistency (banks & cement companies are more reliable)
    🧠 Best Dividend Sectors in Nigeria (2026)
    Banking (e.g., Zenith Bank, GTCO)
    Cement (Dangote Cement, BUA Cement)
    Consumer goods (BUA Foods)
    Bottom Line
    2026 dividend season is active across April → July
    The key dates to watch are qualification dates
    Strong dividend payers are already established and predictable
