How One Nigerian Investor Landed ₦189.7B in Dividends

While many Nigerians focus on saving their next ₦50,000, AbdulSamad Rabiu just pocketed ₦189.7 billion in dividends from BUA Cement’s stellar 2025 results, which saw revenue hit ₦1.18 trillion and profit after tax soar 382% to ₦356 billion. The company declared ₦10 per share, and Rabiu’s 18.97 billion shares (about 56% stake) translated into that massive payout — all without a salary or contract. This example shows why investors emphasise ownership. You don’t need billions to start. Buying shares in solid firms, holding them long term and reinvesting dividends lets compounding build real wealth. Are you only earning income from your labour, or are you also building assets that can pay you in the future?
