Passive Income Investment Options- Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

March 04, 2026

Many Africans grew up being introduced to real estate investing as the most popular form of investing. From Lagos to Nairobi, Johannesburg to Accra, the formula has always been the same: get educated, get a job, buy land, build a house... rinse and repeat . For many Africans — including those in the diaspora — real estate feels safe, tangible, and reliable. So real estate investing is not strange to us and remains the most common form of investing in Africa. It is one of the reasons we publish articles educating our audience on various other forms of investing beyond real estate. Here are some of our previous articles where we outlined some passive income investment vehicles available for investors to take advantage of. Click on the links below to read.

List of Dividends Declared in 2026 by Nigerian Companies (NGX Update)

NIGERIA: Nigerian listed companies have begun releasing their audited 2025 results—and with them, dividend announcements are starting to roll in. For many investors, this is the moment that truly matters. Most of the results are looking much better than the previous year, especially for the real sector, recovering from the losses many of them recorded as a result of macro economic factors. Following the results are dividends which some of them that were hard hit by the sharp floating of the currency and deregulation of fuel in 2023 had not paid since then. Investors in turn are happy and are smiling to the bank with such cash returns to them. Some companies had declared and paid interim dividends in the course of 2025, and are currently declaring final dividends with the release of their full year audited results. As usual, the dividends declared are subject to shareholders' approvals and appropriate withholding tax (except otherwise stated), and will be paid electronically to shar...

How to Claim Your Unclaimed Dividend in Nigeria

Have You Ever Bought Shares In Nigerian Companies in the past? Public offer (Primary) or Secondary Market? Then this is for you. Several Nigerians participate in Public offers of Nigerian publicly listed companies without going further to register with stockbrokers. For instance, the last MTN public offer in 2022 had over 126,000 investors, according to MTN and Premium Times , but I would be surprised if up to half of such investors have done anything further after that investment. Similarly, GTCO recently did a public offer with not less than 130,000 domestic investors participating in it as reported by Guardian News . If you have ever participated in buying shares of Nigerian companies, chances are that you might have unpaid dividends waiting for you to claim (Free bucks, yeah!). Whether it was through an Initial Public offer, Public offer or bought from the Secondary market, if the company had ever declared dividends after your purchase then you are likely eligible to be ...

Lafarge Africa FY2025 Results: Record Revenue, 400% Dividend Surge, and Bold Expansion Plans

Lafarge Africa PLC released its FY2025 Audited Financials on the 26th of February, 2026, and the numbers were quite impressive. From a struggling company a few years ago with its loss-making South African misadventure to a company that has become a toast to investors, Lafarge has seen it all. Between December 17, 2018 and January 23, 2019 the company did a Rights issue of 7.4 billion ordinary shares at ₦12 per share on the basis of 6 new shares for every 7 existing shares held. Sometime in 2019 the share price even dipped further to ₦9 - ₦10 range. That same company, Lafarge Africa PLC (NGX ticker symbol: WAPCO) now has its share price trading at circa ₦215 as at the date of publishing this article, placing its valuation on the NGX at over ₦3.4 trillion. Imagine for a moment that you had invested ₦1 million in the stock when it was selling for ₦10 and held until now, that would have been a 21.5 bagger right there, essentially appreciating to ₦21.5 million within a period of 7 yea...
