About Cowryvest

Cowryvest is a platform born from our desire to simplify, demystify, and democratize personal finance and investment knowledge in Nigeria and across Africa.

We provide:

  • Investment education
  • Personal finance insights
  • Financial market information and analysis
  • Practical Micro and Small Business Management guidance for African entrepreneurs

As famously stated by Warren Buffett, one of the world’s greatest investors:

“The best investment by far is anything that develops yourself, and it’s not taxed at all… Whatever abilities you have can’t be taken away from you. They can’t actually be inflated away from you.”

We believe the first step to successful investing is acquiring the right knowledge — investing in yourself. Cowryvest is our contribution to that journey.

Beyond investing, we share practical small business insights drawn from years of experience managing and advising small businesses in Nigeria. Our goal is to help business owners navigate the realities of building and scaling sustainable ventures in Africa.

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!).

Access Holdings 2025 Half-Year Results: Profit Drops, Wigwe Estate Divests Shares

  NIGERIA: Access Holdings PLC recently finally released its long awaited Audited Financial Results for June 30, 2025.Recall that they had notified the investing public of the delay in publishing their half year result twice, engendered by the complexity of the post-completion audit activities of their newly acquired sub-subsidiaries within the banking group, and getting Central Bank of Nigeria's approval for the result.  The delay in releasing the result had led to some shareholders selling off their stocks in the Financial institution, as some of them had expressed fear on the underlying reason for the delay. It was further exacerbated when a recent news revealed Access Bank's CEO, Roosevelt Ogbonna's splurge of millions of dollars on a UK property . While some investors did not see anything wrong with that news, others expressed concern, as Bankers are generally expected to be conservative in their vanity pursuits, especially in the eyes of curious and inquisitive custom...
