“In the refinery, we did not, and I repeat, we did not collect one single incentive from the Federal Government of Nigeria or even Lagos State.

Mr. Ibu died of Blood Clots in his leg.
This is the disease that almost killed me.
I still have a clot in my left leg. 200,000 Nigerians die of Blood Clot annually. Please know the symptoms. I almost died if not for medical intervention.
This was 3 years ago…
I lived with undiagnosed DVT for several months…
Then it dislodged and traveled to my lungs, causing Pulmonary Embolism…
I almost died…
Breathing was like stabbing myself with every draw of air…
Already walking was almost impossible…
At one point, I couldn’t get out of bed because of the pain…
Doctors couldn’t find what was wrong…
Blood tests and X-ray couldn’t find anything…
This is where many Africans become superstitious and conclude that they are being ‘pursued by village people’….
I was undiagnosed until the day I almost stopped breathing…
I remember walking into my GP’s room that morning…
Immediately he saw me, he ordered a D-Dimer blood test…
This is a test that checks for blood clotting problems by measuring the amount of the D-dimer level in your body.
My result came out positive and he ordered an ambulance to take me straight to hospital… according to him, I could drop dead any moment from then if I wasn’t admitted in hospital…
I told him I needed to see my family and kiss them goodbye before being taken to hospital…
I drove myself back to the house, packed my laptop and few clothes, said my goodbyes to the family and drove myself to the hospital…
It was during COVID so hospitals were filled with COVID patients and it took longer to get me admitted…
Once fully admitted, they injected me with CLEXANE…
My oxygen level was dropping…
I was taken in for a CT scan and boom, it was confirmed that I had clots in my lungs. I was diagnosed of Bilateral Massive Pulmonary Embolism. The size of the blood that clotted in my lungs is what was described as massive.
It was then that my physician told me I would have died in 2 days if I didn’t make it to hospital…
At that point, everything lost value…
I knew I could die any moment…
I called a few friends and prepared them for my potential exit…
I contacted business partners and shared every necessary information they need for continuity…
I blocked my mind from thinking about my son as the thought of him in this world without me was killing me faster than the massive clot in my lungs…
But I had faith in medical science…
I trusted the process…
I surrounded myself with friends in the medical field - from Dr. Idee in the UK who first mentioned i should be checked for DVT/PE, sister Joy in the US, Dr. Adetola in the US and others.
On ground, I had the best specialists monitoring me closely.
After 10 days of fighting for my life in hospital, my physician discharged me and said I cheated death.
According to him, blood clots kills faster yet few people are aware of it.
I knew at that point that the universe wanted me to use my story to raise awareness about this killer but unpopular medical condition…
If you sit long hours in flights or at work, you are at a risk of developing a blood clot.
If you have high blood pressure, cancer or on cancer therapy, your risk of clotting is high.
If you have a sibling or relative who suffered blood clot, please investigate the possibility of a genetic clotting disorder.
And finally, if you’re sick and multiple blood tests do not show what’s wrong with you, do not conclude that the condition is spiritual. You just haven’t been tested correctly. Some laboratory tests or radiological scans may also not be available in your city. A lot of Nigerians die because they mistook a medical condition for a spiritual problem .
My name is Charles Awuzie and I just wanted to raise awareness about blood clots especially after learning that Mr. Ibu died of clot related complications.
Okay, CBN increases MPR rate and guys are asking question to what does that mean.
No be say I no wan explain am, I go finish writing my english someone will say na just theory😂😂
No wahala, for the sake of learning purposes, let's look at what the numbers below are

Highlights of Federal Executive Council decisions on Monday 26 February
Here are some of the highlights of the far reaching decisions taken today at the Federal Executive Council meeting, chaired by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
1. FEC approved construction of Lagos-Port Harcourt-Calabar Coastal Superhighway to Messrs Hitech Construction Africa. The First phase made up of 47 kms will begin in Lagos.
2. Social security payments to the vulnerable households to begin immediately. Recipients will be those with NIN and BVN.
3. Social security payments to be extended to graduates from NCE and upwards
4. Consumer Credit to be established very urgently. Chief of Staff to lead a committee that includes Budget Minister, Attorney-General, Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Finance, to make the scheme a reality.
5. The Council in order to enhance efficiency in the Federal service, and reduce the cost of governance, decided to implement the recommendations of the Steve Oronsaye panel on the restructuring and rationalisation of Federal agencies, parastatals and commissions.
The implementation involves merging, subsuming and scrapping agencies with similar functions.
The Oronsaye report was submitted in 2012 to the Jonathan administration. In 2014, the Jonathan government released a white paper on the report. The Buhari administration after re-examining the white paper also released a second white paper in August 2022, but did not implement the report.
However, the Tinubu administration has decided to confront the monster of high governance cost by implementing elements of the report.
An eight-man committee has a 12-week deadline to ensure that the necessary legislative amendments and administrative restructuring needed to implement the reforms are effected in an efficient manner.
The committee comprises Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Head of the Civil Service, Attorney General and Justice Minister, Budget and Planning Minister, DG Bureau of Public Service Reform, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Coordination, Special assistant to the president on National Assembly. The Cabinet Affairs Office will serve as the secretariat.
Key recommendations for implementation:
National Salaries, Income and wages Commission to be subsumed under Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission. The National Assembly will need to amend the constitution as RMAFC was established by the constitution.
Infrastructure Concession and Regulatory Commission to be merged with Bureau of Public Enterprise and be rechristened as `Public Enterprises and Infrastructural Concession Commission

FIFA's claim that William of SA is the first goalkeeper in African history to save four penalties in a tournament is not true.
Very untrue.
In AFCON 2006, Vincent Enyeama, Nigeria Super Eagles 's renowned goalkeeper, saved four penalties in one match in AFCON. The game was against Tunisia.
Vincent Enyeama even scored his own penalty.
