@OluwatobiGoldd These guys ran me street.... after VAT & Serv Charge I still didn't get the expected units they displayed prior payment.
Even the receipt doesn't display the units u are cr with.
1 in 7 adults is a millionaire in Switzerland.
That's 5x higher than the US.
I had to find out their wealth-building habits.
7 ways the Swiss think about money to become richer than you:
"A national anthem, pledge or constitution can not unite a nation, a nation is united by the ideals of freedom, equity, and justice", Sen. Shehu Sani tells President Bola Tinubu at the Democracy Day dinner in Abuja.
This is ridiculous, that fr a month a straight fwd resolutn to put me on d same band as my estate residents which doesn't warrant any ext consultation to be resolved is still pending @aedcelectricity has been sending the same generic reply that the complaint has been escalated
@ARISEtv I have been writing to @aedcelectricity for over 2 weeks requesting that my tarrif be downgraded to suit other residents of my estate to no avail.
Less than 6 hours light per day and on Band A.

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.
Are you looking to transition from a smaller accounting firm or an in-house role to a Big 4 firm? You should consider these tips:
1. Master your job thoroughly, and be sure you know the basis of everything you do. If all you can say is that ‘this is how we do it in our company’ it feels like you still have a long way to go.
2. Reflect on your achievements at work. It can be as ‘basic’ as teaching your juniors a new skill or improving the efficiency of a process.
3. Reflect on your weaknesses and ‘failures’ at work. It can be an error you committed that led to material audit adjustments in your company’s accounts. Note the lessons from those experiences and actions you’ve taken to improve.
4. Identify the unit within any of the Big 4 firms that you want to work with. You should focus on units where they do stuff that match your experience. Check their websites to know what these units are or ask someone in the Big 4.
5. Connect with someone in your desired unit in a Big 4 firm. As an accountant, you should know someone who knows somebody in a Big 4 firm. Share your experience and ask them for feedback on your readiness for your desired role. If that person identifies gaps for you, please fix them.
6. If you already have many years of experience, ensure you obtain Chartered Accountant status. Not a deal breaker but it can make life easier.
7. Craft a detailed CV emphasizing experience over certifications; buzzwords aren't as impactful.
8. Optimize your LinkedIn profile and that goes beyond putting up a fine profile picture.
9. Develop an 'elevator pitch' for networking with Big 4 leaders on LinkedIn.
10. Go on LinkedIn! Look for partners, directors and may be managers that work within the unit of Big 4 firms that you’re interested in. Connect with them using your elevator pitch. Sit down and see how events unfold.
Once they request your CV, you’re on the right track.
Stay tuned for insights on acing Big 4 interviews based on my experience interviewing over 30 candidates from similar backgrounds.
