10 years ago, I qualified as an accountant in Nigeria.
This year, I’m being inducted as a UK Chartered Accountant 🇬🇧
A thread on consistency, growth, and staying the course 🧵👇🏾
"Financially illiterate" is harsh, but the lack of investing culture is real. A lot of people still think keeping cash in a 1% savings account is "safe," while inflation silently eats it away. Compounding is the missing piece of the puzzle here.
@AIInvestorHQ It’s a quiet crisis. A £145k pot looks okay on paper until you realise it has to stretch over 20–30 years of retirement. We desperately need better financial education and accessible investment tools in the UK.
This is a great way to look at it.
The hard part is that in the stock market, “30% off” doesn’t feel like a deal - it feels like danger. So people panic and sell.
But if you’re investing for the long term in good companies or index funds, price drops are normal.
Instead of reacting emotionally, take a step back, remind yourself why you invested, and focus on the bigger picture.
The stock market went down and people are panicking. Imagine paying full price at Zara then they drop 30% off the same item the next day and instead of buying more you return the one you already have. That’s what’s happening right now.
This is not the time to sell, it’s the time to use that emergency funds to buy

Dear [Recruiter Name],
Thank you for thinking of me for the [Role] position at [Company]; it is always flattering to be on someone’s radar. After careful consideration, I must unfortunately let you know that I will not be moving forward with this opportunity. The timing and fit are not quite right for where I am headed, and I have learned to trust that instinct.
I wish you and the team every success in finding the right candidate, and I hope our paths cross again when the stars align a little better. Do keep me in mind for future roles; the right one has a way of making itself known.
Warm regards,
[Your Name]
Motherhood is such a wild, beautiful contradiction. 🤍 It is simultaneously the hardest thing I’ve ever done and the most stunning experience of my life. 🥺
The fact that those two things can exist in the exact same moment is just mind-blowing. ✨💖
