Passed the Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer certification today.

The PCSE is definitely the most difficult and rigorous certification I've taken in my career so far.

Without the help of Google.

Guess the Chelsea player that was managed by Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola and Thomas Tuchel.

Level: Hard

[John Toby Idowu @obacloud]

@cfc_tayo It's Kovacic

He played under Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid, played for Tuchel at Chelsea, then left Chelsea for Man City where he played under Pep Guardiola.

This one hard true true 👊👍

@UnkleAyo Wait ooh... Is the DSS genuinely telling us they cannot identify the location of the victims??? Or what exactly is going on here? Why NSA, DSS DG, NIA DG not given 7 days ultimatum to recover these victims or get sacked???

@officialEFCC Why is Mr Kachalla not arrested and prosecuted if these corruption allegations against him are true?

New ED at First Bank.

Checked his profile and a couple of things jumped at me:

1. Ex KPMG -many top finance and management professionals were in Big 4 at a ppint in the early stage of his career.

2. He worked in management positions Forte Oil, Geregu Power and now FBN. All Otedola interests at some point. Many people don't know this in corporate world, but it is very common. Once a very influential corporate godfather identifies you as smart and competent, they move you around anywhere they go. Otedola likely to have discovered him when he owned Forte Oil. When he divested from Forte Oil and invested in Geregu, he moved him to Geregu. Now, Otedola is the majority shareholder in First Holdings, he has brought him there again.

Superbanker Umaru Mutallab was SLS's godfather in banking. He discoevred his smartness. Although SLS had not joined UBA when Mutallab was the CEO of UBA, he was still influential enough in UBA to spot him when SLS was in UBA in the late 1990s. When Mutallab became Chairman of First Bank then, he poached SLS from UBA to join FBN in 2005 as an ED. By 2009, he was promoted to MD. When Soludo's term expired as CBN governor later in 2009, and Yar'adua wanted a replacement, he sought advice from superbanker Mutallab for a banking guru he knew. He referred SLS again. That was how SLS become CBN governor.

One of my mentors, Niyi Yusuf, who became CEO of Accenture Nigeria in 2010, mentioned the role his benefactor and highly influential former CEO and later Chairman of Accenture Nigeria, Dotun Sulaiman, played in his rise in Accenture.

I have other examples.

If you are smart and competent in your job, and one highly influential power broker in corporate Nigeria spots you, they move you around, mention your name in rooms, refer you, and, where they have near-absolute power (eg board seat because of their shareholding), they solely put you in top positions.

The last few months has been a tough and excruciating battle with my life.

I am sure I have had to suffer more pains than the guy at the cross who asked Jesus for a place in his kingdom.

For those who don't already know, I have a lump on my throat and it has grown to the point where it's now capable of eating my own blood.

The lump, according to the series of scans I have done is called Lymphoma.

In simpler terms, I have been battling Lymphoma.

I have gone days where I couldn’t talk, days where I couldn’t move my body from the bed for the whole day, nights where I have had my life flash before my eyes just because I chose to pee, days where I have had constant blurry visions where I couldn’t see things or anyone clearly, this explains why I have stayed off Facebook because I can’t see for long.

I am very weak. It’s the first thing you’d notice when you see me. I am being assisted to walk as I cannot walk on my own. In two months, I have fallen at different places that have sometimes resulted into injuries. How I am still alive, I do not understand it yet. The weakness is very evidenced in my voice, it has been the weakest it has ever been and my speech has become somehow incoherent. When I talk for over 30 seconds, I begin to gasp for air. I am sure some of those who have called me during this period will understand this better.

I have emaciated a lot. I don’t even look like me anymore.

I have been receiving treatment at the teaching hospital here in Uyo. I am scheduled for a biopsy soon, but I have to wait another week cus the hospital decided to shut down the hospital and send patients home after an issue that occurred at the hospital entrance yesterday.

For those who don’t know, a biopsy is done to check if a lump is cancerous or not. So a mini surgery is required as they’ll have to cut a part of my throat to remove the small lump they need for the biopsy.

The result of what the biopsy would be scares me a bit. First, because I don’t have the energy to go through cancer treatment after this horrible last two/three months. I really hope it’s not cancer so I can begin to prepare my mind for a major surgery instead.

My family and friends have been supportive financially, emotionally, morally during this period. But I’ll be needing your help and support as they can’t do it alone. The biopsy and a possible surgery will cost me significant finances. I need your help. I already thought I’ll be dead by now. But I wake up to life every morning, surprisingly. And since the universe still wants me alive, please help me stay alive. Thank you very much.

I hope to return to Facebook again after all these. But I need to be okay first. At least get the blurry vision out of the way so I can see your updates on my screen again.

I am thankful to everyone who has reached out one way or the other to ask about my well-being. I opened my Messenger app for the first time few days ago and I was overwhelmed at the plethora of new messages. I would attend to those messages as soon as I can gather enough strength. Thank you everyone. God bless you.

If God wills, I will be back.

Please help Hufon Hime survive
