I need Chartered Accountants (ACA) working/residing within the axis of Yola, Gombe, Yobe, Taraba or Bauchi to say Hi in my DM pls.

Those I know have all japa'ed to Abuja/Lagos and I used to get some opportunities/vacancies for job referral.

The pay is usually 200k - 400k depending on the company's capacity. It's not profitable for someone outside the location to accept.

I don't have opportunity or vacancy NOW. What I need is to create familiarity so that if opportunity comes, I can easily refer you.

It's even worst for the ladies.

[Sani Lawan @serniylawan]

@hedrees_ayinde Thank you for this. It would be great if you could consider organizing a space to guide and share tips for prospective applicants, sir.

17 things I wish I had known 12 years ago as a career starter.

1-📍Working long hours is an investment in your craft and not necessarily a punishment. Short-term pain for longer-term gain.

2-📍Your colleagues genuinely want to hear your point of view and it is okay to share even though you think you are not experienced enough.

3-📍Everything you do matters; your inactions also matter. They cumulatively form a reputation of who you are as a career professional.

4-📍Delivery of quality work is great but what is even better is Quality + Speedy delivery.

5-📍Your most important work is to help lighten the burden of your boss. Be the solver; be the helper.

6-📍There is always a smarter way to deal with people. Staying calm in tricky situations and giving people the benefit of the doubt will never go out of style.

7-📍You are exactly who you think you are. You just need to show it more and keep improving at it.

8-📍There is someone out there who has the answers you are looking for. Leveraging their experiences will get you quick answers and will help you get through complex situations in time.

9-📍Project management is a skill not only for work situations but also for life situations.

10-📍 You are not arrogant, you are just talking about the good pieces of work you have done every chance you get.

11-📍Choose your work friends wisely, you could be forming a bond that will transform your life and relationships that will last a lifetime.

12-📍It is okay not to have a lot of answers. Start with the ones you have and work your way through using available resources including people.

13-📍The only person who suffers due to your lack of confidence is you. There's nothing to be afraid of. My hack: Communicate like you are chatting with a friend.

14-📍Every meeting you attend is your opportunity to impress. Go with your agenda and be the 2nd or 3rd person speaking up.

15-📍Feedback is not criticism. Feedback is Feedback. The areas for improvement are a great source of direction for the next review period.

16-📍It is okay to talk about your ambitions and seek guidance on how you can achieve them.

17-📍Visibility will amplify your work. Don’t downplay it.

Go and be fantastic today.

Irish by birth, Naija in spirit. It’s more than whiskey — it’s how we come together, share moments, and make them matter.

Different places. Same spirit. Must Be A Jameson.

Nigeria’s Class Delusion

The degree of classism one witnesses in Nigeria is paradoxical for a country where social mobility is so fluid. You can count on the fingers of your hands the number of wealthy families in Nigeria that can survive without government patronage. That’s why it becomes confusing when you see classist behaviour at public and private engagements from beneficiaries of our rentier system.

The chances of the same Nigerian you look down upon as materially inferior rising to your level are just as high as your chances of falling down the social ladder with a change of government.

The proportion of wealthy Nigerians who neither have the enterprise nor the credentials to sustain their wealth without government patronage is higher than those who possess the business acumen or intellect to thrive on their own, or even function at the top in new businesses or professions.

Every change of government in this country reduces a portion of the elite to struggling reality after a few months or years, while creating a new set of nouveau riche—and that’s frightening. This explains the desperation of some political actors to re-enter the system after leaving office or after the end of their government, seeking to remain relevant enough to sustain patronage.

The funniest thing about this country is that if you go back just one generation in the so-called super-rich families, there is no history of wealth, wealth creation, enterprise, or even professional accomplishment behind their sudden riches. Yet, these same families end up boastful, looking down on the very position they occupied just a generation ago—a position they could easily return to if their breadwinners fall out with the ruling elite.

I went to school with some children of the old money, and I watched them struggle to pay school fees, sometimes borrowing my car just to impress a girl. Nothing humbles my expectations about life more than witnessing such a lifestyle. I grew up reading about their parents’ wealth, and the ashes of that glory are enough reason to remain humble.

There is no level of wealth that time cannot erode. As breadwinners, your prayer should be to equip your dependents with the values to recognise that their privilege is fleeting and to prepare for the future—understanding that there is no absolute guarantee they will make it.
