The CFA curriculum remains one of the most comprehensive learning resources in finance.

If you are looking for a central resource that gives you a strong understanding of the different disciplines within finance, from investment analysis, portfolio management and corporate finance to economics, financial reporting and analysis, derivatives and wealth management, the CFA curriculum is arguably the closest thing to a one-stop shop.

It provides a broad foundation that helps you understand not just individual concepts, but how different areas of finance connect and influence one another.

Hi Everyone, please I need your help.

I’ve battled Keloid since I was 2 as a result of the first ear piercing which was done at birth and was done wrongly.
My parents have gone through several options given to them and it keeps reoccurring.

I’ve done several surgical removal that I can’t even keep count both in general hospitals and private hospitals and they always finish up with kenalog as usual, I did cryotherapy for 2years with a popular Bumps clinic and the pain from the procedure almost paralyzed the left part of my body as it became weaker and I couldn’t use it, still it resurfaced.

Since 2015 I’ve been in and out of the hospital over this keloid, one general hospital suggested removing the whole ear which might cause another issue as it could still grow again.

I’ve been going through excruciating pains, every single day of my life I’m in pains, I’ve been popping painkillers like who’s taking candy, I barely sleep at night
Most days I’m awake till morning, once it’s night I get scared cos the pains becomes unbearable.
Sometimes I take sleeping pills just to get through the night.
I can’t go out, I can’t even show up for my business, my parents and siblings have had to give up their finances every single year because of me. Last year November, my sister single-handedly took care of the bills for the procedure I did.

At some point the Keloid started to accumulate abscess, it becomes so much that I’ve had to go through drainage process, I did one last year as well.
And all of these have made the keloid very aggressive and it grows faster by the day, the last removal procedure I did was in April of last year, the growth you’re seeing in frame 1 is just 1year and 7months growth which is unusually fast.

Since I finished my service year I’ve been at home because I couldn’t work with this condition, I even had to let go of a few job opportunities I was recommended for with the hope of getting this done before I fully commit.

A doctor I met recommended LASUTH earlier this year and since May I’ve been trying to get booked for surgery, initially I was booked for surgery but I wasn’t told everything it entailed, my first surgery date was September 11th and it was moved later on due to the strike.

I was opportuned to secure a consultation again with the Burns and Plastic unit (BPSU) yesterday in LASUTH and the consultant put me through everything I needed for the keloid to not reoccur.
He said I needed at least 2 Radiotherapy sessions of which one has to be done exactly 24hrs after the surgical removal and then another few weeks after.
After which I have to undergo chemotherapy and then post op care which includes injections, drugs,silicone creams, and any other recommended care.

The Radiotherapy is to be done in LUTH (I was given a reference letter for it) after making enquiries in LUTH, the estimate of one radiotherapy session was given at 2.5m, and I’ll be needing 2sessions which sums up to 5m. Then the surgery for the removal of the Keloid costs 1.2m and I’ve been able to come up with that. Then after the surgery I’m to undergo chemotherapy and post op care but I have not been told how much that would cost, so I am unsure of the entire cost of that but the estimation according to what I’ve researched is about 2m.

LASUTH have given me November 19th for my next and last consultation before the removal and this simply means I have to come up with the money for everything before then.

So in total what will be needed for the successful surgery and post op care is 8.2m of which I’ve already raised 1.2m and I’m left to source for 7m before the 19th of November.

This was really really hard for me to do as I have never done this before but this is my last resort as I have exhausted all my options and I have spent more than 6months alone trying to get booked with LASUTH.

Please help me get my life back together 🙏
Any amount will go a long way🙏

Two interesting things I discovered this week are:

1. That you can get genuine court affidavits online from the Nigerian Federal High Court. A genuine one, not the ones those roadside people give you.
The website has all sorts of affidavits, even ones I didn't know existed.

2. The National Population Commission has a working portal. You can register your newborn online and get a certified birth certificate that is accepted worldwide.

You can do all these things without any bureaucracy.

Ehn wait.. The question I want to ask is that is it now that there is El Nino that Ikeja Electric has decided to move mad?? What kind of bad timing is this???

Earlier this morning, the Ebola patient in Nigeria and her contact, who is also her husband, were medically evacuated to Switzerland.

The reasons for the evacuation are:
✅ Both the patient and her husband are Swiss citizens.
✅ The patient is clinically stable. The Nigerian medical team successfully managed her through the acute phase of the illness and stabilized her condition.

On behalf of WHO and all partners, I warmly congratulate the Government of Nigeria, health workers, clinicians, emergency responders and all those involved in the response. This is a remarkable achievement and a testament to what Africa can accomplish when we work together.

With the evacuation of the patient and her husband, Nigeria currently has no Ebola cases.

However, vigilance remains critical. Nigeria will continue the close follow-up of 52 contacts, while Switzerland will assume responsibility for the continued management of the patient and the follow-up of contact number 53, her husband.

Congratulations once again to everyone involved. This is a proud moment demonstrating African expertise, resilience, and leadership in public health.
----------------------------

Ce matin, la patiente atteinte d’Ebola au Nigéria et son contact, qui est également son époux, ont été évacués médicalement vers la Suisse.

Les raisons de cette évacuation sont les suivantes :
✅ La patiente et son mari sont tous deux citoyens suisses.
✅ La patiente est cliniquement stable. L’équipe médicale nigériane a réussi à la prendre en charge durant la phase aiguë de la maladie et à stabiliser son état.

Au nom de l’OMS et de tous les partenaires, je félicite chaleureusement le Gouvernement du Nigéria, les agents de santé, les cliniciens, les intervenants d’urgence et toutes les personnes impliquées dans la réponse. C’est une réalisation remarquable et une preuve de ce que l’Afrique peut accomplir lorsque nous travaillons ensemble.

Avec l’évacuation de la patiente et de son mari, le Nigéria ne compte actuellement plus de cas d’Ebola.

Cependant, la vigilance reste essentielle. Le Nigéria poursuivra le suivi rapproché de 52 contacts, tandis que la Suisse assurera la prise en charge continue de la patiente et le suivi du 53ᵉ contact, son mari.

Félicitations encore à toutes celles et ceux qui ont contribué à cette réussite. Ce moment est une fierté, démontrant l’expertise, la résilience et le leadership africains en santé publique.
----------------------------

Hoje de manhã, a paciente com doença pelo vírus Ebola na Nigéria e o seu contacto, que é também o seu marido, foram evacuados por via médica para a Suíça.
A evacuação deve-se aos seguintes motivos:

✅ Tanto a paciente como o seu marido são cidadãos suíços.
✅ A paciente encontra-se clinicamente estável. A equipa médica nigeriana conseguiu prestar-lhe cuidados durante a fase aguda da doença e estabilizar o seu estado de saúde.

Em nome da OMS e de todos os parceiros, felicito calorosamente o Governo da Nigéria, os profissionais de saúde, os clínicos, as equipas de resposta a emergências e todas as pessoas envolvidas na resposta. Esta é uma conquista notável e uma prova do que África pode alcançar quando trabalhamos em conjunto.

Com a evacuação da paciente e do seu marido, a Nigéria não tem atualmente nenhum caso de doença pelo vírus Ebola.

No entanto, é fundamental manter a vigilância. A Nigéria continuará a acompanhar de perto 52 contactos, enquanto a Suíça assumirá a responsabilidade pela continuidade dos cuidados à paciente e pelo acompanhamento do contacto número 53, o seu marido.

Mais uma vez, felicito todas as pessoas envolvidas. Este é um momento de orgulho que demonstra a competência, a resiliência e a liderança de África no domínio da saúde pública.

No, there is no "accounting lens or bad/good financial decisions lens"

Accounting is accounting - either for individuals, businesses, government, or other entities.

Assets are assets. Not all assets are meant to earn income. You can have consumable assets and store-of-value assets - and they are not mutually exclusive.

How you finance those assets is another concept. You finance using borrowings or personal savings.

That you borrowed to buy a car or a house does not mean you have made a bad financial decision.

The bad decisions relate to "excess debt", insufficient buffers, or the dynamics between the quality of your assets and your liabilities.

And that you incur expenses to maintain an asset does not make an asset a liability (a lot of people need to unlearn this).

Your car for your personal use needs to be maintained. You incur expenses. Your car for Uber (which earns income) needs maintenance, and you incur expenses too.

Maintenance expenses are given, and they are not the basis for assets and liabilities. You incur expenses to maintain your clothes, phones, houses, and other possessions.

Is a car an asset? Yes, it is, even if it depreciates and you earn no income on it.

Is buying a car a good financial decision? It depends.

If you earn ₦2mm monthly and you buy a ₦15mm car, the decision might be reasonable.

However, if you earn ₦300k a month and take on significant debt to buy the same car, you may be making a financially damaging decision.

The car remains an asset in both circumstances. The underlying factors are income and affordability.

The same logic applies to a mortgage.

We need to understand what these concepts mean in substance and how they relate to one another.

We also need to unlearn the confusion of an asset with an investment. They are not the same thing.

It’s incredibly difficult to educate Nigerians on finance.

Most just want the money. They don’t want the knowledge, the process, or the discipline it takes to build lasting wealth.

They want the gains without understanding what produces them.

Everyone in Nigeria has a location. Now every location has a postcode.

Today, NIPOST launches the National Digital Postcode System, and I’m speaking to you from the heart of it: our new GIS lab, where every corner of Nigeria is being mapped and coded.

No more “turn left after the blue gate.” Your postcode connects you to deliveries, e-commerce, emergency services, banking and government services, wherever you are.

After a successful pilot in Abuja, it’s now live nationwide.
Know your postcode: https://t.co/91HP6bVST3

Proud to lead the team building infrastructure that puts every Nigerian on the map.

My deepest gratitude to President @officialasiwajubat for his vision and support under the Renewed Hope Agenda, and to the Hon. Minister @bosuntijani , whose leadership in building Nigeria’s digital economy made this possible.

Thank you to the NIPOST @nipostngn family, our partners, and every Nigerian who joined the exercise . This is national infrastructure built by Nigerians, for Nigerians.
