A place where I organise the chaos of my mind
I received the book during a gift exchange time in my office. I must confess that I discounted the book as one that would have nothing new to teach me beyond what’s common knowledge. And maybe I was right to have assumed what will be entailed in the book will be common knowledge. What I […]
The end of a thing is greater than the beginning. It doesn’t matter the measure of energy you put at the beginning if the end is not pleasant. It doesn’t matter the amount of enthusiasm you show at the beginning if you did not see it through. A slow steady effort that ensures you finish […]
2 years ago, I looked at my library and new books were nearly non-existent. It has been a while since I bought new books. So I decided I was going to take a large chunk of money to fill my library. I budgeted N100,000. I was on a trip and made a stop in OAU […]

One was an Investment Banking position, another was a Cybersecurity position which I later changed to Data and Analytics and the last was for a Project Finance position.
