Replied in Is an HMO worth it if you are self employed? · 5 days ago

We need more of these stories. Health workers deserve credit.

Replied in Which sport do you think Nigeria is most underrated in? · last week

Athletics, no contest. Our sprinters and jumpers keep reaching finals with almost no support at home. Imagine what proper training camps would do.

ICAN for accounting. It is still a big deal with Nigerian employers.

Replied in Do you know who your local government chairman is? · last week
