I mean is He's lived such an impactful life and he died in his home and I mean, I Know about this profession. I mean I've known about him since way back second this guy come from a family of accountants Oh, I mean, I can tell her way. He says Yeah Yeah, and you know he founded in 1952 he founded the First indigenous chartered accounting firm in Africa, which is Achitzala Williams and company I mean and They've done so well. He's he was also the first president of the Institute of chartered accountants of Nigeria He's lived well. He's lived. Let me I mean We can't even talk the account in profession today without mentioning people like that. So yes, we're grateful So it's interesting. I want to ask a question for people like this What would make sense in terms of legacy? Shouldn't we have like, you know, like in Harvard take on people, you know, and they take on case studies So for instance in the accounting, I don't know People studying accounting in Nigeria if he is one of like the case study scenarios and all of that that they use, you know to be able to I'm very sure that I'm very sure maybe because I know that some of course that different Subjects, you know while writing your professional exams. There is the multi-disciplinary case study where you are presented with a case scenario And you're supposed to be able to make informed decisions, you know Based on your financial knowledge financial reporting and all that. So I'm sure that over time, you know, there would have been Cases that would have been attributed to him based on maybe how he's handled a controversial case or his thoughts about Setting policies or setting accounting standards, you know, so Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely So how hard goes out to the family? Yeah, I just want to quickly mention my Nigeria's secret service DSS I mean over the weekend there was just, you know, I actually stayed away from social media Because I had too many things to do. So I didn't really check what was going on But I just found out that Aisha Ahmed, she was arrested by the DSS They grilled her So according to the report They arrested her and detained her and they were grilling her in a charge of financial system Sorry, sorry the central bank of Nigeria in charge of the financial system She's in charge of financial system stability that according to NTA and of course it was on x She was arrested and detained over the alleged fraudulent acquisition of shares in Polaris bank titan Bank slash union bank. So The report added that CBN deputy governor is currently being interrogated on how the 300 million dollars To complete acquisition of union bank was raised by titan bank Um her arrest and really followed the arrest and detention of course of her boss the CBN governor himself godwin emir fele She was arrested on the 23rd Well, he was arrested on 23rd of March. So, I mean, um I've said this argument several times, but people have come countering the argument and argument and argument I keep on saying that these guys were under somebody's authority Why would you be arresting them? It's just like for me now in my company If my staff goes ahead to do something I must have authorized it. So that's why I must be very careful Whatever we put out and all of that Shouldn't there be some level of okay who was in charge and you know, but they say they are supposed to be an independent body The the president just gives the Signs of on some things Then they are the ones that are the ones that implement You understand so implementation is where some of these irregularities happen So I leave the argument for the people to but why is she Okay, because she it's a department. Oh, okay. All right. All right. So we're taking right now Let's discuss the election tribunal result It's monday. We don't have a choice. We'll be right back
