Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, My Fellow Stockbroker

Let me quickly say well-done and congratulations to my brother, the very influential Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede. I have just heard that he was recently made a Fellow by my institute – The Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers.

As a failed stockbroker, yes o. My number na CIS 456, I remain very much excited at this conferment for the simple reason that stockbrokers who form a critical part of the capital market ecosystem remain the “poor cousins.”

They remain bereft of inspiration, mop around the market in a dour lethargic state, lacking the vigour to push and sell the market to a widening space which is increasingly showing lethargy towards the market and all that it portends.

The other day the SEC sent for me. They wanted to have a session on ways they could better regulate the space and I agreed to the meeting. On the morning of the meeting, they called that their oga dey purge. I just laughed and continued with my life.

The CIS has scored a major victory pulling in someone of Aig’s calibre to their ranks. Aig comes with the weight of vision. He has shown from all of his doings that he is a leader with a deep penetrative vision and we know, he would bring these values and push to bear as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Stockbroker.  Well-done my Lord.
