The quality of journalism has risen in Nigeria, yet, financial reporting receives a poor grade from me.
Because they do not understand some mathematical concepts, journalists confuse increase with decrease, gain with loss, speed with acceleration, and so forth.
I should like to teach a 10-hour course for financial analysts to clear these things up. As you can imagine, when an article opens with such errors, I run far away from it :( Yet, it's not so difficult when you know how.
Maybe someone else will teach the class? Lagos Business School? Uddin? Bismarck-Rewane? Totally needed.
