It's almost everywhere bro. MBA na pure water for Yankee and you will earn less with it. I used to work for Coca-Cola and they pay MBA graduates less than they pay truck mechanic who hardly finish high school cos the skill is in demand while MBA is everywhere. The laws of demand and supply will always have it way with few exceptions like MBA from ivy league schools. 2 Likes |

ppogba: You should have just ignored him. I was a pure science student. One of the best during my days, but I ended up studying Accounting for my first degree. How? After joining the military, I wanted a degree so badly. Then UNIBEN was running part time engineering programs, but I detest PT, so I wrote JAMB and chose Accounting. Some of my friends that went for medicine and engineering did not do better than me in secondary school. 4 Likes |

Covenant97: It is a highly over-rated exam and only for ego-tripping purposes. Most tellers in the banks are ACA I also know a few POS operators who are ACA The funny thing is that if you ever decide to leave Nigeria, the moment you board your plane, the certificate becomes a worthless paper. ACCA will pity you and say you should go and write 4 exams, do their PER and complete an online learning. CPA will make you rewrite almost all their exams and spend close to $13,000. Most Fellows I know here has even forgotten they ever got ACA and are now battling CPA In a nutshell, ICAN is now as useless as COREN and other professional certificates in naija. Its just a waste of money and time just to impress family and friends 3 Likes 1 Share |

I strongly believe ICAN,CIBN,CIS NIM are greatly overrated. If you wish to go for any certification go for an international certification like CFA,ACCA,NEBOSH, OPITO CERTIFIED TRAININGS for those in the oil and gas company. With these certifications, you can work in any company in the world. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

I would rather you invest that time doing ACCA. You would be killing two birds with one stone. You can't use ICAN outside Nigeria but ACCA can be used within and outside Nigeria. 1 Like |

@covenant97 You can't call yourself a serious Accounting professional in Nigeria and you don't have your ICAN, at least. You'll lose out on good job opportunities after your entry level stage. That's all I have to tell you. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Chiedumaga: Yes. When I was still working in Nigeria, several POS agents that I personally knew had ICAN. Oneof them even created business card and was using it to oppress. And thing is they all went into business after they got tired of the labour market. |

I don't think it is. There's a difference between how much accountants who have ICAN earn and those who don't. At least, is have friends in both categories. 1 Like |

Komu1048: You have not in anyway hurt my feelings. I was just out to correct the erroneous impression you were trying to create. The best graduating student in my son's .secondary school last year was a female commercial student. Right from JS 1 thru SS 3, she was undoubtedly the best. The school's mgt, staff, students and parents were shocked when she opted for commercial subjects in SS. This is a girl that will cope effortlessly in whatever course be it art or sciences. There are others like that studying accounting after advise from parents or experienced relatives. |

Cadillac15: Out of all have said,it’s Canada you picked out ? If you don’t have your local professional qualification nobody will grant you audience in the first place . Writing CPA is not bad since they don’t use IFRS. What’s the big deal writing CPA exams ? Since it’s required to practice in such economy or country .Who says it’s worthless ? Please get your facts straight . |

Covenant97: OP, ICAN is not overrated in any way. It is still one of the very best professional body in Nigeria today in terms of quality of members, credible examination process, international recognition and professional standards. If you’re looking out to become a well rounded professional Accountant in Nigeria, then ICAN is your best bet. If you are looking for a get out of poverty certificate, look elsewhere. As for the over-saturation, I don’t think the market for qualitative professional Accountant is saturated. ICAN was founded in 1965 and till today, we still have less than 60k members living, dead and retired. The other one that was created in 1992 now has about 200k members. So you see, there is a big difference. There is still a huge market for ICAN members in sectors were competency and professionalism are top priority. 3 Likes |

Accountancy is a noble profession. It is one of oldest professors having started 1365 after a treatise written by Luca Pacioli in Italy ��. Work of accountants can never be replaced instead it will keep undergoing changes in line with modern technology and needs. Accounting will stop when money will no longer used for settlement. |
