What worries me is how a man with such stellar academic records could b so dull in thought and actions.

It really beats my imagination too

jerrywool:
The day I watched the debate between this man and Jimi Agbaje was the day I realized that Lagosians have made a big mistake. How can you be "sophisticated" yet deceived by an amala-coated tout who is not articulate in thought and speech.

I totally identify with you on this one. To say the least, I was embarassed on his behalf when I watched that debate.

@kubbiebrown...did you assess with ICAA post July (based on the changes introduced in July). I am thinking of waiting to get my professional membership certificate before applying for assessment due to the recently introduced changes.

ferdimako:
Does ur B.Sc have all the recent added courses? If u know u don't have all it takes to cut it ..don't waste the cash. Only work experience doesn't qualify one.

I got my BSc like 8 years ago, what I meant was that I just got chartered last year.

Well done to everyone making out time to share information here.

@ Pingu2k5 Did you claim points for work experience? I have about 6 years work experience, however, I just got qualified last year. I have decided to do my assessment with ICAA but I am scared as I do not know if they will recognize my pre-qualification work experience(seeing that the Accounting BSc alone usually doesn't cut it with all the assessing authorities).

pingu2k5:
Skills assessment is assessment of your qualifications. I had my assessment with ICAA; took about 5 weeks. Documents I submitted were ICAN certificate & transcript, Letter of Good Standing from ICAN, degree certificate & transcript and CV. I sent these documents via email.

If you want to claim points for work experience, you will have to apply for your experience to be assessed. This is skilled employment assessment. You can apply for the two assessments at the same.

@ pingu2k5 thanks for the information

Hi everyone, I would like to ask if there is any chartered accountant here that has assessed their qualifications and skills with CPA as I do not fully understand the information I have read on their website as they seem to be focused on skills assessment, whereas, qualifications need to be assessed first(by my own understanding). I am thinking of using CPA for my assessment simply because they have a processing period of 10 to 15 days compared to ICAA and IPA who process for 4 to 6 weeks. I would appreciate if any accountant here could share their experience with any of these processing bodies.

I am glad that you acknowledged that Nigeria is not a normal society. Most importantly, you found the system culpable.

And your omniscient Highness wants to apply the rules of sane societies to an abnormal society. Who is the fool now?

If there is no fuel, cancel the flight ahead of time, send bulk texts to intending passengers with apology and refund the fares. No! Airline operators want to cancel flights, retain the fares and throw rude staff in your face when you complain. And still your omniscient Highness wants people to gather around, blow some grammar and call it a day.

Nigeria remains the way it is because of people like you. Oh! I know your type. You will go home and beckon on God to fight for you in a case you could easily sort out yourself.



Next time, Aero staff will not be there. And when the trend continues, Aero will close shop. Business is about service delivery and not to rip customers off.

There you have it.

I absolutely agree with you on this, customer service is more or less non-existent in most of these airlines. I endured a frustrating 6 hours in Lagos airport last week Sunday waiting for an Arik Abuja-bound flight without any explanation whatsoever. After waiting till 9:45pm for a flight that was meant to be 4pm, I simply went back home and not even the staff that handed my luggage back to me offered an apology, they all just looked on like 'tough luck, try again'. How difficult is it to explain the true situation and apologize to your customers who are the reason you are in business! It beats me honestly! I have had to return from the airport again today because I missed my flight back to Lagos and 'there was no cashier to collect the rescheduling fee from me' at Abuja airport (according to the Arik staff, which she claimed was due to the high amounts of refunds they have had to pay thus making the cashiers run out of cash and leave their desks). This is a ticket that was paid for and not free; and I was even ready to pay the change fee, but yet again, they deny me from rescheduling my flight due to some flimsy reason that makes no sense whatsoever. And you needed to see the lady's expression, I'm like, seriously! It is really terrible and I must say in as much as I don't support violence, this serves Aero right, Arik had better watch out as they are sure to be next in line!

To be honest,I don't think I have ever come across an airline as useless as Arik air in my entire existence. I just got back from Abuja airport totally frustrated! I missed my flight at 1pm and I wanted to reschedule to 3pm, after spending 1 frustrating hour on the queue (with the Arik staff attending to only one person without success within this time), the Arik staff just announced that he had closed and could not attend to us anymore and we should wait for those on afternoon shift. By this time it was already 2 o clock and he said this in such an unapologetic manner like the tickets we had were handed out for free and not paid for! After waiting some more, the lady who attended to me eventually said 'the cashiers are not around, as such, there is no way she can reschedule my flight as she is not allowed to collect cash' (Apparently there had been a high request for refunds and the cashiers had left as they claimed there was no money to pay to those seeking refunds and preferred to stay away for fear of being attacked if they told passengers there was no cash). I'm like 'so what should I do?' and she goes 'I don't know'. I was so so frustrated and I'm thinking what kind of airline is this! Do they know the first thing about customer service! Who does this to her customers! I have had to come back home and I have vowed to say NEVER AGAIN TO ARIK! I cannot be treated like this for a paid service! This airline is the most expensive among the local airlines so it's not like its free. To be given this treatment just a week after delaying me for 6 grueling hours in Lagos airport last week Sunday without any apology or explanation for the delay is totally unacceptable! I can go on and on! The airline staff all need an intensive training course on customer service as it is obvious they will push themselves and their employer out of the market if they continue in this manner!

Thanks a bunch

Amefrica: Use old ...you always have to refill the questionnaire!

Good day house, for someone who is reapplying after a denial, do I need to use the old GC key and CIC log in details? bearing in mind that some of the answers to the study permit questionnaire will now have changed - e.g new course now has a CO-OP element whereas old course did not have this.

@jadapinkett, please how did you include your travel history? was it copies of visas in your passport or just a written statement?

@ChriGo...I have tried to send you a personal message but I could not because it said we are not connected. I have sent the blank message though. I guess it is when you reply that message that we can then connect

Good day house, I would please like to ask if the affidavit of support has a specific format and can anyone share the format if it exists

Thanks 2chains and newacca.

@newacca Please how did you apply to Humber? Did you go through ontariocolleges website or did you use the hard copy of the International Application form? Also, how did you go about paying your application fee?

I have a new Kaplan P6 study text(Finance act 2011)that I want to sell. If you are interested, please send an email to textbookp6@hotmail.com.

Finally sister sister ends and I must say it ended well. Thumbs up Wale Adenuga for exceeding my expectations.

largie: This is about Funke and her life but she went too low for the kind of projection she made of her integrity since the days of 'I want to know'. I did not belief the story going round about her and Femi Adebayo back but this shows she has something for married men.she is a home breaker. Islam permits men to marry up to four wives but it is easier said when you are not the woman to have another lady come after you.In yorubaland there is a saying that the cane used on the first wife is perfectly tucked away under this younger wife's roof. I will expect this big smile on Funke's face when Alhaji obeys the Islamic law to go for the third and fourth wife.
The problem with young ladies is that they want a finished product in men.life is a continuous process.The married men out there started from a humble point at one time why don't all these over circulated babes just humble themselves and find a man of their age to build life together with? Anyway Funke Akindele Almaroof congratulations and quite frankly now the real home video starts " alhaji slept in your room last night it is my turn tonight.

Well said!

azpekuliar: Feel the same way too. It's become unnecessarily long and boring. It started very well, but I've stopped following for over a month now. Should have wound up after the rescue from the kidnappers or with Nelly dying from AIDS or managing her condition. Or maybe its cos its thier 10th year anniversary, but still this one doesn't come close to 'oh father, oh daughter' which IMO is a Super Story classic.

I agree with u, should have ended when Greg died or something

vinderbilt: What's your favorite Super Story season? Is it "Oh Father Oh Daughter"? I want to know because I am putting up videos of the show online in a few weeks at my site http://africamars.com for free viewing.

Would you watch the show online?

My favourite season is 'One Bad Apple',I absolutely enjoyed it. The storyline was very good and there was a lot to learn from it.

I have always enjoyed Wale Adenuga's Superstory but the current 'Sister Sister' being aired is one that I do not seem to understand. I appreciate the lessons and societal ills revealed on the programme but all of a sudden, I think the program is being dragged unnecessarily. We have seen that Nelly caught AIDS from her wayward life but why introduce the twist of her fiance falling for her sister? Also why are new people like Chris' old schoolmate still being introduced at this stage when the program should be winding up? At this rate,how do they intend to end this program? As much as I have always liked the stories in Superstory,this one, I'm afraid is becoming rather annoying!

A friend's brother had an accident and was rushed to LASUTH, only to be told that they had no beds,then his family had to take him all the way to OAUTH where of, course, he eventually died. It is so sad how we toy with human existence in this country. I am ashamed of a government that considers removal of oil subsidy and conferment of honours at the forefront of its agenda when the medical system rots daily.

This family has been thrown into so much pain now because we do not have adequate health facilities and our leaders are there pretending like all is well.

With the current state of education in this country, we can only imagine the quality of doctors we produce. This is rather very unfortunate after over 50 years of independence. I was once hospitalized,only for the two young doctors, who probably graduated yesterday, to start debating about what exactly could be wrong with me, right in my presence. I thought, are these the people I am depending on to get well?

Just when will the Nigerian government place value on human life? It is so sad!

Hi house, I am sort of confused. I presently work in an industry in which i have the least interest, I just do not like the job however it pays my bills. But I currently have an offer in an industry which I have always wanted but the pay is like half of my current salary but this is a job I have always wanted. What do I do? I dont want a fall in my standard of living but at the same time I think I deserve to be happy on my job.

Thanks charlesegi, I actually want a hostel accommodation to rent for a short period, more like getting a bed space in a hostel.

I urgently need hostel accommodation in Lagos. Does anyone know of any and what it will cost?

As far as I am concerned, religious groups are yet to fully comply with this directive as I am woken up at 4.30am by a mosque in my area blaring so much noise and I imagine how people can make so much noise at that time without considering others still sleeping. Immediately,the mosque finishes, a church in the same area now starts their own service, equally with so much noise. As far as I am concerned, this is just been very inconsiderate cos you are just forced to wake up when all these noise starts.

i think the state government should introduce very stern penalties for non-complaince so that we can at least have sanity in Lagos and sleep in peace.

@poster
im always surprised when i see threads like this cos the world is looking at us nigerians as being fraudulent and we keep proving to them that we are.Posting this kind of thread on the internet,to me,is not going to help us rebuild the national image that we are trying to build so i think people should get wiser.the poster could have got help from talking to people not necessarily by putting our integrity as a nation in doubt considering that these authorities have access to all these things too.thank you

If I already have a first degree but I want a career change and decide to go for a second degree,though over 26,will this affect my chances of getting the visa?considering that i am applying for an undergraduate degree?
