resumed my MBA lectures this week @ University of Northampton Biz school, taking 4 modules this term: HR, MKT, FIN & ACC,Strategic Management, been fun so far and understandable, its only gone crazy this night while trying to study the Balance sheet structuring part of accounting, it's hard as transactions get complex on the financial statement, please does anyone have an idea of the best textbook to use in studying for beginners in Accounting and Finance like me?

Let me give you a list of books i use, maybe it might be of help.

HRM ======= Dessler, 12th ed. Human Resource mgt

Marketing === Kotler, Armstrong. Principles of marketing 4th edi

Finance (my specialisation) == Dubofsky Miller, Derivatives
Rose Marquis, Money and Capital Markets 10th ed
Bodie,Kane, Marcus. Investments 8th ed
Chandra. Financial Mgt 8th ed

Strategic mgt =========Thomas Wheelen, David Hunger. Strategic Mgt and Business policy 11th ed
In addition to library materials.

Why don't you concentrate and finish this programme first? Someone in 100l medicine is already talking about salary i wonder what those doing their Nysc will say. You still have a long way to go.

In education, cramming (also known as mugging or swotting) is the practice of working intensively to absorb large volumes of informational material in short amounts of time. It is often done by students in preparation for upcoming exams. Cramming is often discouraged by educators because the hurried coverage of material tends to result in poor long-term retention of material (see spacing effect).[1]

Cramming usually occurs during the revision week, also known as swotvac or stuvac (student vacation) in some Commonwealth countries.

The pressure to excel academically has led to cramming behavior among students as young as five years old.

Criticism for this study mechanism has long been a difficult topic to address and overcome for administrators and teachers of all ages, and numerous studies have been conducted researching the effectiveness of cramming. In a 2007 study conducted by University of South Florida psychologist Doug Rohrer, it was determined that last minute studying reduces retention of material and may hinder the learning process in the long term.[6] Additional studies in rote learning, or memorization, have shown that relying solely on memorization techniques reduces the overall retention of information

Well I wonder where you kept your sense of reasoning his introducing non intrest banking because it has worked in the top oil producing country so why can;t it work in Nigeria many of the school in Eu are tution free yet a child of 3yr in Nigeria pay 40 to 50 thousand niara all this bulshit say the truth and stop your one side way of life.

What truth do you want him to say or are you going to force your own opinion down his throat?

juman:
America know this nah. Muslims are not be treated well, by the arrogant power.

How are muslims not being treated well? What rights and privileges are Muslims denied? What of Christians in other Islamic states, are they being treated well there?

You better throw this your primitive mentality to the trash bin

Dis Guy:
it is perfectly safe to say you are one of those that jump to reply thread without reading any of its content

Thanks, i was about saying the same thing to him.

I wonder why he is yet to buy his own PhD

juman:
Let the Al Qaeda confirm it first, before we believe it.

I dey laugh oo. See how America dey celebrate as if they killed a nation, just one man.

If he was truly killed, many people will replace him[b] except if there is justice, certainly there will be peace.[/b]

Oga, which justice are you talking about? Who is being unjust and how

“The leadership of Niger Delta Liberation Force (NDLF) hereby categorically states that the purported threat of bomb blast on 1st October, 2011 to mar the 51st independence celebration from the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) does not represent the interest of the good people in the Niger Delta struggle and we, NDLF, a very strong organization, condemns the threat of the MEND- planned October 1 celebration bomb blast’.''

This is exactly what i expect from northern leaders regarding boko haram etc

VoodooDoll:
Funds from Northern States under Sharia will likely be placed in Sharia compliant banks and products.

The Federal govt may face pressure to put some of the "reserves" in sharia compliant banks and products.

Interesting times.

Sharia banking/finance is a distraction, Nigeria has bigger issues.  Sharia banking if implemented properly will be neutral to Nigeria's economy.   But knowing Nigeria, we will use these new products as a way to further deepen our ethnic and religious differences.

That is the fundamental idea, nothing else. Any body who denies that is only deceiving himself.

manny4life:
Exactly my thoughts; WHEN IS HIS TENURE EXPIRING? This man pisses me off daily with his imposing; he's about to throw turmoil in our great country. While people are decrying about the so-called Islamic banking, here he is instituting Islamic principles to Non-Banking Financial Institutions. If he is Pro-Islamic agenda leader, let him leave the CBN, we need conventional practices and principles [b]NOT [/b]Islamic Principles.

Don't worry, some islamic banking apologists will soon come after you, just because you expressed your thought and enlightened opinion.

But who cares

Who cares about sanusi and his ranting

I only care about the economy and the people of Nigeria he is about to plonk into another round of recession.

Remii:
^^^so you think sanusi is the problem, eh, those who sold dummies for us and made away with billions of naira in failed banks are better, shey.

How do you mean?

I never said sanusi is the problem.

But he is obviously part of the problem

When is sanusi's tenure expiring

sonas:
hey, it's good to see u two idiots at your thing again.keep living the 'lie'.

Desist from making silly comments on people you know little or nothing about. Jarus knows his onus and i for once have no reason to doubt his claims. He has demonstrated his intelligence at various spheres and yet, appears very humble.

In fact, there is nothing impossible about what he said. Someone who worked hard at the university level will find no professional exam difficult, talk less of one who made a first class in Economics from one of Nigeria's best universities.

Rather than insult him i would suggest you ask him (humbly) how he got to such level of brilliance

Odunnu:
I took eight in my first semester and four in my second.
@Ola: I wish you good success

WTF is wrong with Nigerian schools Eight courses in a semester of about 3 months, haba!

This is supposed to be a ''masters'' degree program for goodness sake.

How then will you master the eight courses within 3 months?

I have spent almost 3 months now designing marketing plans for few MNCs even though my Uni is not a top rated UK univ. How then will i be able to do so if i was to take eight courses per semester

One thing i enjoy about UK univs is their level of flexibility, you learn a lot under little stress.

I nearly died in our Nigerian university during undergrad, taking about 11 course per semester and yet i know very little of those courses. No knowledge was gained in the real sense of it after taking about 11 courses, i only struggled to ensure that each was completed no matter how.

Here in my MBA, why do i need to take courses in micro-macro economics when i already have a degree in economics? Unnecessary repetition if you ask me. Why do i have to take a course in inferential statistics when i will be taking a course in research methodology towards the end of the program?

Taking too many courses per semester confuse students the more and thereby make them pay little attention to each. At the end, overall knowledge is zero or at best very minimal.

It's well.

Good luck in your exams

You will make it.

Orikinla:
If we follow legal terms, majority of Nigerian men are rapists, because they do not know how to accept NO S-E-X, NO VEX. Majority of them forced their girlfriends to sleep with them and DATE R-A-P-E is common in Nigeria. They even boast about their intimate exploits of forcing girls to lay them.

Making video of the victim and spreading it around was the most heinous act committed by these idiots in addition to the rape case

But you sure say you no follow for the Nigerian men wey you wrote about?

moderatorr:
Those guys underestimated the power of the internet!

They may not even know internet exist. from where Absu is located it will be hard to tell if those guys knew about internet

But most likely they may have heard of yahoo

Where is that worthless coogar who claimed this heinous crime could be hoax?

The perpetrators may have issued a life threatening warning to the family not to ever mention the case

That is typical of Abia state govt

The same Abia where an occultist chopped off someone's face

This governor and the commissioner should be arrested for conspiracy

They obviously know something about this crime that is why they are covering it up

The victim should speak up nothing will happen they are just giving empty threats

coogar:
yes, you did
don't lie - you posted facebook profiles that other evening.
when you were warned, you said they should clear their names in the nearest police station.
asking me to check a moronic link plucked out of your rectum isn't the point - you might have edited your post later, you fuckwit!

victim identified by witnesses(same people you posted their pics as culprits)
your point was - police should do a body match. you never asked for any witnesses to come up. you said police have enough to go with the video clip [b]only/b], you lummox!

why shouldn't i blame a half-baked graduate who does not know the difference between a witness and a culprit?
does it mean the same thing in the village you hailed from? what a serial w@nker!!!
you are so poor in spirit, everything appears to you in black and white.

claiming victory when the victor is me - ahn ahn, it doesn't work that way.
i have battered your face long enough in this debate to even be relevant - the only thing keeping you here is your lack of decorum.
you are genetically foolish. anyone who does not know the difference between culprit and witness should not be reckoned with.
you should go and shoot your teachers - they cheated your parents with your child development.

better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
chamber 2, you were born a fool!

What a waste of manhood

Always making baseless claims

No critical thinking skill

No robust analytical ability

No sense of reasoning

And yet he claims to have gone to school

Go and die alone

Ewu!

Go and check who posted those facebook pictures. You claim to have brains but cannot comprehend

Go and check it here: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-765444.128.html

I never posted any facebook pictures or details

You are a dimwit

The fact is that the victim have been identified without her having to report to the police, that has been my point.

It cannot possibly be that linda posted the pictures and names of ordinary volunteers online, she can't be that daft.

If she did then you don't have to blame any one who went in there and copied the pictures and also clearly stated that those pictures were sourced from her blog.

I can see you have been defeated and proven worthless

The best thing is to allow you die alone in shame

Rest In Piss (R.I.P)
No matter how silly you are I cannot wish you death because your case is still redeemable--contact your psychiatrist fast

Sagamite:
Now this is example of why I call human beings cretins:

http://ngcareers.com/2010/10/graduates-needed-at-a-quick-service-restaurant

Why do you have to be a graduate and be less than 27 to be able to fry chicken? Why do they need to be a graduate of catering to work in a place where the food making will be standardised anyway?

Did the person responsible for recruiting have any brain cells?

CRETINS get on my nerves, mehn!!!

I once told you that Nigerian employers/recruiters seem not to know exactly what they are looking for in candidates.

I mean, why does someone need a 2.1 to be a bank teller and you must also not be more than 24 (access bank)?

Why do i need a first class to be a customer relations officer in a bank? Something simple training and a few soft skills is adequate

Why do I need a 2.1 in computer science to work in a call centre?

These are the reasons for the proliferation of candidates with 2.1 and first class, they just need to get it by all means possible.

These are jobs meant for diploma holders and maybe ssce and yet they need 1st, 2.1 who must not be more than 24.

coogar:
you are a lobotomized ape!
you got the pics on facebook, you even told us the other dude was his friend on facebook and you know the number of friends he's got on facebook.
then you did your own mental body match and you concluded the body structure of the fools in the video and the ones in the pics matched.
how you got that done - only heaven knows!

you are a tool. i claimed the video could have been hoax. . . . .once again you have shown the character of a half-baked graduate!

the victim has been found, you troglodyte.
she has been found with her mum but she's unwilling to testify!

it seems you are off the pace with this incident - how won't you be?
your brain processes information at the speed of snail.

lemme keep you updated.

- the victim has been found with her mum.
- she was reluctant to give evidence at first for fear of being mauled but i think she later cooperated!
- she led the investigators to the crime scene.

so you go on with your ridiculous theory that the case could be solved without the victim and the crime scene.
just let me know when they your parents put your hut for sale to get your freedom in prison.
i have about 20,000 naira to buy that hut - i really want to know the kind of water they gave you to have made you this dumb!

What a mule!

First, someone else posted a picture containing the facebook details of the guys, go and check it out ewu.

From there i was able to know the number of their friends. In the same Linda's blog which i referenced it was stated that they seem to be friends on facebook. That said.

I still think you are  billy 

How come she was identified without her reporting?

How come the incident didn't occur in zamfara but in Abia as you claimed?

How come the guys are students of Absu and not Futo?

How come it was so easy to find the girl and possibly the culprits out of 150M Nigerians?

How come the case is being investigated without having to wait until the victim reports?

How come the same reason i gave became exactly the situation she was reluctant to give evidence at first for [b]fear of being mauled [/b]but i think she later cooperated! ?

Just learn from me, i am your father

Definition of billy-- billy is the name of my runaway dog. Billy disappeared since 2008 and is yet to return home

coogar:
you are a mongolian .
lindaikeji mentioned their names as volunteers/witnesses. idiotic half-baked nigerians like yourself went on facebook to search for their names, lifted their pictures and they have been circulating the pics on the internet. should we blame linda for your sheer obduracy?
what is there to hide in the names of volunteers helping to solve a case?

the irony -
you are now asking me about the confidentiality and secrecy yet you were the one posting pictures of innocent people on the forum.
even when you were warned - you stupidly dragged your family name in the mud by uttering they should go to the police station and clear their names. who has baseless thinking between me and you? like i have said, you are half-baked. your intelligence quotient needs a powerful electron microscope to be read!

brainless human being!

Oh! This is my worst encounter with a brainless zombie

Did i get those pictures from facebook? Me?

FYI, i got those pictures from the same Linda, i got it from her blog site. She is the moderator/administrator of that site and should be able to moderate/remove any unwanted post. In fact, the pictures i got were posted by Linda herself and i referenced it appropriately and i have NEVER visited those guys' facebook page. All what i posted were gotten from the blog and i provided the links.

What is then so hard for your little head to comprehend?

That is not even the bone of contention. You claimed the video is hoax and now the truth is gradually emerging.

You wanted the girl to report before investigations are done and now you have been proven silly.

Investigations are on top gear as i type with or without the victim.

This is a case that is capable of painting Nigeria black more in the international community and you want the govt to wait until the victim reports before investigations are done, because for you it will be impossible to conduct investigations without the victim reporting and without a crime scene.

I never knew you were this silly.

Now there is information that the crime scene has been identified, how? Even without the victim reporting?

I have told you to bury your head in shame.

the fact you were ostracised by your community does not mean you have to go about displaying your stupidity.

coogar:
that is because you and saharareporters are the most imbecilic twats in the world.
lindaikeji has screamed her lungs out that the pictures bandied about are volunteers who are helping to solve the case - they are not the culprits.
half-baked nigerians like yourself cannot understand the difference between a witness/volunteer and a culprit.

some of the comments under that article -

--these are not the suspects they are volunteers helping to find suspects

SAHARA REPORTERS, SAHARA REPORTER,  THESE pictures are pictures of the people that voluntered to help find the culprits and not the culprits themselves, why are we nigerians so foolish and dumb, now you have ruined the image of thos trying to help what have you gained. stuuupiiid people, i wonder how you concluded they were the ones since no face was shown except that of the girl


re-this is so wrong

Ifeanyi is a volunteer working to unmask the people", I smell a rat in this posting, who ever posted this might know the despoiler, tell us how you know Ifeanyi. I can go as far as saying that you are an accomplice in this despicable act, how many young Nigerian men volunteers for anything? they are also asking for money like the fool who asked for one million naira in the tape, please lets investigate whoever made this post, because the person we are looking for might just be standing right in front of us

once again, i have proven chamber2 needs a brain transplant!
neurologists should just gather spermflakes and inject into your brain cavity.
if you know what is good for yourself and family, you better go and delete the pictures you posted on this thread. when they come for your arse and haul you into gaol, your parents would have to sell their only house to cop your freedom!

I know you will never give-up typical of imps like you.

If those guys are volunteers as you claim then Linda must be the most silly human on earth to have posted their names online.

What happens to confidentiality and secrecy of identity in cases like this?

Your critical thinking skill is baseless, your education foundation-less and no wonder you are senseless

coogar:
your parents need to pay for your brain transplant - they should exchange your dead brain cells with that of a pregnant camel.
you are so poor in spirit you cannot even pay attention.
i think i need to rush to the nearest atm, cash some money and buy you artificial intelligence!

apparently, the pictures of the people you have been posting are the pictures of the people trying to help the police solve the case.
they are witnesses according to the saharareport article. now, if you don't know the difference between a witness and a culprit, how the f[i]u[/i]ck did you get an access to the internet? where are the wardens of the psychiatric hospital you dwell to hold you down?

So, the pictures and even names of supposed [b]eye witnesses[/b] are supposed to be made public?

You and the sahara reporters must be very silly.

How in hell (where you live) can any sensible human post the names and pictures of witnesses in a case delicate as this on the internet?

Where has it ever happened that pictures of those who can possibly lead to the identification of crime suspects are made public?

If that is true then somebody somewhere is trying to cover up something in this case

You desperately need brain surgery

[b]No investigation, No conviction.[/b] Mumu  

Case closed

coogar:
minister said identified!!
there has been no arrest!

are you too thick to understand?

Whether arrested or identified it has only proved my points- investigations need to be commenced whether the victim reports or not. What we have on ground is enough evidence to commence full investigations and i am sure those pursuing this case are not as deluded as you are.

debosky:
A lot of the muppets on this thread are simply arguing for the fun of it - they have little or no interest in whether the incident happened or not, they just want to be right.

Not very surprising with the number of deranged lunatics roaming around on nairaland - they can't distinguish issues to be handled with levity from those that are grave and should be handled with all seriousness.

This is what i have been saying since. this is a serious case and not what the govt will have to fold arms and wait for the victim to report before any action is made. It's been verified that the incident occurred and one of the suspects have been arrested. Yet, some scumbags here say it's a hoax

sirmichael:
pls can some one teach well o how to hack any thing

coogar will even teach you how to ra.pe in addition

splitnaija:
Dunce, try and reason for once in your lifetime. The video will provide leads to those who will unravel the mystery, some of the names already mentioned are some of these leads being referred to here. Idi.ot.
Were those names just mentioned? Why didn't they mention your name? But they might when either they watch the video over and over again and see your ugly face or these leads are able to point you out cos I'm damn sure your one of them. A picture is worth a thousand words . . . ,  bootly-licker
