hello nairalanders,
i enrolled 4 NIIT training ,but i wanted to register 4 oracle but they told me that there is no space now unless by january.But i really need the programe now.They advised me to go for MCSE(microsoft certified system engeer).I studied Economics in my first degree.
Do you think it is wise going for this option?

I need ur advise urgently

well,the issue if ICEN has been very controversial .After submitting my initial contribution,I went into my subconscious.Economics is not a discipline anybody can just jump into or pick  on the street without sweating.I think ICEN wants to rubbish Economics.They want to make Economics an all comers affair.Look,you cannot pick economics on the street.Economics is research oriented and it is therefore not meant for little minds.

So,if you want to be a professional Economist go to the university and study economics.You can also contact Prof.Charles Soludo,Sumuelson,Prof.E.J.Nwosu etc and ask them what made
them professional economists.Research! Research !!Research!!!

[b]I THINK ECONOMICS AS A FIELD OF STUDY HAS GROWN SO LARGE THAT HAVING A PROFESSIONAL BODY THAT WILL REGULATE THE ACTIVITIES OF ITS INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS IS NOW A NECESSITY.AS THE WORLD BECOMES SO SOPHISTICATED AND GLOBALIS ED ,THE SERVICES OF THE PROFESSIONAL ECONOMIST IS BEING SOUGHT AFTER AND THAT THEREFORE REQUIRES THAT ECONOMICS MUST HAVE AN UMBRELLA THAT WILL GUIDE THE ACTIVITIES OF ITS PRACTITIONERS.

I KNOW THOSE WHO MAY BE OPPOSING THIS IDEA SO VEHEMENTLY ARE NON ECONOMISTS OR THOSE WHO HAVE PAROCHIAL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT ECONOMICS ENTAILS. OUR MAJOR PROBLEM AT THIS POINT IN TIME SHOULD NOT BE ABOUT THE ORIGIN OR HISTORY OF THE WORD "CHARTERED".IT SHOULD BE MADE KNOW THAT NON OF THE PROFESSIONAL DISCIPLINES EVOLVED IN NIGERIA .ECONOMICS IS NOT A NIGERIAN PROFESSIONAL LIKEWISE ACCOUNTING.THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT ACCOUNTANTS RECOGNISED EARLIER THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A PROFESSIONAL BODY WHICH THE ECONOMISTS(BCOZ OF THE NATURE OF THEIR TRAINING) NEGLECTED.NOW,THAT ECONOMISTS HAVE WOKEN UP,I THINK THEY SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED .WHAT HAPPENS IF THE CBN GOVERNOR EMBEZZLES FUNDS?WHAT HAPPENS IF THE CHIEF ECONOMIC ADVISER TO THE PRESIDENT MISDIRECTS THE PRESIDENTS? WHAT HAPPENS TO A CHIEF EXECUTIVE WHO MISMANAGES HIS ORG?ETC ALL THIS AMOUNTS TO PROFESSIONALISM AND ECONOMICS BEING THE CHIEF MANAGEMENT SCIENCE SHOULD HAVE A PROFESSIONAL BODY.

ANOTHER QUESTION WE SHOULD ASK IS,WHAT MAKES A DISCIPLINE PROFESSIONAL?CAN A DISCIPLINE ACHIEVE THE PROFESSIONAL STATUS BY MERE BEARING THE NAME CHARTERED?

I AM PRESENTLY A FINAL YEAR EDU/ECONOMICS STUDENT AND I HAVE BEEN LONGING TO SEE ECONOMICS HAVE A PROFESSIONAL BODY.THANK GOD FOR THIS OPPROTUNITY WHETHER FAKE OR REAL,AT LEAST WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE.


WELL,I DO NOT HAVE MUCH TO SAY
