"We are still making more consultations with the medically experienced ones and even here in Nairaland. Please we also want your suggestions.
One of my siblings will also come here and she will be helping me to attend to questions as well as updates"



The above statement is quite worrying as it gives the impression a firm decision on the next step hasnt been made and hence no clear mark in sight, I thought we have gone beyond the suggestion stage and the donation is for a specific line of action.

If at this stage being in a foreign land without family is giving Folake cold feet, then it seems priorities are definitely not in line with most of the nairalanders, especially those that have contributed money and prayed to ensure that she is completely healed.

The bottomline is we do not know the next stage of action, hence we do not know how much it will cost and not in a position to determine how much is actually needed.

It is very encouraging to see so much help coming through for your sister and I join the others in praying she will pull through and be completely healed. I second the questions asked by Chaircover, as it helps to address the financial problem appropriately. How much is the target we are working to and how much is left to hit the mark. I understand from your previous posts that 6 sessions of chemo is needed, is this a preliminary treatment before the main operation in Ghana?.

I second the motion that you upgrade your internet plan to 24 hrs access, as not only do you need it to update your ever growing supporters , you also need it to ensure you are aware of what is going on with regards to funds and assistance that might be available to you and your sister.

I came on this page last week and it looked like all that was needed was money for the 6 sessions and when I saw the balance had hit over 500k , I felt all the funds needed had already been contributed and switched off. This is obviously a misinterpretation on my part,of which answers to Chaircover's questions will help to avoid in future.

Lets have a new countdown figure of what we are working to , objectives are easily achieved when there is an identifiable milestone in sight.

I look forward to more good news with regards to Folake's health

@ Kingolaola, sorry to hear about your sister's plight, is there a number i can get through to you on

Thanks

I have not assumed, i have only based my comments on the information provided,which of my comments are not factuals?, i would like to clarify

I believe you wont be making so much noise if they had offered you enough money to live on the fast lane

It is common practice to be paid far lower than the client is paying your employers for your services, my oyinbo friends works for one of the big consultancy company here in the UK and his salary is about £80,000 per annum but the client pays £2018 per day for his services, i would leave you to do the sums yourself. So no criime has been committed if they pay you N110k for every N800k they receive,afterall you agreed to the contract.

In all things confidentiality is important,you might succeed in taking them to court but no employer wants a disloyal staff.

The importance of the certificate is determined by the employer,it wasnt until about 4 years ago that it became compulsory for all central govt finance directors to be chartered accountants and and i know a lot of them with over 25 yrs experience who are not chartered and they are very good.

@ Sharpman,

With an average of 73%, i would suggest you contact KPMG, Delloittes and Arthur Anderson,they would give you the best training that is if you want to work for an accounting firm.

Alternatively you could also try the oil & gas industry, i heard KPMG is recruiting for shell at the moment

P1,P2 AND P3 are the last three papers of ACCA called the core papers, while 3.3 is one of the optional papers popularly called semi-finals

@Sharpman,

Congratualations.

That means your average scores in your ACCA exams so far is >65%

@Sharpman,

Oxford Brookes is highly regarded in the UK and in the last 5 years have won the award of best new university in the Sunday Times Guide.

ACCA would provide you with better prospects due to its international recognition and continuous development programmes.

There are 14 papers divided into 3 different levels and before you can register for any exams, you ought to have been a registered student for at least 6 months.
The ACCA members also contribute to the development of the students by running several revision classes at a discount rate.

I belong to the Central London Members Network and we provide revision classes in May and November for up to six papers and charge only £5 for a 1hr 30 mins lecture given by top lecturers from BPP, FTC LCA etc and these lectures are held at the ACCA office at Lincoln’s Inn and University College London.

You also have the option of Opting for the Oxford Brookes Degree programme which would qualify you for an award of BSc in Applied Accounting when you have written your project and for you to really benefit from this you need an average mark of at least 54% in your ACCA exams to get a 2.2 otherwise an average mark of 50 would confine you to third class which almost defeats the purpose of the programme.

Passing the 14 papers makes you an affiliate and not a member, once you have completed your supervised 36 month training, you then apply for membership.

Once you become a member you could equally opt for the 21 month MBA programme at Oxford Brookes.

ACCA would normally give you 10 yrs to finish the programme and it is up to you to decide on how fast you want to go bearing in mind you can only sit a maximum four papers at a time.

I had a senior friend who had ICAN from Nigeria with over 20 years practical experience and he was only exempted from 6 papers. If you have ACCA and wanted to do ICAN I guess you would still need to do Nigerian Taxation and each country has different approaches to tax.

I am not quite certain ICAN evolved out of ACCA, I think it evolved out of ICAEW (England & Wales)
