Sorry bro, the world have moved beyond ICAN. All I need to learn is how to prompt AI accounting and all professional accounting operations and skills will be in my hands. 48 hrs is more than enough to learn that.
After learning your prompt AI accounting in 48hours, put it on your CV and go apply for a job or go and put it on your Upwork account and get a remote job online.....goodluck

Someone that I know is already saving up 200k that he'll use to write the exam on November and na corper like me ooo.

Money wey he for use chop or use it to do another meaningful thing. He was even the one that showed me the video day before yesterday.
This is why many youths complain the country is hard

Writing an ICAN exam is one of the best investments you can make as a youth corper.

Consult widely before drawing your conclusions.

ICAN changed my life and all the mates that wrote it with me (100%) are doing very very well.

I cannot think of any other professional membership that provides the leverage ICAN does on the scale it does.

Away from politics.

Someone doing a kitchen makeover has asked me if I would like to take the old fittings. They all look in very good condition & our kitchen size and layout looks similar, but I doubt they are identical.

How easy is it adapting one kitchen fittings to another?

From experience, it it often cost-effective to take an offer like this?

How easy is it to find a tradesman who would do the adaptation?

Cancelling permanent residence is an overkill, except if the UK is becoming a kangaroo society, trying to please a base? But that doesn't mean you begin to say stupid things you know you can never get legal backing for (even some Brits are already speaking out against it). Even the 10-year route to ILR for skilled workers is still being tinkered with because of the legal backlash that may occur, so Farage had better not get his hopes too high. He's even under pressure now after the Trump visit with all the proposed US investments, of which though we can't trust tump but if it works could see the UK economy boucing back strongly which won't be good news for Reform which I think it's the reason they are trying to up the stakes with this silly ilr ban, come on, somone must be drunk with that kind of thinking. Nonsense!
Anyone potentially affected should take a brace position and plan alternatives.

The UK is ultimately going to become more nationalist with minorities and vulnerable groups being scapegoated even by Labour as they are chasing the tailwind of reform. I expect Labour to roll out some very restrictive policies against legal migrants in the coming weeks to try to take the wind out of Reforms sail.

Ultimately, everyone other than the stereotypical white British will likely be hammered and blamed at some point in time as nationalists gain in the polls.

The UK's path to a turnaround is likely to be in the events that the US strong rightwards swings result in severe economic and social setbacks much like UK's experience with Brexit became a lesson for other right-wing parties in Europe to shelve the idea of leaving the EU.

What is the average transaction cost for taking up a public offer e.g in case of Sterling IPO.

Since the IPO and market price are similar, I guess the sweetner could only be the difference in the transaction charge?

Nigeria my country.

An ex governor whose monthly salary is no more than 2-3 miliion monthly at any point in time has amass properties worth billions in upscale US towns..not counting the properties in Nigeria. His supreme court justice wife, salary no more 2million monthly has the property registered in her name.

His kid attends some of the best schools abroad, he doesnt use any othe world class hospitals he built in Rivers to treat his ailment..he rather travel abroad.

You in Nigeria, struggling with the factors in Nigeria, writing for God knows how much, that this situation makes sense.

Good day to you all.
Please I need advice on this.
I woke up and found my patio door to the garden broken.
I called my insurance and was told I have £350 excess and their own vendor quoted £623. They requested that I pay £350 while they pay the rest. But I found a local vendor that quoted me £330.

What should I do please?
Its due to thermal stress. It happens to newly installed glass panes where not enough gaps were left for expansion or impurities in the glass cause a fracturing of the pane as it expands at a different pace from the glass molecules.

Most window and door installations comes with warranty period. If it is, get in touch and ask them to remediate it before insurance.

Are you sure this is Chile or Europe?

How come they don't look Hispanic but "olive white"?

Even the level of infrastructure looks too advanced for a south American Country!

Nairaland keeps teaching me daily! cool
Nice thread by the way
Loads of chilean and argentian are of european descent.

Also, argentina was one of the wealthest countries in the world prior to ww2. Attracting loads of skilled workers and technology from europe which was at the forefront of the industrial revolution.

Chilean and Argentina being neighbours, likely benefitted loads from the european skilled labour influx and associated techologies they brought much like the USA did also.

No worries, Farage will also liberate the UK just as Trump is liberating its workers from their jobs.

InvestmentRe: Nigerian Stock Exchange Market Pick Alerts by Fred2020: 4:39pm On Sep 05, 2025
For all the loathing of immigrants from "third-world countries", Trump has made some very good through passes to Africa. It is left for African governments to score the goal.

The Feds in the US would have to agressively cut interest rate to combat a weakening US economy.

A good incentive for capital and investors to flow from the US to countries with higher interest rate and stability.

Hopefully, rate cuts & a weakened USD in the US will push more institutional investors to the NSE

I wanted to dismiss this as trolling but I've seen a lot of people with this mentality before.
God bless you. When people abroad avoid responding to messages from people in Nigeria, some people think it is pride or arrogance.

At one point, I realized that over 70–80% of the messages I received from people in Nigeria ended with a request for money, even from people I barely knew back when I was living there.

At some point in time, my heart skips, when I get messages from people in Nigeria because I know I have to offend someone or part with cash.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Fred2020: 12:12pm On Sep 02, 2025
It’s already been well-discussed, but it’s worth repeating: plan carefully for what comes after your studies before choosing the UK as your destination.

The UK of today is not the UK of five years ago. Opportunities for new migrants have shifted dramatically.

Major headlines on key news outlets today are highlighting the sharp rise in international students seeking asylum as a way to overstay their visas, which has now become a major focus for the government.

Not worth it spending 15-20M to become an asylum seeker in the UK in my opinion.

RomanceRe: Everything You Heard About Dating Abroad As A Nigerian Man Is A Lie. by Fred2020: 4:50pm On Aug 26, 2025
tensazangetsu20:
Honestly, if you’re still in Nigeria and have plans to relocate abroad, especially as a single man, I strongly advise staying single. The rumors you’ve heard about black men not being in demand abroad or not being loved are completely false.

Back in Nigeria, I was ugly. If I got a girl’s number, she would either block me or ignore my messages. My last girlfriend before leaving Nigeria was by sheer luck—I still don’t know how it happened. But when I moved abroad, it felt like I’d transformed into a supermodel. It got to the point where I had to delete my dating apps because I’m focusing on earning certifications to boost my income, and managing conversations with so many women became overwhelming. Even approaching women in real life yields the same results—if I approach 10 women, 8 of them want me as their boyfriend.

I can’t explain it, but if you’re a Nigerian guy and you’re single with plans to move abroad, preserve that status. The quality of women I’ve met in terms of beauty and their achievements is far beyond what I ever imagined getting back in Nigeria.
Ladies abroad are fascinated the "traditional man" concept which is in scare supply in todays western society. A man not looking to split bills shamelessly and wont treat his wife in a gender-blind manner.

Many western ladies also are not sure what to expect when they meet a darked-skinned person, probably because they have not interacted with many closely and hold presumptions based on baised media reporting.

so when they get the chance to interact closely with one and find out you are witty or intelligent, they get blown away.....like they have met a superstar. I have noticed this quite often

So if you are in a country where they havent met loads of dark-skinned people and arent strongly racists, you may have hit the jackpot as a single guy

Midoskibal:
Hi everyone,

Please I need advice.
So I did forestry and wildlife as an undergraduate. But i heard its not really compulsory you do something related to your undergrad though I'll prefer to.

So i searched for high demand courses (degrees with the very high possibilities of securing a job in the uk related to my course of study and some courses popped out). E.g

*p.
I’d advise you to strongly consider pursuing a master’s degree in a field that aligns with your marketable experience.

Skilled visa-eligible roles typically require a certain level of experience, and policy trends are moving toward limiting entry-level or below-graduate roles for new immigrants.

If your long-term plan is to secure residency through the skilled worker pathway, it’s worth reflecting carefully on this.

There are immigrants who have secured visa sponsorships in roles such as chefs, while others with master’s degrees in high-demand fields like cybersecurity have still struggled to find employment.

I know some people were just not happy Insurance Sector which they've so much detested are delivering in market....

Ordinarily the sector is much undervalued and, with the new good news, they should deliver well.

If banks can be transformed, so also insurance sector.

We continue to see how market handles this over time. In fact, the time is even shorter self.
In my view, if July 2026 is the deadline, they should be discussing fundraising options and kicking off M&A talks ASAP. M&A deals take months to close, and the longer they wait, the pricier it’ll be to buy out rival competitors.

I expect some to begin openly discussing their options this year or early next year.

I'll be keep the bulk of my insurance stocks come what may, I have enough fat to take any temporal dip.
