Nigeria: Accountants' Institute Slashes Fee by 30 Percent
By Amina Alhassan, 23 June 2014

The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants has launched an offer of 30% off its registration fee. Also, the capped exemption fee rate of £165 (N43, 560) that applied to South Africa has now been extended to all African graduates across sub-Saharan Africa, the institute said in a statement.

The CIMA Country Manager Ijeoma Anadozie said: "We recognise that with weakening currencies our potential students are finding it harder to afford a quality global professional qualification; our mission as an organisation is to help people and businesses succeed and we see this as the way to make CIMA more accessible to a greater number of business and professionals".

She said the exemption fees could become a costly exercise especially for those graduates of accounting or finance who qualified for the maximum number adding "A per exemption fee was no longer viable in the long-term. This innovation across our region will really make it possible for a greater number of finance and accounting professionals to pursue our unique and globally recognised Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) designation."

“The exemption fees could become a costly exercise especially for those graduates of accounting or finance who qualified for the maximum number. A per exemption fee was no longer viable in the long-term. This innovation across our region will really make it possible for a greater number of finance and accounting professionals to pursue our unique and globally recognised Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) designation.”

Properties / House Hunting Tips by Greycells(m): 4:48pm On Mar 09, 2012
House hunting tips

You have not had it easy getting your dream apartment. May be you need to reconsider your approach to house hunting. Here are tips that will help you find a good deal.


1. Decide where you want to live. [/b]It has to be in tune with your income. Keep in mind access to schools, hospitals, grocery stores and other basic amenities, when deciding on your choice location.
[b]
2. Check out the neighbourhood. [/b]You need to know if it is a hazard free environment. Is the neighbourhood crime free or prone to flood? If crime rate is high in the neighbourhood, you need to have a rethink. More so, you do not intend to call an apartment that is waterlogged for the best part of the rainy season your home.
[b]
3. Be specific.
You need to have a clear cut picture of the apartment type you desire. Is it a single room, two bedroom apartment, or three bedrooms and two baths? Such details make your easier.
[b]
4. Get a certified estate agent, not a roadside quack to look out for you. [/b]When looking for an apartment and you find yourself checking out a house advertised by an estate agent, you are talking to the representative of the seller. Get an estate agent to look out for your peculiar need.

[b]5. Check out individual owners. [/b]Individual owners cherish reliable, long-term tenants and are less likely to charge exorbitant rent. You can also be sure that your rent would not be raised often.

Hellow Country  man ,I came accross your advert, Please can you tell me ,did you get that Ford Clubwagon you were looking for,if so how is the wagon ,is it good for inter state transport, I have one 1998, so I am thinking of using it for transport, or to sell it to another person so kindly advice me on what to do with  it.  dorizie@ymail.com please reply me  ERIC

Yes I did. But did not fully take to Mowire's advice about the door. I saw two at the point of purchase (N950k and N1.150) in August 2009, somewhere on VI.

I will advise that you use it for transportation business if and only if u are interested in business, meaning you will keep tab on its running on a daily basis. Kindly consider inter-state routes for optimal value.

If yes, he can't possibly handle female friends, he will be shagging them.

If he is not a philanderer, and doesn't cheat on you, you might as well discuss your fears and concerns with him.

Guyman02:

JTF bombard militant camp inn the Niger Delta from the air, marine and land searching for one militant commander.

Amnesty: 800 killed in the North during post election violence including unarmed NYSC members (No JTF to intervene)
'Unknown' gunmen kill 25 and raze a village in Balewa LGA of Bauchi State (No JTF to capture the assailants)
Several victims killed in Jos crisis (No STF to help rescue them even after a call was made to the commander)

American NAVY donates Vietnam war era warship to Nigeria to patrol the Niger Delta creeks.
John Togo dead/Alive, missing or arrested. Amnesty granted to militants by paying them salaries without doing any work, so that they would allow the expatriates to mine oil and gas without disturbance, no attempt to teach them how the oil is being mined for the past 50 years after independence unlike what Ghadafi did in Libya where Libyans have the ability to mine and refine their oil which has led NATO to bombard Tripoli in the name of 'protecting civilians'. Next the JTF will tell us the bombing is to protect civilians from the militants just like they protected the civilians in Odi and Okerenkoko.

Its all about the oil. Thats why the PIB cannot be passed for the past 8 years now because Shell and Chevron feels its not in their favour. Rather than pass the Petroleum Industry Bill and make the people of the Niger Delta to benefit directly from the natural resources in their land, the Govt will rather bombard whole communities from the air, ground and sea and call press conferences.

BTW, where is GEJ? He is on his way to Ivory Coast to give credence to the inauguration of French puppet Ouattara, he has refused to learn from his stoning in Uganda; perhaps this time they will throw a grenade at him in Cote'divore.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Airtel’s Slave Yard by Greycells(m): 1:04pm On May 13, 2011
PStylish:

[b]Taking up a job in an Indian company is good for a fresh graduate.It gives one a good headstart and relevant experience and exposure for future employment especially nothing better is forthcoming.It is better than staying idle.

However, the maximum period one should spend with them is 1 year. After 1 year, you should move on whether you have gotten another job or not and try your hands on something. Throw their jobs right in their face. Graduates who remain in such companies are such as may not really be able to get better jobs elsewhere either because of poor University grades or unpopular/unattractive courses of study.

In my case, I joined an Indian company 4 months after I passed out of NYSC. Pay was 20k at first and after 3 months of probation, I was one of the "lucky 4" confirmed. Pay was then increased to 35k.Actual take home was 31k after pension and tax had been deducted.

I started looking for better employment from day 1. I wrote aptiude tests from time to time to get another job but none materialized at the time.On an occasion, I missed a aptitude test because of the job.

10 months after getting the job, I resigned via yahoo mail sent to my technical manager and call coordinator at about 11:40pm.We had just be paid earlier in the day as it was the last day of the month.The Indians didnt see me again and even though the technical manager told/implored me to come and see him in person, I shunned him.

I learnt a lot of useful things during by brief stay, I must confess and it has enhanced my CV. But the 10 months looked like 10 years.Some of my senior colleagues were school cert holders and were doing part time.We got to know that anybody could be employed so long as you have a little science/technical knowledge and skill and you could speak English.

By the grace of God, I will land a good job very soon.At the moment, I am doing my own thing and I'm not doing badly financially to the glory of God.

My close friend with whom we started together also left and after some months landed a bank job. Today, he is doing good. We were 10 fresh graduates employed at the same time.I think only 5 remain.[/b]




You made great sense.
