Career / How I Passed My CISA Certification Exam @ First Attempt. by Icon2007: 5:06pm On May 29, 2023
My people I am happy to announce to you that I passed my CISA certification exam at first attempt.

The preparation started since last year April 2022. When my comapny registered me and some of my colleagues for the training and fast foreward to this year January 2023 when we were registered for the certification exam. I reschedule my exan date and vemue severally due to feeling of not preparing enough. I studied the 27th edition of CISA manual very well and used the 12th edition questions and answer extensivelly. I was tempted to buy one of these online sure dumps but i restricted myself to intensive studying of the manual and practising of Q &A. I read some others mayerials as well. I eventually took my exam on 28 April and after submitting I saw that my preliminary result was Passed. I was so happy. After 8 days my offical result notification was received with a score of 459 .

Travel / Re: Why Is No One Talking About This In Nigeria by Icon2007: 7:14pm On Aug 24, 2022
The part that i can not understand are the middle class set that are gainfully employed here in Nigeria earning 500k and above and those set too in the name of japa resigned to go and enroll in uk for masters program with all the challenges. for me my salary is not much but i can manage to take of my money and still do one or two things with the left over. For now the bitter truth is that the cost of living is rising globally agreed Nigeria govt mismanagement might have escalated the sufferings of average Nigeria but then look well before you jappa as a middle class . if nothing is working for you no work and no business I can understand if you choose to give another country a trial. but resigning and moving to another country on a students visa is a no no for me.

I am really happy that people are getting to know more about the deceit and deception of UK government. they don.t have any good plan for Africans. If you listen to Phrankleen on youtube with an open mind you will understand the West system better.
if you are doing well here don't jappa blindly and say you did cos of the future of your kids. you are not God neither Jesus their future is in their hands and God, you can only do the little you can, let them do the rest. your own metal health and happiness is also important.

IF you are not doing anything at the moment grab the offer with your two hands but don't quit studying, even if you have HND now go for your BSC it is very important. a time will come your 50k or 100k teller salary will not be enough. you will need to seek opportunity to become a full staff having a degree bsc will make it easier for you and your employer. my 2 kobo

VIKTO83:


Africa need me. Nigeria need me.
I personally requested to serve (NYSC) in d north where others find less appealing to them.
Even when I'm called to serve within Africa at anytime I choose like Liberia, S.leone and Nigeria.
I believe we lack access to good medicare and I'm obligated to render d service within my capacity.

It's a choice.

Thank you God bless you real good , your point of view and perspective toward life can only be understood by few people, your selfless service is well appreciated and God will reward you. Everything is not about money and dying in the west

please go for it , if you are not doing anything at the moment. do the job very well , don't listen to the people advising you to go home and sleep and be expecting salary. try and give the job your best while opening your eyes and ear to opportunities within that same bank and outside.
some DSA in my place of work has been able to move from that level to become a full time staff in operations, while some are still full time in marketing and all. ire ooooo.

whenever I read people desperation to leave this country at all cost, some will even go to the length of travelling to any countries once the place is not african countries. I was about making this type of mistake some few years back, but i try to research and consult widely. i stumbed on one guy on youtube is name is phrankleen i sent him a mail about my plan and he used my mail to do live show on youtube so many people commented and i listened to him with an open mind. I change my mind and i am not regretting it. if you want to know more about what people go through in the west read more on quora and some youtube.
if you are not doing anything meaningful in nigeria you can travel anywhere to try your luck but do your research too and travel legally.

but if you are doing something meaningful dont run to west in the name of the greener pasture you might regret it.
for me my slalary is not 1m its not even half of a million but I can manage it while i hope for the better tomorow with my side hussle and all.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Do You Regret Leaving Your Lucrative Nigerian Job For Abroad Menial Job by Icon2007: 10:38am On Jul 05, 2021
Just as some people said its all about misconception about life abroad. Some people thing they take money from tree in USA or canada, I am working in Nigeria and I once nurse the thought of leaving my job, selling my car, my house and move to Canada, but I took time to study things and I listen to people like phrankleen on YouTub., I have a clearer picture of life abroad now. that does not mean I will not travel at all but then i am better informed now. So if you want to travel at all cost know what to expect there ,don't just think the whites will give you a red carpet, and worship you. Expect the harsh weather , the bills the possibility of doing menial jobs to survive. and being at the bottom of the spectrum. and for some of our people that keeps saying they are doing it for their kids., know surely your kids are not going to be much different from you, they will still go through the cycle you pass through to survive in most developed countries. Its not a joke that the black Americans are relocating to African countries now. Ghana, Gambia Kenya Rwanda. I understand things are not working as most of us expected in Nigeria but Nigeria is
still better than most places people run to in the name of greener pasture.

if you are getting a good grade, that alone should motivate you to finish it up. Life is not easy out there for a graduate talk less of a drop out and in some terrain they want to know your profile first before meeting you in person. Imagine what your c.v would like if you drop out.
if you are sound you can do both effortlessly and excel in both.

Car Talk / How I Fix My 2007 Camry Alarm Firing Off Most Tkmes by Icon2007: 1:09pm On Apr 03, 2021
I have this Camry 2007 I imported myself to the country in 2019. So sometimes last year the alarm will go off at any time its likes I took it to mechanics and re wire they checked and told me it's fine the thing started after some time again. So I started removing battery terminal to avoid it going off. So when I was tired of it I I browsed youtube for solution.

Cos the sensor at the latch feel like somebody is trying to open the bonnet that is why its going off i cleaned it up low and behold its stopped

Travel / Could This Be True About Canada And If Yes Why The Rush?? by Icon2007: 2:34pm On Apr 02, 2021
I'm an MBA HR with 2.6 years of work experience from India and now I'm planning to move Canada on a grad course that adds to my profile. What should I do? Is it appreciable to study further for jobs in Canada?
These are my two cents: It is up to you to take it or throw it away.

“Some Grad Course” what does that mean? There are thousands of grad courses.

MBA followed by another grad course?, In Canada, if I am interviewer: I will label you a professional student who is afraid of the real world.

It sounds very fishy, hanky panky,

Now let me very blunt with you. Are you coming as a grad student to gain entry? Most of the fake students from less blessed lands are doing so, and some Canadians are fully aware of it.

In that case, bogus students and sound good courses and meaningless colleges and low-end institutes are printing papers.

Most of these grads have zero future, and I know many who are doing survival jobs to stay alive.

Therefore ask yourself honestly your intention and do it accordingly.

Ask someone from India who is in Canada now with the same background as yourself about his/her trajectory.

Canada does not need educated people. Canada has one of the highest percentages of educated people and all in line for cushy white color jobs.

I hope you take this answer as a goodwill gesture to you, do whatever your heart pleases,

BTW: Canada is not for everyone. It is not a land of cream honey and beautiful brochures.

Know this country inside out, the good, the bad, and the ugly,

Our time was different. We were extremely helpless, and our motherland was on her knees.

Be very careful about coming to this country, do your due diligence; it is not a bed of roses.

For visible minority nothing has changed; all sweet talk means nothing here. It was business as usual when we landed fifty years back in time.

People who are visible minorities, multiply your work/efforts by 2 then the native folks. It is a fact. The kids who are born here super education multiple language skills know all the jazz here. They have to fight for a place.

Also, the glorious songs sung by people are just paid and well trained -Canaries to attract and recruit more canaries to come to the trap. And work all their lives on survival jobs and keep this singing and trained -Canaries in business.

Sam Arora, Msc U of Guelph, Canada, MSc U of Punjab, India, close to fifty years in Canada, worked as a foot soldier to survival and below survival job to the board room.

That question is in no way has anything to do with you being successful or not at the interview. I know some banks that relatives still work even husband and wife and they are fine with it. Knowing someone in an establishment is not a crime telling them the truth is not being over righteous you have done the right thing they might still get back to you and if not just move on knowing that the job is not meant for you.
