If I saw Ortom handing over the barrows, I would have classed it as lowest but here are pictures of Sani handing radios. I want more pictures of this kind out even though I know politicians are using it to spite one another.

The pictures remind us of the mentality we have, where politicians think material handouts must be captured. They want to be seen commissioning everything including bore holes. They put their pictures out there on billboards.

On the Gbajabiamila thread too, I asked what really defines 'giving back to the people'? What's the most dire need of the people? It's not everything that has to do with products - sometimes, intervening in welfare services that can impact their lives outweigh products that have expiry dates.



Well, it's allowed. It's allowed because Nigerians are still tolerating mediocrity with their own money.

Abi what kind of argument is this?


The fact that there is no stable electricity doesn't mean you can not do good, progress and develop. Level yourself and your thinking above adversity because it's the only way progress.
It's commonsense to know that Nigerians have been using mobile gadgets since 2001.

jonhemma11:
In his speech at the occasion, Gbajabiamila said the gesture was a redemption of his electoral promise to impact on the lives of the people of the area.



“We are in the 21st century when the most important thing that drives development is technology.
“Nigeria cannot afford to be left out, that is why we are doing our little by distributing these tablets to our students today,” he said.

The House Leader explained that the selection of the students was made without political affiliation, adding that the management of the benefiting schools recommended the beneficiaries based on merit.

He said the tablet contained 117 books for Junior and Senior students and covered all the subjects in the curriculum.
The lawmaker added that the tool also contained tests and assessments that could help students in their learning.

According to Gbajabiamila, other features of the computer include processing applications for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and long lasting battery life of 6,000amh.
I do not want to be unnecessarily critical but the first thought that came to me when I realised that it was tabs was CONTRACT! Unfortunately, that's the system we have. Someone most likely would've benefited from the procurement of the tabs which may outweigh the purpose of the programme.

Nigerian politicians and 'impacting the lives of people' are synonymous to vagueness.

If it is the same Surulere that the media has been quoting, electricity remains a big problem to them so even if the batteries are 60,000mah, Surulere residents need his intervention in terms of prepaid meter (I have seen several news features on this issue). He actually has the power to intervene in such - let's put the basket down before collecting apples.

Similarly, when we all focus on these tablets, my question remains "are all students comfortable with using this as a means of study?" A tab is more of a support to me - help them with the electricity challenges they have first and that will be a fantastic add-on for the use of the tabs

“PMB travels tonight for medical follow-up,” presidential spokesman Femi Adesina said in a statement. “The length of the President’s stay in London will be determined by the doctors. The government will continue to function normally under the able leadership of the Vice President.”

RomanceRe: Sex And Fasting by Mustay(m): 8:24am On May 01, 2017
The mouth shouldn't be faster than the head which controls it but in this case, Lola has acted so particularly in Part 8 where she's still arguing before her mum shut her up. You see, when you get to the courts and find out how silly issues split marriages, you would think it's a Nollywood script.

Communication, trust and respect are the key ingredients to any relationship. If one of them is missing, the others will crumble. They all work together.

Lola is stubborn about her ideas as she has forgotten that it's not just about her alone, there are two people involved. She did not communicate well with him or respect his needs, left him angered and that's where the distrust crept in. People have egos and Kenny played out some shakara moves just to get attention and this is where a lot get it wrong. Sometimes, people do not mean to take an action but the ego in us does not want to belittle us, hence we wait for the other party to beg us.

Once a third party is saying your spouse is the problem without talking to the other party, then such person is not a neutrally reliable party to discuss issues with. The 'Mummy' talking about the devil in Kenny is really divisive and this is where our people need to apply common sense in the midst of nonsensical ideas.

I know Islam does not permit a woman to fast voluntarily except with her husband's permission but here, Kenny went extreme with this. In fact, a discussion between them will have solved this - in just 5 months, you already made a decision to fast in the next 3 months (100 days)huh Common! Don't make a monster out of a mommy's boy! This decision to go spiritual ought to be mutual otherwise, one party sees the other as an obstacle.

So, to summarily execute this, communicate effectively to earn the trust and respect of your partner. Your body language (and actions) also communicates to the other party how much trust and respect they'll invest in you. Who anger epp?

PoliticsRe: The Abuja-kaduna Airports: A Testimony --Reuben Abati by Mustay(m): 8:59pm On Apr 18, 2017
Chizgold:
I met an upgraded Kaduna International Airport. The upgrade is not yet completed but I hope when the diverted traffic from Abuja disappears, the uncompleted parts of the airport will be sorted out and the airport can be put to better use, and not abandoned, and the investment would not be allowed to waste.
This is the highlight of his write up. Our maintenance culture is one that can scare Mr Maintain himself - the Sokoto airport readily comes to mind. Kaduna airport is quite a big one but traffic is missing there for obvious reasons.

Maybe we may need other closures that will force diversion to Port Harcourt, Jos or Warri airports. Once another Minister or government takes over, past projects are abandoned.

I think the announcers at the airports located in the North speak clearly for obvious reasons once again. When people speak with their noses and cannot communicate within the waiting lounge or the airplane, the essence of their messages is lost. They may say they're keeping up with international bla bla bla but please, connect locally, function globally!

I think you have captured the major points. That bond enslaves you. The sales job exposes you.

For the commenter saying the manufacturers are experiencing issues now, banks will also have their time and the OP will be on the first line to go when they want to cut costs.
PoliticsRe: Omissions In Lagos At 50 Poster Display by Mustay(m): 8:26am On Apr 17, 2017
Origin:
I would have prefered more local content. Putting musicians and actors and business men does not cut it.

This is a celebration of the common man. Let the cleaners of Lagos take a group picture and paste it. Let Alausa people take a wide angle picture and paste it. Our LASTMA team that rescue us from go slow. Go to Eko take pix of the different sections ( textiles, jewelry, home goods)

They don't get paid enough or celebrated enough. Come rain come shine they still carry out their duties.

The love of Lagos is the love of Many.
I hope they see this so that the pictures are not just for patronising sake. For instance, one of the pictures has an unknown individual on it, they didn't even bother putting his name just because he's supposedly unpopular.

This is inconsistent with what they did for the others. They believed using popular figures will hype the cause. The posters look more like patronage to me - BRF as performance, Tinubu as legacy, Ambode as whatever is just so 'common'.


Using pictures of artistes, politicians and the likes is a mismatch of what Lagos offers the ordinary man. It does not have any connection with the man at Abule Ẹ̀gba, Okokomaiko, Ijesha, Lakowe, Ibefun or what have you.

CareerRe: 5 Reasons Why You Should Write ICAN Instead Of ACCA by Mustay(m):
I initially did not want to respond to this thread but just so you do not misinform people, I have decided to login on a PC to clarify:


optimusmind:
1. Cost of examination.
The ACCA exams has always been more expensive than the ICAN exams, however with the recent increase in Dollars against naira, the fee is even higher than ever.
Currently the average price per course is £80 oughly N35000 and you may have to write up-to 3 courses per diet if you want to finish on time. ICAN, the maximum you'd ever pay is N70,000 and that is for the maximum number of courses ( 6 courses),other times you'd pay N40,000 to N55000 for all your courses. So if you have a slim budget, it may be in your advantage to write the ICAN exams.
True, with the FX instability, ICAN is the cheaper option. Even ACCA recognises this as they have a special rate for the Nigerian students. Students from other countries (particularly African and Asian) too also complain about FX and its effect on writing the examinations.




2. Availability of Resources
For the ACCA exams, the resources at your disposal is someworth limited. Firstly, only few tuition houses are accredited to prepare students for the exams. Also, the study material has to be purchased online and paid for in pounds, another additional cost. For ICAN however, the resources needed are readily available online and offline. And there are a lot of books for purchase to make studies easier.
This is totally false. First, you digress when you move from availability of resources to availability of tuition houses. Compared to about ten (10) years ago, the tuition houses you have for ACCA have improved. With the exams getting more popular and Nigerians dissing ICAN for ACCA, ICAN had to change their policy on exemptions etc. There are sites when you can get resources for ACCA online free ( and I am not referring to hacking or pirated materials). True that the fact that it is in pounds affects the cost of buying original study materials but there are definitely MUCH MORE resources online (videos, discussion forums, tutor support, revision notes and audio lectures) than ICAN. A google search will easily discard this point as irrelevant. More so, I know some ICAN students who could not afford materials and had to photocopy - everyone's situation is different. The most important thing is to maximise the resources you have - eg borrow materials from those who wrote a previous diet and the likes.





3. Statutory recognition.
In Nigeria presently, only ICAN and ANAN has been given the charter to audit reports. So despite having the ACCA qualification, you still cannot sign and approve financial statements unless you are a member of ICAN, which would mean you coming back to write the ICAN exams. I know there are a lot of exemptions. However, isn't it double cost if you still come back and pay for the same ICAN exams again? The basic advantage of ACCA is the recognition in the private sector. But in term of statutory audit, or even public sector, you still need ICAN to climb higher
You are right here; I stated this previously but like I also mentioned, if you think of migrating abroad, don't make this mistake. If ICAN learns from the likes of the Pakistani body, you would see much recognition internationally. I will just ask you to do a simple search online on international job boards or recruitment agencies and you'd easily see ACCA there. Though North America usually has its own specifics, this is where conversion and exemption makes sense. When you know what CPA students for example go through, you will appreciate the cost of exemptions. I guess you are yet to really ask yourself why "the basic advantage of ACCA is the recognition in the private sector" exists.

When you refer to 'climbing higher' in the public sector, ANAN is the easy way out. That's why you find public officials choosing the route and still achieving career growth in the public sector.

As far as I am concerned, what you do with your certificate is the most important. Most times, people who have all these certifications earn it for a particular purpose, after two - three years without relevant practise or continuous professional development, you are as good as a novice.




4. Easier to pass
It is generally easier to sit for and pass ICAN. It is common to see individuals who seat for the ICAN exams and pass every thing in one sitting. Truth be told, ACCA is setting the standard which ICAN follow. So if your goal is to become a chartered accountant as soon as possible with lesser stress you are better of writing ICAN instead of ACCA.
This is one fallacy accountancy students fall for. In reality, no one cares how hard your exam although there is a notion that the harder the exam, the more respected it is but what is the purpose of an exam? Knowledge is not meant to be for a select few even though we need regulations for members. I see students from India, Pakistan etc too argue about this too - they even venture into CFA being less harder than the equivalent they have. Guy, everyone has his or her own story - something about professional examinations students fail to realise is this, EXECUTION takes precedence over PREPARATION. Sounds funny righthuh Most times, students read and even cram the study material but their delivery during the examination often fails them. So you can have an average student passing at one sitting and an exceptionally brilliant student stumbling.

I also do not support this ASAP ideology of yours. At the end, you will get the designation but like I wrote earlier, it is what you do with any certification or knowledge that matters the most. We are certificate crazy in this country because it seems to boost our profile whereas globally, people seek competency. A situation where ICAN examiners will set examination questions from topics not in a syllabus or where they do not do thorough review of questions (e.g MCQ questions) leaves a lot to be desired.





5. Patriotism
We always complain our county is bad and not progressing, yet we constantly leave our home made things and go for foreign ones. These two bodies are serving the same purpose. Therefore, there's no need leaving the one of our mother land for preference for a foreign body. It pays to be patriotic and promote the affairs of our own country.
Nothing to say here. I believe in options anyway and once again, it is not about sentiments. The Pakistani and Indian accountancy bodies are very strong, we can learn from them too. I'd support the Nigerians bodies over any foreign body if we ensure quality and standards.



Conclusion
With the harmonization of accounting standard and Nigeria adopting IFRS, there is no difference between the two bodies. Basically they have Very similar course outline cutting through virtually the same area. The gap between the two bodies have greatly been closed. Also, ICAN is an international qualification and recognized in a lot of other countries.
Can we have a list of these countries and the idea of how easy it is to convert a foreign CA to the countries? Let's start with W.Africa first.

The edge ACCA has here even in territories where they are less popular is PARTNERSHIP, Without that, the members are as good as 'abandoned'.
CareerRe: 5 Reasons Why You Should Write ICAN Instead Of ACCA by Mustay(m): 7:53am On Apr 16, 2017
