born2fuck: Never let your life depend on men wealth or characters, if you have a job, focus on your work, your saving and your children.....life is to short to be sad, if you haven't got children, he would have probably drive you away...... The roots of the problem start from the foundation of your relationship before marriage, most ladies believe when a man is wealthy or have a good job, the rest is minor,that is what they get at the end of the day... He may have been sleepingg with girls even before marriage and you never care to studied him because you have seen material things to settle for....

As the bible said, prayer fix all things....fast for seven days, pray and if he still doesn't change, focuss on your work, join a church choir and usher, you have a christian family to cheer you up and treat your husband with respect.

This isn't from Mr Dobodobo.

Chai! 'If person talk say him papa farm big, make him wait till he see anoda's papa farm'

A pathetic case! just try your best by getting any job, do it with your heart no matter what, and God will reward as well as indict.

Crazy, but perhaps the best.

Scope/fake your dad about the admission stuff, and resume for the work as early as possible, meanwhile, checkout(for a year) whether the job is okay, if not, then the masters' fund (kept safely after collection from papa) can now be utilised for the intent. Ensure that your sister knows about it, but not your mum and definitely the subject.

Bro, that's your best bet, although it is a crazy one, so you don't loose on both sides.

Discretion is advised, because If it isn't a success story, and he(dad) finds out later, you risk your membership/sonship status in that house o. Don't say it was a nairalander that 'kobalised' you, cos you are On Your Own (OYO).

Thank you.

Kill them all!!!!!!

Thanks.

Nitrogen.

Prof Corruption: Sanusi is empty.

Really I think you are wrong here.

Meanwhile, it is way ahead when compared with that of our dear clueless president, at least the confidence wasn't absent, not like Mr Goodluck that had this inferiority complex and inconvenience written all over his face during his.

Btw, I like the 'exchange rate pegging' saga, where Sanusi said that the lawmakers did that in order to put more nairas in their pockets.

talktimi: its not my fault you're a retard, pls get someone to explain my comment SLOWLY to you cuz I no get your time

e pain am well well.

Btw, I still maintain my stand, 'pls be coherent next time'.

Thank you.

talktimi: Sad security situation, very sad indeed. But I dey laugh all these Lagos fanatics dem Buahahahhahahhahahhahahhahahahha no be only move to lagos why not ogun or ondo or even anambra but no it has to be lagos, the other 35 states in Nigeria are cess pits that should be extinguished.
For your information oil companies have a deadline to relocate back to their state of operations in the niger delta.

What is this? Next time, please be coherent.

^^^^
Please what is bad in dreaming na? Infact, you people are discouraging us sef! Abeg o

As for me, I want to get an Harvard or manchester university scholarship soon, then during the programme, I make sure I pass my CFA 1-3, then FRM and ACCA, I must do all that within a year or and a half, then I move to JP morgan straight.

God help me!

You see now, its almost even the same dream, so please don't kill our dream(s) o cos it is easier said than done.

tanimola22: How to become a portfolio manager? T22's style and strategy...

First, I would work in equity research and analysis and value stocks and familiarize myself with different industries and different sectors and with companies listed in these industries and sectors. I would learn what drives their share prices, both technical and fundamental drivers, and I would also learn how these companies do their businesses and how they earn profits and how they cut costs and how they grow revenue and how they diversify into other income generating areas. In essence, I would spend time building a very deep understanding of the stock market. This should take 4-6 years at the minimum.

The next step, the second step, would be to change departments and move from equity capital market to debt capital market. Essentially, I would move from being a stock guy to becoming a bond/fixed income guy. I would do this for several years and understand the intricacies of fixed income research and analysis. I would learn about corporate and government bonds and many other fixed income instruments. This should take a minimum of 3-5 years to achieve. It would take a shorter time, at least for me, because fixed income analysis is more of a science than art. Once learnt, it becomes a part of you and stays with you as you continually upgrade yourself. However, equity analysis is more subjective in nature and this lends it to being less scientific in nature. Again, this is my view.

After successfully doing first and second steps, I would move to the department of risk management. I would spend less than 3 years here because steps one and two would have exposed me to risk management tools and so my learning curve would be much steeper while working in the risk management. So, in risk department, I would expose myself to hedging tools, including swaps, derivatives, options, futures and everything I can expose myself to within the shortest time possible. I normally would not exceed 3 years in this department.

Armed with solid hands-on experience in equity and debt capital markets, risk management, derivatives and co, I would go and market myself to big hedge fund companies or to high net worth individuals who are willing to have me manage their billions of dollars funds. I will charge 2% of the managed funds and 20% of the returns I am able to generate in a given financial year. Without mincing words, I would become the next Soros

Education that could help---
First, BSc Economics/Finance/maybe Accounting/Engineering/Physics/Mathematics

Then, try to enter an asset management company like ARM (asset management coys are essentially buyside) and learn about capital markets securities (debt and equity) as much as you can. If you can avoid Vetiva, IBTC and co, then please do. They are sell side firms and may not properly further your ambition of becoming a portfolio manager. However, some of these companies have a buyside arm, so you may select to work in buyside which is the perfect place for an aspiring portfolio manager. I myself started out in a quasi buyside company.

Okay, spend close to 3 years with the buyside firm and make sure you pass CFA level 1 and 2, then BAIL for graduate studies at a Top School. Either do an MBA or do an MFE. While doing graduate studies, take CFA levels 2 and 3 and pass them. With your very relevant experience, top notch education and zeal, you will have positioned yourself to getting hired by a company where your aspiration of becoming a portfolio manager is most likely to become a reality.

I wish you good luck.

Sincerely,

T22

I can say that this your style is a tough one o especially the naija part.

You definitely know that here in Nigeria, one is driven and controlled by many factors such that choices are not quite easy to make, maybe one starts from an undesired field (completely different from one's target) and later sway into that you wanted at the onset, meanwhile, the sad/unfortunate thing is that the latter may not materialise, because the desired might have been the thing of the past, especially after spending donkey years in/with the undesired, except one is unsuccessful or determined. (Forget fulfilment)

What a state!

Both are shitties!

luvola: So sad i didnt write the last p.e 1 nov diet. Am a graduate of accounting and if am to write the next diet these are the books i will use and recommend - for F.A , f.a.m.s volume 1 and 2 shud b use to cover miscelleneous et special ventures a/c,published financial statement area of the syllabus. For group a/c the study pack + financial a/c by akeju volume 2 and/or advanced f.a by innocent okwunosa also may be use.. For i.a.s/ifrs/sas aspect of the syllabus , i have an hard copy of a detailed ias/ifrs which i bought at unilag bookshop at d rate of #1500 (about 220pages). The study pack should be used for the remaining aspect of d sylabus. In summary .u cant use just a text book for f.a exams. I recommend d following - f.a volume 1 and 2 #3000 each by akeju,adv f.a by innocent, f.a.m.s 1 and 2 by r.o.i, adv f.a by aborede.. + d i.c.a.n study pack. Other text - accounting for special ventures by dare adekunle .

Aaahaaaa! Lovula, nawa for you o, all that cos of FA? Bros, I used ICAN pack, Fams 2 and Innocent's txtbk for group accts, you may not even need your IFRS handbook, just take note of the changes in the terms and rearrangements in statements.

While for MA, I used only Adeniji and pack, for IT and audit, only packs did it for me. Don't forget your past questions too o.

Basically, it is about dedication, I used those stated up there for PE 1 nov diet, and I passed.

logonlaredo: I qualified in 2009 and have been a member (ACA) since 2010. All the best. follow this link to check your result. http://www.icanig.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=246&Itemid=535

Hey bros! Thanks for the link, I passed all papers. Glory be to God.

Btw, my first time.

Mr Afam4ever,

FP thread, do something about it

Thanks.

Nitrogen

It is a pity, infact we have 'dem' plenty around us, simple sentences cannot be constructed, simple words cannot be jinxed together anymore, it is pathetic, we all know that English language is not our language, but for one to spend over 12 years (in total-primary, secondary and tertiary) in school and after that, there isn't a difference between that so called 'graduate' and a 'street urchin', it is a shame!

I can infer that we do not even have 'half baked graduates' anymore, most are below average.

I weep for naija!

[quote author=x-fire]Firstly, in both cases, mediocrity was used as a noun. Check the meaning of mediocrity and you will find two meanings.
On your second question, when there is a debate about grammatical issues in quotes, best way of resolution is to go back to the dictionary and see the meaning and usage of such words. Dictionary is your ultimate guide. But from the arguments here, I find out that most cannot properly study the dictionary. All what you have said about some words being used as both nouns and adjectives are clearly explained in the dictionary. Please do yourself good by getting a good dictionary and study it well.
I also find out that most don't really understand the meaning of noun, pronoun, adjective, adverb, phrase, etc and their usages. Please try and do basic revision.[/quote]With those jinxed together, you are a Zap., you argue sensibly but without any sense of smartness and regard for others. What an offender!

Meanwhile, you live in the past, my best advice for you is to check out the meaning of words and use them accordingly/sensibly, also generalising will do you a lot of harm than good, so take those pieces and sleep over them. Good night!

2sexy: Nitrogen and co, drop the lectures... word evolve with time and there are constant changes to the use of words which many of us( Nigerians) are not aware of.

I think the word/ phrase " A mediocrity" is somewhat old school and thus not wildly used in today's english.

It will suprise you when you think you know english and a native english speaker begins to fill loop holes for you or shall I "gbagauns". We cant really say x-fire is wrong since I googled it and see where native speakers of english have used it. if you go through the wordreference.com link, you will see where some said he has heard it used before.

Let's cut the chase and focus on getting into the oil industry and not the english industry.

Basically, neither is wrong just that one is widely used over another.

Back to the start, you caught the drift analytically and in a different way.

See! The thing is this, it is the fact/truth that 'mediocrity is a noun' while 'mediocre' is an adjective, fine, but what I am telling you is that the adjective 'mediocre' can be used as a noun in a sentence. Fact!!! It all depends.

Meanwhile, if it is this way 'he is a mediocrity' where will you put this 'he will be rewarded for mediocrity', @2sexy, I quoted a scholar the other time and Xfire was quick to say that it might have been an error on the scholar's path, what about mere writers, can't they make mistakes too?

[quote author=x-fire]Nitrogen said same. I am surprised at the level of ignorance being boldly shown here. An adjective is a word used in place of a noun?? Wow.
I wonder why you guys won't just do your basic findings before coming out to start an argument. It's always advisable to go back and check the meaning and usage of words (such as adjective, noun, pronoun,mediocre, mediocrity, etc) if you are not sure. Don't just accept what everybody around you speaks. Majority can be wrong especially in Nigeria where Nigerian English thrives.
I also make similar mistakes and I correct myself when I'm wrong.
The dictionary is an online resource. Please humbly do your checks. An educated and mature mind will always cross-check facts before voicing out.
I have to finally leave this cycle of debate before I use words I won't personally feel happy about.
Back to Oil biz![/quote]You are an idiat for including that bolded in your post, when and where did I say that an adjective is used instead of a noun? You lack simple comprehension, maybe I should refer you to google so you can do some search, in my earlier post, I said that at times, an adjective can be used as a noun in a sentence........yes! I know what I am saying, or you want me to break that down for you? God forbid! Cos you won't catch it at all, but since google is your reliable source, I would want you to type 'adjectives as nouns' on google and check out the links displayed.

By the way, next time you display your sheer mediocrity here, you will be bounced out of this thread, even this section.

For christ's sake, this is sheer mediocrity, how can someone that claims to use words rightly say that 'a mediocrity is here', you can only say 'mediocrity is reigning nowadays', I need a sane person to help us out here please.

Am not surprised anyway, because there is a difference between just knowing the meaning of words and using them correctly in sentences.

I take you as a tool for insulting me, might it interest you that an adjective can be used as a noun! You need to go pick up your brighter grammer or betterstill check it out with a GNS lecturer.

I need not go further with you cos the readiness to learn is not there. Maybe our paths will cross another day and amother time cos things are needed to be done now.
