As a young fellow getting started in his career, you are doing great observing what may be prevalent.

I think young people should try to get some education about their chances- as you have or as you desire before going to the university to study any course.

You have to consider which is foremost to you- is it to have a successful career in whatever endeavour or to become a successful engineer; if it is the former, such that you are desiring a career for the success output, you may need to assess other courses aside Engineering that may provide readily available opportunities for you.

Increasingly, renowned courses like Law and Engineering needs to be re-assessed by those aspiring for a career in either. Most people are rather desiring for paid employment, when the fields actually has several opportunities to be self-employed, becoming a consulting professional or getting into some start-up.

Engineering is a wonderful course- however the formal labour market in Nigeria may not be so much great or wonderful for the discipline.

While there seem to be far limited formal opportunities for engineers than there are engineers, for those that persevere, and got opportunity to practice in their field- they often have the best outcomes in terms of prosperity when compared with other disciplines. (Check Aerospace Engineering).

There are some engineering courses that gives you significant edge in the informal labour market. Such that you can start your own enterprise right away and become an employer of labour as well. Now, the difficulty with this is the cost of start up and the competence we have instilled which is not geared towards self sufficiency or entrepreneurial spirit. Engineering, accounting or finance, medicine among others are all professional courses that don't require additional post-graduate degrees to maximise the opportunities they may afford. You just have to have right mindset of problem identification and solving to being a structural analyst.

Most engineers that went through Nigeria universities have had little exposure to practical training in Engineering. The universities have focused more on theoretical engineering- when engineering is mostly a practical course. The faculties could have been innovative in building massive workshop that can help instill the requisite skills that would propel a desirable career in most of their alumni; however they are frustrated by the nonchalance of the FG which has crushed what should be the faculty imagination.

What then is the option left to the engineer who can’t get a chance in the formal engineering labour market or who don’t have the resource for a start up?

So a civil engineer for instance could personally take on the supervision of construction or re-construction of housing units or other building structures- massive ones and the small residential ones. In many residential areas in Lagos, you have civil engineers approach owners of old building structures with great plans to pull down and reconstruct the buildings at their own cost, while such arrangement gives them some form of leasehold on the newly constructed building say a two flats now devolved into a six flats. They could have a long term leasehold on 2 of those flats. Now you don’t have to be a civil engineer to do such, you just need to have the requisite skills. However the Engineering discipline gives a confidence in such prospective customers that non-engineers approaching can offer them. Some civil engineers have made more money more than those working in Shell BP by exploring such.

Mechanical engineers on the other hand, also just need a little support to get started in the informal labour market; in sane schools- they are taught the competence to be able to design about anything. As at today, the universities may not offer as much technical skills as you may see in a polytechnic or some technical schools. The mechanical engineer must be humble enough to realize this. After getting around such, the issue then may be the cost of designing whatsoever they desire designing which may be highly demanding and in a nation that don’t support innovation, you have to look elsewhere. I know mechanical engineers that specialize in plumbing for very big building construction firms - designing and supervising the plumbing. Now, some ignorant mechanical engineers sees plumbing as a mere apprenticeship exercise, but with one’s credentials- you become even more feasible for opportunities. This is aside those, that are probably into constructions or repairs of factory machines and intensive trucks such as drilling machines.

I think ultimately in addition to what you may acquire from this thread - you have to understand that becoming successful as an engineer is a function of your own mindset. And for some people with the right mindset, it is in a place like Nigeria where several things don’t seem to work- that there are opportunities. There is no electricity / then there is a market for affordable power plans such that an electrical engineer who is innovative and adaptable can provide affordable solar energy technology to people. Get on LinkedIn, take a look at the profiles of engineers working in great firms, look at the unique skills they have, look at the career choices they have made. It could help you create your own template.

Don’t make costly assumptions based on what you may find in your immediate environment. Many of those people are products of a dysfunctional mindset or of a mindset compelled by the tragic realities of Nigeria. However if you have incorporated such reality in your methodological mindset, you should excel well in engineering or in any discipline you so choose. Those working in the manufacturing that you have interacted with are mostly products of technical education, and they provide supports and take instructions from the engineers, while those who attended universities that you interact with have little to no technical expertise. Again, if you build a methodological mindset towards your career, engineering can give you so much.

May God continue to enlighten and strengthen him.

And absolutely a troubling, that Francis Cardinal Arinze has not received a national honor from Nigeria.

Fisayo Soyombo relevant undercover investigations should earn him a Pulitzer every time. Not earning such is not as sad than he n’t getting to that level in years and no 1 is filling in.

I think David Hundeyin massively came in but he does so much too, but so much that he detracts from the story by becoming it.

David Hundeyin is a massive asset. He has uncovered more corruption than the EFCC has.

Distractions.

Again, another irrelevant story which will be hijacked by immatured and horrendous users.
The platform can’t seem to motivate creators, an algorithm to rank substantive and relevant responses such that they constitute the first page needs to be implemented.

The administrators need serious training.

He is released and even unto more greatness. - but those who serve as instruments of oppression will only be known however their wealth; as custodians of oppression.

A figure like her in our public schools will get more in school than any free meal we are spending over a billion on.

How is this noteworthy?

This platform was known for breaking news years back. These days- the forum is filled with stale news and irrelevant.

While the CEO spend more time interacting on twitter; trying to get an Hundeyin's attention. The front-page on most stories here are hijacked, and done by people who has nothing tangible to contribute.

So, folks can't.

I don’t understand why there is so much unnecessary fixation on how he dressed.

There should be more fixation on the absence of his Principal.

There should be more fixation on the speech he gave.

I think he gave the best speech that day. However, anyone can write a beautiful impassioned speech. There were claims in that speech that should be probed.

He said, he has done much with Borno and can do even so much with Nigeria.

He touts Asiwaju Tinubu as the one responsible for Lagos becoming one of the largest economies in Africa.

He touts Asiwaju as being responsible for the development of Lagos State. Is this even true? If it is, is it important?

He touts Asiwaju as helping Lagos increase their internally generated revenue - an amount far better than the rest of the country combined? Should Tinubu be given credit for Lagos? And does that justify why he feel entitled to be accessible to its treasury?

Lagos was ranked second worst city to live in the world; and this was only this year. Is it the promise to Make Nigeria the worst place to live?

Yet, Lagos is the haven we all come.
Can we trade Asiwaju’s record of entitlement for his promise of doing a Lagos with a Nigeria?

These and other stories about why Asiwaju might be a falsehood or disaster or messiah should we dwell upon- rather than excessively fixating on this irrelevant.

Peter Obi’s speech was not great. Buhari spoke great deal about corruption in Nigeria too when he aspired. Peter Obi has to do better than memorize numbers and hope to get applause for his recollection prowess. Tell us more!!!Tell them these!!!

Beating traffic light should be a very serious offense. In many situations, it can cause grave accidents.

The cost should be higher.

Though a luxury to the sub-continent, to whatever extent, if a functional government yet can relate, such might help strengthen our currency especially if the demand for Naira increases in West - Africa.

The demand for Naira would increase the value of Naira. That’s why we have to do better with our exports. There has to be support for businesses here, and the government should help get the products out.

In Aba, we can re-brand locally made shoes and make them popular across West-Africa and beyond. We can even invest in other Africa country resources - and take control of the export to the west.

Till date, we are a looted lots and you find our best minds employed by our looters and even where there is a government that is a little bright, our SANs fight each other to defend the looters and throw away Nigeria’s interest for peanuts. And a misguided government yet honors the SAN with a national honor. The celebrated Chief Olanipekun OFR, for instance has helped MTN win a tax dispute against Nigeria; represented Shell Petroleum & Equinox (Formerly Statoil) while the two oil companies have but looted the country & yet he has a national honor in recognition of his reputation for helping them fleece us. The direction of the country is a lost cause; if our best minds will fight each-other in a bid to defend a foreign interest trying to fleece our commonwealth.

To return to the main point, we should take back our country. No reason to give Niger over a billion to purchase vehicles- when we’ could support Innoson to build same and then export.

And in many sectors; I don’t see why ICAN can’t become the ACCA of Africa for instance; and make the certification the foremost desirable for accountants across Africa. That should be their aspiration. With the right leadership, such and such can be explored and taken advantage of. This seem to be the hope of ASUU for our tertiary education.

Whatever FG has now done to make progress in SSANU and NASU - they could have done months ago & forestalled the strike.

Whatever they will do as to ENd ASUU strike, they could have done a week into the strike.

What exactly was the request of SSANU & NASU respectively?

And what was the FG actual response to their demands?

Somewhere in between, you will find the corruption that is alleged- and a tenacious corruption at that.

It wasn't ASUU's fault that the FG reneged on its agreement with the union & since 2009. In Labor law, terms of collective bargaining are usually upheld. With ASUU, one such is, for no victimisations of the other party.

That said, lecturers have been researching, publishing & learning- with the meagre they are suffered and have been doing so in a bid to come back to class better equipped to impact their students. The victimisation of 'no work, no pay' will not weaken the resolve of ASUU as a union.

To be clear, ASUU will not grant the precedents the FG is asking. The FG reneged on its contract; Did no act, they are sluggish now to take; & act in bad faith by this most recent illegal request to forfeit. In the duration of this strike, lecturers, their dependents have died in no salary. to buy drugs or to get proper healthcare. All of this have strengthened the resolve of the union members.

What they fight for is the soul of this nation. That you get a worthy education. So if ASUU's demand is for a better welfare; you should know that you'd get better value from a lecturer who can meet his daily needs. Granting the request toASUU's demand will not afford its members a luxury life. All is for the students- to have good facilities & dedicated lecturers & reduce the insane brain drain we are suffered.

Now, it was after all means available of getting the FG to act were exhausted, only after that- did the union resort to strike action. The FG heedless actions and non-actions caused the strike and continues to sustain it. This posture is dangerous and will not augur well.

You must understand that whatever compromises FG has made to make ASUU reconsider its strike action, they could have taken such actions months and months ago---- and so now the issue will continue and the resolution will be the FG acceding to ASUU's request rescinding the precedents they demand. How many lecturers or their dependents will have died by then? How many years in the students lives would have been wasted on an ego driven and clueless lots of misadministration?

If this is the price for the soul of our nation, if this is the price to pay- so that our tertiary institutions stop decaying from within- till it reaches its climax and collapse just as you have with education at the secondary level; if this is the price, then woe to the Administration, and as it is to us as a nation to suffer the woe of our leaders; we know the dividend of the struggle shall be worthy fruits.

While China takes over the world completely.

The NBA again is been tested. A lawyer was assaulted by the police only a short while ago. The NBA did nothing tangible to rectify the situation or forestall a re-occurrence. It’s not enough to vacate the order, the judge should be investigated by the NJC for abuse of authority.

Congratulations Oshoala.

Davido supports his family as most of us would have.

Davido didn’t tell the Osun people any other basis of such support or endorsement.

Davido knew his uncle would engage in vote buying and yet performed an outlandish display of hypocrisy by pretending to condemn such corruption; when he and his family cohorts sponsored same.

Was his uncle the most qualified or even competent? Davido don’t care, except assisting his uncle fulfill a long term dream of becoming the CEO of Osun’s treasury.

Would Davido aid his uncle towards competence or does Davido feel he owes the Osun people a duty of ensuring they are rightly governed and their resources, appropriately spent? Davido don’t care, except assisting his uncle fulfil a long term dream of becoming the CEO of Osun’s treasury.

Now Davido’s father definitely would be the minister of procurement and supply and be the recipient of state contracts he is not competent for.

Adeleke victory is a win for the Adeleke family, not so much for the people of Osun.

You can just go to the last paragraph to see my suggestion as regards your primary concern. However, you may find something useful in between.

I am glad you know the primary requirement for success in such pursuit is being focused and putting one's heart to it. This ability is more valuable to success in the endeavor than going-in, having a sense of being exceptionally brilliant. I have interacted with so many aspirants pursuing the ACCA or ICAN certification, some are medical doctors already, some already got their MBA's; far back, a decade close, when I was in Ibadan; It's always a constant that you find a number of University of Ibadan very bright Economics students and others from OAU involved in the ATSWA. It was in this professional exam, most of the first class students of those foremost universities first experienced reference in any exam; but then some of them in spite of, became Qualified Chartered Accountants few months into their service year. There were extraordinary cases of those that qualified even before graduating from their respective universities. I think last year, a boy who had not even attended the university became a qualified chartered accountant. However, you cannot afford to have a sense of thinking the exam as unexacting or effortless. The right frame of mind is to be focussed and put one's heart into it.

Also I think you have to improve on your premise. You have to be sure why you are giving the exams any shots whatsoever. Saying you have some likelihood of passing is no sufficient reason why you should write the exam. You have to see how the certifications fits into your direction. I am glad you have been giving that some thoughts too; you want to be able to be elsewhere from your home-country, but you really don't need exclusively most of these certifications to travel or work abroad. What you need is basic effort at selling yourself; there are those I know that have gotten jobs abroad just by applying online, doing the assessment online and now they are abroad earning with just their first degree but perhaps with their networking resource. I think ultimately, what you are considering is what certification would increase your chances or appropriateness at being so considered in the lack of such other resource.

The way to know which, is you have to find out similar people who probably started as you have here started and who are now settled in what your aspirations are. You have to look at their life choices, the skills they acquired; the organisations they were employed before they got such break. Again, you must also consider that all of their experiences may be irrelevant to their destinations- but often where it's not, you should know and be able to gain one or two insights from.

You are not asking, which certification may complement your first degree in Economics; but that which certification can increase your visibility and give you much advantage to achieve your aspiration of getting an opportunity abroad; (IT or medical related certifications if such exists are perhaps better investments) whether this should be your most legitimate concern is a personal problem that I cannot project my own situation upon. If it were not so and I was allowed to project my personal insight as to what might be the basis of your pursuit, it'd be to say- you first have to determine your preference, you could get insight into your preference either by some job experience or looking back during your first degree education. So, for instance, you must have been introduced to some form of finance during your undergraduate; did you consider it interesting enough as a field you are willing to dedicate your career to? Now, if you so much like finance, then maybe you can consolidate on it by pursuing job positions that affords you the opportunity of being a finance analyst or a risk manager or investment analyst; you could look at the job requirement; and perhaps from there begin to develop your developed interest in Finance by pursuing the CFA; even if you don't pursue the CFA, by virtue of your experience, your visibility increases to multinational businesses which has the opportunity of an office space abroad which is your desire. On the other hand, your preference could be accounting, and then you develop your developed interest accordingly, becoming a chartered accountant or a compliance officer.

As well, you could remain squarely as an economist, by getting the post-graduate degrees; by being an economist, you may even discover, you are much more valuable. Credentials may increase your visibility, but the role of getting experience in a multinational here in Nigeria like the Big 4 or a Mckinsey may be equally or even more valuable. However as this may not be, your primary concern and your primary concern is also very legitimate, I would suggest below.

If you are considering working in an accounting role, financial analyst role, compliance or auditors role and If you have the intention of going abroad as you have indicated, you have to determine 'which abroad'. If it is Europe or the UK or perhaps ASIA or the Australian continent or in other Africa countries; then the ACCA is the appropriate for you to pursue. If Abroad means the US or Canada, then you may be considering doing the CPA. However you can do both; If you have done ACCA or ICAN, you would likely never find the CPA rigorous. You have to learn about the regulations in the North America countries as regards accounting, audit and corporate governance, but it's very doable. However if you go for the CPA; you having the CPA, may not give you so much foundation to do the ACCA or ICAN if you intend moving. Increasingly, there are memoranda of recognition between the professional bodies. ICAN has with CIMA and with the ICAEW and even with the ACCA among others. So, if you do a small check, you would find Nigerians with ICAN working in the BIG 4s abroad with just their ICAN certificate. Also, the organisation you intend to work with say in the USA or Canada, would also employ an ACCA member, as they have branches in other parts of the world that requires knowledge of what’s prevalent in other climes.

If you go for ICAN or ACCA, you have already acquired enough muscle to pursue complementary certifications. If you have ICAN, the knowledge and experience is sufficient to write the additional 4 papers that ACCA requires. It's not so much rigour. It is also so if you acquire the ACCA, you will still need to write ICAN papers if you want to work in certain roles in the Nigeria private sector.

You should definitely go for the ACCA; it's an exam that is well paced and very knowledge driven and that grants you the most opportunity of working abroad.

Jackossky:
Hi
I will Like to ask, I'm an Economist and want to give these exams a shot. Not that I like accounting but I'm brilliant enough to stay focused and pass any of the exam provided I put my heart to it.

Which is advisable, Acca Or Ican

I don't want to pass through the rigorous process of seating for extra papers. I have intention of seeing the world beyond Nigeria so which will be more advantageous to me?



I do hope you get my question as I'm so antsy for your answer.

Ok. If you have ACCA in Nigeria, you also have to be a member of ICAN before you can derive the full benefit of your certification. In order for ACCA to become ICAN members, they have to write some ICAN papers as well. So it is not an upgrade as such in terms of superiority or inferiority.

In the UK, you can practice with the ICAEW. With your ICAN membership , you don’t have to write any exam to gain the ICAEW. In most countries, you just have to write very few of the locally developed syllabus such as Advanced Taxation in order to become a member of their local chartered accountancy body. It's not exactly so with ACCA. You don't have to write any such locally developed syllabus to become a member of ACCA or ICAEW. Most ACCA holders don't even have the advantage that comes with being a member of the ICAEW because they wrote the international variant of the ACCA and so cannot reach the pinnacle of their career say as audit partners if they choose to practice in the UK. They needed to write the ACCA UK variant in Advanced Audit and Strategic Business Reporting.

Even if you are a member of ICAEW; if you are interested in becoming ACCA, you would write the same number of papers that ICAN members needed to obtain the ACCA certification. ICAN is a member of IFAC and CAW among other global chartered accountancy bodies.

A CPA holder is useless in most of EUROPE and most of the world. Most countries are IFRS compliant however ACA is not an upgrade or superior to CPA despite you having to write ICAN papers in addition to your CPA in order to practice in Nigeria.

Most countries have similar arrangements. So the CPA holder does not know the accounting and audit standards that are prevalent in much of the world (IFRS and ISA) . So there is no superiority or inferiority as such. It’s only normal and expedient what is obtainable and it goes either ways.

In fact, none of the big 4s have their headquarters in the US or in Canada. It’s the same way you have the Nigeria office, that you have the US office.

Universal recognition is the better basis. CPA is superior in the USA or Canada. In Nigeria, ACA is superior. In the US, you can have CPA from a state and you will not be allowed to practice in another state in the US. For global universal recognition, IFRS and ISA are most prevalent. Which is the core of ICAN and ACCA; but of Coz, the a significant % of the top 500 companies are in the US.

Is the CPA more rigorous?
How rigorous it is, will be in the course content or in the elaboration of the course content and how easy it is to pick marks.
To write ACCA or ICAN averagely requires 3000 hours while the CPA test itself requires an average 150 hours. The CPA exam itself has 4 sections which is Audit, business environment, Financial accounting/reporting, and regulation... and 50% of all of the exams is multiple choice.
Of coz, one easily sees that this is just like a level in ACCA. So, other exams that they should write, it is expected to have been examined in their prior qualifications which is called the ‘masters degree equivalent’.

The rigour in ACCA or ICAN, is that you having a masters degree is not sufficient to get you such exemptions that the CPA would suggest you have. CPA has less processes and defers what you may find in ACCA to a CFA. And in no way, am I trying to diminish how rigorous the CPA exam is.

Generally you have more graduates and educated fellows than had decades ago. MSC and MBA are no longer scarce as more people have the opportunity of obtaining it. However, being a chartered accountant is always relevant; in most private organizations, it would project you further.

It is ignorant to compare ACCA/ICAN or CPA with CFA. The scope of the former is much wider. The CFA is chiefly for finance; it’s scarce and so very valuable. The reason why the CFA is scarce is besides being rigorous, the exam is very expensive. In a highly credentialised nation like Nigeria, you would have many CFA if the cost of the exam is very affordable and more accessible; but the CFA has high barriers of entry and so has retained its value significantly. However, despite such value, you cannot use your CFA anywhere in the world to become an audit partner. The organizations that needs CFA’s are very minimal in numbers and you would not earn the opportunities that being a chartered accountant affords by being a CFA. Anyone can be an accountant and anyone; even a medical doctor can be a financial analyst. However, there are certain regulations that requires strictly the consent of chartered accountants.

There is no need to convince anybody really of the relevance of acquiring professional certifications; if you are entering labour market, you would come to appreciate what advantage it may afford sooner. Most of the contents is in response to those diminishing ICAN and even the ACCA.

That’s assault. Police can be charged with assault.

This is the daily experience of millions of youths in the country experiencing police brutality.

I hope the police is appropriately charged.

I am glad you realize your shortcomings. Most of us have such and I sincerely hope you can turn this to a blessing in disguise.

Don’t make the mistake of joining here to lampoon your former employer. Users here may have their reservations and judgment concerning the situation that led to your exit… but really anyone who can truly assist here will be looking out for a person who has learnt from the mistakes and who regardless of how little you may be paid; has gone above petty talks and is now an improved person from the situation. Even clarifying and further defending your former employer, when others here castigated them; would make you very attractive to potential employers.

Now, in most organizations, even bigger ones; such an encounter with a family of the owner would have similar outcome resulting in you leaving. In several big schools, if you have such an interaction with a parent of the student; it may also spell your end of employment.

Even if Bishop Oyedepo son steps on the toe of the VC of covenant university, the VC would be diplomatic in his response. If the VC had reacted as you had perhaps reacted; the VC would likely also have the same outcome as you have had. In public universities, if you have such an exchange with a principal officer, they may be interested in your stagnancy. The situation would have similar outcome in most places. The point is, the size of the school don’t matter.

At your work-place, you must take note not to allow yourself to be provoked. Your future employer can be less than 20 years or your future may be in her 20s; it is professionalism that you must be able to show that won’t be an issue for you. It seems that you were really offended that the girl that confronted you was younger than you. This may help you gather sympathy to your situation, but people that are capable of helping or a future potential employer may see it as a red flag. You don’t want to come across as a teacher who was not dedicated; perhaps a school had considered inviting you, but there were some bits where you had damaged your own teaching experience or reputation. You should never imply that teaching is a bad job if that’s your only experience.

I believe if you incorporate some of what I have said and align your thoughts to the bigger picture; it will all be to the good.

All the best.

Just a faction of PDP.

Nnamdi Kanu would have been the chance to insure the peace in the East. Especially in the recruitment of his ideas, and in the addressing of his concerns.

Nnamdi Kanu is a symptom of the country’s marginalization. And the political boundary of the East continues to sustain the symptoms.
He is a fruit that may be cut off, but the root deepens and even worse offshoots awaits us.

Just know whatever FG did to end the strike, they could have done months ago without having to waste or spend two academic sessions.

And he'd claim he has your back during the EndSars protest; while he had alway used the police as his weapon of oppression.

There is no blessing in the attack.

The money donated by some of the ilks; their inability to speak truth to power, it is the primary cause of what led to the attack.

The government should be stoned out of the church for even desecrating it further with their presence.

But most likely, the priest is happy. He survived the attack, the parish is richer and more popular... while the dead are decaying and their dependents may never recover.

The government should be stoned out of the church for even desecrating it further with their presence.

The massacre is a fruit of bad leadership yet the church lent itself to be used for Photo Op by political jobbers whose attitude chiefly posited what led to the attack.

But most likely, some priests and churches now envy the attacked church; and would trade their members to death, to receive the millions and the attention St Francis Church in Owo has received.

But the government should have been be stoned out of the church.
