CareerRe: Forbes Releases List Of Top Employable Jobs In 2016 by toptop: 3:10pm On Jan 03, 2016
profnomercy:
true sha.
but please it's been long i have been hearing finance! finance! finance.in nigeria which will live in,there is no school known to be studying finance except unilag and outside countries.but in nigeria it is fully recognize as "banking and finance" and not finance.
in my school(currently studying banking and finance though) whenever i mention that i'm studying finance to my friends,it always seems to them like i am speaking gibbrish because they only know banking and finance.
my question is is this finance the same as banking and finance most universities in nigeria offer or is it another course entirely?
and does employer of labour recognize finance instead of banking and finance.
thanks as i anticipate your response
The Nigerian capital market and money market is still at her developmental stage. Most of the high breed financial instruments are not traded. Hence, most core finance topics are not factored into our syllables. Banking studies is then added to the topics covered in finance(relevant to our economy) to make up for a degree programme. Finance is mainly studied alone at PG level.

FAME ( finance, accounting,management,economics) are always at advantage in the labour market. This is primarily as a result of the need for financial management in all sectors and firms. That aside, you will also notice that aside consulting in ICT, FAME experts easily set up consulting firms. Remember, the economy is the superstructure upon which other structures in the society are built. After every thing, the bottom line of any sector is finance/economy.

Stop Insulting Jonathan On Twitter —Presidency
07.01.2014, 14:14 Local

Twitter
The Presidency has urged Nigerians to stop making use of the new media to hurl abuses at President Goodluck Jonathan and other political leaders in the new year.
It said Nigerians, especially the youths, who are in the habit of expressing "bitterness" as well as hurling "insults" at the President should have a change of attitude in 2014.
The Presidency, through the Special Assistant to the President on New Media, Reno Omokri, stated on Twitter that if the bitter insults hurled by some Nigerians at Jonathan and other political leaders online in 2013 didn't better their lot, they should consider not taking them into 2014.
Omokri stated that no matter how those who attack the President online intensify their efforts, "men cannot undo what God has done."
He added that the continued expression of bitterness by some Nigerians online may go a long way in limiting their appreciation of the "possible" giant strides of the President in 2014.
He stated, "Circumstances don't change unless behaviour changes. If bitterness and insults didn't change your situation in 2013, don't take them to 2014!
"In 2014, shouldn't we use Twitter as a vehicle for exchanging ideas that focus our attention on how to better each other rather than insults?
"The circumstances surrounding his rise to power are proof that God put President Jonathan where he is and men cannot undo what God has done.
"Insults are available to everyone. They are overlooked by those who want to rise but embraced by those who want to pull the risers down.
"Ideas lead to cooperation and expand our sense of what is possible. Insults lead to isolation, thus limiting our sense of what is possible."
But Nigerians have since responded to the allegations of online assault on the President and other officials in the Presidency, saying the majority of the said "insults" were aimed at making them focused on the business of governance.
One Fola Ademosu urged the President to endure the "insults" in as much as he and his team have yet to deliver on the much desired dividends of democracy. According to him, Nigerians have also been enduring "insults" from the Presidency as a result of 'misgovernance'.
"It is the same insults we endure seeing political masqueraders trivialise governance and turn the country into their personal fiefdom," Ademosu said.
Another respondent on Twitter, Aminu Bawa, asked the Presidency if it was "haram" for public officials to be insulted for failing in their respective constitutional duties.
He stated that if the President or any member of his team are no longer ready to stomach the "insults," they should take the bull by the horns by turning in their resignation letters.
"Are insults haram for public officials? Nobody pays them to abuse taxpayers! If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen," Bawa said.
Some Twitter users who caught up with the Presidency's advice online provided it with a way out of the "insults." Folarin, another respondent, tweeted, "Let all our leaders do what the masses can see and not some achievements on papers. The perceived insults are the only way to show their (Nigerians) displeasure and nothing more."
Also, Ahmed Umar, who dismissed the Presidency's admonition as an "unsolicited advice" wrote, "Show decisiveness, capacity, competence and leadership and see if the insults don't fizzle out."
Meanwhile, a former member of the House of Representatives, Dino Melaye, has urged Nigerians to "wake up from their slumber" with a view to tackling "our tormentors and oppressors."
In his New Year Message, the former lawmaker wrote, "2014 will be better than 2013 for you. May God heal our land and fix all our tormentors and oppressors.
"May those corrupting the country and thereby destroying us as a people experience the hand of God this year. May Nigerians wake up from their slumber and gullibility and begin to agitate for change. It is well with us a people and nation."
Also, a former Minister of Education, Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili, said only "mature response" to citizens' demands for accountability would be the most "viable option" for the Presidency in the new year.
Ezekwesili, who said she had "many great moments" making use of Twitter in the just concluded year, said Nigerians should push for more stronger engagement with the government on various social platforms.
She said the Presidency should desist from name calling in 2014 and respond to citizens' demands with facts.
Ezekwesili tweeted, "For Citizens, 2014 must be the year of even stronger engagement with our democracy and much deeper scrutiny of governance. For governments at all levels, 2014 is a year that only mature response to citizens' demand for accountability will be the most viable option!
"For the National Assembly, which is the central symbol of our being a democracy, 2014 has to be a defining period in your relationship with citizens. For the Federal Government, 2014 leaves no room for "name call" and ignoring of the substance of any citizens' demand for accountability. Respond without facts."

EducationRe: Market Women Protest ASUU Strike At National Assembly by toptop: 2:39pm On Oct 15, 2013
Shine1177: Do the State University lecturers appointment letter carry Federal Government name? Do the State University lecturers collect their salaries and allowance from Federal Government? Is Mr. President the Visitor to these State Universities? How come State Varsity participate in this strike against the contract they signed with the respective State that employed them?

If because they both buy from the same market and pay the same rent in their respective State then Federal Polytechnic and State Polytechnic lecturers should be paid the same salary. The State Government worker and the Local Government worker should earn same salary using your analogy.

The State Universities lecturers have no business in this strike, its killing. Their game plan is rub my back i rub your back, which is against their ethic.
Your defence lacks merit. You dont make comparison from disimilar positions. State and federal university lecturers have the same academic qualifications(not on the same level with polytechnic staff) and they belong to the same union. As a union, they determine what is ethical and binding on their members. It is not for you to hide behind your keyboard and decide. Are state governors complaining? They will not because, they know that they do not have the fund to lift the standard of education as expected. They will certainly be glad to see FG fund their schools as they fund federal schools. Afterall, we have Nigerians from diffrent states all in state universities.

These so-called market women are localized rented jokers. All over the world, no government has succeded in pocketing Academics. These women just repeated GEJ answer during the presidential media chat about state universities joining strike. The question is; are all federal universities in Abuja? In almost every state in Nigeria, we have both federal and state owned institutions. These lecturers go to the same markets, hospitals, etc. So why should they be paid differently? They possess the same qualifications. Again, so we have a different job market for state university graduates? With time, state university lecturers will all seek to switch to federal universities. What a rented crowd strategy!!!

Car TalkPolice Biometric Vehicle Registration Commences. by toptop(op): 3:31pm On Sep 21, 2013
he police biometric vehicle registration Our ReporterSeptember 18, 2013 No Comments »
The authorities of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) recently announced a change in the process of vehicle registration from the present analogue Central Motor Registry (CMR) system to a digital Biometric Central Motor Registration (BCMR) system, from September 16.
According to the Force Public Relations Officer, Mr. Frank Mba, the new system is part of efforts to reposition the force to effectively tackle crime, particularly the high incidence of car theft, kidnapping and terrorism in the country. He also explained that the new system, which is capable of capturing 20 million fingerprints per second, is designed for forensic analysis under which fingerprints could be matched or verified against registered fingerprints collected during the registration. The database, he added, would be made available to other sister security agencies in the country. It is expected that the new system will provide one-stop forensic database for all manner of investigations, which will greatly enhance policing, tracking of missing cars and prevention of crime.
Details of the new vehicle registration, which could be done at designated banks, online and at police commands across the country, show that motorists will pay N3,500 to register their vehicles while owners of tricycles and motorcycles would pay N1,500 for the exercise.
Going by the explanations of the police spokesman, the vehicle registration initiative appears to be a good one, especially as it relates to its potentials for crime fighting. What the force will, however, need to explain is how this initiative is different from the new vehicle plate number/ registration scheme that was introduced sometime ago by the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) at such a high cost that the Federal legislature had to intervene to ensure that it was significantly reduced.
We recall that that scheme, which has not even now been fully complied with, was also said to have been informed by the same need to have a comprehensive database of vehicle owners’ details to reduce crime and improve general security, which the police is now propounding. The number plates, under the scheme, were attached to individual vehicles and their owners, and their details were captured and are available with the FRSC. The Corps Marshal, Mr. Osita Chidoka, had then also explained that the introduction of the new number plate would provide a comprehensive database of all vehicles in the country.
The objective of the new police BCMR to be obtained at a cost of N3500 appears to be the same as that of the FRSC number plates that many car owners are only just now trying to acquire.
The BCMR appears to be a duplication of efforts. Let the police provide more information on the scheme, especially as it will relate to car owners who have already obtained the new number plates, and already have their details on the FRSC database. If it applies only to new vehicle registrations, it could be okay, provided that vehicle owners will not at the same time have to undergo the same process with the FRSC.
It will be good to have a measure of cooperation between the police and the FRSC on the issue of car registration so that there will be no duplication of efforts and vehicle owners are not subjected to double charges on account of biometric vehicle registration.
The force has a duty to either convince Nigerians that its new BCMR scheme is not an avoidable duplication of FRSC efforts, or drop the idea so that the FRSC can continue with the exercise it has already started. Replicating this job by the police would be an unnecessary and confusing dissipation of energy. The result of this is that the public may interpret its new scheme as just another money-making effort.
Government should streamline the country’s security agencies and map out their specific functions. Duplication of security agencies has not in any significant way helped to curb the festering insecurity in many parts of the country. Let government consider the merger of agencies that perform similar functions to avoid duplication and unnecessary overlapping of responsibilities. Most of the functions currently being performed by the FRSC and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) are not quite different from police responsibilities.
The issue of vehicle registration should not be tied to revenue generation. Nigerians should not be unduly burdened with multiplicity of registration processes and fees, just because they want to register their vehicles, or obtain drivers’ licences. Let government centralize the issue of fingerprint database so that once a person is captured in one agency’s database, such information will be available to all other agencies that require it, as is done in advanced countries. There are, indeed, more pressing security challenges facing the police than the biometric registration of vehicles that is already being done by the FRSC.

PoliticsMike Ozekhome's Abductors Were Graduates by toptop(op): 9:31pm On Sep 12, 2013
https://thenationonlineng.net/new/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/oze-620x330.jpg

Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), who regained his freedom on Thursday after three weeks of his abduction, has appealed to the Federal Government to grant amnesty to kidnappers in the country.

Ozekhome made the call on Thursday while recounting his ordeal to newsmen at his residence in Lagos, after he was released by his abductors on Thursday morning.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ozekhome was abducted on Aug.23 at Ehor near Benin City in Edo.
Ozekhome said his son, Ilugbeka, and a lawyer in his chambers, Mr Dominic Ezerioha, were also abducted by the same kidnappers on Sept. 6, while negotiating for his release.

According to him, the kidnappers eventually released him and 12 others about 7 a.m. on Thursday.
The lawyer, however, said he was not aware if any ransom was paid to secure their freedom.
He said the security situation in the country was a national calamity which demanded urgent attention.

Ozekhome described his abductors as ”angry and desperate well-read graduates” who had a network of cells across the country.
He said during his interactions with them, they told him that they were pushed into kidnapping due to unemployment and poverty.

The human rights lawyer said he fell sick twice during his three-week ordeal, adding that his abductors brought a doctor who treated him for malaria and typhoid.

“As a matter of extreme urgency, I want the Federal Government to immediately grant amnesty to all kidnappers and institute an amnesty programme for all kidnappers.

“They told me that if they are given assurance that they will not be killed, they are ready to agree to the deal.”
He urged the government to declare a national state of emergency on youth unemployment and infrastructure decay.
Ozekhome appealed to the government not to neglect the families of the four policemen who were killed while trying to rescue him from his abductors.

“It was this morning that I was briefed that those gallant officers died while trying to rescue us from our abductors.
”Let me hereby call upon the Federal Government to set up a special foundation to cater for the welfare of the wives and children of these officers.”

He also urged the National Assembly to allow for state police in the ongoing amendment of the 1999 Constitution.
Ozekhome also called for the convocation of a national conference to address some of the problems bedevilling the country.

“As Nigerians, we need to sit down and renegotiate our existence as a country.
“We need to practice true federalism. We need to retool Nigeria.”

Ozekhome said the government should also tackle the problem of corruption in the country.
The human rights activist, while thanking Nigerians for their concern during his ordeal, debunked insinuations that his abduction was politically motivated.

“We were never profiled or targeted. It could have happened to anybody,” he said

ledafaze: One thing people don't understand is that online school is the way forward.

No bribing of lecturers or so... u have to be fully dedicated and its time consuming that full time schools here... most of these schools are highly recognised even in Nigeria and u ve no cause for alarm. I am a student of University of London via online studies and nothing distance will be placed on the certificate.

Guys, its time u start learning... if you can bank online, work online, social online.... schooling is not d beginning and wont be the last. I had a teleconference last week on this same issue from UK and I confirmed how recognised it is by Top companies all over the world. If you can defend it, pls go for it.

My advice to Jamb Writers, quit jamb and register with online schools, the education and structure is of higher grade. If u can work along with it, dats d best Cos u gather experience along, which is d Baba..


OP, carry on.
Be aware that university of london distant external studies is not recognised in Nigeria. You can confirm this from the NUC website. The same applies to most of this external internation degree programmes. Please be properly guided.
