My guy went to meet his uncle in NNPC to help him with a job, uncle say make my guy go learn tailoring after bachelors and masters haba. What's the essence of going to school then? This entrepreneurship isn't for everybody, there are professional courses we study it because we wanted to practise such profession.

KingsCity:
You don't get it
ICAN trained you in accounting, financial management, performance management, etc. You should be able to leverage what you learned in those courses to make a successful entrepreneur. You need to get it, it's better to be an entrepreneur than an employee
ICAN told you the truth. If you don't get it now, 20 years down the line you will and then it might be too late for you

ednut1:
People are still trying to get admission and also write these exams. Ican is not in charge of industrialization or creating enabling environment for businesses.

mrrandomguy:

You are among the few who got my point. If I most attend a University or polytechnic as the case may be, the programme should be relevant to the profession I want to practice. There is BSc in Textiles, HND in Fashion Design etc. How can I become Chartered and you will be telling me to be making small chops? You should have told me before enrolling in the programme.

The average Nigerian lacks the common sense to understand the way the economy works

if you like learn all the skills in the world as long as the Nigerian economy is not promoting new businesses or startups no skill can save your business from crumbling.

Without favorable government policies there is no skill you can learn to move forward.

what we should be asking is what can we do to improve the standard of education in Nigeria so that the courses that people study can have an impact

the poor man teaches his children to study in universities so that they can get a certificate and then get a job and live a comfortable life

We don't go to school just to study and get the certificate.

we go there so that we can learn a course and then use what we have learnt to improve the economy that is why school was created

so if you guys keep running around learning skills how will the economy improve when the people that are supposed to get the intelligent ideas to change things are shying away from scoring high points in school.

if you think enterpreneurship will save Nigeria then you have learnt nothing from 2014 with all their enterpreneurship programs when recession came you saw how many people committed suicide. you all have come together and start bringing the solutions ourselves.

we can't expect the government to do anything impressive when we made the wrong decision by voting the wrong people.

You can never expect a goat to act like a lion, lead like a lion and protect like lion because it a goat is a goat. So when you bought the wrong leaders you can never expect them to improve the economy and lead like great leaders when you keep collecting bribes to vote the wrong people.. you can never expect them to act in the right way. Right now we have to come together and start looking for ways to improve the economy and improve the educational system because no skill you learn today will not be affected by the economy.

whatever skill you learn the dollar to naira rate will increase, the price of your goods make buying things unfavorable and many more things that you don't want experience.

Yujin:

He meant follow the advice you got from ICAN. Put your certificates under your box and start thinking of entrepreneurship to avoid more tears in the near future.

FarahAideed:
They are telling you the truth and you are still feeling entitled..if the generations before you had created businesses then there would be demand for the services of a chartered accountant ..Remember only a successful business can afford to keep a chartered accountant to man it's books especially in these days where small businesses can use quickbook applications to manage their books without any help of an accountant

jesmond3945:
but ican told him he has to be chartered to be able to practice now they are telling him to throway the ican certificate and go and hustle, is it fair?

Johnnyessence:
add depression to it. I don put my certificate under my box since 5years ago. work smart. keep on hustling.

thebosstrevor1:
The op can't accept reality.

How many exams did Igbo business men passed?

FarahAideed:


I am a trained accountant too and they are telling him the truth ..Today I am into Advertising and Gambling and I have no regrets

ambr055i:


Is so obvious they just want your dues and don't care about the profession, is not just your association but telling chartered accountants to go into fashion or baking is uncalled for.

Righteousness2:
Hahahaha

How many exams did successful Igbo, Yoruba and co business men passed? The Igbo apprenticeship system has made more billionaires than our formal educational system.

We have lost focus, period

jesmond3945:
meaning you are not using your ican certificate? Just take it you were scammed and move on.

jesmond3945:
you mean after paying money to ican?

ednut1:
its the reality on ground. They told us same when i did induction in 2015. The bitter truth is that Nigerians believe getting bsc 2.1 cfa, acca, ican, cisa will land them a job. In reality there are few jobs than qualified candidates. Blame our useless leaders since 1960

Kriss216:
I know a PhD holder riding Keke marwa for a living.

No go kill yourself say you dey gather nonsense certificate wey your children no go fit inherit when you die.

Johnnyessence:
na you pay money to them now .na you dey find certificate up and down.

mrrandomguy:
We focus too much on certificates and credentials while encouraging ourselves to embrace entrepreneurship.

Why should I train to become a chartered accountant just to end up as an entrepreneur?

Why should I go through the stress of passing an accounting exam that is meant to equip me with skills to perform a specialised task, but instead end up producing/selling electric cars, Android apps, liquid soap, small chops, waist beads, human hair and makeup?

Why should I pay annual dues to ICAN or any of these professional bodies, when infact my aim is to own a garment factory or become a fashion designer at least?

What happened to vocational and technical schools? We should be encouraged to attend these institutes If they wanted us to become any of the above.
We have lost focus and we should stop deceiving ourselves. They should just close the Universities and stop awarding BSc.

jesmond3945:
there are way many even living above the life you are living but that's not the point I am making. Why put people through stress and the end of the day give them a caveat that they should be self employed? After all they have bscs, why collect extra money in the name of being chartered? Why not allow them to pursue entrepreneurship?
