@mjayyyy_y Of course, what you stated is correct, I'll re-emphasize on the structural defects....liken it to two runners running the same distance but different terrains.
@mjayyyy_y@Historiaann1 I get your point but there are structural defects in public uni. Yes, A starts from 70 and 40 is the lowest pass mark but it’s not as it looks on paper. I can’t really explain tbh
But credit to those in private uni too. It’s not easy also.

The Actuarial Profession: What is it really all about?
Most time I introduce myself as an actuarial consultant, I usually end up explaining what an actuary is. Not complaining, it comes with the territory 😄
Earlier this year, @SOActuaries did a street interview on "Who is an actuary?" in New York (see the short below)
The responses were hilarious:
-Sanctuary
-Animal scientist
-Something like a church word
-A type of bird
-It’s a big word… energetic
But behind the confusion is a profession that’s actually one of the oldest, most technical, and most respected in global finance.
For context,
· Institute of Actuaries (UK) was established in 1848
· Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (oldest accounting body) was established in 1854
· CFA Institute was established in 1947
Fun fact, the actuarial profession originally supplied most of the investment analysts into the financial system prior to the establishment of CFA. Everything from financial mathematics to valuation theory to quantitative risk, all existed in actuarial training long ago
And yes, actuaries remain one of the highest paid career in Nigeria and globally, with fast, exam driven career progression and unmatched job security.
In this thread, I tried to explain
1. What is an Actuary and what do they really do?
2. How to be an Actuary
3. Are Actuaries limited to insurance Industry?
4. Who is it for and what is in it for you?
5. How many actuaries does Nigeria need
6. Global opportunities
7. Final thought

I generated this image to make you understand my point better. Even though Man City finished second on the English Premier League table and Manchester United finished third, Man City are in a mournful sadness while Man United are celebrating.
This is the philosophical condition of all human ambition. Our joy and suffering are not measured in absolute position, but in distance from where we thought we would be.
I just saw ICAN FM questions and I checked no 2 (Feli plc) and I was so sure I had seen this question before in SFM PQ. I went to check SFM PQ and it was NOV 2024 diet Q3. Na only date dem change, all the figures are same thing 🤣
If you are preparing for FM, solve SFM PQ 👍
.@grds_ng you can do better next time. 👍. Wema dividend received ✅
Btw, I checked your client list and I also saw Ikeja hotels plc as part. Please pay on time for that one too.
@adesina_peace ICAN intentionally sets IAS 1 in FR as compulsory question because they know it would waste students' time! If dem no set IAS 1, dem go set cashflow. They can't set Group for question 1 laye 😹
