Whenever I see tweets about not allowing people without Accounting degree to write the ICAN exams, I just laugh. Almost always tempted to say my piece, but naa. 😂
The irony is always funny to me because:
1. Professional qualifications are meant to create a pathway into a profession, not reserve it for people who already studied it at university.
2. The exams are already the gatekeeper. If you can’t meet the standard, you simply won’t qualify. Your university degree doesn’t change that.
3. People switch careers all the time. Someone who studied Engineering, Economics, Law or Mathematics can decide years later to pursue accounting and become an excellent accountant. Why should that opportunity be taken away?
4. And let’s be realistic. Professional bodies have operating costs, staff to pay, offices to run, technology to maintain, exams to administer and members to serve. Exam fees and membership dues help fund those activities. Why would they deliberately reduce the number of candidates without any corresponding benefit?
The CFA Program doesn’t require a finance degree. ACCA doesn’t require an accounting degree. Both focus on whether you can meet the required standard. Yet somehow, every now and then, people suggest ICAN should go in the opposite direction.
I honestly just find the conversation amusing. 😂
@chi81959 100level. The first class I had, we were told about how the first student with a first class graduated and died 38 years ago, so nobody can have a first class again😭. He also said A is for God and B is for him. Chai😔💔.
lol…Because I received the best/smartest art student award from my ss1-ss3 and I was awarded the overall best graduating art student award during my graduation.
Understood??
Nope.
Not anyone can go to school and get a Bsc, talk more of a PhD.
Do not water down on academic degree to score a point.
You need a certain level of intelligence and rigor to survive the 4 walls of classroom for 4 years.
Dead this mentality abeg 🤲

What makes you think a Biochemistry graduate from UNILAG and an SLT graduate from GAPOSA are the same thing?
Please don't try this again.
I will be the one to say it.
We witnessed in real time a manipulation-driven marriage.
For reasons best known to her, Jarvis wanted out of a relationship - Peller theatres his own accident to upend her decision.
Barely 6 months later, he marries her.
That script is popular.
Life is a journey ✨️ Rest well, Sir ✨️
