'Cause the world won't ever see you 'til you do
No, they don't really care what you're going through
So, you gotta show 'em, baby
You gotta show 'em the real you
You gotta give 'em what you've got
No, don't let them see what you're not ......1/

In the oil and gas sector, we have terminologies like intervention (INT), completion (CMP), drilling (DRL), pull out of hole (POOH), run in hole (RIH), campaign (CMPG), intervention campaign (INTC), drilling campaign (DRLC), mobilization (MOB), demobilization (DEMOB), rigging up (RU), rigging down (RD), demob (DEM), drilling well on paper (DWOP), intervention on paper (IWOP), spud (SPD), kick (KCK), blowout preventer (BOP), logging (LOG), casing and cementing (C&C), stimulation (STM), well logging while drilling (LWD), wireline operations (WL), mud circulation (MC), production testing (PT), Christmas tree (CTX), plug and abandonment (P&A), workover (WO), flowback (FB), reservoir management (RM), pressure testing (PTST), subsea tieback (STB).

I’m curious; can you share with us some terms you use in your area of expertise that make your work sound more like a puzzle than a job? Let’s see how many we can collect! 😃

Finidi George and Kanu Nwankwo – Won with AFC Ajax after defeating AC Milan 1–0 in 1995.

John Obi Mikel – Won with Chelsea FC after beating FC Bayern Munich on penalties in 2012.

Saka was close to being the first Nigerian to win the champions league😭

[Bashir Usman, FCA @senatorbash]

The defeat hit hard. We almost recorded a casualty at my viewing centre in Calabar, an Arsenal supporter collapsed after watching Arsenal lose. 😂

[Bashir Usman, FCA @senatorbash]

Hakimi’s crosses today are poor and visionless.

[Bashir Usman, FCA @senatorbash]

Raya can fly for nonsense sha

[Bashir Usman, FCA @senatorbash]

Penalties.

Well done Arsenal. Packing the bus strategy worked in your favour

@Justus10stark_ @D_slump_god @olu_oyeniyi He will be fine, eventually.
ICAN no be person mate.

A breakdown of the results released by Chiroma read,
• “Outstanding performance: Candidates graded in First Class: 5 (0.2%).
•“Candidates graded in Second Class Upper: 77 (3.06%).
• Candidates graded in Second Class Lower Upper: 633 (25.17%)
• “Candidates in Pass: 1,067 (42.42%)
• “Candidate with Conditional Pass: 82 (3.26%)
• “Candidates who failed: 632 (25.12%)
• “Absent: 17 (0.7%)
• “Withheld: 2 (0.08%)”

That pass category is what makes me feel that it is a lot easier compared to ICAN.

@senatorbash @D_slump_god @olu_oyeniyi He’s speaking from the pain of his struggles
Now I understand him
He’s lost it completely 😂😂🙏🏽

Arsenal is not coming out to play as a finalist.

PSG vs Bayern remains the best UCL match for the season.

[Bashir Usman, FCA @senatorbash]

@Justus10stark_ @D_slump_god @olu_oyeniyi I heard that he is still writing. Uncle is already claiming ACA, ahead of his induction

@phatoyeh Thank you

[Bashir Usman, FCA @senatorbash]

😂😂 Counsel, if you write all the ICAN papers within two months and pass them at one sitting, that would be a testament to your brilliance and dedication, not proof that ICAN is easy. Meanwhile, we have some SANs that have been writing ICAN for years and are yet to clear it.

In fact, I would encourage you and Senator Dino your colleague to take up the challenge. The experience may even leave you two with a greater appreciation for what accountants go through. Passing a difficult exam doesn’t reduce its difficulty; it simply means you conquered it.

After all, people have climbed Mount Everest. We don’t therefore conclude that Everest is just a hill. 😂

[Dr. Fendyy @Dr_Fendyy]

I'm a lawyer. I do not have any background in accounting. However, if you are ready to stake your money, I can assure you I would write all the ICAN courses within two months of preparation and clear all the courses at a go. This is a challenge to you. Let me know if you are willing to accept it.

[Bashir Usman, FCA @senatorbash]

@jannygel 😂😂😂 thank you

[Bashir Usman, FCA @senatorbash]

The difference is that in the NBA and ANAN(another accounting professional examinations), candidates can still earn a pass classification with scores below 50%.

In ICAN, however, there is no “Pass” grade as a classification. You either meet the pass mark of 50% for the paper or you fail it.

That is why an ICAN candidate scoring 49% goes home empty-handed, while in some other professional programmes, a lower score may still earn a pass classification.

So when someone boasts about passing with 40%, accountants are usually wondering whether that score would even keep the exam script out of the failure pile in ICAN. 😂

[Umar Ibrahim Nasale @nasale_umar]

@senatorbash What I believe makes the difference is how ICAN allows candidates to sit for the exams. The only reason this comparison is made is I think because of how flexible ICAN has been made. While Bar Finals people get locked in and do it within a certain time.

[Bashir Usman, FCA @senatorbash]

Have you heard of receivership and liquidation? These are specialized areas of practice, and many lawyers working in them continually upskill and acquire additional expertise to strengthen their professional portfolio and enhance their career prospects.

[Dr. Fendyy @Dr_Fendyy]

Really? I'm not pretty sure any SAN would be interested in writing ICAN. To what end? Majority of lawyers who wrote ICAN only did it to expand their net career wise. Nothing more. I have moderately brilliant colleagues who attempted ICAN and cleared all the courses at a go. I mean guys with zero background in Accounting. This goes to say that the ICAN exam is not as complex as you are making it appear. That said. I honestly don't understand this "Dino" analogy everyone is making. Are you actually trying to put his level of brilliance into contest? I understand Dino is rough and toutish. I, however, have never doubted his intelligence wavelength. Dino is a brilliant fellow. He is the last person anyone would use as a guage for measuring the standards of the bar exam. While I'm not down for discrediting ICAN exam, I still stand on the opinion that the Bar exam is way harder than it.
