Is It Advisable To Reduce My Age In All Documents? by SweetVibe: 3:34pm On Mar 30, 2021
I will be graduating from the university this Year at the age of 25 but I already have extra year which means I can only graduate next year at the age of 26.
My school is very slow to mobilize student for NYSC which means I will finish my NYSC at the age of 28.You all know how the Nigeria Job market discriminate alot.

I was born in 1996 which is well written in my WAEC, NIN, BVN, FSLC, JAMB and School document but am thinking of reducing my date of birth to year 2000 which was what I use for my Voters Card.
please do you think this is a good move or should I forget about this idea and continue using my real date of birth.
I need your opinions please.

That act may look like a Harmless lie but verily I say unto you, it is a Lie and will be recorded in Heaven as a Lie.

The times are not normal,
The Earth is so tensed,
This is not the time for us to engage in any format of Evil.
HARPAZO is upon us!
JESUS is about to snatch his saints outta heee.
That lie will Hinder you from taking off!

Do not do it! It is Better for you to be sacked or Rejected for being Honest than for you to be accepted and be Rejected in Heaven.

Employers want someone who is "Effective".


Gather enough skills in your field and be of good character.

In this era of NIN and BVN you want to reduce your age? It will take your employer less than 5 minutes to access your data via your BVN and once your details starts contradicting each other, you should kiss that job good bye cos integrity is one of the major traits every prospective employer looks out for when hiring an employee.

BVN can be corrected in the bank, but for NIN, I doubt it.

Don't bother lying, your secondary school attendance dates will always give you away.

Except you intend to pursue jobs in the public sector, it's pointless to do a change of age because private employers refer to the bold to ascertain your accurate age during recruitment.
