Pls house, i just want to know if the switch of one's first and middle name on nysc certificate can have an adverse effect on the bearer.
Wht i mean is; if my name is Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, and on my nysc certificate its written as Goodluck Jonathan Ebele. The position of my surname, Goodluck, did not change.
Does it really matter? Will employers frown at tht? Cos my thots are afterall they're all my names.
Pls house wht do​you think?
Pls help cos I'm actually disturbed.

It matters to employers cos the names won't match with other document you would be asked to present. Documents like your birth certificate, your WAEC certificate, your university certificate....etc.

If you should do a change of name, then do it legally so it won't affect you later in the future. Go to a court and swear on the new name you bear, take that sworn affidavit along with you as proof when tendering your documents to any employer...that should be a valid evidence to notify them that the candidate whose NYSC certificate bears Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, is the same person as Goodluck Jonathan Ebele.

Ok, thanks so much.
Although frnds had earlier told me it didn't matter. But i think your posts makes more sense to me.

See wahala!! Which wan be GEJ and GJE again? Abeg, I don't really think it matters, the trio are still your names; more importantly, your surname was not interchanged, so wtf?

#NB: next time you wan use an example, try something like Bill Okechukwu Clinton

The problem with Nigerians is that we tend to over look issues without verifying properly if indeed they should be overlooked.

Have you applied for a job before?

If you have you would agree with me that it would matter heavily to employers cos how would you explain to them why some of your documents bears Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, and another Goodluck Jonathan Ebele.

There must be a valid evidence you must provide unless you would be rejected.

It would also matter if you decide to further you education by going for your masters.

You would agree with me that married females are asked to provide valid change of name (usually a publication from a news paper) and their valid marriage certificate.

This condition also applies to you as well...if you have contradictions in your documents as a result of your name, then you must rectify it by providing valid proof (a sworn affidavit)

Finally, it would also matter to embassies if you're applying for a visa...if the name in your documents do not match, and there isn't any rejoinder to explain the name contradictions, your application would be rejected.

Thanks so much. I just spoke with a bank executive, who told me it didn't matter as far as my surname wasn't switched and there was no error in spelling.

What if the name is Aare olayinka bunmi on ur bsc. Certificate and the one that was sent to nysc is Aare yinka bunmi.wil there be any problem,hrd nysc's strict with things like that.
