It's just an irony of life my brother. But it is the Truth. Even Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were University drop out. There is not so much focus on University Degrees this days in that field of endeavor.

There must be an empty space between your ears

I am talking about employment as a worker

The man said he did not use his computer science degree in Nigeria and that he got a computer related job.

Just the other day I saw a friend on linkedin, one who was head of dept in a bank, now employed in Canada as an accounting analyst. His 15 + years of banking experience counted for nothing.

But yet a person who never even worked with his degree is claiming it opened doors.

On top of that, you are conflating admission to paid university programs (a source of income for the uk) with employment.

You are exactly the kind of suckers those agents love. One incapable of rational thought and who thinks the streets of the west are paved with gold for the picking

Pymetrics:

You're a liar. Nigeria degree are very much rated abroad. UK for example accepts Nigeria degree direct to Msc. Some of their schools also accepts waec and neco in place of IELTS. Also your degree in Nigeria with solid years of experience will get you similar job in UK or you add UK master degree and join similar jobs.
In US, Nigeria degree can be use to obtain direct PhD admissions without writing toefl, gre and with full funding. Canada and Australia nko. You will do Wes evaluation for Canada and that's all. Virtually all countries accepts our degree. Don't just lie and castigate Nigeria. We are not that bad.

You're a liar.

You're just lucky, so thank your stars.
Only very few get to make use of their Nigerian academic qualifications to secure jobs abroad.

Did you read what that guy wrote?

GloriousGbola:
The man is lying. Nigerian degrees are not rated abroad. Even more so if you do not have relevant working experience. No one is going to employ an inexperienced Nigerian on the basis of his degree alone.

Sit down there and keep saying everything is a lie.My degree is from a state university in Nigeria. I’m working for a multinational. Not just at ordinary level.
I just got a regional recognition for an outstanding performance. Keep saying everything is a lie.

Mobolaaji:

You are lying still. You can compete with your degree from Nigeria at any level. I’m using my degree with a multinational.

sqlPAIN:
Thank God you said "abroad"... You can't study such Course in a third world country like Nigeria and not expect to suffer after graduation, except japa don sure for you after graduation.. You were lucky to have been able to travel but what of those that can't?

Gerrard59:


Yet Nigerians are getting employed in the same abroad with ease? Abi the Nigerians working with Nigerian degrees in Canada, US, UK, Germany are what? Aliens?

For mainly science-oriented degrees, the opportunities are immense. The degrees are rated equal in getting a job, ascendancy through the ranks might another issue. But it is entirely false to say Nigerian degrees are disregarded in the abroad.

GloriousGbola:


If you know what's good for you, you are working on a masters degree in the country where you reisde. If you are as dumb as your posts portray, you will keep cruising on your lateral transfer until there is a layoff and then you see just how precarious your position really is and how Nigerian degrees are viewed

Gerrard59:


When I read the profile of a recently retrenched Facebook AI developer who attended Stanford University and MIT for his BS & PhD, I asked myself, is it by degrees obtained or universities attended?

ednut1:
this is false. The doctors, nurses, auditors, tech people being hired from Nigeria studied where The Nigerians in Canada and USA getting good jobs are also using their 9ja degrees

You don't want to know where I m typing from

BabaAgba79:


Yes ooo. Westerners are recruiting Africans into their labour force! Nigerian doctors, nurses, all health related workers, engineers, IT gurus, Accountants, Teachers are being recruited by the West! Yet they claim that African universities are the worst on earth! Imagine! Keep spinning their economy and make more money, since our leaders dont want to receive sense! One day, if Nigeria still exists, only old men and women will be left right here!

truthsayer009:


Is that what he told you OR you're are implying?

There are so many people that their Nigerian experience helps them, Canadians will rather hire someone with enough experience that someone without. 15 years experience in Banking is not beans, all you need to do in Canada is to write certifications required to go into Finance Analyst route. Your experience in Finance will go a long way to separate you from others. With this type of nonsense opinions, I doubt if any of you here has worked for a top bank in Nigeria before. With certifications required to go into the analyst route, you can apply for companies like JP Morgan Chase and co.

There are a lot of Unilag students recruited by Bloomberg, JP Morgan and co. straight from graduation, even as interns from Unilag. Your Nigerian degree can open doors for you if you know how to use it.

emmaodet:


Don’t mind them.
