you are right because some youth are using it to drive keke and becoming slaves to primary 6 holders. Dont worry very soon your eye go clear. You think say you dey Canada.

When will my eyes clear? I have used my certificate to work for almost 20 years, married, bought cars, build a house, traveled abroad several times!

So because your own certificate is useless you want everyone else's to be useless too, God will surely forbid that.

Hardworking youths capable of defending their certificates will always excel...God cannot be mocked.

TradingGod:


Congratulations but don't put all your hope in that useless thing called certificate because that useless thing called certificate has made alot of youth to be absolutely useless to the society

Best reply. Get a skill. If I had known!

Commendable result. It took commitment and dedication to achieve this feat. I myself was also a good student during my study years. But I must tell you the truth, the men you mentioned did not become successful because of their talents or grades but because of how they branded themselves.

Visibility and promotion is key. Learn how to sell and market something of value to start taking money from the society , else your education might just be summarised only in that piece of certification and the oath and vow of poverty might be your consolation anthem.


I have been on nairaland for over 10 years and this is the best comment I ever read. Please I'll like to follow you on your social media handles so I can enjoy your wealth of wisdom. Thanks

I am currently a student in one of the best federal University in Nigeria. My current cgpa is 4.63 and I got it without any form of malpractice aka expo. I achieved it with hardwork and dedication. I am not boasting in any way but I am trying to build the confidence of average students that they can get an excellent result without engaging in any form of malpractice or looking for short cut to pass. What they need to do is to work very hard and be fully dedicated to their studies. And lastly, school is not a scam because lots of great men have benefited from it. Great men like Peter obi, chukwuma soludo, wole soyinka, yemi osinbajo.

I pray you maintain the first class streak and graduate with it but a bit skeptic as your user name is not looking like that of one who is going to keep at it.

TradingGod:
you mean the same Nigeria that is churning out millionaires everyday thanks to their acquired and applied skills

Certificate with no knowledge to back it up is useless

That is why you see someone who studied mechanical engineering in school but he is working as a cashier in the bank

Abeg wetim concern cashier with mechanical engineering


As you can see, the certificate is very useless since I can study mechanical engineering but still end up as a banker

It's the failed system and not the certificate.... Just reorientate yourself please.

In addition to the training, we will also guide you to get a good-paying tech job

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


This so-called great men have made Nigerian last in the world in everything. Going to school does not mean you know how to develop. In United States of America Nigerian film The universities. But when it becomes to employment they are 92 immigrants in America and 96 immigrants in income 2022. Because you go to good school because you go to good universities does not mean you know anything the white people are using the Education to milk the African and subsidize their own education. This is why when a African goes to university and comes out he performed nothing only a piece of paper is what they are but when you put it in a jar he cannot perform anything.. collecting their money and giving people piece of paper with good grades is the system today with Africa all over the world..

Abeg go to school because I can’t make any sense of what you typed up there

Thank you very much

if you Look closely you will see that the people shouting no jobs in nigeria are the same people that depend on their certificate for their survival

Can a very good plumber shout no job?

Can a very good programmer shout no job?



These certificates people will refuse to listen that certificate jobs is no longer lucrative in this 21st century

What matters now is what you can do and not what you graduated with

Obasempiree:

I swear i have learnt to rely on skill over any piece of paper.

Trust your God Given skill bro , because it pays
certificate life is for the weak

It creates this depending lifestyle

You depend on your parent for school fees
You depend on your lectures for good grades
You depend on the government for good jobs
You depend on the company during job interview
You depend on your boss for your monthly salary


Most times the fortunate ones that got a job, will be unhappy with the job because of the poor salary and lack of freedom


All this nonsense can never been heard with someone that has a very valuable skill in the society today because the world and society depend on his skill and they are ready to pay him millions so that his skill can solve their problem

Just make sure that you learn a skill..

OdefaGirl:



Certificate is not useless but your country, your failed system and your corrupt leaders turned acquiring certs to be a joke, thereby corrupting the mindsets of people like you. Open your eyes to the reality.... Nigeria is turning to a dream-killer habitat.

Ode girl done talk 😂

No way! Even in the US. You must have a skill to survive

Shancca:

now that you mention US

I have realized that it is this same certificate people that believe only japa is the way out of poverty because they couldn't find a job here in nigeria


If only they know that it is their skill that will provide the job for them and not certificate

No wonder many of them japa to US and start washing plates and working as a security guard
And these are people that spent millions of naira plus 5+ years in the university getting a degree in nigeria

And if you try to correct them to focus on the skill the certificate brings, they will act as if they know more than you

Medicine doesn't have classes.
She dey lie

Oh, I didnt study medicine and I really dont know much about the field aside my brother who just started. Thanks for clarification

I didn't see you mention my name as a great man

The truth is that thing called certificate encourage laziness in this country... Bcoz not all us will use it but many people hold on to it despite the hopeless situation in this country

First Class loading...

TradingGod:
certificate without quality understanding of that course is as good as dead

The reason we have half baked graduate is because they depend on the certificate rather than the knowledge the certificate will bring.


No wonder we keep seeing young employed graduates shouting 'no work' because all they can offer is their certificate yet so many people with skills are balling everyday,

A tech guy that I know has just completed his house thanks to his tech skills, now imagine if that guy depended on his certificate, by now he will have been shouting the 'no work' mantra like the rest

Bros, what do you mean 'half-baked'? Is it not this so called 'half-baked' graduate that enter Yankee and Europe and top their classes. It seems you don't believe in education. I can't fault you.
Again for the Op, you believe in education so dream big. Study hard and gain a top grade. It will help you get scholarships into schools anywhere in the world for MSc and Phd. It doesn't matter the son of who you are. See, you won't even need to work in Nigeria.

These are people that spent millions of naira to obtain a certificate in nigeria for 5+ years o

Visibility and promotion is key. Learn how to sell and market something of value to start taking money from the society , else your education might just be summarised only in that piece of certification and the oath and vow of poverty might be your consolation anthem.

School programs you to become an employee as it certifies your intelligence in the area of performance but doesn't prepare you for reality. only intelligent people are employed to work. The average smart individual learns how to market his brand, sell his idea and employ intelligent people to work in the rat race.

I'm not negating the place value of education in the society but there's a high chance extrapolating from your written piece that you are very much a good candidate for an employer to exploit, if you believe the delusion that school will give you the required success you desire.

Even your average university lecturer is fake as he is not a true professional In his field, not talk more of being successful in life without financial literacy, good business acumen and marketing prowess. The men you listed have the aforementioned skills and they weren't taught in school.

Anyone can become anything, just go to school and become. But if your lecturer is fake, then you will be fake.
If you must become, truly, you must learn from someone who is currently thriving in that field.

But If I would commend anyone to go to school, it's to learn how to be financially literate, a good sales man or marketer. Money rules the world and you need to learn how to win . That is how you win, also not negating the importance of spiritual, emotional and physical balance and enlightenment.

Good one. Are you currently employed or self employed?

Is my comprehension skill waning? Can somebody help to summarize this because I cannot grasp a single thing here.

Nice one bro! I celebrate you. And thank God for you.

However, please stay focused and be consistent in your work. Don't allow anybody to deceive you that your coming out with a good grade doesn't matter; it really does!

God will push you to the end and help you come out top!

I own a small business . It means I'm self employed(in my leisure) and I also keep my day job. So yes, technically I'm all of the above for now.
