Our MBBS is just the primary qualification required...to move up the ladder there you need to enroll in many of their own certified programs.
And bear in mind that MBBS took 6-8yrs of someone life to obtain.

One thing about IT is its strictly by skill or know-how, not by degree. You can see a skilled developer that can hack the backend of a website with just SSCE cert.

Interesting.

Likewise, if a foreign trained doctor (regardless of the country) wants to practice in Nigeria, they'd need to pass some Nigerian exams as well. That's the standard in most countries. As for IT; yes, it's skill based but many Nigerians got into that field by studying Computer Science or Engineering. The school might not have given them all the skills they need to thrive in the IT world but the degree was an eye opener for them; it gave them the foundation. Many people have moved to Canada and France with their French language degrees. A lot of people from that same Nigeria are working as professionals outside the country with thier Nigerian degrees.

My point is, individual experiences differ. Your university degree might not be useful to you (not necessarily your fault), but that doesn't make universities degrees generally useless. It gives some people the foundation to build on. The issue is when you expect that having one should automatically make life easier for you. Well, that's not the case even in the Western world. While Schools in the West are obviously far better than what you have in Nigeria, the students still succeed by self development. The schools mostly provide the enabling environment for them.

I know education is not so great in Nigeria, but those who couldn't make anything out of the little the system can offer should not discourage those who are willing to give it a go. A hungry man does not reject a plate of food cause it's not big enough to satisfy him. Unless you have plans of studying abroad, it would be shameful not to strive for a degree on the grounds that it's not good enough.

Just an opinion.
well said

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ that certificate will never be useful. I had it in 2016 when I was in 100 level, one lawyer and his crew posing as human rights activists, used it to inspire self confidence in us. Telling us to present it anytime police arrests or harrases us. πŸ˜‚
Now, u be the judge, will the certificate ever be useful?

Mine is one seminar I paid N500 to attend. Till now I don't know the usefulness of that certificate.

The usefulness is that the junior WAEC is used to promote students from junior secondary / middle school to secondary / high school

My BECE certificate and My NABTEP modular examinations certificate I obtained why in JSS 3. Omo that NABTEB certificate is very useless to the core. I got a distinction in Data processing from the certificate but still don't know what that means uptill now. One other thing that makes me angry with the paper is the portion where it is written, " This is not a certificate" embarassed grin
