They will only frustrate you when they see that you are the most qualified person for the job but they don't just want to give you the job. That is when you will hear flimsy excuses

Hmmm

Doremii:
If the name on someone ssce certificate is Tope Adam Folorunsho and his bsc and birth certificate is Folorunsho Tope Adam, is there a problem or the person can use the ssce like that ?

Will the person be denied a job? If so, what can the person do?

I don't think so especially if it's a private organization.

Attasco:
My friend,go and swear an affidavit that ABC or BAC is the same person. That the general public should take note. As for your instance on HND,PGD,Masters abd PhD is a different scenario.How can you lecture a university without having a university degree? Truth be told, there's a big gap between the polytechnic education and university education. I have HND, Bsc ,Msc and currently on PHD program. There's more research work in the University than polytechnic. Also,the highest you can see in the polytechnic is a PhD holders while in the University you can have upto 10-15 Professors in a department.

So there are no Professors in Polytechnics?

Anyone that complains doesn't want to give you the job. You are good to go.

Same with me but I don't have any problem with it. Even if you join politics it won't affect you since all the names reflected in your certificate

You don't have anything to worry about, some institutes start their names arrangement with first name while some start theirs with surname, they always carry out verification so if your hand is clean just don't worry your head.

Name arrangements do not matter. But if you're not sure of that you can go do affidavit in court.

If you bear ABC on a document and BCA on another and CAB in the next, the no problem about it at all.

But if you bear ABC on a document and BDA on another, then you need a court affidavit to back it up.

Most of we Nigerians don't know name arrangement (even when the order it should be written is indicated, we just write it the way we are used to writing it).
I mistakenly interchanged my first name and middle name while filling my registration form in my first year and i carried on with it that way throughout my university days and that was how the certificate came.
Most employers won't really notice the rearrangement, however just to be on safe side. Just go and swear an affidavits for name rearrangement. That makes it one and the same person.
Pls don't say it doesn't really matter because anyone looking for the slightest reason to disqualify you of any job has a very strong reason with that.

Go and swear affidavit for Reconciliation of names, and have it published in a national newspaper.

Make I go chop beans and bread first I dey come

Even in corporate organisations a bsc holder doing very well and a hnd holder doing very well, will both get to a point where the bsc holder goes ahead of him.
I also know of someone that finished from a poly and went for pgd before msc and when he was informed by a lecturer that he won't be able to get a lecturing job in a university without bsc, he applied for direct entry and got his bsc before finishing his msc.

It does not matter. Carry on with it . It can't affect you but if join politics your opponents will use it against you just like what enemies are doing to Tinubu

It matters. Unfortunately, many educated Nigerians don't understand the concept of name order.

zealousayo:

If you write another SSCE, red flags would definitely be raised. Don't you think it's a bigger issue if your secondary school certificate is carrying a date later than your degree certificate?

Good morning sir, pls shed more light on this. Because in my own case, I graduated with a b'Ed in French language in the year 2011; but before I could obtain my statement of result, I had to rewrite WAEC in 2016. This is because the school gave me french to study even though I didn't apply for it and neither did I have it as one of the subjects in my previous SSCE. Thanks.

Get affidavit and submit it along side your credentials else the interviewer will see your certificate as forged

Emma1Oj:
Yes. Most of them do look for one thing to complain Abt if they have their own candidate for the job.

You can't blame an employer for asking questions, the level of scam and deceit in Nigeria is very high therefore no one wants to be taken for a fool

In Nigeria yes but you can become a president with someone else's names and certificates

is tinubu's case name swap or name change?

YES, very possible... Happened to me with a financial institution few months after I finished service, at their regional headquarters at pH, when we were asked to come for documentation

Only solution is to swear an affidavit saying AGF, AFG,and GAF are one and the same person

Well, to be on the safe side, have a notarized affidavit to the effect that both names belongs to one and the same person for record and for official purposes. The notarized affidavit should have your passport photograph attached. That should sufficiently and legally take care of your fears.

Try and correct it now it’s important.

If you have to retake your ssce to coincide with bsc and birth certificate except you will never use the ssce again.

You have bsc and you are asking silly question, or is it social media that have drained your brain such that at this level you don't know important of what you are in? have you not heard of name regularization meaning having your name in every credentials in same sequence?
Bro I dash you one better slap.
Now listening carefully...
Go and swear an affidavit to regularize your name has it appears on your NIN, BVN, and Most Certificates, then present such to any institution where your name is irregular to make the correction and if possible re-issue you a new certificate in your correct legal names.
Simple.
No need for change of name.

Trust me if it’s abroad as a black person you already have comma then you come add long story join something that is alien to them they will just wonder how come and leave your file for one side.

It's good to be consistent though. However, anytime you scatter your names, do make sure you underline the Surname. That way people will know that's the Surname.

Another Tinubu in the making.

This will work if they will issue you a new certificate but you know how Nigerian institutions are notoriously inefficient with records and someone approaches them to verify your records only for them to revert to the old format.

Go and correct it, swear affidavit in court and also publish on newspaper stating Lastname , First name and middle name. You'll run into problems in future if you don't rectify it.

We can help you with HIGH court affidavit and newspaper publication at an affordable price

Doremii:
. Do you suggest a change of name on daily news paper because i am finding it difficult to apply for rearrangement of name on the waec certificate as it is over 10 years I took the exam and I didn't bother about it since I was able to use it for admission or should I just rewrite ssce?

I will suggest you do a newspaper publication and an affidavit showing clearly your name in the right order and make sure it correlates with that of your bank account. You never can tell what this minor issue you tend to overlook might cost you. All the best

[quote author=Doremii post=125780 However, I guess that newspaper publication and a high court affidavit will suffice then.[/quote]
This is exactly what you should do
It won't cost you more than 2k.
I did same.
Since then no more headache or fear about the arrangement of my name.

Doremii:
. Yeah you are right but I have seen someone who had hnd, PgD, master and PhD, who later obtained his Bsc just because he wasn't given a position of full time lecturerat the university because he had hnd at first. However, I guess that newspaper publication and a high court affidavit will suffice then.

I get you. Like you said, he should get court affidavit and do newspaper publication. Either way, he will always have to explain whenever he tenders the documents.
