Naija job applications are really, really TRASHHHHHHHH
I don't blame employers though. They are looking for jack-of-all-trade donkeys looking to accept a pittance
Not looking good

I think you should just drop the group link

Just look at this. A thread supposedly created for coding and coding issues has turned on its head into a free-for-all, slanging match.
A total disgrace

No wonder Nigeria is the way it is. People with their degrees earning a pittance as salary

wman:
Your BSc is extremely important. Forget any rubbish talk of school na scam
IT firms and companies will pick someone with a BSc over a school cert holder regardless of how skilled you are. The discrimination is high, competition is tough, and there are several skilled graduates available for hire today.

In the future, you might want to migrate to Canada, the USA and other European companies as a tech expatriate. A university degree makes it much easier for you. That certificate is tied to several things.

You can register for the part-time program, work in your spare time to earn money for yourself and your family. You can even go into graphics design, video editing, website design, data science, machine learning, A.I and other advanced skills that you can earn money freelancing part time.

Please, don't let anyone tell you that school is a scam. It will broaden your horizon and open you up to several opportunities.

Nigeria is hard. Being a Computer Science graduate with diverse skills will make things easier for you.

Forget about the little you are earning at your place of work. You can earn much more, employ others, live a comfortable life and build houses if you don't limit yourself.

Don't get too comfortable with the little you earn that you deprive yourself of a bright future.

GO BACK TO SCHOOL! and learn better skills.

I stopped reading after this line. This is how you know someone that has never travelled out of the country
I would say that IT is probably the field that doesn't rely too much on degrees. They want someone with experience that can do the job, and if you have professional certifications to back you up, even better.
Your statement is the EXACT opposite of what is applicable
That is not to say that getting a certificate would not come in handy in the future. If you can get it then go for it, because some management positions might require you to have one. But you can prosper in this field (Programming, Networking, et al) without one. Don't let anyone discourage you

Good luck!

The guy has plans...relax

When you say someone is ELECTROCUTED, they are either killed outright (most times this is the case), or they are badly, I repeat, badly injured, and we're talking third degree burns. Please take note
