Meanwhile women never know wetin men dey pass through to be bread winners until they take on that responsibility. This same person that can not take care of her own needs, only her o probably, has to kpai herself. But same person will ridicule, disrespect, belittle, unappreciate and commonise the effort of a male to provide for her and her children. RIP Lucifer, may other female learn from her.
Stop crying already, Men these days are crying because they provide for the family!!!! Do you know that women go through a lot as well?

I have been providing for my wife and kids for the past 10 years but guess what, my wife has been cooking, cleaning, washing and caring for me and the 3 kids for the past 10 years so please enough of these tears from men, we are all in this together.

Now to the subject matter: I don’t know the dynamics in that family but this is wrong, totally wrong.
Stop this useless talk, it's this sort of entitlement mentality that killed our country.

Nigerian government hasn't created a social support to help anyone in Nigeria, no family members can replace that.

The family dynamics of this particular case doesn't matter, a crime is a crime.

If you think those ain't institutions then government should close them up.


Everything about this country is just wrong
I've said this countless times, out youth should avoid Polytechnics and Colleges of Education, they won't hear.
EducationRe: Class Of Degree by babakb: 9:51pm On Dec 03, 2025
Congratulations 👏 👏 👏

First Class and 2nd Class Upper graduates have lots of Scholarships opportunities abroad, across many countries.

Do your Passport (100k)
Attempt and pass Your IELTS Academic (300,000k)
And Start searching and applying to fully funded Masters Scholarships in Across the globe on this site www.scholarsavenue.com for scholarship opportunities.

Only unserious and unambitious people discourage others from pursuing First Class or 2nd Class Upper.

HND is a career trap grin grin grin You'll be stagnated in one place for donkey years until old age, youth should avoid HND like a plague.

No… anything a lecturer does an instructor does it too… from teaching, publishing papers, invigilation, supervision just name it.,, the difference is from office position, so why should a polytechnic graduate not breath?
Please calm down
We're still saying the same thing cheesy cheesy cheesy

The Instructor is a Junior here, he has to obtain his BSc before he levels up, why won't I urge the youth to go for BSc directly?
Let's stop taking the back seat please, HND stagnates people career and we all know it,

The essence of this thread is not to dehumanize HND graduates, but to push them to Obtain their BSc and stop wasting time.

Wow..
Anyway I don’t know where and where you went and verified but from what I know..
In a poly setting Bsc. Is Assistant lecturers at entry level while HND are Graduate Assistant. Then subsequently HND gets the portfolio of instructors and BSc Lecturers but they are all academic staff.
Btw I don’t need to verify it
But I’m glad you went further because the discriminations are real.
We're saying the same thing:
Instructor, Technologists, Etc are below Lecturer Cadre.
My question is? If the Polytechnics that train HND graduates can't employ HND graduates as Lecturers why then are people blabbing about discrimination, Polytechnics discriminate against their products so I'm not surprised if other sectors do the same😎😎😎

People should avoid Polytechnics, period.

They don't, HND graduates are not employed as full time lecturers in Polytechnics, go and verify.
I have asked lecturers working in Polytechnics and they verified it, I have read More that 10 Polytechnic recruitment announcements and None of them are employing HND graduates as Graduate Assistants or Assistant Lecturers.

Yes. You are still regurgitating.

All what you are saying is I have applied, I am applying for so so and so. I have not seen any improvement in your life since you acquired BSc based on what you have said so far.

There are have been some BSc holders who are jobless with their 2:1 and even first class. Why are they not getting those benefits you mentioned of BSc holders?

I have seen some ND holders who are working in IT firms and are making more money than you ever dreamed of.

What's your course of study?

I cited KPMG as example because about 12 or 15 years ago they always state it that HND holders are not eligible to apply but now they are eligible. I asked what has changed?

How many companies do you know?

I am more particular about you because you think life revolve around certificates.

There are many HND holders who later acquired BSc and their lives changed but your own is still hanging on mere dreams.

There are many HND holders who are working in companies you will ever dreamed of.

There are some SSCE holders who learned tech skills and are making big money from their homes you are here crying BSc this BSc that.

Wake up.



You are not informed at all.

About 3 to 4 years ago. A Polytechnic graduate from ilaro got full scholarship for PhD without master degree. That is just 1 in many.
You're really pained by my stance🤓🤓🤓

So you think I'm that dumb to come and state my personal achievements here grin grin grin

I'd rather put you in suspense so you continue to make your assumptions 🤗🤗🤗

You call it regurgitation but I call them facts and I'll state them here again!!

Polytechnics that train HND graduates don't employ them as Lecturers, they employ University graduates all through, they relegate HND graduates to the lab as technologists.

Apart from First Bank and Fidelity Bank, No Bank in Nigeria employs HND graduates as core staff of the bank, they only employ them as contract staff.

COREN doesn't certify HND graduates as Engineers, they only certify Degree holders.
HND graduates must obtain PGDEng and MEng plus a minimum of 2 years working experience before they are certified.

HND graduates are not eligible for all National and International Masters Scholarships ( I know you hate this very one)

HND graduates don't go beyond level 14 in federal and state civil service regardless of their additional qualifications except they obtained a Bachelor's Degree in the process.

You're blabbing about Tech, Do you know that Microsoft, Google, IBM and the rest have laid off thousands of employees because of the emergence of AI huh huh huh

Most of the Developed and Developing nations are suffering from ageing population and population decline, they're using fully funded Masters Scholarships to bring brilliant and hard working youth in and BSc is the only certificate recognized.

So your peeps with First Class and 2.1 in their Bachelors are sleeping on these opportunities.

HND = Has No Degree

You are still regurgitating the same old story.

I am more particular about you. Ever since you acquired your BSc, what has changed in your life? What sort of connection have you made that has transformed your life due to the BSc you hold?

Stop regurgitating the same old story.

KPMG company used to to state in their job advert that HND holders should not apply what has changed lately that they now include HND in the job requirements?

Can you search about the HND holders who had got full scholarship and see for yourself?

Your mentality has brought Nigeria where it is today. Glorifying certificates when Chinese people who only have technical skills are making things happen you are here worshiping certificate.
So it's only KPMG that recruit's HND, what a sad story for HND graduates grin grin grin

The onus is on you to mention HND graduates that got fully funded scholarships, you failed to mention any and you want me to do the homework for you smiley smiley smiley

You're asking if anything has changed for me since I obtained my BSc? If I answer you now, you'll insist that I'm regurgitating grin grin grin Anyways I'll list some for you:

This month, I applied for the World Economic Forum Cohort! (Google it)

I've been applying to Teach English in Japan and I've gotten a direction on what to do to land one.

I'll apply for The Swedish Institute Scholarship for Global Professionals between now and end of February next year.

HND graduates are not eligible to apply for all of these👆

I'm I still regurgitating?

Coder2Client:
Can you give me accurate figures?

Okay, let's assume the accurate figure is 2k BSc holders.

How many BSc holders are applying and how many are getting it? I expect all the applicants to get full scholarship based on your compaign against Polytechnic education.

Please, answer this☝️

Besides, you have not answered my questions.

You made me to do a little research about HND holders getting scholarship and I stumbled upon some who got full scholarship with their HND.
Please keep going to Polytechnics, All I know is even Polytechnics don't employ HND graduates as lecturers, Polytechnics employ University graduates to Lecture.

The management of Polytechnics know very well that a Diploma will always remain a Diploma whether HND or PGD.

As per your Answer!!!

Zenith Bank, Stanbic IBTC, GTB, Polaris Bank, UBA, Access Bank, Eco Bank etc don't employ HND graduates as core staff, except contract, which means they basically don't have a career there.

Polytechnics can't train Medical Doctors, Pharmacists, Radiographers, Medical Lab Scientists etc

Talking about scholarships! Go and check PTDF Scholarship that is run by the Nigerian Government, HND graduates are not eligible, is this not enough reason to avoid Polytechnics.
COREN won't certify HND graduates except they do PGD and Masters and acquire a minimum of 2 years working experience, whereas their BSc, BTec, BEng counterpart get certified immediately after presenting their Bachelor's Degree.

If you still can't see the advantages of BSc over HND then I don't know what to say to you grin grin grin

What has changed in your life since you got your BSc?

Over 1,000 Nigerian BSc graduates secure fully funded scholarships abroad every year, If you know you know and if you don't so be it.

It doesn't take away my earlier position. Instead of worrying yourself about HND palaver, simply get a professional certification in your area of specialization and put your mind at rest. I have never seen any of the 'Big four' in accounting line discriminating against HND with professional certification.

Less than 5% of Nigerian graduates work in academic setting as our lecturers are still there refusing to vacate their positions since donkey years.
We are in a global world now, but you're narrowing everything to the Accounting profession, of course I know that Nigerian Accounting graduate can get ICAN certified with their HND, but tell me why I would stick to a certificate that would limit my career or global outreach?

Do you know that HND graduates can't go above level 14 in Nigerian Federal or State Civil Service?
Do you know that HND graduates are not eligible for PTDF and other Federal Government Masters Scholarships in Nigeria or Abroad?
Do you know that COREN no longer certify HND graduates as engineers?
Do you know that HND graduates are not eligible for fully funded Masters Scholarships to countries like Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Croatia, Italy, Malaysia, Turkey, France, Russia, China etc?
Do you know that ACCA is affiliated with Oxford Brookes University to enable those certified by ACCA to obtain a Bachelor's Degree.

Again, why should a young Nigerian limit himself by sticking to HND certificate? Having a BSc certificate is way beyond being in Academics, you can use it to connect with the global community.
