I earned my OND & HND many years ago, and recently someone tried to make light/joke of my accomplishment. I had to explain to them why technical and practical knowledge is as vital as formal education. I also thanked God that today, universities now allow HND holders to upgrade to a BSc in just three semesters, a practical solution that recognizes our effort and skill without forcing us to start from scratch.

In Nigeria, HND holders have long faced quiet but damaging discrimination. You dedicate years to polytechnic education, gain hands-on experience, complete industrial training, and often outperform graduates from universities, yet you are still regarded as less than. This is not a story from the past. In 2026, it continues across ministries, banks, oil companies, hospitals, and private firms from Lagos to Abuja and beyond. Even universities, which should recognize polytechnic graduates, often reinforce the divide. Promotions stall, salaries start lower, and job postings frequently read BSc preferred.

I have personally witnessed HND engineers managing projects worth billions, only to see fresh BSc graduates rise faster. I know a brilliant HND computer scientist in Lagos who developed a fintech platform but was blocked from a leadership role because the HR policy demanded a first degree. Another HND nurse, with over a decade of experience, was told she could not become Chief Nursing Officer without a BSc. These examples are far from rare. They reflect the daily hurdles faced by thousands of hardworking HND holders.

The paradox is stark. Polytechnics exist to equip professionals with practical, industry-ready skills, yet society often devalues what they produce. Employers cling to outdated notions of university superiority, wasting talent, fostering frustration, and prompting many skilled individuals to either settle for less or leave the country. Even Universities of Technology, whose curricula align closely with polytechnics, are not immune to this bias.

Thankfully, there is a solution. Nigerian universities now offer accelerated HND to BSc Conversion Programmes. And the best part? You can complete it in just three semesters. This is designed for working professionals. There is no need to abandon your career or family commitments. The programme bridges the gap between practical polytechnic education and theoretical university knowledge, focusing only on advanced courses, projects, and dissertation work required for the BSc. Universities such as Imo State University, Lagos State University, Bells University of Technology, Uni Uyo, Uniport, Dominican University, Southwestern University, and Kwara State University now run these programmes, with flexible schedules including weekends and online classes.

The advantages are clear. The cost is far lower than starting a full degree. You enter with your HND and a few O’Level credits. Upon completion, your BSc is recognized fully, with no qualifiers, no extra explanations, and no barriers at job interviews or promotion boards.

To every HND holder, do not wait for the system to change on its own. Three semesters is a small price for years of opportunity lost. Imagine walking into your next appraisal or job application with a BSc in hand, ready to claim your rightful place. This is not just about a degree. It is about reclaiming your dignity, proving your capability, and refusing to let outdated labels define your future.

The choice is yours. Step into the programme, earn your BSc, and show the world that your skills and education are equal to any challenge. Do not let the past determine your path. Take charge of your career and redefine what it means to be an HND holder in Nigeria today.

In 1959, Nigerians woke up one morning to learn that a 65-year-old chief called Nwiboko Obodo from Abakaliki (today's Ebonyi State) had been hanged with five aides after he ordered the execu!ion of 400 people.

Chief Nwiboko Obodo told DRUM magazine, in a de@th-cell message, one day in 1959, "I was the leader of the Odoziobodo Society because I was convinced that the intention behind the formation of the society was for the good of my people. The society helped make it impossible for th!eves to roam my area of Abakaliki as they used to do before. The society also planned to stamp out adūltery, as it is a social ev!l.

"'I k!lled my wife, Nwagbo Igbeagu, because she betrayed me. She was my chief wife and had all the keys to my safes. One day, she took thi!eves into my house, and I lost lots of money. After this, I drove her away from my house. But her people later came to plead with me to take her back.

"'And because she's my chief wife, I made her live with my young son, Sunday. She later pøisoned Sunday, who d!ēd. Can God be angry with me for k!ll!ng such a w!cked woman? I do not think so. I'm not sorry for having k!lled her. If after dæth I can still meet her, I will k!ll her all over again."

I Love My Bro Isaac, I'm His Dad Technically;1 Day He'll Come To Me,All Family Has Challenges—Fayose

Former Governor Ayodele Fayose has opened up about his strained relationship with his siblings, particularly his younger brother, Isaac Fayose, in an interview with Channels Television. Despite the tension, Fayose emphasized that love remains at the core of his relationship with Isaac and his entire family.

Speaking candidly, Fayose described himself as a father figure to Isaac, expressing confidence that the rift between them will eventually be resolved. He acknowledged that while disagreements are a natural part of family life, his bond with his siblings remains strong and unbroken.

In his words, “I love Isaac, I shall continue to love him,” Fayose said. “What they call an elder is different when they call a younger brother. I am Isaac's father technically. One day Isaac will come back to me. Isaac does not have to seek my advice; he is an adult.”

Fayose went further to stress that familial disagreements are not unusual and occur in many households, but they tend to draw attention when they involve high-profile individuals. “May I say I shall continue to love my siblings. In every family, there are challenges like this. It is because it is Fayose that is why the noise is in the roof,” he added.

The former governor’s comments highlight his approach to conflict resolution within families, emphasizing patience, unconditional love, and the recognition that adult children can make their own decisions. By framing himself as a supportive figure rather than a disciplinarian, Fayose seeks to maintain respect and understanding despite differences.

Analysts note that Fayose’s public acknowledgment of family tensions reflects a broader cultural expectation in Nigeria, where elders are often expected to mediate disputes and demonstrate guidance and wisdom. By positioning himself as a paternal figure, Fayose reinforces his role as a mentor within his family, while also respecting Isaac’s autonomy.

Fayose’s interview also provides insight into how public figures navigate personal issues under the scrutiny of the media and the public. In his case, he chose transparency and emotional honesty, signaling that familial love and personal disagreements can coexist without severing bonds.

Observers suggest that Fayose’s comments could serve as an example for other families experiencing similar tensions, emphasizing that patience, empathy, and the willingness to forgive are essential in maintaining long-term relationships. His words underscore that conflicts, even when publicized, do not necessarily indicate irreparable divides

Throughout the interview, Fayose maintained a tone of optimism and reassurance, reflecting a belief in eventual reconciliation. His reference to challenges being a normal part of family life normalizes disagreements and frames them as opportunities for growth and understanding.

“I love my bro Isaac, I’m his dad technically; one day he’ll come to me,” Fayose concluded, reaffirming his enduring affection and commitment to his family despite the noise and controversies surrounding them.

BREAKING: RUSSIA 🇷🇺 BREAK THROUGH US🇺🇸 IMPOSED BLOCKADE ON CUBA 🇨🇺

Russian 🇷🇺 tanker carrying 100,000 tons of crude oil arrives in Cuba.🇨🇺 . The Russian tanker Anatoly Kolodkin (carrying ~100,000 tons / 730,000 barrels of crude oil as humanitarian aid) arrived today at Matanzas port, Cuba.

As of March 2026, nearly 3 months now , the U.S. has enforced a tightened blockade targeting fuel supplies to Cuba, causing severe nationwide blackouts and energy shortages. The Trump administration implemented this action through economic sanctions, including threats of tariffs on nations supplying oil to Havana, creating a severe humanitarian crisis.

The blockade has created severe food, fuel, and medical shortages, prompting rare protests and putting healthcare services in peril.

Thank you Russia 🇷🇺 .
