PoliticsRe: Police Rescues Frank Nweke Jnr From Being Kidnapped (photo) by icon8: 4:04pm On Mar 30, 2017
The level of illiteracy in Nigeria is a time bomb waiting to explode...a disaster waiting to happen!

That said, Frank Jr. only tweeted "Police to my rescue...". How anybody would conclude that means he was "rescued from kidnappers" beats me.

And no one seemed to have seen the difference till the thread reached its 2nd page?

MrEgbegbe:

I have a question

I wanted to buy a detached house in Lekki or Victoria island and I was budgeting 50-60 Mil but today i saw a post about Oritse Femi's Lekki house he bought for 40 mil and people were saying that the house is not up to taste/expectations

To me his house is worth 50 million

Are homes that cheap in Lagos ??
His house was quoted at 400 mil, not 40. Hence the raised eyebrows.

PoliticsRe: Melaye Has Not Collected His Original Certificate From Ahmadu Bello University by icon8: 4:49pm On Mar 27, 2017
OBAGADAFFI:
My brother hence INEC has accepted his statement of result as proof, the rest is history. grin
Why will a sane human being be parading a "statement of result" after 17 years of graduation, when he could have easily collected the original certificate?

Remember he goes back to that school on a regular basis, even claiming to be on a second Mater's degree program in the same school? All he needed to have done was walk into the Academic Affairs section of the Registry to pick up his original certificate. Heck, he wasn't even on that campus only about 2 weeks ago.

The only reasonable answer to my poser is: there is no certificate anywhere!
Dino no graduate shishi from ABU!!
GBAM!!!
PoliticsRe: Melaye Has Not Collected His Original Certificate From Ahmadu Bello University by icon8: 4:38pm On Mar 27, 2017
OBAGADAFFI:
Its either the true certificates or the equivalent.

For example if you don't have your certificate from you school, you must provide the original statement for that school.

Welcome to Nigeria. grin
Not after 17 years! Not even in Nigeria!!

You dont need more than Secondary School Certificate (number of credits does not even count) to contest for Senate or House in Nigeria.
I am well aware of this fact, but my point is, who applies for a job using a Secondary School Certificate when they have a Bachelor's degree?
PoliticsRe: Melaye Has Not Collected His Original Certificate From Ahmadu Bello University by icon8: 4:30pm On Mar 27, 2017
mavinc4u:
This certificate have 3 categories

To whom it may concern .
Statement more like partial certificate.
Original certificate.

The 3 serves the same purpose, it all depends on which is being insisted on.
No, they do not! The first two always have a validity period, after which they become invalid and unacceptable; and are therefore never a permanent substitute for the original certificate.
PoliticsRe: Melaye Has Not Collected His Original Certificate From Ahmadu Bello University by icon8: 4:27pm On Mar 27, 2017
Seventeen years is not same as six years!

Candidates in public elections are required to submit certified true copies of all certificates of claimed educational qualifications to the electoral body. In this case, I'm sure Dino claimed the following:

1. School Leaving Certificate
2. O'level Certificate (WASC/SSCE)
3. Bachelor's Degree
4. Master's Degree
5. Etc

My question is, what certificate did he provide (to INEC) to support his claim of having a Bachelor's degree?

9jakohai:
Not Dino's fan, but many Nigerians do not collect their certificates on time...especially when your statement of result is enough to get you a job.

I got jobs using just my statement of result for the first six years post graduation....even did a Masters using just that statement of result. I ended up collecting my certificate six years after graduating due to 1) delays from my university 2) I needed it to collect another professional certificate .

Guyman02:
I am yet to collect my original certificate but I have a second degree. I submitted by Statement of Result and thats all they needed.
Too busy to bother so much about certificate, I have acquired other knowledge and like Dino I am not practicing in my field of study. So what else?
Have you contested an elective position in Nigeria before? If so, what certificate did you submit to INEC?
PoliticsRe: Melaye Has Not Collected His Original Certificate From Ahmadu Bello University by icon8: 4:17pm On Mar 27, 2017
mavinc4u:
Let me be honest with you, there are people on this nairaland that have not collected theirs after 20 years or more. Once that person is comfortable where he or she is then he/ she does not bother about anything unless is needed or asked to be provided. People that always rushed to collect that are the ones still struggling grin
Even when the certificate is required by INEC during nomination of candidates for electoral positions?

shevchenko:
Nigerians are too dumb for my likeing .You don't need a certificate when you graduate .You only need a transcripts .You only need a certificate if its asked for .Your statement of result can be used instead .
Getting a certificate requires clearance from library ,department ,bursary just to show you didn't owe any money while schooling .Nigerians are illiterates
The bolded is not true. Statements of results have validity, typically one year - and are never a permanent substitute for certificates, just temporary, while the certificates are being produced and endorsed.
