“For the sake of this article, a formal certificate is considered as the certificate obtained from a tertiary institution; whether Universities, Polytechnics, Monotechnics or other higher institutions of learning”.

Our country has evolved. She is still evolving. She has evolved in almost every sector. She has evolved into a tragic bad on one part and an astonishingly advanced enclave on the other part. The interest of this article pertains to the evolvement between our formal certificates and their relationship with guaranteed meal tickets.

There has been an age long debate that cuts across many generations in this country about whose generation is Nigeria better or worse. Some commentators proposed that the 1960s’, 1970s’, and 1980s’, Nigeria was the best. Younger generations said the 1990s and 2000s’ is better. Whatever indices must have been used to reach both conclusions will suffice for another fresh article. But I want to focus on what formal certificates meant between the earlier generations and what obtains in today’s reality.

It was my dad that told me about how first degree graduates were treated in the 60’s, 70’s and even early 80’s. You may have been told similar stories of how graduates got cars upon graduation, white collar jobs were already waiting for them to graduate amongst several other pecks that seems unbelievable in today’s reality. In those days, all you needed to liberate yourself and your family from sheer poverty and consuming despondency was a degree from a tertiary institution. Your degree or certificate was the ticket and the only ticket you needed to transfer from lack to plenty, from have-not to have. I once attended a course on Facilities Engineering, Operations and Maintenance Management and the facilitator corroborated my dad’s tale to me, he was a beneficiary of the account my dad told me. Engr X (name withheld), a graduate of University of Ibadan, in the department of chemical engineering in 1978, before he was shortlisted for NYSC, already had a job waiting in Shell, where he eventually worked for 33years before voluntarily resigning as a Lead Projects Engineer. This is only one out of several other examples. These kinds of stories were popular until the 90s’.

Then, something happened! Something that is better imagined than described. This thing that happened will suffice for a PhD thesis if you want to undertake a study on it. Let’s not go into that story.

These pecks and assurances of securing white collar jobs started fading away like a diffusing flame, thousands of graduates now have to write application letters, converge at stadiums to write aptitude tests for fifteen (15) vacant positions, amongst other unspeakable tendencies. More unfortunately is that the trend deteriorates every other day. A close comparism on what is obtainable between then and now reveals that the distance between the experience then and now can be liken to the distance between heaven and earth. Honestly, it is that far! Hence, when people argue on what use their formal certificates are if they can’t get a job with them in their own country; I listen along with a heavy heart, worried about the imminent consequence of this quagmire. This may be a title for another piece.

However, are formal certificates still guaranteed meal tickets? I will answer Yes without batting an eyelid. Are formal certificates a deceptive illusion? I will not answer No.

Firstly, jobs are still available even though they are only a few vacancies that will never go round. Hence, to the graduates or applicants who eventually get employed, the certificates have paid off. There are several ‘fortunate’ graduates whose stories support this claim. Recall that without the certificate, you do not qualify to contest in the first place. However, it is also not incorrect to say they are a deceptive illusion. This is evident in the thousands of graduates that are roaming the streets or under-employed and waiting for their miracle day, if it will ever come. This is then a two way bridge, one is wider, while the other; slender like the biblical road that leads to heaven.

What is the way to go?

Whether or not the job comes, education shouldn’t be replaced with anything. Going to school should be non-negotiable especially if you have the capacity to. Going by the current reality of this generation, disabuse your mind from considering formal certificates as the only guaranteed meal ticket. Having established that, re-adjust your mindset to be open to all options. After graduation, if the job comes; lucky you. If it doesn’t, re-strategize. There are several other options you can consider. Learn a skill; go into business (if you can), deliberately develop your gifts and passion. The education you have acquired puts you in a better position to organize your life. Start something, grow it and move your life on.

de woman Na player. do u knw dat dey killed de dead formal APC governorship candidate?

Well, I always reserve my comment on issues i can't defend, therefore, I can't attest to what kill the late APC flag bearer.

let's us all bear in mind that it's only the supreme being (God) that can judge. hence my earlier assertion that Everybody shall be rewarded according to his or her deed, if not here on earth, then certainly in heaven. [i][/i]

In this piece, Philip Agbese refutes claims
that the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari brokered a deal
with the election tribunal over the petition filed in by a
member of the House of Representative, James Faleke
against All Progressives Congress nomination of Yahaya
Bello as gubernatorial replacement for late Abubakar Audu.


It is not the best of times to be from Kogi state. Kogi, like
dozens of other states in Nigeria are in the throes of an
economic meltdown that has shown no signs of abating.
Coupled with successive years of misrule by previous
administrations, the current governor, Mr Yahaya Bello, like
many of his colleagues has not been able to pay salaries
so the hunger in that state is understandable.

This has not been helped in anyway by the fact that the
unexpected development that threw up Bello as the
incumbent governor also caused massive dislocation in the
“settlement system” that had ensured government
handouts trickle down through cronies to street urchins,
and arrangement that had ensured hangers on are well fed
in a state that is only now trying to have the semblance of
an economy. Yahaya Bello’s emergence was hotly
contested before the Kogi state Election Petition Tribunal
upheld his election.

The desperation of those who lost out under the current
configuration in the state is therefore understandable in
view of the biting economic reality, not just in that state
or in Nigeria but also worldwide. One can stretch one’s
tolerance to understand that hallucination is a possibility
with intense hunger but in this case seeing and hearing
things that are not there should be limited to images of
food and phantom aromas. The hallucination should not
extend beyond things that pertain to the state lest it be
interpreted as madness.

Claims by some groups, obviously sponsored, that the wife
of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari brokered a deal worth
the whole of N1.5 billion in bribes to the judges on the
Kogi state Election Petition Tribunal to give a favourable
ruling has therefore gone beyond the realm of hallucination
to become something else. Those behind the allegations
and their mouth pieces that delivered the message must
have succumbed to hunger on an unprecedented scale to
conjure up images of what never was and can never be.
They even claimed that the supposed bribe paid to the
judges was the cause of the salaries being owed workers
from the time of the immediate past administration.
Mrs Aisha Buhari happens not to be an indigene of Kogi
state. To the best of my knowledge, she has stayed out of
the politics of that state and I even commended her for
maintaining neutrality at the height of the intense politics
that produced the incumbent governor.

This gives me a sense that those who floated that story
have more than the politics of Kogi state at heart and her
possibly bitter to the point of attempting to torpedo her
blissful marriage to our number one citizen. What they
stand to gain from that is yet to be seen.
Secondly, the story of the N1.5 billion equally aimed for
the judiciary, which could offer a clue that there is a
calculated attempt to discredit this arm of government as
the war on graft picks pace. We have repeatedly seen how
suspects charged with corruption often delay their trial and
possible conviction by praying judges to recluse
themselves from cases on the strength of trumped up
accusations like this.

Holywizard!!

I rarely comment on this platform, but i wont be doing justice to my conscience if i fail to comment on this your topic.

Infact, your write-up has proven to me that PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY BEEN PAID to cover some people's ass using every available media platform.

I will not talk further, but I can bet you that I AM VERY FAMILIAR with Kogi politics and we all know the role Mrs. Buhari played to ensure the emergence of Yahaya Bello, and the games she is still playing up till this moment am pressing the key board.

Everybody shall be rewarded according to his or her deed, if not here on earth, then certainly in heaven.

The Op is a very terrible evil woman who has hurt the poor innocent man so much that he has decided to keep his respectful distance. How did I know this? ANY woman who confesses openly in a public forum that she will murder her husband under any guise, is an extremely evil and dangerous woman. She never loved the man! Quote me anywhere. The husband should as a matter of urgency divorce this evil beast he calls a wife! So, rather than plan how to check into a rehabilitation center for the violently insane, you are here talking of taking anothers life. Those innocent kids should be handed over to their father as they are not safe around their murderer of an evil mother.

THANK YOU

Use radiator fluid recommended by the manufacturer for ur car and enjoy peace of mind. Thanks

Please, can you drop your phone number in my mail - mohdonuh@yahoo.com - I need to speak with you off nairaland. Tnx

I am in a similar situation here, mine is water get dry completely from the radiator after 15-20km drive.
Believe me I have spent a lot on this issue from one auto-shop to another here in Abuja. they have replaced the radiator with the so-called double cell, viscous fan etc. all to no avail.
I have no other option now but to park the car.
I WILL APPRECIATE IF ANY ONE CAN HELP PROFER THE SOLUTION. GOD BLESS YOU

Mine was Mercedes 190E at 25yrs. 5yrs later I bought Nisaan Infinti SUV.

Lot's of fun to start driving your personal car at that age!

Get a Quantity Surveyor to help you out. Mind you, taste and location are major determinants.
Best luck!!
