That's because this lecturer sells certificates without the accompanying learning that empowers students to use their brains and minds.

Moral of the story is, ensure you buy learning, and not just the certificate.
That's not true. The reason is that Nigerian university system is too cheap to bequeath students with the skills they need to succeed. The biggest casualties are STEM graduates. If Nigeria wants to improve her education system, the government must be willing to spend a lot of money on the system.

The world is tilting but universities in Nigeria don't understand that.

In UK or us, you are allowed to work and study.

Na serious play Nigeria 🇳🇬 universities dey play. Even some law makers in other climes are questioning the benefit of the regular 4 walled education system.

I'm happy NUC is waking up and approving fully fledged online universities like Miva and Co. So happy it's happening in my life time.

I have been an advocate of this immediately I finished school and saw the dangers inherent (morally and otherwise) and the unnecessary waste.

I agree with you on too cheap to bequeath the necessary skills to students. Totally agree 💯

You miss the point

The qualified labourers are more than the available jobs. In the 60s, companies n FG visited universities to employ intending graduates. Some got employment even before they graduate

Then, it used to be a matter of choice, even graduates with 3rd class.

Of course they should close down all the universities in the country. If that will solve the backwardness and the poverty in the country..
So that everybody can learn a skill or start up a business

This work experience you get would make you ready even before being a graduate. You would even discover a lot of things and how the world truly works.

In Nigeria, study and not allowed to work because of ancient curriculum that has not invented anything meaningful except copying.

Tell me what happens when a student studies alone and comes out like a newbies to the world system.

In UK or US you already understand that if you don't work you won't chop. What stops a student from helping houses dispose refuse on weekends. In Nigeria lecturers will set class on weekend.

Make u na dey play.

Person say make we dey learn witchcraft when other countries dey try understand the whole galaxy and conquer it.
Hahahaha 🤣🤣😂😂😂

Don't make me laff

Make a portfolio for your STEM degree. Not just carring certificate up and down.

Very funny comment but facts. I didn't understand all these till I completed my masters online via distant learning in a school in the USA. I then discovered what I could I achieve if the African educational system allowed for flexibility during my bachelor's degree.

I am thinking the same way, what audacity does he have to condemn what him food on his table. If not for his certificate, would he be infront of those kids yarning dust. In as much as skill acquisition is important, one must not condemn acquiring or looking down on certificate....

He his not a lecturer but a motivational speaker trying to sell his book for new student.

They always do that at the beginning of new session.

Again, this man is not a lecturer
Re: Lecturer: Certificates Will Make You A Miserable Job Seeker After Graduation by Exceed15: 8:55am On Jan 16, 2024
He has no business then being in classroom lecturing what they don't need. Certificate is good but not enough.

Parents should be held responsible for failing to guide their children to the reality of our country.

I will never send my children to school without encouraging to learn high demanding skills.

So those PhD holders bought certificate?? You seem to be very shallow... They are many first class graduates that are yet to land a meaningful job most times due to the course they studied in a non favorable naija market labour and lack of connect. Very seasoned graduates who don't have access to funds to start a business all bought certificate according to you. Slow ass mf

How did he condemn certificate? He was telling them the gospel truth. How many graduates do you have a year and how many jobs are available. Our professor told us the same, do we say he condemned it too or we all will be professors like him to earn a living? U sound slow asf

If this country normal,how person go even do first degree finish come dey think of doing fashion designer,barbing,selling food provision etc
Not to talk of PhD
Year in year out universities are turning out graduates
Omo eni to mo way
Lomo we
Change this mentality... If everyone now go to school, and nobody is a fashion designer, who will sew the clothes you will wear? We are supposed to go to school to acquire skills and knowledge for barbing, buying and selling, fashion designing etc and not to go and read irrelevant books and graduate with a useless certificate. Those Fendi and varsace you crave for were designed by graduates and talented individuals. Britain just came here and messed with our brains and intelligence.

There are nuisance like you who doesn't engage in a dialogue on a simple context. You lots always show how low u are been trained... I don't need to trade words with you, I aired my opinion so does you. Did I quote you? So why the fuss?.
Re: Lecturer: Certificates Will Make You A Miserable Job Seeker After Graduation by Faposky95: 9:21am On Jan 16, 2024
the mentality is built from early when parents with all that resource develop only their children - give them the world, look down on the neighbours kids, run community without purpose.....
what do you think is bred....?
mediocrity.
what about we all have certificates...?are we the British....?
if i speak English, my Oga go dey vex......the reason why dem dey sack me ohhhhh!!!!

the war to find and redefine our destiny as blacks in Africa is a task that must be done.
when you buy corn, no be the seed yu dey chop.....?
As long as the so many certificate holders pour into this miasma of our present country......
Na one chance be that........
...That daughter yu swell her head calling her princess....go check who dey shift her shaft....?
Re: Lecturer: Certificates Will Make You A Miserable Job Seeker After Graduation by Rejouir: 9:25am On Jan 16, 2024
Nigerian educational system is so poor, Most students now sort courses, some don't even learn anything they just cram only when it's time to write exams. Exactly why most youths are into fraud, after school, because even the basic skills to get employed most don't have it. Luckily for the sharp ones, they struggle to learn fast, and become good, while working.
