Nigerian University Graduate Burns NYSC, Degree Certificates Over Horrible 9-5 Job Offer

A Nigerian graduate has sparked intense conversation online after burning his university degree and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate out of frustration with the country’s job market and struggles.

In a video circulating on social media, the unidentified young man narrated how he spent seven years in the university, only to graduate with a second class lower, scoring a 3.4 GPA—just shy of the 3.5 required for a second class upper.- Full Video


According to him, the disappointment of narrowly missing a higher classification left him feeling perpetually unlucky. He had always dreamed of becoming a singer, but when the music path didn’t yield results, he turned to the corporate world in hopes of finding stability.

However, his breaking point came during a recent job interview where he was offered a salary of ₦95,000. He lamented that ₦60,000 of it would be spent on transportation alone each month, leaving him with little to survive on.

In a fit of anger and despair, he set fire to his academic and NYSC certificates, declaring his frustration with the state of the country and his circumstances.

He is short sighted. Even first class graduates, those with master and doctorate degrees are under employed too. He shouldn't have burnt his certificates because govts jobs can come at anytime and it doesn't really matter the kind of division (first class or pass) you have on your certificate.

According to you, right.
Go and tell people who are receiving 700k, 500k, 900k monthly and taking care of their life with it. Some of them still get additional money once in while and they're not even employed by revenues generating agencies.
Few private organisations are better than govt in terms of salary.
And his decision to burn his certificates is more worthless
