Nigeria's challenges can be overwhelming, stifling ambitions and dreams. It's as if the system stacks the deck against you from the start.

Being born here already puts you at a disadvantage, and adding poverty and unemployment to the mix makes it even harder.

I understand why some feel pursuing further education, like a master's degree, is futile in this environment.

Frustrated lecturers and difficult academic conditions can be discouraging. It's disheartening to see potential crushed by negativity and poor treatment.

Niraland family Please I really need your help on this matter. So sorry my writeup may be long.

I graduated from University of Benin in December 2019. Due to lack of funds, I couldn't go for my clearance until about a year plus later.

The time I went, everything was going on well until I got to the student affairs department where it was discovered that my name was wrongly spelt.

The mistake was from my department and j was referred back to my department to get it corrected before I could go on with the clearance.

I went back to my department, met my HOD and explained everything to her. She asked me to write a letter and give to her secretary. I did and asked the secretary how long it could take and he said maybe 2 months.

Two months later, I went back to the school to check and the error was not corrected. I went back to my department and the HOD again said I should write a letter. I did and months again, nothing changed.

The cycle continued until I ran out of funds to keep going. Each trip cost me over 50k then. I sent my friends who were still in the school then to help me remind her. They did, even submitted another letters, still nothing changed.

Last year around July, I heard that the department had got a new HOD, I gathered some money to go and see the man and see if he can help me. When I got to his office, I explained everything to him and he said that I'm not serious. That he has been HOD for some months and no such complain has ever come to his table. I then told him that I have sent letters countless times to the former HOD, though I haven't sent any letter nor came to the department since he assumed office due to financial constraints.

I told him that I asked my friend who reside In Benin to help me get his number so I could reach out to him. Then he flared up, insulting me and my generation. That I have no professor in my linage and why should I be asking for his number. He said we are not mates and all. After the whole insults. He still asked me to write a letter and submit with his secretary, with a copy of my "school screening certificate" and "eligibility slip" to verify my real name. I did, and it's almost a year now. Yesterday I called the clearance officer at the student affairs department and she said "Iyede they never do am"
And don't know what else to do, it's over 5 years now since I graduated. And the fault is not from me. All my documents has my correct name, even the screening certificate and eligibility school issued by the school all has my correct name. My online student's kofa page, has my correct name. So the error is from them.

And in a country like this, after 5 years, no any work experience, no certificate to even apply for any job.
I wish to take them on legally but can I get justice without connection?
NL big fam please if there's any lawyer here that can help or you have a connection to who can, please do.

Nigeria and its leaders (not just the government... I mean civil servants, heads of departments, etc) ARE DREAM KILLERS!

I know what I went through to do my clearance. Imagine a simple letter taking 5 years to sort out. Lazy, archaic, wicked, and evil people. If na HOD pikin, or big man pikin, story for don change. This is just sad!

I know this is just a side of the story. But as someone that has been frustrated before because of clearance, it's juszt crazy.

Why can't we love and respect each other...be at our best when dealing with others irrespective of one's position or influence?

I remember when I was an undergrad student. My Physics 102 result was MISSING. As in, how? Course wey I write pass well? Missing, how? I got to know this during my clearance.

Imagine clearance officer telling me to WAVE IT...that it won't affect my grade as I was already comfortably on a 2-1. Course I suffer write pass... no empathy...so that you'll quickly be done and go home.

I refused, of course. Went to the physics HOD,, an elderly man, a father figure...but in reality, an emotionless man. He easily discarded me, not even giving me listening ears. Went with one of my lecturers again, he threw us out...

And me no fit bribe anybody. Not possible.

It was God that gave his secretary wisdom, we maneuvred, she helped me retrieve the result from the department's archive, I made a copy and went on to submit at my department.

The big question is, why must university clearance be done physically? Why can't it be done online? Why can't I clear out online and go my way? Why must I move from one tabletl to the other...begging and being abused.. One so-called bursary officer would go to work very late and close before 3pm. If you sack him now, him go say na devil.

I once wrote that calling for national prayers will not change anything. It's better we do our best individually in whatever capacity we find ourselves... and pray for the country individually too. The national prayer people are calling for, no be all these wicked people go gather dey pray? Child of God on Sunday, wicked entity on Monday.

Funny bunch of people.

Hopefully your story checks out. If so, raise enough dust online. If you have any evidence... especially the letters you wrote over these years, put it out too. Wish you find justice.

We all must stop looking at Aso Rock as the only problem of our country. True, Aso Rock and its occupants are a major problem, but our individual wahalas dey contribute significantly to the state of the nation too.

So, for this country to get better, each and every one of us must seriously decide to do better. Go to work early, stop all corrupt practices, don't litter, stop exam malpractices, stop signing 7:30am when you go to work by 10am. If employed, be efficient. Function in the exact capacity you were employed. Stop playing God because you no reach. Be kind to everyone you cross path with. Just be HUMAN! This is not even about being religious. Just be human!

See how these things are very common? Not the big, big CRIMES you think have put us where we are. These little things, if achieved, will go a long way!
Deep words. The rulers are the reflection of the followers. Our leaders didn't fall from the sky. Nigeria is a conglomerate of wicked souls.

Is ur Jamb Admission letter correct? If not this ur case will require you to visit jamb office. This ur story really frustrating, my own case is similar to u.
I will advise u to meet up a close lecturer to ur HOD u know in ur department make he follow the man reason. If the case is from ur department is very easy to sort out but some lecturers are very wicked. Also try dress neat when u enter this people office with enough confidence.

I think you should contact Mrs usibaifo and explain everything to her though she was my course advisor then but I don't know if she's still the one she may help you to quicken it.

Computer science is the worst department in uniben. I saw hell in that department but I later won and stopped seeing the structure.

Keep on going there, when they continue seeing your face they must be forced to do something. Thank God that I didn't travel home immediately after my final year result came out I wouldn't be serving by now or I might have forfeited everything about my certificate. I became very stubborn until my result was released by them

Re: Help . Uniben Has Refused To Clear Me Since I Graduated In 2019. by Gabriel459(m): 10:12pm On Jul 22, 2025
Follow up with the HOD secretary to know if she actually acted on the letters you wrote, if she has worked on those letters and school didn’t effect it then probably the sch ICT department is at fault. Try to know the main people in charge of your situation and settle them with small money. They will effect it asap

The letters you wrote during the five years, do you have copies of them?

If yes, write another letter in details and attached those copies to it.

Try to see who among the lecturers in the dept that can help you, meet the person with the letters. Go to the Dean if you HOD is not approachable.

If you have no helper, Send copies of the letter to the department and put "CC " of the VC. Meaning you're sending same letter to the Vc. (That is a threat to them)

send another copy of the letters directly to the VC. they may not want to collect from you, they may ask you to route it through your department (valley of death) cheesy
Try to lobby your way there and make sure the VC office receive your letter.

Solution will pop out. Though, you have wasted much time.

Or try the social media way, if your mind can endure the publicity attached to it. cool
