hi my fellow nairalander,i am currently in college of education now but have a goal of serving(NYSC) after my degree,by then i will be almost 30 in which is the maximum age for service,and i will not be eligible to go because of age.
so now i am planning to change my age, write another olevel exam,get another birth certificate and probably another jamb.
the question now is that will it not affect the certificate i will be given in college of education in case i want to combine the both I.e N.C.E and B.S.C in the near future to work?

muller101:
Op go ahead no problem. But post ur name , and ur real date of birth let's see. Add ur state as well. This thread should have been in the crime section

Evaberry:
....

You really need to change your age but not because of Nysc but because most employers don't like to employ individuals 30 and above with zero work experience some don't even employ 28 and above.

Except you plan to be an entrepreneur/business man change that age.

yvesboss:
Lol...that is if NYSC still exists by the time you graduate..

lyricalz:
instead change your date of birth when registering for jamb, nysc uses jamb database to mobilize corp members and not waec, you can use age declaration to support your waec.
for people blaming you, its not your fault, the system has failed already, 95% of employers want employees of not less than 25yrs with at least 3years of experience, the hustle is real o, man must survive.
since eke the bird has learned to fly without perching, the hunter has also learned how to shoot without missing, abi how them talk am?

buygala:
If you really need to have a new age, then be ready to start from scratch.

It's in your best interest that all your certificates have uniform date of birth and other details...

How will you explain to a prospective employer that you acquired your NCE before you acquired your WASSC... or how your college of education details show you were born in 1989 while your later certificates show you were born in 1995.

As per the guy who is advising the OP to get a discharge certificate... OP, please don't mind him.. he doesn't fully understand what you are talking about... I guess he just commented based on the first paragraph of your comment

Akainzo:
Question is, why do you want to start life based on lies? It won't end well and there would be too many lies required to cover for this age ones.

Remember, one never knows tomorrow, and what it entails. Your classmates aren't all gonna change ages too and your Captain / Prefect would remember your age.

Don't be another Dino!

Jman06:
Truth is that what the op is about to do is what many of the posters here are guilty of, and look at them sounding so sanctimonious. Show me any of you who uses their real age in their WAEC.

Op, since you're studying a professional course {i.e education}, i'll advise you to continue with your real age, get an exemption letter and forget NYSC. What's more important is you getting a job and being a professional{teacher}, age should not really be a barrier in getting a job. Unless you plan to depart from education and do a B.Sc instead of B.Ed, and then start applying to such organizations as banks for Graduate trainee jobs. That's only when you should worry about age.

Topmaike007:
thanks GOD BLESS,what happen is that i want to do pure bsc in computer science that is why.

TourismMan:
Lol. What will happen to NYSC? Scrapping?

AlwaysUltraPad:
you can still go to service at the age of 30.

Do you have to write another WAEC? What do you have in your school file, birth certificate by a hospital or NPC, declaration of age ? If it's a birth certificate, replace it with a declaration of age carrying your desired age. If it's declaration of age that's there, replace it with a new one.
Those in charge of files in your school should help you do this.
Are you using your original WAEC certificate? It carries your real age when you took your WAEC with your actual age, avoid it and use your statement of results; presenting original WAEC certificate will expose your falsified age. The system is discriminating against those with discharge certificate.

This is corruption, you should know it's wrong.
