Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, on Thursday in Ibadan, charged Nigerian youths never to rely on their academic certificate alone to survive.

Osinbajo, who spoke at the 10th convocation ceremony of the Lead City University, Ibadan where 590 students were awarded first degree certificates.

The vice president who was the special guest at the ceremony, said, “I was 60 years old in March this year, and I must confess that one of the greatest surprises I ever experienced was that I just suddenly became 60. I can clearly remember when I graduated from the university. I was 21 years old at the time. How time flies.

“One of the important lessons that you will learn is that time flies whether you are wasting it or you are using it well. It simply flies back. At the age of 60 years, I am entitled to give some advice.

“By talent, a good degree and coming from a very well to do family does not bring success and certainly it does not bring greatness. The most talented people, those who get the best degrees do not necessarily become the most successful in life.

“The difference between success and failure, mediocrity or excellence is character. Along with character is opportunity, perhaps the most crucial is the place of God.”

ok. Any other trash you want to spew?

I get what he is saying, afterall his boss Buhari did not rely on his certificate at all.
He doesn't have one.

ketad mr man

But you osibanjo relied on certificate!

He is right. His boss didn't rely on certificate to get to where he is.

Don't rely on certificate; don't rely on skills cos many youths are roaming the streets with one skill or the other without really getting an opportunity to maximise it. Don't rely on government cos that's where ur greatest disappointment will grow from. So in osinbajo's voice who or where should we rely on?
Papa God na u be our strong tower ooooo

We know that

Sure

Shebi Una dey chop d money, the country is in bad shape. God catch u for me

Every Nigerian youth ought to understand this for sure, they dont need no VP to tell them..

After secondary school, you gain a skill and go back to higher institution to study a related course.

we know that Prof
..
That is the only good thing I learnt from ur Boss, Bubu.

Such a misguided advice from someone confused as an intellectual.

It is so foolish for a professor to advice this to a generation of confused youths who are in dire need of a flimsy reason not to go to school.

What should a youth depend on then if not his certificates?

With such advice from him more folks will quit school for Nairabet and Yahoo-yahoo.
Osinbanjo makes most of us doubt if he is truly a Professor and worse even; a pastor.

It's finished

This is what it means when Jesus said it is finish. It is finish indeed. Educational Certificate dead and buried by APC Osibanjo and Buhari Jubrin government. No plan for the youth. No plan for employment for the NYSC. Haha haha. Enjoy your change while it last

Nothing good comes out of a yolupa leadership.

Not surprise midget.

ok

True in this day and age you need more than just certificate

Who e epp

This government has failed nigerians !

its obvious dat this govt do not have any idea in tackling unemployment

Vise try ooo, that was a nice piece there, cert will only put u somewhere, good character retain you there, and adding God... make it blissful.
