#BoycottUselessNigerianEducation

Tunagee:


Thank u

You are welcome

HigherEd:
Actually the first person to get a Job from my class after we graduated from school was the only third class graduate amongst us. The second guy who barely got a 2.2 now works in his father's company. Many of the 2.1s are still at home. I'm not trying to encourage mediocrity but the Nigerian labour market is more complex that y'all think.

you are right.It a matter of connection.I don't have a good grade but working with gov't. But I have done the needful now and l am coming out with 2.1

dabiriy:
Nice Topic to follows. Your grade doesn't give you edge over other some people are acedemically sound , but how Intellect are they? Remember those firm don't need u to sound acedemically alone. But ur intellect also contribute lot .

Like u rightly said. Those firms need ur intellect. I remember sometime in 2008/2009 I was working for MTN. There was this guy with ordinary ND certificate, but he had some great reporting skills which the management saw as useful t the business At a point, this guy became very relevant in his reporting and analysis skill that the business needed him more than even the so called with good university grades. Even while some people were being sacked, this guy could not be sacked because of his very rare skill that was helping the executivea take decisions. He resigned by himself later, and while resigning, the company still begged him to help pass the knowledge. U dey here dey talk nonsense say 2.2 no be certificate. Bullshit!this is the most stupid post I ve read in the last few months. Very unrealistic.

devigblegble:
Abeg Buhari graduate with 2.2 ? But he is the president of federal republic of Nigeria

Ruling millions of people


To hell with certificate

AishaBuhari:
My certificate is just to proof to my kids that I went to school. Can't enslave myself under any stupid firm all in the name of meager pay

Gbam

Op your fada.. Person wey no see school wall at all dey make millions for Onitsha, Kano market everyday.. Money wey graduate go see in a month dem make am single day.

Alaye abeg double your hussle and leave certificate alone.

Your brain is your cert. Use it well

careytommy7:
Graduate with your 2:1 na
Jobs yanfu-yanfu for that level, iwatago

easier said.

Abeg forget that thing. Na connection sure pass. I finished with 2.1 but couldn't get any decent job! The one I got was under paying me. Like seriously, I went to uni and worked hard to graduate with 2.1 to be earning 35k?

While ladies in my class with the right connections, some of them I taught them in school then. They are well employed and paid because they have the right connection.

Millions of 2.1 graduates are jobless now and millions are under paid. Know the right persons and u would get a good job in Nigeria.

The very few who got good jobs out of merit are simply in the 'a few category'

Their grace is really high. I even had to learn more ICT skills, got certification, yet no betr job! Had to to resolt to freelancing.

The main thing is not even wat u graduated wit, Wat oyibo need from u is ur experience & wat u can do. Certificate is just a plus.

oh

3html:
I graduated with 2.9 it was so painful though at then, i threw away the certificate (in my box) then face life squarely, working as an independent web designer, freelancer, and above all a die hard blogger hahahahahaha.

I can boast of a bungalow that cost over 9million
Above all i make 360k monthly

Any body that tells u your certification is 100% tied to your success I beg you disagree wqwith such a fellow

Bloggers tell too many lies. Many bloggers will not enter heaven...

Futurecrown:
My friend graduated with second class lower division (2.2) and he got employed at a multinational oil&gas firm, he did professional courses worth 850k in Lagos last year before he could secured the job last year without any connection, so brother try network yourself in all ramifications and never see yourself as a second fiddle.

bro please can u link me up with him

Uyi168:
One word-connection...if u knw where u come from,its advisable to finish well

if you like finish well, that one no mean sey you no fit become jobless after graduation... Na to just pray make God connect us to the right people...

See eh,
Good grades plus other skills and God's grave is the surest bet
All of you down playing grades are just very funny

Thank you very much.....

I graduated with 3.0[2:2 mech. Engr.]. It wasn't painful for me cos i always knew my Success wasn't tied to my Certificate.... I first started selling 2nd hand tyres...While @ it, i learnt web designing and python programming for the fun of it...BUT.... I'm into Haulage now and it's awesome[ventured into Hualage 3yrs ago].....I now have people working for me[....and i pay them monthly]...


[NB: i suspended web designing and programming like 3yrs ago......I still have my note with all my codes in tact cos i have this feeling that I'll start coding again in the future... For fun of course]....

all this one na story... Even Murphy Ijemba came out with 2:2... Baba still dey ball pas many of the so called first class la cram la por graduateS wey no sabi anything outside class room

Maybe he's lying....maybe not.... But his story is not that different from mine..... Though I don't own a house yet....

hmmmm

Lool.
Not to discredit the writer but here is my own 2cent.
Paper qualifications are NOTHING compared to the qualifications obtained in real life.
I was the most unserious in my class. I graduated with a 3rd but today, hmmmmmnn
God be praised
When I talk and my former class rep put mouth, I fit talk say make them slap am to stupor

Those who easily get jobs in Nigeria are the ones who know someone who equally know someone at the top. If you are not influential in Nigeria, forget it ! Even if you graduate with first class and you are not influential in Nigeria, you are on your own (OYO)

Exactly... I have a friend who dropped out of school[RSUST] and travelled to dubai almost 5yrs ago... He got a job with Mercedes[without any degree ooh].... He later enrolled in one of the universities there and graduated last year.... He still works there till date and just started building his house here.....

Certificate is an added advantage [and a must] especially here in Africa.... But in advanced countries, they don't care about your Certificate, they just want to know what you have to offer... Simple...

Don't you know that for many bloggers, lying is the tool of their trade? They post lies, on social media. They recycle fake news rapidly, without bothering to crosscheck its' veracity. They cut-and-paste gossip, falsehood and put an imaginary spin on events, in order to generate traffic. After they have made money from their lies, they still go back to the same social media to flaunt it, as if they are geniuses. And you still think they will enter heaven?

Thank God it's an opinion. Our Labour market is not doing too well because they over rely on what they see in Paper. Could you believe that some First Class holders are a shame to their certificate?. Most companies in Nigeria employs foreigners who are technicians in their countries. They do not even have the First Class we claim as a prerequisite for employment.
My opinion, I'll employ based on your output in a technical exam. 1st, 2nd,3rd, pass, COA(certificate of Attendance) holders are free to apply. When a specified quota might have applied, technical exam (based on their fields) is given. The best performer is my prospective employee... I DON'T BELIEVE IN CERTIFICATE ANY MORE

Lmao!!.... These bloggers must've really done something to you oooh

Onyenna:

No, they didn't do anything to me. Any blogger that peddles lies about me, will get arrested and sued for defamation. I no get time for rubbish. But I have witnessed the lives of others ruined by their fake news. So I have a deep-seated dislike for their unending lies and falsehood. As for all those who have made money from blogging lies, forged tales and fraudulent stories, may their money disappear like dewdrops on a sunny hot day....
