A frustrated Nigerian graduate of Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo, simply identified as Olutimain Alvin has set all his academic certificates ablaze.
Alvin set his primary, secondary and tertiary institution certificates ablaze on Sunday, following his inability to secure a job after 13 years of graduation.
In a now trending video on the internet, Alvin said: “I graduated in 2010 and finished my NYSC in 2011.
“For over 13 years, I have not used these certificates to do anything. It is better to even be an illiterate than to have certificates that are useless.
“What is the essence of a certificate when I have to drag jobs with illiterates ever since I graduated”, he asked.
He, however, advised parents to get their children involved in skills that can enhance their productivity without relying on a white-collar job.
