- Alvin burned all his Certificates From Primary school to university because of his inability to get a good job after 13 years of graduation
A disillusioned Nigerian graduate of Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo, known as Olutimein Elwin, has burnt all his academic certificates.
Alvin burned all of his certificates from elementary school to university after failing to find a good job after 13 years of graduation.
In a viral video on social media, Alvin said, “I graduated in 2010, I graduated from NYSC in 2011.
For over 13 years, I have not used these certificates to do anything.
It is better to be illiterate than to have useless degrees.
“What is the point of a certificate if I have to drag jobs with illiterates since I graduated,” he asked.
He added that the certificates also become unusable when traveling outside the country and has been unable to sleep for the past week after remembering that all the jobs he has held for the past 13 years are jobs that had rendered his certificates unusable.
He, however, advised parents to ensure that their children learn skills that can improve their productivity without relying on white-collar jobs.
