History Graduate Reveals Why He Burnt His WAEC, University, NYSC Original Certificates

 A young man identified as Olutimain Ilenre, has given reasons why he burnt his original certificates.

Olutimain Ilenre, an History and International Studies graduate from Ajayi Crowther University (ACU) in Oyo State had done the weird thing by setting his certificates on fire.

He burnt his Bachelor of Arts, West African Examinations Council (WAEC), University Degree and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Certificates at once.

Ilenre in a video released on social media on Monday, took the drastic decision due to a lack of a job, adding that the current situation in the country has rendered his certificates useless.

“To get a certificate in this country is like a waste of time,” he lamented.

He lamented that even when travelling out of the country, the certificates are rendered useless.

Olutimain Ilenre noted that he had been unable to sleep in the last week after he recalled that all the jobs he had done for the past 13 years were jobs for which his certificates were not needed.

He therefore advised Nigerian youths to learn vocational skills due to the country’s present realities and urged parents to empower their children to learn handwork and trade.

“I finished school in 2010 and did my NYSC in 2010/2011; till today, I haven’t used these certificates to get a job,” Ilenre said.
