The graduate of Ajayi Crowther University said he left school 13 years ago in 2010 and all the jobs he has gotten need no certificate.

He explained that he jostles for jobs with non-graduates and in fact, asked a primary friend who is not a graduate to help him to a job

Olutimain burnt his university certificate, primary school certificate, NYSC certificate, JAMB results etc.

He urged Nigerian youths to learn other skills aside from going to university to get degrees.

In an Instagram post, Momodu wrote: This made me cry… SAD.

That is just a certified paper. The original certificate is in us as a person, your ability to use your senses well is your certificate.
