LACK OF CERTIFICATE EPIDEMIC

-

We play politics with every issue in Nigeria until it affects us directly.

What Buhari went through in regards to his certificate is what pensioners and employees are going through with endless verification exercises.

Some employees are being terminated because of falling to provide an original certificate instead of a copy of the statement the received at graduation.

Do not be surprised if some pensioners are being denied their benefits because they failed to produce an original certificate from their schools despite that having nothing to do with their retirement.

God help any elder who loses his records in a fire or to rats, rains or termites, not only will their ministry not have their employment records, they would be lucky if their useless school or ministry would be able to recreate anything from records except through use of an affidavit claiming their employer has them.

Satan may even come into the equation where a University may even ask a graduate to go and produce not only the copies of his yearly grades, but his original WAEC certificate and his Secondary School his Primary school certificate to prove he was duly admitted into the school to be demanding his certificate,

Read the comments of many, who can afford nonsense or the exorbitant cost of transport to journey to an old institution and go through the pains and costs of collection.

Why where these certificates not issued at graduation or convocation. Is there any Nigerian that has not experience the frustration of collecting transcripts.

Many Nigerians use statement of results and affidavits than people believe.

I get angry every time I see this and I swear i have cringed every time I see this picture and I apologize for assaulting our sensibilities and I will delete tonite because I am still cringing and you cannot unsee what you have seen, but a friend brought it to my attention. 1) the photographer needs to be shot for allowing that boy drink that water like that, that is a crime in itself 2) this is insipid stupidity and a default from laziness or any sense of wisdom or just plain ignorance, so hard to understand since this is a rural setting where there should be more native sense. Any fool knows that if this is they only water source, you must restrain yourself and boil the water thoroughly, seeve it and let it settle for hours before scooping the water off the top to drink, the same applies even if you got the water from a clean “ulee” (igbo for a native water well) second to that there are tablets you can put in water to remove bacteria but that is me talking from America 3) let no dre

No End to Nigeria’s Poverty Ranking in Sight

By Terhemba Osuji As I get older I cannot subscribe to the common rabid manic assumptions of critics. Watching channels and personalizing how I would solve Nigeria’s problems, I tried to Picture all they villagers i know and thought about what I would do as Governor and President to lift them out of multi-dimensional poverty without blindly sharing money.  Then my mind wandered to how I would finance these plans plans, how long would it take, and how do you measure it to declare success or boast about lifting people out of poverty. The more I thought about it from studying how to tackle poverty they more I realize that Nigeria does not even have a rudimentary system of disseminating benefits, nor does it really have the data or infrastructure to even begin to tackle it. Armchair critics have all the answers but in all honesty the challenges of tackling poverty are just too great, in fact I am not sure that any government in Nigeria can even begin to tackle poverty in the near term.
