- In a video post, he lamented that despite the popular “just get a degree” advice, many university courses in Nigeria no longer guarantee employment.
- He noted that only fields like accounting, finance, medicine, law, and tech still seem to offer hope, while disciplines like political science, public administration, chemistry, and history rarely feature in job openings.
A young Nigerian man has taken to social media to vent his frustration one year after graduating from Babcock University.
According to him, he spent over ₦10 million on a degree that hasn’t landed him a job paying even ₦100,000 a month.
In a video post, he lamented that despite the popular “just get a degree” advice, many university courses in Nigeria no longer guarantee employment. He noted that only fields like accounting, finance, medicine, law, and tech still seem to offer hope, while disciplines like political science, public administration, chemistry, and history rarely feature in job openings.
He said he paid about ₦2.7 million per session over four years, not including summer class fees, yet his certificate is now “somewhere in his mother’s house” and has brought him no real return.
The young man added that if not for a church member who advised him to pursue a second degree in a more marketable course, he might have taken a wrong turn in life—joking that people shouldn’t be surprised if his face ever ends up on EFCC’s page.
