Monday, October 12, 2026 - A video of a Nigerian man tearing his academic certificates has caused a stir online.
In the widely shared clip, the man—who revealed he graduated
with a Second-Class Upper division in Psychology—ripped apart what appeared to
be the original copies of his BSc degree, NYSC discharge certificate, and WAEC
results.
Visibly frustrated, he lamented that his years of academic
labor had yielded no benefits, stating that his hard-earned qualifications had
failed to "favour" him in the real world.
The video has triggered a wave of mixed reactions. While
many social media users sympathized with his plight and pointed to the harsh
realities of graduate unemployment, others remained skeptical, questioning
whether the destroyed documents were truly the original copies or just colour
photocopies.
