Good day, fellas. I noticed that, in Nigeria, most employers are more interested in ur Certificate and with less or no concern abt ur Sabificate. I once applied for a teaching job in a private school. During our discussion and interview, the proprietor made a remarkable statement. He said, We aren't interested in ur Certificate, we are only interested in ur Sabificate. I.e Ur ability or what u can do. He gave his reason(s) and instances for that. Now, to u, which of these two would u prefer as an employer? Sabificate or Certificate? Give ur reason(s).

No be lie sha. Most Nigerian employers are more interested in ur Certificate than ur Sabificate. If u have Sabificate without Certificate, they would want to use u and exploit u by deliberately paying u below they ought to pay u.

In some cases, you'll need the certificate to get to the level where you'll have the opportunity to learn and sabi. In other cases, all you need is the sabificate
It all depends on your skills and the industry you want to operate.

its awarded for test of knowledge.

It's true but it's not everyone who is awarded that can Sabicify their test of knowledge.

I didn't go get my certificate until after 10yeears of my graduation, why because I never needed it.
I am a software developer, the industry actually is interested in your portfolio and skills than your certificate self. I never had the opportunity to even go computer school self, so I am self taught.
Please don't get me wrong abeg, still get the certificate Ooo, it has its application where required and you should be prepared.

Walking into the colorful, large auditorium within the main campus of the University of Lagos, my mind fluttered with memories of the last matriculation gathering I attended about 4 years ago, which symbolized a new beginning for me. Well, that day was another beginning, for in the journey of life, there really is no final destination!

I was ushered to my seat where I relaxed, readjusted my oversized gown and warmly greeted a few graduating folks. A couple of minutes later, I sensed a ruckus behind me which I turned my neck towards. Like bees around a honeycomb, graduants surrounded one person and tons of selfies were shot in a continuous fashion.

I looked closer and identified this "honey comb" to be Odunlade Adekola, a famed Yoruba actor, in the Nollywood industry!

He was obviously a graduate too, like us all, but the collosal degree of attention he received, from virtually every soul in that block, didn't just amaze me but inspired this category of the #EMyth series! Let me strike the matchstick with the point below.

I've come to the conclusion that the glory of the academic world is the Certificate but the glory of the real world is the Sabificate! In addition, life in the academic world is just for a while but life in the real world is for a lifetime. To crown it all, the academic world is nothing without the real world!

Now, it doesn't really matter if Odunlade's certificate boldly reads a 3rd Class. He already has the key to the hearts of countless people all due to his Sabificate! Even the Vice Chancellor of UNILAG gladly took a selfie with him, right there on stage!

Now, you're most likely muttering to yourself in pidgin English, "wetin dis bobo deh yarn about Sabificate?" Permit me to clearly define these two concepts, the way I've come to understand them.

Your Certificate is the measure of your excellence in giving back what you were given in school. And it is represented by a feathery paper. Do greatly in giving back what you were given and it'll read a First Class! Do poorly in giving back and it'll read a 3rd Class or a !

Now, this system is inherently faulty for it reveals the original purpose of school, set centuries ago, which is now gone with the wind! A topic for another post in this series!

On the other hand, your Sabificate is the measure of your excellence in inducing comfort or happiness in people. And it is represented by the level of of the people you've influenced, from your parents, siblings, friends, fans, customers, colleagues to even your boss!

Now, all the and money, amid other resources, you'd love to enjoy always lie with the people. And hey! We are not robots but bundles of flesh, blood and a gamut of emotions! When you successfully make us feel good, we're literally yours and everybody wins!

This amazing, real-world journey begins with the lifelong development of your Sabificate!

To conclude, let me spill the beans. Your Sabificate is simply your ability to sell. And surprisingly, talking or telling is not selling. Even the well-known process of exchanging commodity for money is not selling! This topic, in and of itself, is vast so I'll reserve it for the closing parts of this series.

For now, my focus will be on the very foundation of our Sabificate, without which we will always misunderstand or misuse the art of selling.

This foundation is your Emotional Intelligence, which, interestingly, you were born with. However, like millions of others, you probably lost it on your way to adulthood due to the rigid influence of parents and the society at large.

In as much as I'd love to share the rest of my published thoughts here, time wouldn't permit.

Are you on Facebook? Some posts of the #EMythSeries have already been laid bare Over there, I shared -

*The powerful but largely neglected role, mothers play in the development of Emotional Intelligence in infants. Within this phenomenon, lies insight to rebuild it in adulthood.

*The basic components of Emotional Intelligence and exactly why it's the ONLY key to not just personal happiness but to win the hearts and minds of people.

*The seemingly harmless but inherently destructive tactic that parents have been using on their children, transgenerationally. A tactic that ruins Emotional Intelligence; the key to our Sabificate!

*Why "foolishness" is a quality, everyone ought to cultivate in adulthood. That quality is ultimately the key to our survival and happiness on Earth.

*Why societal corruption is one of the most misunderstood concepts in human history. It's really more than what you may think it is!

*Why talking or telling is not selling. In fact, the more you do it, the more you lose the or patronage of people.

*And MORE....

All About Me & The Value I Have For You

Oluwole certificate can only produce useless outcomes, ask a certain former governor of a state that his filled his place with urchins.

Below is what Oluwole certificate in ing gave a state.

All I know is that , who you know what you know in Nigeria

Your knowledge in Nigeria without certificates is somehow useless, people don't really want to know what you can do without the prove on paper

May God help us all o... This Nigeria no even understand body again...

Before na people dey face problems.. but These days na problem dey face people...

It is well

Ok

Sometimes certificate without sabificate is useless


Sometimes, sabificate without certificate is useless.

The world is never balanced

One of the many differences between developed climes and a third-world country is this -

DC’s : what can you do (abilities and capabilities)

3rdWC’s : who do you know? What does that paper say about you?

Verily verily I tell that though civilization began in Africa, she is miles away from civilization.

What an irony of life !

TO BE HONEST
Tinubu = SABIFICATE
The rest na CERTIFICATE

Sounded like anambra accent of certificate

Truth be told.... What do they teach in schools? You realize when you get to the labour market that, except for some professional fields of study, the certificate is just for prestige. What you need to do the job is experience.
I had BSc Geography, and I've been in the banking industry for like 15 years. Oya, where my certificate come for here?

Why not have both of them?

T

Attention! Attention!! Attention!!!

TINUBU is searching for his missing certificate , pls if u see any paper or certificate in the gutter or anywhere in ur street , pls rush to the nearest police station


Handsome reward and Agbado awaits u

I dey come make I cook beans first

Certificate in Nigeria is just a piece of paper that grants you access to prove your Sabification

Sabificate ooo, But Use Your Head Make Them No Over Use You

Sabi - ficate is coined from pidgin. You get the point now?

Certificates are available everywhere now. What matters most is the projects you've done in the past and your enthusiasm to help your employees and clients solve their new problem.
