Hi guys good day, trust you are all good? Please just something that is bothering me, I am 30 yrs old but I have not gone to any tertiary institution but I have the desire to enroll as soon as forms are out.

But the issue now is I don't know wether I can serve after I graduate since I will be more than 30 upon graduation, I read somewhere that I will be likely be issued an exemption certificate.

My question now's is if I was given an exemption certificate I want to know how strong the exemption certificate is when compared to the discharge certificate, in the job market how do they look the exemption certificate?

Thank you

Baba go school ohh,high-end jobs just need a certificate from Nysc that's all.But the major difference is the experience you get in Nysc can be added on your c.v while most organizations consider that too

What percentage of those who "go school" is gainfully employed. Op, instead of you to waste your money and time getting a degree from a Nigerian University, go and learn a high-in-demand tech skill. Or, even use d money play 2 odds.

lol 2odds,oya now

None whatsoever.... Infact if you have the right skills, people will hire you without NYSC certificate.... But it's good to have it Sha, it's jst one year and it's really fun... If u want to enjoy iy6, pick peaceful states like ekiti or ondo

All

Ok

Nothing Concern Mr Blogger

Baba I can't just say education is a scam but learning skill I mean tech skill is mostly lucrative and there are good opportunities to be more successful..

So non have advantages over the other

Nothing at all

God bless u my brother

Both same, exemption is for above 30yrs graduates, while discharge will be given to those that graduated at less than 30yrs and proceed to serve.
Any job that requires an NYSC cert, you are allowed to present either of the two

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂....Omg! You are a bad guy, very very bad guy ...he should come and play 2 odds? Na wao......


Anyway, both are the same. Exemption and the certificate. In case you decided to look for work with the exemption, there's a general believe that you probably was working and did part time schooling or combining school and work together.....

thank God for your meagre salary job. I am a labourer who gets paid 3k daily.

Ask those who are telling you school is scam if they'll send their children to school or not.

You'll get your answer from there

The difference is not clear...

lol this guy no normal ... you come use the 2 odds spoil everything

Ha 😲 my brother have told my son because ibwont allow him to make such mistake .


Alot of skill first before university or whatever .

I mean tech skill and I will try to him to any means

Missing out on the nysc experience is the only difference

Not at all.... employers would require any of the certificate.....
DISCHARGE,
EXEMPTION OR
EXCLUSION.

Wait. At 30+ fresh graduate without work experience. You still dey talk of job market. Which job market?. The same market wey dey ask for 23yrs old with masters degree and 5yrs experience? Dey play.

To your question, It's same. Only difference is that you will miss the fun of service. Go to school to be educated, not because of job market(at your age).

There is advantage for those below30. it shows you are below 30.
If you are over 30 and not lying about it, then an exemption is good. If you are over 30 and pretending to be 26, then you need a discharge certificate.

Nothing much. Just the service experience, s you may have made (which may or may not even be significant later in life) and the age difference.

So just go your school. Any job that you age group is qualified for will accept the exemption same way they will accept the discharge.

In Nigeria school na scam, especially the way education is in Nigeria.

If I give birth to my children,all of them are going to attend a technical school from the start,then all of them must have Atleast one tech skill.

Anyone who doesn't follow this path as it is now in Nigeria,will be carrying file from office to office.

About the question asked,both exemption letter and NYSC discharge certificate Carry's same weight, although both are useless and irrelevant in today's world.
