Lanre lamented that all the jobs he had been able to do since his graduation were those meant for illiterates, rendering his certificates useless.

According to Lanre, it was better for young people to acquire skills instead of going to school to study for a long time for certificates they would end up not using.

He brought out all the certificates and lit them on fire while lamenting how he hadn't used them to secure anything useful for himself.

Some netizens agreed with him, but others bashed him for taking what they called a rash action. The video was posted by @perfectskones and @ngozikan.
