“A Graduate Is Ten Times Better Than a Billionaire Without a Degree” — Kogi University Fresh Graduate

A fresh graduate of Federal University Lokoja, Victor Akubo, sparked controversy online after claiming that a university graduate is ten times better than a billionaire without a degree.

A recent graduate of the Federal University Lokoja (FUL), Victor Akubo, has sparked online debate after declaring that a university graduate is ten times better than a billionaire without a degree.

Victor made the statement on his Facebook page shortly after his convocation ceremony, celebrating his academic achievement.

According to him, higher education gives individuals prestige and knowledge that wealth alone cannot provide. He argued that regardless of financial success, anyone without a university degree cannot be considered better than a graduate.

Photos shared online showed Victor proudly posing in his graduation gown alongside his friends and family.

His statement, however, drew mixed reactions from social media users. Many suggested that real-life experiences after school would change his mindset.

Some comments included:

• Abdul Samad: “This guy will soon start wondering why he even went to school 💔🤣”
• Alle Ex: “All these Animal Science students, smh 🤦”
• Bea Uty: “You’ll calm down after NYSC. That’s when you’ll realize life is rice and beans.”
• Opinion Ojoduwene: “Bro became a motivational speaker less than a week after graduating.”
• Gbemiro: “I have a feeling this guy studied Political Science.”
