Nigerian Man Protests Bad Governance, Tears NYSC Certificate in Viral Video

A Nigerian man, frustrated with unemployment and economic hardship, tore his NYSC certificate in a viral protest against bad governance, sparking mixed reactions online.

A frustrated Nigerian man has sparked online debate after publicly tearing his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate in protest against bad governance and economic hardship.

The man, participating in the 30-Day Rant Challenge, took to social media to voice his frustration. He lamented that despite years of education and earning a degree, securing employment in Nigeria remains a struggle.

In a viral video, he ripped his NYSC certificate apart, criticizing the worsening economic situation and calling on the government to take action.

“During our parents’ time, they could go to school and afford a basic life. Now, that’s impossible,” he said.

“Are we even talking about the price of gas and electricity? Everything is skyrocketing!”

The video has drawn strong reactions, with some sympathizing with him and others questioning his actions.

@HARRIS_C_BTQ expressed concern:

“It’s painful to see a country with so much potential held back by corruption, bad leadership, and lack of opportunities.”

@3Se0i commented:

“I wanted to say he shouldn’t have torn it, but then I remembered how useless the certificate is 😩.”

@sir_clems12 predicted:

“I told someone that people would soon start tearing their NYSC certificates, and they thought I was joking. Now, here we are. Soon, we’ll start tearing BSc certificates too.”
