I wrote the epistle below in response to comments by some friends on the social media who said that you do not need certificates (college degrees) to be a successful leader of a country like Nigeria - I totally disagree. While I am a proponent of not letting your certificates determine who you are, not to give in to inferiority or superiority complex because you do not have a college degree, it does not extend to leading a complex organization or country like Nigeria. You need to be adequately prepared to succeed in a high-level position like the presidency of a complex country like Nigeria - we have a good example in the US. Please read with joy. A good certificate or a quality education (not wishy-washy) "can" make a difference in a man where the yardstick for measuring success is clear. We cannot measure success in Nigeria because the apparatus is not available and the people don't even know what a successful government is because they have never experienced one. S
