Succour finally came the way of Osunleke Alaba, a graduate of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), who trended a few days after he returned his certificate to his institution.
He received the cheque from the Global President of LAUTECH Alumni Association, Onilede Solomon, this past Sunday.

Recall that the graduate returned to the university in tears, lamenting his certificate was not useful as he could not secure a job years after graduating.
Lamenting about his plight, the social media skitmaker said:
“I returned the certificate because it had no impact on my existence. I asked for a refund of the fees paid in school so I could use it to build my talent and live a meaningful life.
“I am an entertainer and even won the MTN talent hunt award during my service year in 2016.
“I have continued to struggle in life such that the opportunities I am getting is to do money rituals but I don’t want to do such. I want to be useful to Nigeria, my family, myself and to God.
“I am married with two kids; my dad is 90 years old but I continue to borrow money from him rather than give him. He told me that he took loans to fund my education and hasn’t refunded them and cannot continue to borrow money to give me.
“I ask for help in any form. I want to pursue my entertainment career. I don’t want my career wasted.”
Speaking after receiving the cheque, Alaba sent his appreciation post to the Global Body of LAUTECH Alumni via Facebook.
His appreciation post on Facebook read:
“I hereby seize this medium to express my deep appreciation to the Global Body of LAUTECH Alumni as outstandingly led by the President, Hon. Onilede Solomon popularly known as LIMO, the Board of Trustees, and the Oyo State Chapter of the Association for their presentation of the N500,000 cheque to me today.
“May Almighty God continue to be with you and all members of the Association for their show of love and support. I thank you once again.”
