In some schools you lose CGPA points for "trivial" things like absenteeism, non participation in sports/social activities.

Oh. Okay. That's true, including not attending gym. Watched it a lot on TV. Why can't they something like that in Nigeria too. But they shouldn't affect grades bit you must do/pass them to graduate just like GST/GAS courses

He should come to Nigeria university to test himself
