We are on the same boat bro, I graduated with 4.46 and sometimes I feel like I could have channelled major focus on skills and personal development but I chose to live an austere life in school.
Though I don't have any regrets as I still count it as a win for me, right now I'm focused in honing my skills.


Only you can perfectly understand such feeling. You focus so well and you still don't get the first class and you ended up on the same class with someone with 3.50.

I remember back then in school when those children from poor families used to tell me that no course is useless. A lot of them were studying biochemistry microbiology and co.

I didn't believe, I focused more on my skills and started earning six figures by my second year in school....

Today I'm hitting more than half a million back to back and they are secondary school teachers...

Education is great but if you're not very intelligent, get a skill or get smart.... You'll need them....

Many courses in Nigerian Universities are useless, you will not know until you graduate.

Wake up

Are u saying biochemistry and microbiology are useless.. these are courses that has librated some set of individuals and they are been thankful…. It’s just so unfortunate your friends are secondary school teachers wic is also part of the scope of their discipline and as time goes on they can climb the ladder and go on to become a lecturer yet there are still lucrative sectors where these courses are best fit… you’re raking half milli just be thankful and get this what u do others might try it and still fail… this life is really an irony….. All the best….

This one hit.
I lost one job opportunity during my finals and it still bite till date. Wasn't that street smart enough to have started hustling from my sophomore days, if I had done that when I had the chance, the story would have been another thing today.

But then, I'm grateful for all those times, everything now is just a bonus.

Reading through ur comment brings back my most grievance situation… I spent almost 10 years migrating thru sch (3years diploma, 5years degree plus a year strike nd 1 year of nysc). I was in my final yr in 2019 when I got an invites from a fed uni wic I applied for their non teaching academic staff with my diploma but I brushed it off thinking I sud focus nd graduate first then a better offer may come up Nd again in 2020 got shortlisted for army ssc/dssc course nd still couldn’t go cos I was serving then…. According to ur last paragraph been grateful is def the magical way to reach the top…

That's the magic, man.

My hands are tie right now but somehow you manage to draw me out with this your story. During my finals, a friend called to inform me about a sure NPF plug and I could pay next to nothing to get a slot but I was a neck-deep into reading as our exams was by the door. Well, to cut the boring story short, I rejected the move and I didn't make the distinction class too, few months after NYSC, the homie met me while hustling as a cleaner while he was already an inspector..

Let me just stop here. I'm grateful for everything though.

This is heartbreaking… I’m sure u won’t relent… we keep moving… I didn’t even included the invites I got from navy for their non degree category wic I also attempted coupled with a connection plug nd I cud just join their medical unit nd start from somewhere but I was aiming too high thinking a degree certificate will do more justice but the race is still on anyways…

The major schools I have seen accept the results in the scale our universities use. I am avoiding schools that need WES evaluation which is very expensive. And from people who I have seen do the WES evaluation a 4.45 will most likely land in 3.6+/4. Which is a First class overthere.
