yea! ...I agree with you! ...I don't know about the female folks but as a man ...one can't kip waiting in the house n doing nothing after school! ..yu right! ..yu smart!
This thread isn't about being lazy man. It's about being serious with studies. Being serious wold not stop one pursuing enterpreneur. What if you get a good offer to help you save up for the enterpreneur journey. Would that be bad?

I beg to differ, entrepreneurship remains the best.Currently there are limited industries in the country and the supply for labour exceed the demand. So in other to screen intending employees, most companies come up with a strategy by saying 2.1 upward should apply for the job vacancy. Had it being 2.1 are more ,they will peg at first class.This process will go on till more businesses spring forth.So being an entrepreneur makes you the boss of yourself as you can decide when to open or close your shop.You end up employing more people as the business moves to the permanent site. I pity any graduate that wouldn't learn any skills now instead he or she will be waiting for white collar jobs. There are limited white collar jobs now
so you fell in love with that long strike ba? Lol.... Well back to the point. My emphasis wasn't on lack of job. My emphasis is on undergraduates working hard in school as everyone may not be able to be into enterprise. Cheers
Religion / What Happens When One Dies Owing A Lot Of People On Earth? by otabuko(m): 1:30pm On Aug 02, 2017
Hello house, good day. It's break already!

I was discussing today with my close paddy on phone. She told me about someone owing her that died and has been buried, the husband of the deceased before her dead promised to pay her debts,non has been paid till now... In as much as I felt pity for the deceased, but my mind travelled miles just as we all know the rooting of religion. But note: the lady [deceased] was owing plenty people. My simple and single question is, will owing a lot number of people send someone to paradise or hell?

*atheists biko keep off*

Guy, you need to re-read these comments again with an open mind. sad Nobody is saying anything to make people with 2.1 grades feel bad, or to make it look as if they begged for it. And nobody is trying to console those with 2.2 grade or 3rd class. undecided Some of us are just saying it as it is. It has nothing to do with lowering anyone's self-esteem.

In fact, if you arrive in the workplace with an egocentric attitude, or some kind of hyped-up 'esteem,' you will end up falling flat on your face, because it can constitute a barrier to your growth. Humility is a key asset, they don't teach you in business school or at undergrad level, but it is something you need to learn & imbibe, as you move up in the corporate world. sad

I do not know how much work experience you have, but I would like to believe you may not have had much, by way of experience. After working in 4 different continents for about 3 different multinational corporations, the truth I have discovered is that after you scale the hurdle of getting in, what matters most is your ability to deliver & execute prescribed tasks & assignments, as well as how you use your initiative, skills and knowledge to solve problems and provide sustainable solutions, and not really your class of degree. sad

Meeting your deliverables within allotted time schedules, and ensuring those deliverables are in sync with corporate objectives, so it improves the company's bottom line, is what it is all about. sad The question to ask yourself is this: apart from my degree, what value am I going to be adding to the company?
thanks man. When a sensible and responsible person analyzes, it's very easy to see. Cheers

Some comments here are just what some guys in third class and 2'2 need to console themselves. We cant rid ourselves of the fact that a lot of people in 2'2 can perform better than those in 2'1 but you guys shouldn't make it look like some of us in the 2'1 begged for it or stole our way through it. If ur self esteem is lowered cuz u don't have a 2'1 don't make those with it feel as if u are wishing them your situation. I am not against anyone. I am just trying to say in our comparisons, we should do that constructively abeg. Haba

It's very good and exciting to graduate with a 2.1 hoping to get a job just after school.Atleast I am testimony of that.But it didn't come easy because I obtained two professional certification courses in Engineering during my Nysc service year...Thats what most graduates with first class and 2.1 and 2.2 fail to realize..A lot of times your first degree is not just enough,you need something to distinguish you out..Good guys.

People like this make me sick. Your life is about making 2.1 and work in a company. Low self esteem, your 2.1 is as useless as anything if you can think above board. Do you even bother to ask the qualification of the CEO of the company you want to work with
Please move away from your shell and create jobs rather than looking for one.
you're a noise maker. I bet you don't have a company name talk more of registration. You hide behind your phones and talk about entrepreneurship and job creation. You should be sick thinking about how your line of thoughts flow. How many jobs have you created? Abeg.

I dnt know why everyone thinks business is everyone's way! ...just because yuar successful in your own business does not mean anoda person should engage in a business to be successful!

Are yu telling me that one-third of your customers or consumers are not people who got job using their degree! ... Op is making a useful point here! ... Instead of deriving from his points the theme he was trying to create you are telling him to drop his degree n look for a better job!

I believe if yu work yu will get rewarded! ..either yu go through the self employment channel or either using your degree channel! ... Just read the words of Op n get into your head that in wateva yu seem to do ...do it well to be the best!

Yuar seeking a pathway in your career by going for a whitecollar or any job whose salary is worthy of showing off ...get the best results First Class or Second class Upper

If yuar into the self employment module! ...get better in your communication,customer service skills most esp. ICT skills ...the world is quite evolving!

It is not like they are no white collar jobs out Nigeria ...you just don't expect employment offers to be spread across the net ...over 70% of employment offers are not advertised or placed online you should know that ...so be wise!

Whether white collar or self employed! ...it is a game of _different method _same result! ...you both get your money ..depending on how great your passion is!

Am very sure when Oyedepo told his friends he wanted to be a pastor ...he would surely be made jest of! ...Now the n!gga is in money! ...money mostly gotten from pockets of self-employed n white collar job holders! ...he is not self-employed neither is he employed he is a man of God so to say! ...blessed by your pockets!

Lord is God! ..halleluyaaah sumbody! Hehehehe! ...if yu get deep voice n White teeth ..better go open church n get your money quick before they start taxing them in few years time!

Please do not make yourself miserable. sad I have seen 2.2 graduates with a Masters' degree, being gainfully employed by multinationals. And I have seen 2.1 graduates with the same masters' degree, flunking interviews and entrance exams into several companies. Different strokes for different folks. HR managers & recruiters always ask for 2.1 graduates in order to make their own job easier, or to reduce the large volume of applications, they receive for a role. undecided

I have sat on interview panels before, and I have seen graduates with a 3rd class perform even better during interview and assessment sessions, than 2.1 graduates. cheesy When you finally get a job in a structured multinational firm, you will see there isn't much difference between 2.1 graduates and 2.2 graduates. In fact, what would probably count more are your willingness to learn, aptitude to execute tasks, ability to think outside the box and get solutions, as well as the tenacity to go the extra mile. undecided Getting additional professional qualifications, also helps a candidate more than a 2.1 grade would do. It is only God that opens a door, and no man shuts it. Even a 1st class degree, may not open some doors for you.
seriously I appreciate this writeup/response. Thanks brother.

Education / Agony Of 2.2 Bachelors Degree With Masters Degree by otabuko(m): 11:07am On Jul 31, 2017
This is going to be a lesson. As short as possible. Undergraduates should strive to make atleast a 2.1. People refer to Timaya and 16/400 in Jamb and my simple question is, would everyone make it like Timaya in Music. Some refer to Dino. Now, do you have the connection he has. *back to my point* after making a 2.2[CGPA 3.42] and bagging masters, I still see job openings that say 2.1 in first degree plus masters. I just feel like fainting, and no one agrees to shift for me to faint. Try your best undergraduates. Your first degree is always the strongest side. Cheers.
Do not let people deceive you with entrepreneurship, everyone would not be one.
Cheers again!
