It is a tough call but it is not impossible. A 2:2 should not stop you from achieveing your dreams, you only need to know how to get around it. I would advice you to go for a masters degree in Nigeria first. I am aware that University of ibadan would take a 2:2 for a masters degree - i know people with 2:2 who did their masters there. Then you should look at other exams that could help to boost your profile and make you applications really strong: GRE, TOEFL, GMAT etc.
You can then look at applying for PhD scholarships abroad.
Remember, dreams never die.
dont stop until you reach your dreams. Persistence breaks resistance!
