3.46 and u are pained, what way shld I feel, as I graduated with 3.49. Anytime I. Think of my result I feel like crying. God will bless us

UuzbaGuuzba:


Dude you really need to change your attitude. It isn't helping at all. There is nothing like luck in this world. You aim at what you want. I will stop writing. You are in an education thread as a graduate and your word spellings are terrible and casual. Nobody will take you serious. You need to MAN UP! Take responsiblity.
I am writing you from Experience! I got 2-2. My wife got 1st class from the same University. Our attitudes to life are different. I have quizzed her about the 1st Class and seen exactly where I made my mistakes and got 2-2.

I only sympathise because I too struggled with this your same attitude.

Go and study politics. This is your country. Who formed quiet?

Because we are not a family, that is why Buharu kept quiet. He does not care. None of us care.

nnamdi1993:
d moment u said der's nothing like luck in dis world,i stopped reading.its ur kind dat blivs dat ur waking up today is by ur power.u deserved u 2:2

UuzbaGuuzba:


And where is it Legal for 2 of you to copy each other? This is your mistake.

Do your exams alone! Stop copying or allowing yourself to be copied. It is psychologically destructive. It shows you are just lazy. Were you both not given 1 exam script each? You face your work, key him face his. You didn't read what he read. He now USED YOU to jump to higher marks and left you behind. You damaged yourself.

Dude. Face your challenges. Prepare well BEFORE EXAMS.

nnamdi1993:
ok...i no get strength to dey folo u talk dis one

UuzbaGuuzba:


If one reads English for Maths Exam, the person will fail. It is not by Reading Well-well. It is by reading and learning what is spefically required for the First class.

If a First class person was sat beside you and you both were given the same exam questions, he will complete more answers than you. If you asked him how he knows all this answers, he will say he read it in this or that book or hand out.

Question: Did you read the books and handouts that he read? If you were reading different set of materials how do you expect to pass this one specific exam? What were you reading when he was reading his own materials? And HOW did he know WHICH materials to read and WHERE to find them?

This is the mistake 2-2 people make. They start off by dissociating themselves from First class people. Then they are unconnected and lost. They read a lot of irrelevant material. And cannot answer JUST what is required for the PARTICULAR exam.

DavidGodwin:
I feel your pain bro. Please encourage yourself in the Lord. I've heard of a 3rd class graduate who became a lecturer in a university. I've seen where those with 2:2 became lecturers. U and I are witness to some posts of 2:1 graduates who were looking for jobs with placards. Don't lose hope in urself. Meanwhile, I advise u go for ur masters. Develop yourself with a skill too. This will definitely help u. I had a 2:1, sincerely, I doubt if I'll use my certificate. I already have a job. Just waiting for NYSC then God's grace I'll start up my biz. Good luck, sir!

Aspireahead:



learn a skill...no, learn so many skills...photography, website design, graphic design, driving, video editing,fashion design...learn any skills that comes your way....make friends, no chose friends that improve...go for self development trainings...and finally hook your self to a mentor...only then do you have a right to graduate.

vickodedon:

So wat are you gonna be teaching me??

princedami:

Oh! Wow! What course did u studied and which uni offered you admission?

vickodedon:
Same tin happening to me bruv buh our difference is "I am still in school". Wat shld I do

nnamdi1993:
Correct me if am wrong, first class-excellent,2.1-above average, 2.2-average,3rd class-below average,den we have pass. I am a 2.2 graduate from a federal university in nigeria. I graduated with a 3.46.if result was to be given according to how serious one was in school,i would have made a first class. The way most companies see us,like all of us 2.2 graduates just went to school to play which is a lie.

Yes most people go to school to play,even 2.1 graduates to but the 2.1 done cover them up.while i was in secondary school,i was the top of my class,but when i enter university and started seeing some of my results,it seemed to me as if i was dumb if not that in my 3rd year and final year i had very high cgp's.i worked very hard to make it up but no way. A friend i met in 3rd year which before we met he wasnt on a 2.1 finished with a 2:1.i could remember vivdly well in my 2nd year,we did matrixes as a course. A friend of mine came to seat with me because he was scared of the course,i helped him that day to the point that i knew all the six questions while we were to ans five,i did my five and solved the last one for him on my question paper so he would copy four from me and write the one i solved. To my surprise the result came.i had an E in a 3unit course he had a 8. I wasnt happy so i went to meet my adviser,he told me point blank not to pursue it but if i insist,i would pay 5k and still wait one year for the remarking. So i just took his advice because i no fit get money to eat talkless of five k. I had 3 A's and some Bs that when a friend saw my result,i saw my gp, he was pissed of. I know what it takes to come out with a first class or a 2.1 and i say kudos to them but i have seen people in my department who hardly come to school,all they do is school politics and at the end bought 2:1 from my adviser for 250k. I too had that link to buy, but where i go get that kind money from. My friend who came out with a 2,1 knows that i am even capable of a first class but certain circumstances would allow it. God factor also goes along way because if by jacking and seriousness alone,many of us would have made first class.

There is a saying 'na who pass know book'.thats the nigerian mentality but its a wrong one. To all 2;2 graduates out there,dont feel bad when you see job adverts saying 2:1 minimim, God would bless you when its your time. Olajumoke no get degree but God help am. Be patience e never reach your turn yet. To all 2.1 graduates,kudos e no easy at all. Una time go still cum.3rd class no worry blessing go come one day. To employers. Give all of us a platform to try our luck then pursue us if we fail rather than tagging us failures before we even try.2.1 or 2:2, i know am good b wasnt lucky.

sinaj:
Serzly the school system is so corrupt. Evn the lecturers are not helping matters with their sorting ish.

You will see a student that comes to class only wen there is test or exam dragging the same grade with you that didn't miss a lecture for one day.


Most times I wonder if they don't pay these lecturers well for them to rely on sorting.

Even if they give you a grade you don't deserve and u apply for remarking, they will see you as a rebel and start threatening you.




My advice for Nigerian students, is for them to try and come out with a good grade you can defend outside the school.

For those with 3rd class nd 2.2, just make sure you can defend it.
Av come to notice that 3rd class nd 2.2 excel more in the society than those with 1st class.

Because they buckle up, trying to please their employers unlike most 1st class that rely on their certificate to pave way for them.

nyben4eva:


If I should evaluate you based on your written English,I would say you're dumb!On the other hand,who am I to judge you.Instead of trying to attract sympathy or pity,why don't you prove yourself beyond your certificate.

Sleekyshuga:

Above 3.0 can do a direct M.Sc, though there are courses (in Nigeria) that requires a straight 2.1. Example; Occupational Health Safety.

Below 3.0, a PGD is attained first.

Srallens:
. Physics B.Sc. But your CGPA must b greater than 3.0 or at least 3.0.

princedami:

How about Agricultural science [fisheries and aquaculture]?

princedami:

Hmmm.. Ok.
Am actually studying fisheries and aquaculture

princedami:


But I heard that someone with a 2.2 can't do Msc directly that he/she has to do PGD->MSC->PHD... I don't get it. Can you say something about that?

ijobawise:
.............hmm first class in M.Sc.............boss na yhu ooooooooooo..wia did dey gv first class in masters degree...smh for yhu

Osgilliat:
Corruption has eaten deep in every sector.. Because I didn't follow the band wagon of paying for grades I found myself where I don't want to be 2.2. And since then I have lost interest in furthering the yeye education and now I'm making money that even someone in the bank sector with first class and a lot of working hours can't make.
Don't let that grade deceive you. You are better than that.. White collar job is over rated in Nigeria, some people just like the idea of putting on the slavery suits everyday saying they are going to office just for going sake, while you can put on your jeans and shirt and still make your money.whenever I go to bank.. I always see the staffs there as corporate slaves in suits disguise.

Eltymob:
I think so many people on this forum need to get their facts right in order not to mislead the younger ones here. For those saying a 2.2 graduate can only be admitted for MSc if his/her gp is 3.0 and above, pls which university said that? I graduated from OAU with a gp less than 3.0, got admitted for MSc in a course different and even superior than my first degree at University of Ibadan, and right now i'm on my doctorate, and also working in a renown NGO! So pls, get your facts right. Do your best to graduate with a good grade, and if you don't, maybe because of one reason or the other, do not let anyone put you down. You can still be who you want to be, God and determination are what you need.
