well they still had to work their asses out to get those grades
Re: UK Universities With The Highest First Cass Degrees by Threebear(m): 4:16pm On Jul 27, 2017
First Class in the UK is not the same as first class in Nigeria. Westerns have exams mostly by practical, how you go about doing things is the way you are graded. Here we theorize everything and that makes it harder to get first class here but at the end of the day, they gain more knowledge than us,while we cram a whole note book.
Simply put, those people wouldn't get first class of they studied here, but their studies while not as cumbersome is more detailed and practical.

Public school lecturers are actually haters of success. I know one prof in the school I attended, he goes by the name "Prof Amagh Nduka", in the department of physics. I heard that when he schooled in U.I he graduated with a 3rd class but went to the U.S and came out with a first class. Since this man became a lecturer, students in his department hardly come out with a 2.1, talk more of a 1st class.

So now I see why it seems most Nigerians seem to grad with First class from UK universities.

All I would say is if you graduated with any kind of second class just go for a masters because 2.2 would become the new 3rd class and 2.1 become the new 2.2

The labour market is already getting filled with many UK graduates. And Covenant university just emboldened other private universities not to hold their students back from 1st Class by producing about 10% First class degrees. Many public universities like Unilag and UI are already seeing that they put their Alumni at a unique disadvantage in the labour market by intentionally downgrading them academically. So the public university system would become more liberal as the years go bye.

Well, in Uk, the lecturers aren't as bitter and wicked as the ones we have here. For instance, one of our lecturers told us 'anatomy dept can never produce a 1st class because they (lecturers) can't let us do so. 'According to him if we did, there's a chance we could get a job in the department and they simply couldn't allow that.

People easily forget that the top UK schools educate some of the best brains from UK, Europe, Middle East, Russia, USA, Far East and the Commonwealth countries like Australia, NZ, Canada, South Africa, 9ja, Malaysia, Singapore, etc.

Many are on federal scholarship from India, Indonesia, China, Pakistan, etc. Drawn by the prestige of UK education. You have some of the very best candidates from across the world.

Very focused students working in an excellent and conducive environment. You have to have been in one of those schools to know.

What percentage of UI or OAU students are top students from foreign countries?

And someone is trying to dissuade me from aiming for a 1st Class or 2.1 in Bsc Mathematics in a Nigerian university haha!

The vision is set joorr!

With a first-class or at least 2.2 one can study for a masters degree and upgrade to Ph.D subsequently.

Nigerian universities (especially public ones) are the bane of their own progress o jare. We have hardworking students but all they do is frustrate their efforts at excellence and if you're good at what you do they say, "you wan sabi pass your lecturer abi?"

You have talked well, but concerning the bolded it doesn't hold water.

In the job market this doesn't imply if the candidate got employed with the 2:1 or 2:2 grade, in years which you claim that a 2:1 and 2:2 would downgrade those who graduated with such grades most have gone far in their careers and would be assessed by their professional experience, when have you seen managerial positions or experienced hire positions putting much criteria for first degree graduation grade? What they just talk about is experience and higher qualifications like professional certification and masters.

What you are saying would only apply to entry level positions, or except the candidate would have no work experience all the way till that time when the 2:1/2:2 downgrade would start happening.

After obtaining a First Class Degree from London University,

One certificate-less President will be the one to employ them. They will be working with their First Class Certificates as stewards to one school dropout

So the best thing is to acquire a skill

Still doesn't change the fact that people go through"needle's eye" in an average Nigerian university.
There are a whole lot that go on in the process of achieving academic excellence.
You talk of students studying without light, no water, unconducive and crowded lecture hall, lack of proper hygiene ,endless strike and actions...after all these one still expected to make a first class?
