Why Is It That Whites Hardly Boast Of Having First Class??? by eberetos: 7:19pm On Nov 17, 2017 |
Have you noticed that whites hardly boast of having first class Even if you check the profiles of white professors on text books, you hardly see anything like "what grade they came out with"... But for Nigerians, first class is adored. Can you say why whites hardly attach grades to their profile |

What you can offer is key rather than what is on the paper. ArchangeLucifer: Even this magna summa bla bla is not well spoken of. Okay! Is Elon Musk a magna...? Or Zukerberg? These guys don't do paper works per se. It is Nigeria that you keep shouting First class, Second class and third class even with the shout no reasonable job dey 17 Likes |

eberetos: They do actually - only they don't call it First Class or 2:1 like us. Ever heard of Magna Cum Laude? GPA for cum laude - 3.5 to 3.7; GPA for magna cum laude - 3.8 to 3.9; GPA for summa cum laude - 4.0+ Anything below 3.5 over there is insignificant so 2:2 students should take note & understand why geniuses don't respect you. Is not that we don't like you guys, we hate you - period! 11 Likes |

That is not very true, it is always cited when it is needed but whites placed more potentials and priorities on what you can achieve on your own rather than a supervised condition. 1 Like |

they don't bear titles too. you won't hear Professor,Engr,Chief,only their medical Drs bear that at times for patients to recognize them on time. Obama was probably a professor or Dr but you would never see any of those n front of his name unlike our Prof Yemi Osinbajo. Donald Trump held many honororary degrees but you wulould never hear Dr Trump. Our people attaching titles are just empty barrels with low self esteem 13 Likes 3 Shares |

The thing is that, Whites don't stress themselves that much before they get a first class honour. Unlike the Nigerian schools where lecturers will frustrate your life. So I think those that managed or privileged to get first class honours here in Nigeria place more respect to it |

The emphasis there is on your skill and how you can contribute effectively not just academic grades. How first class here are still struggling with practical skills while over there they talk about inventions by Students |

eberetos: It simply because they believe on one's ability, not some grade on a piece of paper. It is one of the reasons they're highly developed, they don't discriminate among graduates (grades). almost every individual has something positive to contribute to the growth and development of their country, inrespective of your educational background, you must surely have an organisation that will employ you, unless you are lazy.. A high profile of America's great individuals never finished with the highest distinction, some were drop outs. But they've changed and impacted positively to their country and beyond. |

ArchangeLucifer: Sir... which whites please? Cos we don’t use “Magna stuff” in the UK. Please don’t generalise. It’s all First Class ... Second Class etc. Plus the grading system is different from what you just mentioned. We use percentages: over 100. we don’t use grade points like 3.5 or stuffs. Plus the op is wrong as well. Whites do acknowledge and celebrate first class honours. Just not in the manner, and to the extent, we do in Nigeria. There are base points in recruitment processes of many organisations, at least law firms, for your final degree class, and even university you graduated from. So if you finished from Oxford for instance, some law firms regard you applications higher than, say you finished from Coventry or other smaller universities. |
