Simply put...2.1 in Nigeria equivalent to 4.0GPA in US

Look at his head......I know he must be an Ibo boy!



Igbos !

honestly to me, I don't see it as bashing instead I see it as a push...........and it actually pushed me to archive 4.0 GPA.

yes

Shebi its only in Nigeria that the lecturers feel that they are better than Harvard University lecturers. Stupid country.. How do you explain someone failing in Nigeria and going to pass in flying colours in the US and UK. Are you telling me that the Nigerian education system is of more quality and difficult to pass? The African mentality is just plain wicked.

A Twitter user who graduated with a perfect 4.0 CGPA shared photos from his Msc graduation ceremony in Texas, USA and narrated how his dad's friend advised his dad not to send him for his masters in the US because he graduated with less than 2.1 during his B.sc in Nigeria.

The reason why it is conducive over there is because fees are as high as $20000 annually.

Meanwhile Nigerians want same for less than $1000.

You cannot get a Mercedes Benz at the cost of a bicycle.Quality education is expensive.

Education In America still remains the cheapest by international standards.20,000 dollars is barely a moderate sum to acquire a world class education.
Don't use your failed economy/educational system as a standard of measurement.Even if we pay 1million annually here in Nigeria,the standard will still be poor,courtesy of the Nigeria factor.

Little did they know that most of our lecturers and professors have below average IQ to follow up with students with a higher IQ, the results is a flop in their result, when they can't see the angle you are reasoning from instead for them to fine tune your ideas they tell you to shut up and sit down.

I wish I can like this comment over and over again..... A salient fact this is...

"who go better go better"
"All work and no play makes jack a dull boy"
"what will be will be"
All these falsehood and lazy beliefs are the reasons Nigeria/Africa still remains at the backdoor in virtually all areas of human eendeavours in the world

If $20,000 can give them quality education in America, then N20,000 naira too should be able to give super-quality education in Nigeria too. The problem is not the amount, the problem is that successive Nigerian governments have continuously destroyed our economy and bastardized our currency since independence. There was a time our naira was stronger than the dollar, and equivalent to the pound. But today, the dollar is over 300 times the naira’s worth. Imagine if Americans are averagely spending over half-a-million dollars as tuition per year, they would have had another civil war because of it and removed the government from power for that. Do you know the first American civil war that led to their independence from Britain was because the British monarchy imposed a tax on tea. Because of “ordinary” tax on tea, Americans fought a civil war against the British and got their independence. How much worse do you think Americans will do if they had to pay over $500,000 per year because of a fake excuse “quality education”? They will have Armageddon against their government, not just civil war . Why should Nigerians be forced to pay over half-millions of naira in Nigeria to have quality education. Something is definitely wrong. If Americans are paying $20k for quality education and Europeans are paying €20k for quality education, and South Africans are paying 20k rands for quality education, then Nigerians too must be able to pay N20k for quality education. Or are we less human than them?

Exactly.
I was astonished when people in my state protested increase in fees paid in public schools. The government proposed N10,000 per term. Ten thousand naira! People do not want to pay that but they want quality education.
The masses have a hand in their sorrow

Bro am happy the man gingered u to success... now dont rub it in face, simply thank him (while opening ur teeth wide ) for motivating u!!!!

The father`s friend should bury his head in shame

Ehiscotch:


His dad friend's probably had his reasons.

Just don't look at the face value of the story.

His father must have worked hard for his money and his boy scored low in Nigeria, I don't blame him for being pessimistic of the boy's chances abroad.

Plus, that probably was the needed mmotivation that saw the boy through his education abroad.

I bet he had the "prove them wrong" motto along with him.

is it d fathers friend that paid d guys school fees?will d so called fathers friend spare anything in educating his child?

His village people sent the father's friend to represent them but he failed
