rhames: It is not a matter of system. Nobody will hand you job just because you had a first class. You will be invited for tests and interviews. If a 2:1 does better than you in the test or interview and gets the job ahead of you, you can’t blame the system for that. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

If 1st class honor can't guarantee good job. What is the essence of getting it in the first place? I remembered vividly in my training school long time ago with a first class student in one of the private universities. We took these courses together and the rule was that if you fail a course you have an opportunity to write it again but you must pay a token and if you fail it again. It is bye bye. My people, this fellow failed the course twice and she was advised to leave the training school. The question that came to my mind was that how can someone graduated with a first class honor and failed a course twice. Please educate me as I can't believe it up till today. 1 Like |

Oladayo12: d same way dey make 2-1, they can also make first class...but in most cases, a brilliant second class can hit a first class if there's any form of runs - sorting, or receiving questions before exam 1 Like |

My dear try and do away with that job mentality. It remains the greatest bondage u can trap urself in at the moments. It's not too late at all. I know somebody who has Ph.D from NAU but what he does today is POS business. He rakes in money on daily basis. Put the past behind and forge ahead. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Oladayo12: Guy, you are very wrong! There are even 2:2 who are far better than some 1st class. Don't debate this! Being intelligent is not restricted to your ability to cram class works and pass them well, intelligence transcends academics. A lot of factors could had made a very intelligence person finish school with even a 3rd class grade. 18 Likes |

oyeb15: This is not correct. The job market does not care. Where the job requirements specify 2:1 and above, a 2:1 grad of a private university will be shortlisted while the 2:2 grad of a federal public university will not be shortlisted. Don’t let anybody deceive you that your 2:2 in OAU or UNILAG is equivalent to First Class in Babcock or Madonna. 19 Likes |

Steve0979: It's not about your education, but the giant /lioninside of you. Try your best to activate that giant in you,that is what most Nigerian graduates lack.Our educational/discipline machinery has successfully eroded the giant in us. I will also blame your family here.(I guess you are from a very religious family) The number reason you failed to get a job is because you are an introvert. Awakens the lion in you a make sure you don't bring up your children the way you wia brought up. If you are patient you will make more money been self employed. Let them eat their jobs. 6 Likes |

Oladayo12:Don't be too certain Sir. Back then in my university days in unilag, we had 2 guys that were the brain behind the class, that even the four first class students in my department look up to them for challenging assignments and they admit they aren't even close to these 2 guys when it comes to knowledge. One of these 2 guys was on a 2:2 reason being he hustles daily in computer village to feed and also goes to sit for exams for people in schools outside lagos. even his school fees was being contributed by guys in our department because of his generosity. The second guy was on 2:1 because he fell very sick all through year 1 and he didn't even write most of year1 exam, thereby having almost 10 carry over to deal with in year 2. I wouldn't have believe that some 2.2 can be better than some first class students if I didn't experience it first hand in my department. 11 Likes |

ThreeBlackBird: Exactly, you need to score A in at least 70% of your courses from year 1 to 4 or 5 before making a first class. That means you need to sleep with 70% of your lecturers from year 1 to 5. It doesn’t make sense. Most students that sleep with lecturers do so not to fail a course or not have carry over, not not to make A. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

ModestGal:how can you say you wasted your life doing BSC? Is your mind running on one track? MONEY. Why not reflect on the experiences and knowledge you may have acquired? My friend, the fact that persons without a university degree made money doesn't ruled out the relevance of a university education! Talk more of passing out with a first class.... Money is locked up and education is the key to open it. 2 Likes 1 Share |
