I do not know you, but I am highly disappointed that you allow people who are at the same level with you make you look inferior to your own very self.I will not even blame those guys who finished from the Federal Universities. I will blame you for allowing their statements to hit you so bad that you lost your esteem completely. You even come up to put up a thread about that. By so doing, you have confirmed that they are truly better than you.

Let me tell you something. Your own situation is even better than mine. After all, you finished from a University but a state Uni right? I faced the same kinds of discussion while serving NYSC too. Mine is even worse because I was serving as a HND graduate. some friends I met in the camp deliberately raised these issues to provoke me. But you know what, I never gave a damn about all they were saying because what mattered to me was not where I was at that time. What mattered to me was where I was going. In addition, even if they graduate with first class from the best Federal University in the world (not just Nigeria), I didn't see any difference in any of us because "unemployment no dey look face". It doesn't matter if you finish from federal or state school or Polytechnic. Unemployment is unemployment. We were all the same bloody Corpers with 99.99% chance of not getting our dream dream jobs after NYSC. So, how were they better than me? So, I never saw any difference in us.

To cut the long story short. I didn't allow those dirty talks to affect me. I didn't look down on myself. I kept moving and held my dreams high. That was in 2006. As at today, majority of those same guys ranting blah...blah blah about the superiority of federal universities are still on the same spot, complaining and lamenting about Nigeria anytime they see me online. Meanwhile, me the HND grad have worked in a place where they are still dreaming of. As at my last interview with Shell in Texas, they were asking if I would also like to work in Nigeria or just Texas alone. I gladly told the interviewer that I will be willing to work anywhere including Nigeria. I was so particular about Nigeria because of those guys who had said lots of nonsense about my qualification back then. I guess with that, they would learn not to underestimate anybody because of their "paper" qualification or where they graduate from.

I'm sorry if this looks like bragging. Bragging is not my intention. I only give a brief story of my life just to let you know that the only person who can stop you from attaining success in life is you. Nobody can stop you...and not even those mocking you about where you graduated from. Mind you, I didn't stop at the HND . I worked my arss out into the Grad school in the US, and currently focusing on software engineering. You can do better than those guys "If you believe in yourself". No mind them

baddiguy:
OP, Guys, let me introduce you to this preacher bragging here in the guise of being in the US as a Shell employee. From the following link, you will discover that he applied to ShopRite recently, and they turned him down!

And then he puts "United States" here as his location, only to come here and claim he's not bragging about what he is not.
Chai, Nigerians, when shall we quit the scamming

I wrote all that to inspire him to move on. Typing all that isn't easy, and you don't have to read it. If you have not got anything good to tell him, why don't you just shut up? By the way, I checked your profile pix and I saw 11 people and one very black creature standing back. What is that thing?

aktunde: @ziqqz

So, you think that mumu that calls himself baddiguy has discovered a scammer? Well, I am not one of them. It' so unfortunate that you get carried away like that
@baddiguy or what do you call yourself, show yourself. You refused to tell me about that thing that was standing among 11 men in that your profile pix. I am me, and my location is real. Go and ask Vandops on NL (in the travel session), he lives close to me here in the US and he can identify me with my pictures. Mumu

Dignitary: And what about private uni's ?

Some state uni's are better than many private uni's.

But employers have this @ the back of their mind when recruiting.

First preference: Federal Uni's ...ESP the best 5: U.I,IFE,ABU,UNN,UNILAG,UNILORIN/UNIBEN. Grad's from Fed Uni's like UNIPORT are most often than not viewed with 'suspicion'.

2nd preference: Private uni's.

3rd preference: State uni's.

*The gap between no. 1 and 2 is VERY VERY WIDE

This is the bitter truth.

aktunde: @baddiguy,

I honestly see that you are indeed a clown. I just can't believe I am even laughing now. I'm tired of all these. So, you are even so idle that you have the time to check for spelling mistakes just to find a fault. I can tell you need a job. I have sent you an email just to show that I am real, but please don't respond with your resume. I'm out of here, so you can continue to cry.

webcalculator: what is actually going on in the labour market?

i'm a corps member and i want to use this medium to understand better what is actually going on in the labour market.

i graduated from a state university, with a very good honours, and the intimidation i'm getting from my fellow corps members that graduated from federal universities is just unbearable. Inferiority complexes are quietly creepping into my life

when i graduated from secondary school, i had admission in a federal university cum state university. i was offered civil engineering in the federal uni., and electrical in the state. my passion then was to study electrical engineering and i don't want to waste a year, so i choosed electrical and that landed me in a state university.

the shock is that my fellow corps members were like i went to no school, employers don't employe graduates from state universities.

though i know that i'm academically sound, i have developed inferiority complexes. my thinking now is whether i will ever get employed.

please, is it true that employers despise state university graduates?

aktunde: @ baddiguy:


Like I told you, God has taken me from no where, to the place me where I am today. I hate to brag. I also hate to put my pics online, but I will do so today because of a foool like you. I have friends on facebook, and NL (especially on the travel section) who know I am real. First, let me address that link about shopright. I only posted that just to be funny online. That was not me. Scroll down and see me live. I will take down the pix in 48 hours because like I told you, I dont put my pix online. If you doubt if its still me, look at the name of the school in the sweater I wear in that Picture. Do you see the name of the school? now send an email to akinyemia0808@students.bowiestate.edu. You will see that the name of the school on the sweater match my school email address which I just gave. I will copy that your same email and post it on Nairaland. You are a big foool, trying to attack me because I am trying to inspire someone. Take a look at my pix, and let's see if you are better. I have much evidence to show that God has brought me up from no where. But I will not risk my privacy online because of a a nuinsance like you. Just manage the few pix about me. he-goat!!

You CHOOSED electrical.
You can now see why labour market is too creepy for you.

I also graduated from a state university, and I can confirm that Federal unis are better. But, this does not make graduates of Federal unis better than state unis.

Most state unis are nothing to write home about. The schools are overcrowded, especially Mgt and courses in humanities. Engineering courses are comparatively better than others. But, this should not make you allow others to look down on you.

You really disappoint me. Why put your pics here just to prove to TWARTS that you are for real?
You,ve made your point, anyone in doubt can go and hug transformer.
