Kai! Furken Basterdos! Lmaooooooooo!!!!!!!!

I will suggest you do master to help you stand out. Companies don't value 2.2

2.2 jobs comes with serious fasting

If you are able to do master, you will have edge over first class student.

Remember Aptitude test by dragnet and etc awaits you.

padi nothing do you.im sure u were sampling some of those caucasian fleshpots in school just be positive and ignore the haters

2:2 after spending that millions of naira in UK university Guy u no try at all, thats a total waste of money man

why are you guys all over this dude?

so they invited a thirdee from a foreign uni for interview but wouldnt give our 2.2 grads the oppurtunity to even apply?
the height of our inferiority complex im this country is stagerring!

This thread reeks of jealousy. Poster don't mind the haters cos they're probably envious, you should be proud of your degree.

If you want to know what your real chances are, start applying and see what the response is like. I don't think a Nigerian employer will see a 2.2 from a Nigerian Uni the same as a 2.2 from a UK Uni. Except it's one of those dodgy ones and many times sef, naija folk can't tell the difference (tho it's no excuse).
Try and see for yourself and don't rule out the option of getting additional qualifications. I would recommend professional certifications over a Masters' degree because they're more specialized. Decide your specific area of interest and go for it.

@op:Don't lose hope. Many people who think American and UK schools are easy are usually stupid and insecure people who have not experienced life outside their local world. They fail to understand that many foreign schools differ on the level of difficulty and competition. Even the so-called easy schools require a fair amount of work. That's why I laugh(silently) when I see many arrogant Nigerian first class and 2:1 who are struggling with "common" GMAT and GRE. OP, don't despair. Rather, take the advice of some sensible people that have spoken. Just use every resource around you and network properly. Apply to as many jobs as possible. I won't deceive you by saying Nigeria is easy, but I believe you can do a lot with faith and patience. FYI, I did well in one of the most competitive and difficult American colleges, and I'm presently working in a multinational in Naija. Please people I apologize if my language sounds harsh and insulting, but I despise insensitivity and arrogance.

Dont try to consolidate yourself with your poor result..universities in uk are not easy but they are not as difficult as universities in Naija..If you spend that millions of naira to school abroad and all you could get is a 2:2, am telling you that is a total waste of money(either you are dullard or you not serious enough), there is no word to justify your failure. I went to uni in uk so i know what am talking about

If you took the time to read properly, then you would know that I did not have a poor result. People with poor results don't work where I work. I won't bother mentioning my achievements since it would make me look like a braggart. I get your message Einstein.

Bro,

Studying in the UK isn't all about the certificate. U're exposed to different perspectives from the ones you're used to. I concur with getting some professional qualifications tho, PMP or something. I finished with a Masters distinction and am still hustling my certification. If that letter doesn't come; think outside the box. Been in Nigeria since mid september and made a wad, more than I made before I resigned to go. I just started applying this month tho. Don't dull, money from multiple sources is the path to financial freedom. Find a need and fulfill it. Cheers
