I believe success is relative but I disagree that the kind of school doesnt count.

hello! it does. Some schools help you to discover yourself while some will make you believe you can't go beyond a certain level.

I attended 2 secondary schools. in the first, I only studied 2 days to the exam period and I passed very well, by the school standard. When I moved to the other school, I discovered the previous school had almost ruined me. I almost failed in the 1st term. Pronto! I adjusted to the new standard and that made a great difference in my life.

The truth is that the secondary school impacted even more to my life than the university did.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You guys (destructive critics) have been saying that private university grads cannot survive the real world, I make reference to the very real and present world I work in and you term my post please brother may be you need to check your diction for the meaning of relevance and go through the whole board before posting again I love the federal and state universities but that would never mean they produce better graduates and that was my point in the initial post. Success is relative and the influence of the school(s) attended, negligible. So please think through your intended post before posting and stop producing emotional reviews but factual ones

i think i agree with the fact that Nigerians are becoming too used to failure.tis been a long time that they heard of 1st class results.who can blame them when lecturers tell students that since they(the lecturers) did not get a first class then why should any student get one.
Congrats C.You. the sky is not the limit,tis the beginning.

@Reni:

Its seems to me that most people who can't believe C.You produced 1st Class grad are actually 3rd class or 2-2. I am oppurtuned to be a first class of C.You, in engineering, and i know how i suffered, in school. There were times i cried because one Prof. J.C Ekeh, was unpredictable, there were time i gave up, with motivational words driving me, and the truth is that once you know the secret of sucess, then you can't fail. to be a 1st class in C.You is achieveable.
1. Treat your Mid-semester test and assignments seriously infact more serious than final exams as you have half semester load, which accounts for 40% of the entire grade in a course. Its easy to get 30 over 40 in C.A. The rest is for exams, a starts from 70, so over 60 you are looking for 40 which is just 67percent. Most people neglect the C.A and kill themselves for exam thus getting B's instead of A's.
And who said first class student should be confined to the class, i think thats a shallow thought that should not be let to see the light of day. The only reason why i taught in school, was because i wanted more people to make first class, 2 -1 and depopulate 2-2 and 3rd class. I love solving problems which i beleive other colleagues of mine love.
