The OP wasn't looking for advice, the OP was testifying that he graduated with a 3rd class but 1st class students work for him now, that's pretty offensive to me. However, other 3rd class graduates were encouraging the OP, talking about Bill Gates and Dangote. One even advised the OP to go for his Masters degree.

Is that what it has become in Nigeria? When did it get that bad?

Xtaceeey:

The OP is far different from the person who testified abt 1st class working 4him. The OP is lookin 4 advice on how 2go abt a masters programme sef.. U ar 2 quic 2conclude u r even mixin ppl up, ds ur 2nd error now.. If u wia a student, u wud av failed woefully cuz u mak 2many mistakes nd cud lead 2u nt gettin d acquired grade u truly deserve/desire... Lolz jst kiddin dnt attack me ooo cuz I av bn liking ur comments on d thread so far.

I'm recommending you a full neurological diagnosis. Don't mention, you can thank me later.

What do you guys think an MSc program is? A jamboree? Someone that couldn't pass in UG should go for an MSc Program. In which school?

"If I was a student". I'm a student pursuing a post graduate degree and I don't care if you like my comments or not, I'll attack anyone who tries to encourage failure or show any sympathy. That's a very wrong message to send to our youths, that someone can be successful even with a 3rd class degree.

I don't know how you guys define "success", but being successful means different things to different people. My definition of success is to achieve that which I desire and that's not living in a luxurious house or driving a flashy car.

I desire making headlines in academic research, writing a book on malignant neoplasm and it's cure. That's being successful to me.

You guys always attribute success to wealth, that's wrong and that's what's f$!ked up about Nigerians mentality and if our youths should carry on with such impuned mentality, who's not going to loot the treasury?

Pasca07: @rudedough does it mean you can't comprehend or what?maybe u need to read the first page of this thread cos your last comment makes me wonder how you will graduate with first class or 2:1,you let emotion becloud your sense of reasoning pls read the OP post from page one.

Emmadani: are you in nursery one?

emmysoftyou: sorry if these thread is open for third class candidate.
But am here to air my view,because there is a woman who work in one of the reputable company in nigeria,here in lagos,this woman interview my sister,then after interview,she chat with my sist,and told her that she came out with third class ,that afta nysc life became perplexed to her. she later went 4 her master b4 she got her current company job as HR.
My advice to you all is that go do ur master or if yu ve God s connection nuttin wil stop you.
me wey com out wit 2:1 shey coy don giv me job?no na God go do am 4 us o0. No giv up and no let am distract you,God dey see us All and He wil help us all at the nick of time Amen.one love

Spencer63:
nope... I am not in nursery one... but am sure you are... cause I am wondering if it was in d university u were thought to answer a question with a question !!!

Nd u stil had 2write all dis 4 jst ma 6 lines post? Now I agree wt pasca07, did u see me sympathising wt d OP? I am oly pointin out ur own error. OP dint testify shikena..

You get wahala ghon. You need to see me in my office by 8PM, or you won't graduate.

tope56: I came out with third class but I never allow it to weight me down I didn't even tell my friends except my course mate so that hey will not discourage me and thank God today those that came out with first class are working under me.

Elgaxton: First class doesn't necessarily mean you are intelligent. For the most, it means you were serious while in school.

Same goes for third class honors too.

Follow your passion

Emmadani: spencer find way sitdown,i no get power to argue on this topic again,na you cari me kum back here.

Bottom line is 3rd class graduates cannot think outside the box, they're very unserious people. To achieve anything in life, there "must" be a deep sense of seriousness and focus.

3rd class graduates can't even do modern day business (Leverage, outsourcing, contract etc) except the old buying and selling.

rudedough: [b]You guys can lie to yourselves all you want that a 3rd class graduates can do this and that and be "successful".

2good has already taken the words out of my mouth but I'll want to add.

How many 3rd class graduates produced the things we enjoy on earth today?

Internet
TV
Aeroplane
Computer
Cars
Phones
Roads
Building structures
Clothes
Weapons
Medicine
...the list is endless, feel free to edit and add yours.

They are fun and outgoing people though and of course, girls like them a lot but we have too much of extroverts on earth already, we need more introverts. We need people who value their private time, people who can think and put their thoughts into practice.

Goodluck with your 3rd class degree, but if I run a donut frying firm, I'm afraid i won't hire a 3rd class graduate to fry my donuts.

crossover:


I am compelled to reply you on your ignorable assumption with the likelihood that the OP may be facing serious psychosomatic tempest and may be seeking a way out. In the meantime, I can deduce from your comments that you are one of those egoistic fellows. In fact, your comments so far are nauseating. Whatever you may think you have as your grade is definitely personal to you. I could still remember a case of a lecturer from the Department of Geophysics or Geology, University of Lagos, Lagos with first class grade from the Department of Geology, University of Ibadan, Ibadan and post graduate Degrees from the best universities in UK. To cut a long story short, this specific man was brought forward somehow in early 90s by a student (with 3rd Class grade) he taught while lecturing in the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. In fact, he prostrated himself (on his belly) before his former student to show gratitude after securing a new job through him.
Fyi, so many factors can contribute to the performance of individuals. As an under graduate, I can tell of so many debauched things that my colleagues did to have better grades. Conversely, I can tell rudedough that, it is too early for him to think that he has the best route to self-satisfaction.

I don't sympathize with stu.pid people; i find this thread pretty offensive when i first read the headline on the front page before it was edited. It read and i quote "1st Class Graduates Are Working Under Me!" - 3rd Class Graduate". The OP wasn't looking for any way out, he was proud of his 3rd class tissue certificate (Pun intended).

If you have done your research very well, you’d notice that 2nd class graduates (Mostly Extroverts) are usually the best lecturers while 1st class graduates (Mostly Introverts) are not always good lecturers but very good in academic research.

I for example, after my MBChB, got an offer to lecture in Chemistry, i did that for 1 semester only but i couldn't keep up so i deferred; now i work at the Laboratory. What I’m trying to say is that people should learn to let go when they don't fit in. If you're not cut in for "BioChemistry" defer to a less complex faculty and safe yourself the embarrassment of graduating with a 3rd class degree.

From this thread, I’ve come to realize that Nigeria education system have been corrupted, but that doesn't mean that there are no hard working scholars in Nigeria Universities, because i know some hard working scholars who graduated with a 1st class degree in Nigeria Universities.

You talk about ego like ego is a bad habit. That perception is wrong, and a lot of people make that mistake. Ego is good for human development. Psychologically, egoism is viewed as human's motivation by rational self-interest. Achievers are often criticized for their ego, but it is the ego that drives people to achieve. So I encourage every scholar to be "hyper egoic" cos "egoism" is all you need to achieve academic excellence.

I don't know why your Geophysics lecturer needed another job but because a 3rd class graduate helped a 1st class lecturer doesn't mean that 3rd class graduates are going to help all 1st class lecturers in the future. That’s trying to console oneself after his/her failure.

Have a good day

lepasharon:

Watch your words.. third class is understandable for science degree programs cos they're harder..but yeah, its still not desirable...
