mechanics: ok, av heard u, but am nt disputing dat fact, atleast dey shud give room 4 all, so indirectly ar d companies trying to say dat weak 2.1 ar nt relevant, cos to me even a 2.2 student can perform beta dan a first class n dis days were students bribe lecturers in kind n cash, God dey. For the fact that I came out with a 2.2 doesn't make me a dull person. Most of these companies place these requirements at the entry stage. As an experienced hire, it won't be about 2.1 or 2.2 but what you've added to you skill set, your competency, capabilities and capacity. |

Samcathe: It is in this part of the world that we celebrate certificate rather than inventions.You have a point and I got it. But does it mean male that got a first class or good 2'1 slept with all the female lecturers? When you have a grade and you can't defend, then you are still learning in process and there is assurance that one day, you will get it. But how worst it is for you to spend all the years in the university, yet nobody is giving you the opportunity to defend it or even a chance to prove yourself because of the low grade, especially when your parent are not wealthy type that can connect you or give money to do business. What I am saying in essence is that, if you want to work in a good place and you don't have enough connection, your grade makes you get the attention first before proving your personality. Without that, no chance to prove yourself because graduates with even good grade are too many to screen, not to talk of considering other. Your result out of schools has lot of pictures to portray about your school like, even if it is fake, but that's the reality today. Assuming I am your father with good grade from university, and you as my child gets a third class from the university. Later, somebody (a friend of yours) told me you didn't serious while you were in school, attending all parties, not attending lectures and the likes. Please tell me why I shouldn't believe that person? Simply because your result/grade attest to that, so I will believe... THE RESULT/GRADE SHALL JUSTIFY THE MEANS... The world is watching you!!! Be wise in all your dealings and get the best for yourself first at each stage, because one good step leads to another good step and like that. 1 Like |

Contumely:donn't mind that guy... I think his metality is low... If someone with a third class is managing a company and it doing well, a first class or second class upper might make it do better... " You said hos fathers company baa" the father might as well employ those with good brains and good grades to assist him... Please think before you commet... |

butanep: No lady that sleep with all lecturer will graduate with a first class... The university know who is who... They re nt so stupid. They also ve image to protect.... The highest she will be given is a second classThank you very much joor. I don't know why the mind of some are dirty like that, thinking any girl with good grade must have slept with her lecturers. In fact, majority of ladies with first class, if you know them in school, they are not the one that show anyhow. Will be gentle, even in most cases not attractive to behold while in school. I know one girl like when I was in my first year, she was in final year, we did night class together sometimes. The girl is not attractive, to me at all and she finished with good First Class in Physics and Electronics, despite all hurdles in my school, come and see this girl during convocation, so beautiful to behold and desire. Therefore, I don't think there is better excuse for failure as nothing is new again under the heaven and no one is born to fail... IT IS MATTER OF CHOICE AND YOU WORK TOWARDS YOUR DESIRE! There is always a solution to every problem. It is left for us to discover it. |

butanep: as a 2.2, nobody said you are dull, but at the same time you re not intelligent... as a 2.1 doesnt mean you are more intelligent than ur 2.2 counterparts. it means you probably work harder than them. some 2.2 graduate if would work hard the way you do, they would beat u at any exam and test. 1 Like |

I like you argument cos u really take enuf time to prove ur point. By the grace of God, I enjoy what it takes to be a distinction student in my days in school but what I av come to realise is that it doesnt stop there., there is life after campus. You can bribe your way out to have the grades you want but the law of seed time and harvest says, while this earth remains, harvest will not seize. As a matter of fact, if all you desire in life is to have a certificate and work for someone, you are living an average life. Someone might be brilliant and not intelligent. You have only display your brilliancy when you are thought and you are able to put something down to have a good grade. Its your intellect(ability to think alone) that is needed when you get to the outside world. Whats what doing is what well, if you have the ability to have the best grade, do all you can to get it and if you had tried all ur best n it seems it does not look like, move on, thats not the determinant of your destiny Joy83: |

Elevation: 3.5/5 × 100=70% this shows you've been working hard,it's a good sign when u are employed u'll be serious with things placed in your care,however there is what we call probation period if you actually don't perform according to your academic prowess,u knw the rest.Furthermore pls get a REQUIRED SKILL that can improve the state of a firm,then u'll be appreciated the more. A (2.2 or third class) grad. will definitely be considered if he/she is specially skilled,for the undergees still in the varsity pls STUDY HARD.Specially skilled like what? |

cocoduck:That's ur opinion mr. To me, i see entrepreneurial ability as a talent nd sth one should have a passion for. Not everyone has this talent nd passion. I see it as football nd other sports in which not everybody can play. See how u sounded like its a piece of cake. Apply common sense nd humility my ass. If applying common sense nd humility is d key to making it in entrepreneurship, every tom, dick nd harry would have been a successful business mogul today. Don't preach what u don't know. |

Re: Why You Must Finish With At Least A 2.1 by sk8erBoy: 3:27pm On Sep 15, 2014 |
sk8erBoy: Right. I will begin by saying hard work pays no matter the sphere of life. It pays to have good grades in School - it simply opens a world of opportunities. Luck is when opportunity meets preparedness. Which means you can have good grades but if you are not prepared for the job market you might search for a while. I know people who made first class and got ovearseas scholarships and jobs immediately they finished school and I also know first class graduands who are still job searching.A number of genuine folks have gotten back to me. Keep it coming. Happy to help. |

Chrixtopha: well said 2.1 is a criteria for success after graduation but how is your lecturers treating u, go to a federal University or state higher institution and see whether making 2.1 or first class is easy...am a living witness, fighting very hard to fit in but after each semester u find out that it's obvious that after giving those that paid for Az , A.....others should go to hell with Bs and Cs....... I know what am passing through so don't say what u do not know after graduating from a private University where high school fees buys d certificate... only God knows the best..you are talking nonsense. You mean people that make A's sort to get it. Lecturers don't even usually give students that sort an A, neither do departments give mediocre students s 1st class. |
Re: Why You Must Finish With At Least A 2.1 by Contumely: 6:52pm On Sep 24, 2014 |
mykelon: STRONG 2.1! What d hell is a "strong 2.1"? U don't hear a 1st class saying he/she had a strong 1st class. A saying goes what is what doing is what doing well people. Saying u had a strong 2.1 is just a compensation for not getting that 1st class. Yes I also finished with d same stronger 2.1 even stronger 2.1 from OAU. Set out ur goal b4 getting into d university & u ll make it by God's grace. "Strong 2.1" I laugh!!! Bless uNo a degree can be strong or weak. If you make a certain 2.2 Cgpa, you cannot do your masters without PGD, simply because you made a weak 2.2. So a person that made a 4.46 or so might put it in cv , it might give him an edge over 3 pointer 2.1s. |
