So yeserday, a total of 157 students of the Covenant University, Ota, Ogun, on Friday bagged First Class degrees at its 2015/2016 convocation.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Charles Ayo, disclosed this during the 11th Convocation Ceremony and Conferment of Honourary Doctorate Degrees, and presentation of prizes in Ota. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a total of 1495 students graduated this academic session. They comprised 157 first class honours, 708-second class upper honours, 513-second class lower, 118 in third class and 154 post graduate students.
Just before the end of the ceremony in the University chapel, a mother of one of the graduands, stormed out of the hall with some other women trying to pacify her.
An eye witness at the scene sent in this report thus:- “She was very angry, the other women were trying to pacify her. She was saying ”Upon all the money we spent, all he could finish with was a 2:1, he must not return to the house. I am taking back all the food i brought, imagine, he was supposed to finish with a first class. Those ones that finished with first class, do they have two heads? He must not return home o, he should better just go and eat that result, imagine, all the money we spent from when he started in this school…” the other women tried pacifying her and led her away to avoid a scene as onlookers were already gathering to know what was going on. “

I guess she thought her money would give him the the first class.

You see....first class has become an object of ridicule because of our glorified High Schools. Pathetic!

That's what happens when you put too much expectation on your children.

does it mean one would fail when everyone hopes he'd be better?

I said "when you put TOO MUCH expectation on your children"

118 graduated with a 3rd class
She should be happy 2:1 isn't bad afterall

so 2.1 is not okay?that shows how easy high grades is in these private schools

This first class thing is not a do or die affair



After all there are tons of first class graduates out there still sweeping the streets with their feet in search of work.
