Stark22:Oga face the fact, your intelligent but not brilliant. Not everyone is brilliant. My dad was a First Class Product, he expected all his kids to attain same, but we all gat Second class lower except ma younger brow who is yet to finish, but he has 2,1 prospect. I spent 7yrs Uni Partly due to Strike and Switching of department but u wasnt dettered. Its not too late to change your departmemt and school if nexessary, because for this life na only u waka come. Failure or success, its only you that will carry your burden. See your parents, explain your predicaments to them, but i will advice you to discover yourself first of all, the sort of course you will like to read. Meanwhile am a graduate of estate management and valuation, but i dont reay like the course i read, i prefer, psychology, Law or Pol Sci. So am gona have to definitely read one of those in The Nearest future.. |

My friend, i will advise you to finish this program you're studying for now and strife, so that you can come out with at least a third class, cos as it is you can not make a 2.2. You didn't tell us the course you are studying, but whatever it is i believe you can still make yourself fall in love with it. Like most people have said, coming out with a third class is not a crime, what you can do out there once you finish is what matters. And also there are online courses and certificate programs to enhance yourself after your first degree. I made a research and i discovered that people that finished with a third class are not doing bad, after all. Most of the guys that finished with 3rd class during my time , years ago are doing very well now. They were even more prepared to face the world more than those of us that came out with better results. The funny thing is most of us would end up doing something else, contrary to what we read in school. There are a lot of guys that graduated as a lawyers, engineers, accountants etc that are not practicing what they studied but are doing very well in different areas. I will advise you to take it easy, make yourself happy, weigh your options, if you believe you can start afresh, go for it and if not honestly what you need is not only good grades to survive in the market world. The most important thing is you've gone through the four walls of schools. 1 Like |

Before you decide to take another jamb/utme. First look at what you did wrong If it was a case of getting un serious because of over confidence or just plain un seriousness you have to work on that. Lastly it could just be the course... |

Stark22: lol guy no start afresh o, u no happy say u dey sch do u knw hw crazy it is to get admitted into sch these days? Hmmm pipu will kill or die to be in your shoes right now. I understand your predicament but man sit up forget abt hating the course forget abt pressure from home: - Pray like craze person trust your problems to God not only will he help but it will boost your confidence knowing someone that mighty gat your back - guy read even if it will take all day no close that book until e enter ya head, you are almost thru with sch so time don pass to dey "take break if e no enter" stay der crack your head and force it inside - attend every and any tutorials on campus you'll be surprised what tutorials can do for your life - ask those guys you teach to tell you how they answer their questions in tests and exams who knows you may be giving weak answers or writing off point - project time, take your time to study your lecturers and their discipline and pick a topic under the easiest and kindest lecturer in your department I know of people who have skyrocketted from 2'2 to 2'1 because of their projects - guy you may have to give yourself an extra year, I know its demoralizing but if you focus you go meet your goal life no be race, you no go know where you go meet your mates tomorrow it pays to spend 10 years in sch and graduate with a 2'2 than to spend 4 years and graduate with a 3rd class or pass I wish you best of luck my guy cheer up life no hard like that 2 Likes |

Turn to God and seek Him diligently.. He knows your Heart, he cant be deceived.. Start reading your Bible and keep His commandments...Keep your Faith... Be hopeful... So if you pray n nothing happens.. search your self, there's prolly a sin you are still holding on to.... and read o, then leave the rest to Him..... You dont have to retake jamb.. you have someone up there willing to help if you ask.. and if you wanna retake jamb... Go ahead.. But put God first... |

Sorry bro, I feel your pain, would have wanted to be part of the first to comment, since am not, My answer is simple. There is [b]nothing like u not having interest in [/b]whatever u are doing, U need to surround yourself with people that would motivate u. Bro u can start afresh and dedicate time for your studies, U would be surprised how intelligent u are. Goodluck bro in the decisions u make.

Friend, what you need is God intervention. Most of the time, the grade level you come out of school with is not determined by ability but by forces outside our control. Just as the saying goes, the race or battle of life is not for the fastest or the strongest. You need to know and recognise the irrefutable fact the moment you become a student of higher learning that, ability alone cannot take you far, because there will be lots of unseen forces to contend with; however, the severity of this experience varies from student to student depending on parental backgrounds. I am telling you all this based on my own personal experience while in the University. I was undoubtedly a first class student who would start reading from the first day school resumed till the end of the semester. I was admitted on merit to read a course I desired. And I was determined to make the best grade. My friend, I came out with 2:2 despite all my efforts. I failed in my bid to secure the grade I worked for because I neglected "God factor". I believed I could do it by myself and I was wrong! Draw closer to God. Become genuinely involved with Him and His works. Let Matthew 6:33 becomes your motto and strives to live righteously. The devil will flee and your grade is sure to soar. Nothing is impossible with God. Also very important is your level of interest. Develop interest in your course and strive to improve you grade by conscious efforts backed by God. All the best. |

Justdulla: Well, Dad has never really asked because he believes it's still that boy that always excelled back then. So telling him will be a shocker. Everyone around seems to assume I'm one Smart lad that's perfect and I should be excellent no matter where I am. Even friends will be telling you you're meant to be doing another cos like computer science. Like you said, it's my cross. I appreciate |

eph12:Haven't read all..... but the advice eph12 has given you is right on point. If you are going down the wrong road.... would you prefer continue and hope you somehow reach your destination?.... or go back to point A and restart your journey? On outside pressure.... didn't that play a big part in getting you in this situation? When there are options.... there is no point in doing things you don't like... nor have an interest in... you become a slave. Go after what you have an interest in.... academics or skills and to be frank..... in this century.... having a skill is better than going after pure academics. Try finding out how many are roaming the streets with degrees let alone what you are fussing to achieve. |

jeffdaniel: Okay, it's Engineering. I do things hearing different voices in my head telling me I'm not meant to be in the department. Not that I don't like third class but I am really sad that I had to let it go this bad. Making myself happy as an introvert who revolves around solitude ain't easy. Finishing the programme when all interest has disappeared like 2 years back? Don't really know if that works for me. |

I was in the same situation back then I school. Knew I had the brain to grad with a very good result but family issues & a little distraction derailed my target & I graduated with a 3rd class. Mind you,I wasn't a dullard or a did but lecturers failing students on purpose for "runs" or "blocking" played its part as well. Took up a teaching job immediately after service & was paid a paltry sum (#20,000) which I made sure I saved half of it on monthly basis. My aggressive savings meant I was able to acquire some things for myself while I started a business (buying & selling) which I know I'm very good at with just #20,000 and in less than a year made over #200,000 profit thereby allowing me secure a moderate apartment and furnished as well. Right now,teaching at a much bigger school where the salary is far better than the 1st and I tell you I continued with my aggressive savings by joining the co-oprative society in the school and I tell you I rank among (1-10) highest savers in the cooperative and you know the reason for this mad savings,cos I don't see myself there for too long because of the desire to set up my own business. So my brother,its only human you feel bad for your situation, but its more important you pick up yourself & fashion out what to do outside school. Nobody says your destiny is tied to your certificate but what you can make out of a terrible situation. By December,I would have saved half a million naira from my teaching job and probably a little more b4 venturing into my personal business. My advise for you,look inward,determine your God given talent(s) and develop it. This will propel you to the top faster than what certificate can do cos I also had university friends who did "runs" but are no different from illiterates. The Lord is you strength brother and never forget Him in whatever decision you take 2 Likes |
