I give this testimony to the glory of God and to the shame of the devil. At the end of my university education; through its ups and downs, bitter and sweet moments, I eventually graduated with a third-class degree in computer science. At that point in my life I was overly disappointed, highly discouraged and even suicidal on my bad days because I knew what was happening in the labour market. Every employer wanted graduates with second class upper and above for the limited and highly coveted employment slots. And here I was, I didn’t even have a 2.2, even if employers wanted to reach out in grace.

I had given my life to Christ on campus, and my thirst for God had intensified during this period. To the glory of God, even with my third-class degree, I did not sit at home as I got a job immediately, which is a whole miracle-story on its own. This job came with great exposure and an intense learning curve for me as a fresh graduate and I embraced the job even though the pay was not fantastic. Those of us who were taken by the company were put through a training programme to initiate us into Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing industry. Time went by and I emerged as one of the brightest trainees through the programme. We were soon staffed and placed on projects for multinational companies. After a while, some of my colleagues started filling out applications and searching for bigger opportunities. They would repeatedly forward job links and vacancies to me as I was considered one of the best among my peers. I did not apply for any of those positions as I was always self-defeated because of my third-class university certificate and the devil held it high up in my face all the time. I continued to do my job diligently and also develop myself in my field.

On Mother’s Day in May 2015, Pastor Nomthi preached about the unmerited grace and favour Moses witnessed in the house of Pharaoh, when there was an order to kill every male child of the Israelites. She said that Moses was not only spared but was raised as a prince. I immediately keyed into this lesson of grace and I was full of faith. I applied for a job someone had recommended me for and I was offered the position on the spot with 100 percent increase with good pension and sumptuous packages.

I thought I had seen all. Before the resumption date I was given, I was invited for another job interview with one of the telecom giants in Nigeria. Through the interview process I had to compete with the best of the best and even more experienced applicants. At the end of the interview and test process which lasted several weeks, I came out top as the preferred candidate of all. Now my problem became choosing between the two offers as they were both fantastic and had good prospects. I sought the face of the Lord who had made all these happen, and eventually I had to turn down the Multi-national Telecom Giant’s offer. Now I am at my new job and I have even been given opportunities to travel to different countries on projects (I had never travelled out of Nigeria before this job).

A month ago, another job offer came through with take-home package closing in on about half a million which I had to turn down after wide consultation and seeking the face of the Lord. I also did not apply for this job; all these opportunities came by recommendation. A third-class graduate now turning down job offers from multinational companies – it can only be God and I am here to give back ALL the praise to HIM alone.

That is what we call Grace... , Congrats bro

Nothing is impossible in life,congratulations.

Inspiring

a lot of meticulous employers actually prefer people with weak degrees, because they will be humble and do their work diligently with faithfulness because the employee may not have another chance if they misbehave but people with first class and 2.1 will always have this feeling of arrogance that if I leave I can get another offer because am a 2.1 or sometimes they will abruptly leave to further studies thereby taking along the knowledge they gathered on the job with them and leaving the employer with the pain of looking for another trainee.

I always say it and will continue saying it, "Nothing strengthens the faith of many Christians, myself inclusive, as testimonies."

People's testimonies literally tell me that those "beautiful stories" I read in the Bible aren't fictions.

May God be forever praised for Him alone deserves our praises.

Congrats, sir! Your story will be a source of inspiration to millions of people that will read it. And I pray it becomes a point of contact for their miracles! Amen!

This is really amazing, God bless you man...#EPIC

Luke 1:37

Your Grace has found me just as I am.


Diligence is key. Seeth though a man diligent in his work, he'll serve before kings and Queens not before mere men.

so what is ur point nw? every student shld come out with a 3rd class cus of wat u jst wrote there?? see, even if God grace will shower on you, you still have to put in ur best. arrogance and pride is an individual thing and shld nt be associated with degree aquisition.

You are destined to do this even if it was 1st class or 2.2 you have...

This is the hand of God in your life and also the fruit of your labour in God vineyard
