Yes i own my company, but lets not digress , my point was that you could still do a lot with a 3rd class if you have the drive and know what you really want to do. We lack a training and development culture in Nigeria and thats why we always lay emphasis on degrees and not practical experience. what good is a degree if you have no clue on what you are doing you're still going to get trained right?

You can work in barclays, halifax or any major high street bank and be a manager with just your GCSE,s and A-levels. Its unheard of here, unless your father owns the bank.

Theres more to life than having a degree, Sir Alan Sugar and Richard branson are highly respected in the world of business and neither of them have basic O-levels. Now are they respected because they lack degrees or they dont but yet accomplished a lot? either way they conduct their businesses better than most people in their industry.


The issue here is not if a person can be successful with or without a university degree. The issue is - is one right to desire academic intelligence in a partner?

I thought you said:

If she's smart but not academically brilliant, how was he to know that she poofed her grades? The moment he found out she wasn't his type - academically, he ended things. He has the rights to do that.

Was she hiding her results from him while they were dating. While I was in school, I used to calculate my G.P with my BF. We both knew what we were gonna graduate with before the statement of result came out. If he cared so much about her academics, he would have done the same.


If academic intelligence was important to him, then dont you think he should have tried his best to know what her grades were and tried to help in anyway he could?  Wont that always be the topic for discussion? How intelligent could she be to hide such a thing from him. How dumb is he not to know that how badly his girl is doing in her studies despite the witty concersations they engage in?
Re: Dumped Because She Had A 3rd Class by spikedcylinder: 12:44pm On Nov 13, 2009
Well, we don't know the specifics of the story. The OP said he was at her graduation which can mean that they were pretty close and he kept close tabs on her academics. . . .or not.
It might also be that he tried his best to remain in the relationship whilst she displayed every dumb blond characteristic known to man. He might have reached a breaking point.
Again, the specifics are not known but based on what has been said by the OP, the man can choose to be or not to be with an academic dullard!

@Topic:

It is becoming an epidemic and we should not be encouraging it.
Very soon we will have to consider many things before approaching a pretty girl in the open, cos most of them out there today are just pretty but empty upstairs!!

Like someone [walk] said earlier: Many of them can school u on the latest fashion and tricks to snare aristos but know absolutely nothing about their books - Surely that is not a way of life!

Yes, totally right!

I'm not saying he's wrong by doing what he did, I just think it's a bit silly!  undecided

Well just because someone is a 'Holy-Holy' dosent mean she's a first class student.

I was considered to be one of the party girls back in school but I managed to graduate with a 2.1 as opposed to the Hollier than thou's in my class back then. Maybe I would have made a first class if I tried harder undecided

Well, whatever . . my point is that you can still know your fashion and your books; and any responsible young girl knows that!

Re: Dumped Because She Had A 3rd Class by smooooooth: 1:23pm On Nov 13, 2009
making a third class does not mean having a low IQ. some schools are good are screwing up ur life. its possible this babe graduated from ecostat dept from the university of Benin. some of the bst brains will come out with a pass in that dept & sch, they have never had a first class. so u all dnt judge her.

op, back to ur question, i dnt think that was enough reason to dump the girl. the guy just needed an excuse and he picked on the dumbest. undecided

ure right! but what could be the factors that led to your woeful results in school?

u were partying rght? If Richard Branson had gone to school, he wouldnt have failed like u did; u feel me. Just kidding grin grin grin
i agree with ya, ur certficate doesnt marra in how you progress in life but it can be a debilitating factor in an unfriendly set up like Nigeria

maybe the dude did not want to face the future burden of being the sole provider in the family - its hard enough for 2'1 and 2'2 grads to get jobs - for 3'1 grads. . . God dey.

No2Atheism:

There is book smart and there is street smart . . .

The problem is which one do you want in your partner . . .


For me from experience i will rather prefer street smart as a partner to book smart because in marraige you will deal more with the former rather than later.

The guy knew that schoolng is over and now she will bombard him with marriage talk and the guy is scared.
The guy knows that now, she needs to get a job and scared that with 3rd class, might not be that easy.

Re: Dumped Because She Had A 3rd Class by Remii(m): 3:58am On Nov 14, 2009
The guy must have another reason, CGPA is calculated over years and should have known she would end up in 3rd class before now. Anyway, further education with 3rd Class should not be a problem, if you got there due to early years unseriousness and you went to school like OAU where every course in included and every year carry the same weight in CPGA calculation, you may end up in 3rd class even with lots of As and B+ in upper year. In that case it may not be a yardstick for the person's ability.

As a matter of fact, Wole Soyinka and Gani Fawehinmi made 3rd class in the University. Soyinka went to London to repeat his BA, the performance was so good that they gave him Prof without MA or PhD, Those who gave him 3rd class in UI did not get to where he got to today. We all know the history of the late SAM too, so it is not what has happened to you it is how you manage to use the leanring for your next step.
