You are trying hard to sound intelligent but I can tell you have very little mental acuity.

Your reasoning is shallow and your thought processes highly underdeveloped.

If you do not know that academic qualification/intelligence is only but one out of the many types of intelligence reposed in humans then you're a lost cause.

I am a 3 pointer. A grade I am not even comfortable with. WHAT about you?

Well detailed and analyzed comment.

How many times will you be told that Dino has gone on to graduate with a masters degree ..OP I must say you are a very shallow thinker and it's people like you that must be prevented for holding govt office ...

iambijo:
what makes a good leader is 1.confidence 2.great ideas 3. Personality. talking bout developed countries leaders with poor grades, united states of america president nixon, bush jr. And joe biden have embrassing high institutions results

FreeSpirited:
A stupid question from a shallow mind....... And you expect me to answer

EVarn:
Though I understand the rationale behind OP's idea..however,I think that such a law would be quite too extreme.
There are bound to be a number of people out there who graduated with a 3rd class or pass,but possess sharp intellect in specific areas.The university system itself is frankly not helping matters; some people cannot just do "la cram,la pour",but the way some courses are taught in Nigeria requires a student to be able to cram as much as he/she can.
In Universities like Unilorin,you can stay on the queue for 5-7 hours under the scorching sun just to write your CBT exam!,under such conditions,you get too tired to even care about the exam questions when you finally get into the hall,you just want to do your exam and get out as fast as possible to get rest.
There are even cases of missing results and disproportionate awarding of marks.
By and large,these arent excuses to justify failure,but it cant be omitted.
What Nigeria needs is a working system,only then will the unserious ones be weeded out.

I know 3rd class graduates that make in a week what many bank managers earn in a month.


That over feed baby elephant called Davido graduated with second class upper yet he acts and reasons like a canteen prefect in umukolo community development high school

FemiEddy:
its a big plus but I tell u.......its not a necessity as u guys take it

Kondomatic:
And people with 3rd class cannot do that? Same as good result

Joythah:
OP Let me help you... Only first class holders should be recognized in life. They should be the only ones allowed to marry each other so we can have intelligent children who won't write the drivel you just comfortably wrote.

Kondomatic:
I need your father's address lemme talk to him.

SalamRushdie:


Your assertions that anybody that finishes with a third class is not mentally sound is very poorly thought out ,there are many reasons apart from intellectual deficit that might make a person finish with a lower degree than others ..In the course of life I have worked with many people that finshed with lower degrees that were actually a lot more proactive and smarter than those that finshed with higher class of degrees which is one of the reasons dropouts and so called third Class people tend to do better in life than those that finish with better degree. They tend to become creators, pathfinders , innovators and game changers while those who finish with higher degrees achieve very little after getting a good job because they are quick to feel entitled that the world owes them alot just because they made higher grades at some school and truly the world owes them nothing but a Job and nothing else .

Going by you premise people like Tony Elumelu, Gani Fawehini, Ulysses Grant , Jack Ma and many other trail blazers who the school system considered dull should have been thrown away and left to waste... Your Certificate is only there for you to compete in the work place and that's why people like Dino are Senators today while their course mates are still grinding it out in one Bank or the other. Examinations have never been a true test of the capacity of any being

Kondomatic:
A very dumb question.

Some companies employ "brain" not school cert. Some 3rd class holders have some managerial qualities that many people that graduated with first class do not posses. These are people that move the world not those that put all their hopes on their CV.

I am not promoting dumbness but you should know that there are smart people that ended up with 3rd class due to unforeseen circumstances.

Their cert do not define them

Kondomatic:
First class my aging ass.

Everyone else has shallow mind except you yet you can't show how you're better than them.

I am not interested in your answer because it doesn't exist, I only wanted to know why you are so convinced that you're better than 3rd class graduates but unfortunately you're not different.

Education gives us knowledge but knowledge with wisdom is useful as a hedgehog in a condom factory.

Why do employers interview job seekers after seeing everything about them in their CV?

To know if they have something upstairs, so my dear first class, don't judge a book by its cover, get close to people to find out the reason behind their poor result before judging them. Things happen and I am sure that there are many 3rd class degree holders and school dropouts that have better leadership skills and managerial qualities than you and your certificate x 10.

These people are the ones that move the world.

Bizibi:
the two are fast developing nations not third.......the former President of Brazil did a good job even better than the woman that was impeached.
You guys love certificates in this country or maybe some of you here are still in sch,it is way different in reality.......
