Nigeria as a nation is back Ward today is because of over depended on certification, triber and religious beliefs. it pain me whenever I read such thing like this. how can a professional employer ignoring a potential, skillful and technical applicant, all he or she went for is a mere certificate, the name of school you graduate from, your religious background and your tribe before you can be employed forgetting your contribution to the growth of The company. honestly Nigeria can not be great in this manner. 2 Likes |

Cognitivereason: There are companies also using the JAMB admission cut-off mark to screen off candidates or graduates who attended Universities with very low low low academic standards. imagine one Yobe University who admit JAMB candidates with cut-off marks of 140/150 geting into government and private companies in Lagos where the cut-off marks are between 250 - 300 1 Like |

Not really. Be valuable (add value to yourself and be outstanding in your pursuit of excellence in your chosen field) and it won’t matter which school you attended. A good course is better than a good school if you are able to bring good value to the table based on your qualifications. A good school can only become more important when you are mediocre.

What matters is what you have upstairs. How much you know and can defend the course you read. Just as job opportunities is reducing likewise employers going for quality graduates. Luck and prayer should be number two in what you re offering on the table. Quality and defendable results should top your list.....these will sell you in the international market. 1 Like |

I disagree with u sir. If you cant meet up with the prerequisites stipulated by employer regardless of ur school then you are out. 2.1 is 2.1 everywhere.A graduate with 2.1 from gombe state university and 3rd class from OAU or UI. 2.1 will be called for aptitude test while 3rd class will not. All 2.1 will have the aptitude test or interview, now depend on how u proof urself. BOOOMNAIJA: 8 Likes 1 Share |

One thing you should know is that medical courses are not Being discriminated. even if you study the pharmacy in a polytechnic, most employers don't care as long as u have the license and you're good upstairs. But for other courses, I can agree with u. But not pharmacy. 2 Likes 1 Share |

If the competition for a job is too stiff, the employer may decide to use your university or qualification as a criteria. for example, when my elder brother finished his program in OAU(obafemi awolowo uni), an opportunity presents itself and he applied. he said almost 1000 graduates applied for the job. The employer conducted an exam for them and only 200 of them passed the exam. a month after, the qualified applicants(200) went for second test. On getting to the venue, the employer just told them this: if you're finished from state universities or you have anything less than 2.1, pls go home. At this point, the applicants remained 52 as i was told by my brother. They then conducted another exam for the remaining 52 applicants, of which only 2 of them were employed. My brother and a lady. 3 Likes 1 Share |

So you expect the employer to drop candidate from Gombe state uni even if he performed better than the guy from UI? Obviously some of you need to travel out of your myopic minds to acquire knowledge and stop this severe display of ignorance. You will be shocked at what is obtainable is some of this northern universities. Equipped ur self and stop trying to clinch on 'BIG' name(s) mst of which are existing on pass glory.

ednut1: True. All good though, they run their company. While I'm not surprised about this(since those schools serve as a filter for these firms in recruiting in ways the bank is biased towards), it probably serves to prove a point I have observed: which is that, racism , while a terrible vice, is a scapegoat and all other forms of vices(classism, Ageism, lookism, tribalism,etc.) in the Prejudice family continue almost unnoticed. The very HR/Top executive perpetuating such recruitment practices (who I'd assume is Nigerian) could find herself/himself abroad tomorrow in the US/Europe perhaps complaining about a prejudiced treatment meted out on him/her by those citizens— Forgetting about how he /she perpetuated discrimination back here. Many Nigerians/Africans may never suffer racism in their lifetimes (especially because they would never leave the continent) but they'll suffer other prejudices in many ways back here.

Fundamentalist:it's not true, no matter how you present yourself, the school you attended can bring down your rate. that's just the Nigeria mentality, why do you think people run to Europe to study, despite that some schools in Europe can't be compared with "university of Ibadan" there's one in Belgium that their citizens mocks, but the moment a Nigerian graduated with 3rd class from such low rated University and comes back to Nigeria, automatically he supercedes a first class student in UI. if you said you graduated from unilag, in their minds they'll always rate you higher than someone that graduated from "Nigerian international Atlantic something something university" that's just the fact, no matter how you present yourself so i advise people to go for notable universities, e get why |

JohnSin97: That you grew up in the south and that's all you know doesn't' mean that's all there is. What are your indices? That I attended any of these schools doesn't make me sharper. By your "standards" then schools like ABU, Zaria, University of Jos should be on this list but it doesn't work that way. What you know and how you present yourself is what puts you ahead. Even the Zenith Bank CEO graduated from Auchi Poly but obviously put in the work and has a lot of people from your OAU, UNN, UniBen, Unilag, FUTO, FUTA, UI, Covenant, UniIlorin, Babcock and Yabatech working for him. |

ednut1: If it's a bank, I suspect it's an Image / deposit marketing strategy. Generally, such "posh" kids would be more predisposed to attract deposits. Good for them though. Almost all humans are biased even the ones complaining about this approach. God help us. |

There is no greater reality than what you have been told. Unless you are desperate to put the blame on someone or something else other than yourself. Corporate organisations are looking for problem solvers not passengers. "No vacancy" is really directed at common skills and the holders of such. Creative and innovative persons are sought after. It's not uncommon that a company is not even aware of what it is lacking until someone with the right skill sets comes along. Federal Republic of Egypt didn't know it needed a prime minister until a slave called Joseph showed up. So I repeat those words of wisdom, "know your onions'. Fundamentalist: 1 Like 1 Share |

Those of you that have never been to the north are getting it wrong. Many lecturers in the Northern Universities are as good as those in the south. Some northern universities even have better facilities e.g ABU Zaria, Usman Danfidio Sokoto, UNIMAID among others |
