Academic Transcript- But Why?

men i tire for this country my case is even in nigeria sef i studied economics and had a 2;1 and so i decided to further at Ife and then for my school to send my transcript big wahala o!! wht will i do nw.

It took me 4, I repeat, 4 years to get my transcript from Nigeria, to attend graduate school. Try as hard as I could to explain to my mother that my transcript had not arrived from Nigeria, she did not believe me. So, for those who live in Nigeria and have to endure these trying times, think of your peers in America, who are relegated to menial jobs, with no hopes of transitioning into their career of their choice, because of the hurdles in getting their transcript. It can be so frustrating, seriously, that I wont be surprised if some Nigerians out here have resorted to travelling home, just to get their transcript.

How I was able to get mine was during my visit to Nigeria a while back. Few days after my arrival in my hometown, I landed at Uniuyo and requested for my transcript. The woman was quite reluctant to hand it to me, insisting that the officers would post it. I refused to budge. Went to the bursary department and paid 500 Naira for the transcript. When I came back with receipts to prove that I had paid for it, the secretaries were in the process of issuing out a new one for me, by typing it, when one of them told the workers that they should check the file drawer. Guess what? A display of worker's indolence could not have been more apt in this scenario when I saw, with their own presence, my transcript, lying idly in the drawer. I figured out that at least the transcript could have been there between a year to four years.

Immediately, I went back to the bursary office to get back my money, but who sai? The officer kept back 50 Naira, but I was only relieved that I got my transcript. An ordeal indeed!

No be unilag, members of staff in the records office of unilag are the laziest humans alive. it takes them forever to get your transcript ready.you'll be lucky to get it in 6months yet at the initial stage they tell you to come back after 1month i appliedsince march and till date noshow from the lazy assholes in that office,and to make matters worse my department's result in their office is, INCOMPLETE  .      UNILAG's records office is not computerised sef,  all i know is that if i miss my admission this september because of their ineptitude,something strong go happen oooooo. i'm dead  serious  ,  my sister if u can help yourself please do.afterall,no your way no be sin (engineering 1999-2005))

it is really a pity, things in Nigeria is alwayz the oppoiste/difficult. My cuzizn was denied admission abroad after admission was offered to him in condition of waiting for her transcript. He gave them a website to view his result as they wait for his school. Guess What? the online Wasce says C5, his school put C4 so the school said they were going to take what the school provided, now hez back in Naija to retake all these exams again to be abel to re-apply, na wahhhh

simply go to your school and sit on their heads until they give u the transcript by hand.
I got mine in less than 2 weeks.

i applied for my transcript in february so as 2 meet admission in sept.since i am based in abuja i went to lagos payed all d bills and left, thinkin in a month or so it will be sent.i asked my mum to follow up for me about a month later.i was shocked when she called me and said they had not done anytin.i had to start makin phone calls and lookin for people who could help me.it was realy stressful oh.it was my friends uncle that works in cash office that finally helped me.the transcript wasnt sent until july.
its seems like one needs to know someone before you can get anything done in this country oh.its realy sad.
