I do not agree with the OP. Almost ALL schools in naija, I repeat almost ALL schools in naija, they have different slots for the registrar, profs, HODs,Dean etc yearly. If you are opportuned to know any of these people, whether you choose the school as first choice, your jamb score becomes immaterial. But do not forget that there are registrars, and there are registrars, so also, there are profs and there are profs, sames goes for the HODs, dean etc, meaning all profs are not the same oo. Remember, who no go no know! Going to a fed uni doesn't mean you are more brilliant than people that go to the state uni.Going to a private uni doesn't mean you are more brighter than those in the poly, it all depends on opportunity, luck, circumstances, timing, connections and other factors.

The issue of 3rd class or 2.2 could be as a result of many many factors too that played in , or took place while in the uni.Imagine some intelligent students that were on their way to get 2.1 and had a saddist lecturer who a 3rd class in his first degree as a project supervisor.If the lecturer give the student say D in project that could bring the student to a 2.2 considering that project is a 6units stuff, all other grades in other courses being k, constant. Also many 2.2 were people that had say 3.40 to 3.49. , knowing fully well that 3.5 and above is 2.1.

I may not be able to speak for the private uni, because, I am even shocked with way the roll out ist class in those private uni like , they just dash them for their high cost of schooling, tuition fees, accommodation, etc, etc.However, some students from private uni merit their ist class too.Do not get me wrong here.

But coming to the fed or state universities, wow, you must jack wella to get most grades you are given, or you earn like some
lecturers put it. Many lecturers in Naija uni are not ready to just give you grade like that, it is not everyone that you bribe, if you think you can always bribe, as a woman you cannot sleep with all your lecturers, so might be women like you too, so what do you do ?Except if you are exceptionally good. Some will tell you how they suffered in their own days before they got educated and even try to unjustly suffer the students in turn, as for the female students, that one na different thing altogether, they want you to sort, book hotel rooms to sleep with you and they MAYstill fail you at the end. Married women or those wearing ring on their fingers to deceive the lecturers that they are married are not exempted.

Here are some factors that could lead to someone graduating with a poor grade in the uni:
*Self financing, some people sponsor themselves to school, the time of hussling can affect their studies, they may miss some vital quiz, tests, assignments even exams in some cases.
*Studing a wrong course, this make the student to just struggle and be dying in silence and eventually graduate with a poor grade.
*Having extra year in school, automatically, your GP will go down.
*Too much play, some guys go to uni and flex all their time in parties, women, fashion , dragging babes with fellow students /lecturers.
*Sudden death of parents, spouse/sponsor: This could give a big blow to the student emotionally and affect the concentration academically.
*Carry overs:once you start having carry overs from 100L, there are chances that you will not graduate with a very good grade.
*Low grades: If you keep having btw C and E in most cases, , especially the three units courses, OYO is your case, is you are still dreaming of first class or 2.1
*Lack of reading/research: For instance, when you are studing, you not going the extral mile to read up other materials for the course, no textbook, no internet research, but you are always on fb, nl, badoo, etc, hmmm, no references in your assignments, wahala go dey o
*Bad friends /company can easily lead you to fail. Or even lure you to join cult.
*Family issues: Yes, some people are the only graduate or the first graduate in their family, if you are in this category, better be close to God, as sone people in the family that do not have the opportunity you have may attack you with Afican magic.
*Sickness:It is not everyone that is blessed with good health, AA, O+, etc. Some people have serious health challenges, so it could also affect their academic performance too.
*Cheating: some that are caught for cheating automatically fail the course, but they will hide the truth from their friends and family.
*Lack of Prayers: Prayer can help you, for instance if you have a very difficult lecturer, just ask God to touch his or her heart , so you can be favoured by the lecturer. Then, you will be shocked that it will happen.
In all, first class, 2.1, 2.2, 3rd class etc is NOT the end of life. It is only a means to move in life, so whatever you have kindly go to a govt uni , back for a master degree or PGD .It is just a stage, just like when waec was waec before Neco came, a lot of people dread waec more than anything then, but today, some have gotten their PHD.To God almighty be the Glory. Forgive my lengthy stuff, but I believe someone has been learn something in it too.

We can't rule out the possiblity of this but it's very low compared to the state unis where it's a normal practice.
Who dares Adedibu's recommendation for admission when he was alive? The reason why many get 2.2 or pass is simply because these so called federal schools lay some useless criterias for gaining admission e.g. Excellent grades in O level... Isnt that possible for the dullest in Nigeria?

LARRYDKING:

nope, i didn't say so, i only said since the criteria for admitting into fed unis is very tough, i expect most to graduate with first class and 2.1 even if the ones in the state schs can't graduate with high CGPA due to their various 'mago mago' way of entry.

Since admission to federal universities is tough, you can expect their examination and marking processes to be also tougher than those of state and private universities. Overcrowded lecture rooms and hostels (due to the cheaper school fees) also stress the students. I am speaking from experience.

Each school has its own standard and consequently its own best and last students. How can everybody have First Class and 2'1 in ANY sane school, unless the lecturers take bribes?

adeoladrg: Op you're very wrong!

I was a unilag diploma student some years back. Diploma cutoff for pharmacy was 116. I scored 120. A girl who scored 95 got her admission letter before me. I was shocked! I later learnt the VC had his own list, registrar had her own, even the Oba of Lagos had his own, so it depends on who you know.. People who didn't even know these people found some other ways to 'leg' their ways through..

My brother, except you want to deceive urself, it's a normal Nigerian syndrome.

@OmolodMilkman93 Thanks bro.. My diary is down. I'll open a new one soon.
Diploma programme is run by the school itself, its abt who you know and how much u have, or how smart you are . When you are talking about UME candidates, Unilag's admission is always based on merit
Re: Third Class And 2.2 In Our Federal Universities. by joeldy26: 8:36am On Aug 28, 2014
MisterLongman: There is this popular notion that lecturers fail their because they don't want them to reach their level... That's why you hear in some schools that a department has never produced a first class or even 2nd class upper student and the department is proud of the status quo..... I don't know if its true or not tho

don't you also think that when so many people sabi book, the marking scheme increases.
And lecturers start even marking spellings.

Does it mean that private university students (where we have most people graduating with first class and second class upper) are more intellingent than federal and state university students ?

These are the questions you should also ask yourself
.


Dude.....the day you take a glance at a private university result slip is when your mindset will change......When you see 400L students wey still dey carry 100L course ...Abi when you see Cgpa's like 0.25....Baba forget that thing...Most Private Uni students dn't graduate with 1st class or 2.1, Atleast not in Run.

I may not be able to speak for the private uni, because, I am even shocked with way the roll out ist class in those private uni like , they just dash them for their high cost of schooling, tuition fees, accommodation, etc, etc.However, some students from private uni merit their ist class too.Do not get me wrong here.

--- What is there to be shocked about? These private unis have lecturers who do their jobs without embarking on frequent strikes, they are well remunerated and ultimately they give the students the marks they actually get. Also, students attend classes as attendance is a prerequisite for taking exams, students also have limited distractions etc.

To add, I'm sure you must have heard of the PRESSID, its open to all first class graduates in Nigeria. It might interest you to know that a certain Private uni always has the highest number of selected candidates for the scholarship. Mind you, This scholarship is a federal govt initiative.

Are you still surprised?
