oyeludef: wat do u mean by dat. watin happen to lautech

addempsea: it is a sub standard school.

Jarus:

smh for someone that could speak English

ephi123:

Breathe in, breathe out, and then calm down. I don't understand the level of aggression you are demonstrating all over the thread (abi did a first class holder once vex you ni?) Life is too short to be getting this worked up by other people's affairs so chill abeg.

OP, do not get derailed or demoralized by whatever anyone here is saying. You have done your part, trust in God, have the right mindset, be positive and remain focused, you will certainly get there.

The only thing I didn't get in my statement was thought. And that's because my phone automatically spells. Number 2 writing in long words when typing it's a bit tedious. Hence I used short forms at times.. If u judge my spoken English wiv those spellings, u are just trying to be mischievous. Anyway, i don't owe u or anybody any explanation. If u are pained by my statements it's ur problem.

kibo:

It is simple, you keep on making the same mistake. First Class was never dished out to anyone. These folks worked hard for it and it is very wrong and inhumane to assert that their papers were given to them on a platter of gold because you dont agree or conform to their system.

May i remind you that the so called first class private university graduates in their numbers topped the recent federal government scholarship exam for first class students only.
NOW BEAT THAT !!!

You dont come up here and start destroying the efforts of people because you feel like or its your opinion. Be ready to backup your assertions with facts and figures !!!

coolbibz:

& the punctuations? lol, just calm down.

woodcook:

Bros you may need to take a second look at the highlighted.

awayeyebundle: My fellow commentator in Nairaland please know this that someone comes out with Pass in University does'nt mean that someone with 1.1 or 2.1 is more knowledgeable than him/her take for example someone that studies Applied Geology with Pass and someone that has 2.1 in Agric.Science are not the same,no matter how brilliant he/she maybe...so pls course are different,rigorous than each other and also some people cannot defend their result because of bribery issue in most of our higher institution....

Oga thank you. They asked my brother in breweries. Meanwhile who he knew was in the panel nd that one don tell am say make in no talk anything. Seplat nko! I have to many real life stories and I am pained. I have been to interviews too and I no what I have seen. 1st class for this country no sure cus they are many........
I remember my friend who finished wiv a third class and she cried hell when we were graduating. In my head I was always pitying her. Immediately we finished serving, My friend is working in................ oil company! she did no interview. She got to know the daughter of someone who is a top management staff in that company when she was in camp. Who u no helped her. This girl is not olodo contrary to what people think about third class people. She is so intelligent. Ask her anything and she would give u answers. Sometimes I think the course we study have a lot to do wiv our grades. Sometimes we are not where we are supposed to be. The teaching style of the lecturers. Etc. So many variables. In a normal country there shouldn't be discrimination. When you go for a test or interview everybody should be leveled. You would see how well this 3Rd class people will do. But not possible in Nigeria. Anyway me I don dey learn hand work....

SamSara01: I studied Banking and Finance, I just completed a professional course and I'm now a Chartered Banker and no I'm not frustrated. The class of degree I'm carrying as just not so far lived up to the hype students, lecturers and professionals alike have given it.

alentyno:
Check her profile pic you will understand why she is sounding so aggressive

Gorimakpa: My dear you are still in a relatively good situation. You have been in the labour market for only three months, which I do not consider long enough to provoke angst or despondency......

As incredible as it sounds, I intentionally did not make 1st Class because I already knew the implications in a country like Nigeria. It puts too much pressure on you and makes it more humiliating when things don't go your way after graduation. I easily made a 'strong 2.1' even with more than enough social life and extra-curricular activities. In spite of my 2.1, I have not been able to secure the sort of job I have always wanted, and I do not think it would have been any different if I made a 1st Class; probably would have been more humiliating and difficult to bear. Countless times I've done well in aptitude tests and interviews, only to later find out that some barely-literate dolts (with due respect) who can hardly string a decent sentence in English got the jobs through their connections and other back-door means. Sometimes when you interact with the characters that get employed in these great establishments (NCC, NNPC, NERC, Nigerian Breweries, etc), feelings of humiliation and sadness overwhelm you because you know that under normal and fair conditions, they are no match for you.

I happen to have a high standard in terms of employment, with a preference for government MDAs or multinational companies. All the small one-man company jobs or bank/marketing jobs that I have come across are just not my kind of thing, so for some time now I have opted for self-employment - earning a decent living by providing niche services with my own knowledge and skills. The income is not bad at all; certainly better than most of these small companies and even banks can pay entry level employees, with plenty freedom and flexibility for that matter. Sometimes I earn up to N100k for a week's work; other times I earn much less or nothing at all during dry spells, but it's all good. I am still looking out for my dream jobs - especially federal government jobs. Unfortunately, class of degree or even competence are rarely considered for these kinds of jobs. You can be a dullard with a pass degree for all they care, as long as you can get one senator or traditional ruler to intervene on your behalf, you will get the job. It's really sad, but there has to be a way somehow, one day.

laplace19:


My friend,it is possible for someone to make 2nd class upper intentionally....like in my own case.... harboured making first class while I was doing pre-degree in futo and made 5.0 CGPA,started my year1 and still make the stuff,but at a point(probably in my year2) I lost interest in this first class thing,but decided to make a strong 2.1 of which am still on now(4.xx).... Seriously, I have come to a stage that I don't fancy this first class stuff. As long as I have the brain why won't I get a job(upholding God's grace shaa)..... started solving GMAT in my year1 and am currently doing my IT in ph and equipping myself with few softwares in civil engineering like Revit Architecture, AutoCad...and will go for Staadpro if I find someone to teach me.... If I know these softwares why won't I find a job in a construction firm or be self-employed....

And if you crave to know how I do it without falling below 4.xx CGPA you can as well ask me.... I will simply tell you... it's so easy if your brain is that strong...
