Well! To me, I think first class is actually meant 4 d lazy students, reason being dat most of them don't venture into entreprenueral activities. I don't know y sum1 would work extremely hard 4 5 or 4 years in d university, graduates with a first class and then settle 4 jobs of 150thousand naira. And to top it all up! D owners of dis company and Organisations they work 4 were eventually founded by mostly dropouts,2.2 graduates and the ones dat neva attended a university. I use to av that mentality b4 I gained addmission into OAU dat I was gonna leave with a first class, but as time went by; I discovered a lot of tnz dat has helped shaped my thinking. 4 example; I discovered that Nigeria habours upto 30 to 40million unemployed youths and dis is equivalent to the total population of d Scandinavian countries( Iceland,Finland,Norway,Sweeden and Denmark) if not more than. The Federal Govt can't even provide jobs 4 50thousand youths, and d ones dat even get d jobs get it via slots,proxies and connection so wat then is d hope of a so-called first class graduates. They r just liabilties unto d Nation. Nigeria is an underdeveloping country where a youth can get rich overnight not 2ru stealing but by running some profitable buisness ventures. Take a look at d Nigerian billionaires and d world billionaires at large and u would discover dat only a percent of them all attended a university and even d ones dat successfully graduated did with 2.1's and 2.2's. Want to talk'bout d likes of Dangote,Okoya.innosen,Folorunsho Alakija,Jimoh Ibrahim and Mike Adenuga all of which r Nigerians. Wat'bout d likes of Bill Gates,Carlos slim Helu,steeve Jobs,Mark Zuckaberg,Opra Winffrey,rockafella,rotschild etc.... And 4 Nigerians living in Lagos state, u might av discovered that to live in Lagos in d nearest future will require a large war chest. Is it in lekki dat u wanna live in, u should be prepared to pay a whooping 2.5millionaire per annum upwards just to get an apartment, and if u decided to purchase a property there, then u should be ready to dish out huge sums of money ranging 4rm 200million naira upwards( go and ask d likes of Davido and Tu baba), and if u decide to move ur family to Banana Island, them u must be joking... Nigeria is an industrious country full of entreprenuers. D basic thing is u just need is ur educational degree be it Hnd,Ond,Nd,Bsc or BA. Just get d stuff and start ur life as an entreprenuer. It might be very murky in da beggining but in d end, it's gonna be worth d while and d stress. As 4 me, I av decide to venture into Agriculture once am done with d university and there's no looking back cos I one to add my quota to d economy and reduce d stress of d Fed.Govt by being an employer of labour and not an employee so that in d nearest future , I shall be remembered for my unrivaled contribution to the economy and lives of d Nigwrian citizens and not as a First class graduate. And don't even think of insulting me,'cos I'm currently a student of d best university in Nigeria(O.A.U), studying one of d best courses(English Language) and I'm on a very strong 2.1 at d moment(4.27)....

You guys forgot to include NATURAL BRILLIANCE..
Natural brilliance gives you advantage over other students because you get to assimilate faster and easier than the average brilliant ones..
That's the reason why we see lotta people with these attitude/discipline the op listed and still graduated with a 2.2..
Everyone has his/her maximum point ℓ.ε̲̣̣̣̥ we A̶̲̥̅̊ℓℓ Havε the maximum stuff our brains could assimilate!
Ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇o you read 24hrs a day doesn't guarantee you 1st class but would at least get you a 2.1!

I partially disagree with you. We all have the same brain(cerebrum,cerebellum,medulla oblongata). The only difference is how one chooses to develop his or her own. No one really has a dull brain. One can choose to be brilliant if he chooses to.
