Hmmm!!!
1) Lecturers are no longer serious. They dont impact knowledge. They dont even have the knowledge to impact. Students dont put efforts into personal studying.
2) Students say no be who read know book, na who pass. So, they try to work their way up from their 'pass' brain to 3rd class or 2.2
3) Lecturers say 1 n 2.1 belong to them, so they ensure students dont get good grades. Wetin person no go see for Naija.
4) Students say 2.2 is okay. So they intentionally work towards it
5) The atmosphere isn't conducive. This is the reason we do better when we school in other countries
6) The list is endless
My elder bro contested one of his results and the lecturer made sure he ended up without a 1st class but a 2.1.
My kid bro had a 1st class but not without a big fight.
I'm sure ur observation has always been, not new. Although it's not the fault of some that they came out 2.2 n below

Thank you so much for the analysis. About Nigerians doing well abroad hmm not all oh some still dey switch from engineering to business and graduate with bsc linguistics lol. It is well sha. Thanks Crich

I have some experience too...That will be long tin if I say.
I know what I'm saying....
I give my first class colleagues work to do....and I graduated with a 2.2

A close fam finished in d UK for masters over a year now and still has notin doing in this country..

My close friend ws d best grad stdnt in my sch wen I graduated....now I'm sure the money given to him has finished..


Please my sister...By mistake...just be the best graduating student in ottawa or alberta....and c

Crich:

I dont completely agree. What applied in his days still apply now.
If u have good grades esp a 1st class, n actually know your onion, d sky is ur limit. I speak from my family's experience. I still know kids who finished say 2/3yrs ago with good grades n work in very good places without any 'influence'.
This mentality of no motivation is what students already have before they even get into school. Very wrong mentality. I would have shared some experiences on this forum but it would be a very long story. Kids should always strive to be tops regardless of the 'no motivation' factor, and see where it gets them.

Seriously, I support mevisbleek, a lot of we (Nigerians) are actually lazy nd very few are determined for the top without shortcuts. Probably, the corrupted state of the nation has pierced into everyone's heart and people think, they can always have a way round things. But DETERMINATION is stronger than any FORCE... my 2 per cent

My brother, all the first class kids from my graduating class are all kicking it in naija oh. Well, I know say Nigeria hard sha. The last girl I even know just finished her MBA from John Hopkins University and is now working at IBM in the dreaded Nigeria lol. It is well. I'm so sorry for deviating from the main purpose of this forum.

My sister which year you graduate...

When u say kciking it...hope u don't mean a 150k per month job....

All in all...I'm not generalising but when it comes to statistics...you'll have more people finding it hard even after a very good grade...whicch in summary kills the motivation required to graduate with a good grade.

For sure it's well over 300k na. When u come to Canada, how much do u even think u can make as a fresh graduate? U go surprise say the exalted canada go give u $2500 abi 3k after tax = 400 abi 450k. Well brother forget been focused in school pays whether lecturer kill ur morale or not. My own lecturer demoralize me as well na.

Gods1son:

@kennykentipsy... Did u get a call for further test, that means something went wrong somewhere with ur medicals o

kennykentipsy:


which clinic did you do your test ?
did the clinic call u back for further test ?

Did upfront at Q-life
No they didn't call me back
I called them to make sure they have uploaded my file as cic has been reviewing it for 3weeks now. I want to be sure it's there for review (and not that VO is waiting for the file from the clinic) cos this online application platform can get tricky sometimes with their updates and the meaning.
Anyways didn't get much help from them except the standard "all reports have been uploaded only one pending is the one we conducted yesterday" the lady didn't even flinch had to ask her if she was saying it off her head or if she even checked her system cos she refused to even take my REF NO

VO we dey wait ooo

Personally, I think the online route might be experiencing some itches from the complaints of peeps here regarding the website errorrs and complains about some peeps medicals not updated yet..

Hopefully they should respond to these immediately and dish out TRVS quickly.

Thanks for this info/links.
Please HOUSE, I want to apply for my friend. Kindly advise on appropriate options, they are novice as far as Canada study application is concern.
Applicant1: Studied Bsc. PHYSIOLOGY 2:2 Grade.. Gradauated 2010(work-managing somewhere till now)
Applicant 2: Studied Bsc. Health Education..2:2 Grade..
Is it possible for them to get MSc Program ? or they should opt for Post Grad. Diploma.
Any suggestion on courses of relativity will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

No offence intended, but I find it a bit odd when "graduates" say they need help in finding a post graduate program. Whether it is a school across the Atlantic, or one beyond the Pacific, the process remains the same. Google schools, check their requirements, narrow down choices, then apply. Its understandable if one needs info on the pros and cons of particular schools with regards to particular courses or tuition or living expenses dynamics, but this kind of blanket request leaves a little to be desired.

good day all.
I want apply to do my masters in Canada against the January admissions. the plan was to go with my husband and 1 year old daughter, however I just found out I am pregnant again and am confused. After much deliberation my hubby and I decided to go on with the travel plans but I need advice from you guys;
1. will I still be given Visa to travel despite my condition, from my calculation I will be due February or march and I intend to start the program Jan
2. will it be better for me to apply to go and give birth in Canada and from there change my Visa to study Visa after the delivery ( I know its possible in the USA but not sure if it is in Canada)
personally I will prefer to go ahead with my study visa application not hiding the fact am pregnant. please I need urgent advice on how to go about this as I am running out of time.

thanks my good people

My question is...will you be able to combine academics with baby-care? I guess that the beginning part of a program is the most intensive part so if your program is to start in January and you are due to delivering February, how do you plan to cope?

richcasey:
VO we dey wait ooo

LMAO....this is absolutely hilarious!

Sorry arise say I tag u
@ sirie, sorry if I spelt it wrong. Your case it convoluted as well as interesting
1) been pregnant should not affect ur visa app
2) you can give birth in canada that should not be a problem

The thing is that masters abi schooling in canada is pretty tough oh. To takecare of kid, give birth and go to school at the same time would be extremely tough but doable. My advise would be to come with enough money, I mean good money to pay for part time helper or day care when needed. Please, with ur profile don't think of working in canny for now cos Ur hands are full. Go girl, you are a super mum you can do it.

Hello, Pleas I jst wantd to ask if its possible to apply to for two or mor programs in a particular school with just one application fee payment?

Hey.

Congrats!

The timing of your delivery and program start date isn't going to work well, not to even talk of the season.

I'd advice you wait ma and apply as against fall 2016 or beyond.

But you can do it if you want to. I have heard of people who did although only few months into pregnancy before travelling.

Is your husband going for a certain program too?

Soon Bro, whenever the online app has these 'hitches' usually I think they are updating people's application. So you have something to hold unto-Next week most likely.

Ivylane:


Not yet oh! Still being reviewed even called the clinic today to confirm they have sent the report.

Waiting patiently and praying seriously!!!
Thanks for asking.

You are welcome, Sister.

The fact that we are headed for the Same School, you are a Thread member and all that means I have special interest in your app.

I wish you the perfect grace of God

my husband is not going for a program, he just wanted to accompany me to help with our daughter. he feels that since he's already going he can also take care of the baby too while i school. am the bookish type and he's really encouraging me to further and is willing to do everything to lessen the stress on me. he works in a bank but has always wanted to quit his bank job and start a buisness; he feels now is the time to go and when we come back we can start the busness. my fear now is getting a Visa for us all in my condition, and postponing it will just make me loose interest in the whole thing.
