Education in Nigeria only teaches how to b a slave to an individual who think, n set up sth. If you have up to 2k and you are in need of financial education to be financially free then leave everything you're doing and run to a book store and buy these books: Money won't make you rich... Sunday Adelaja, Unfair Advantage.... Robert Kiyosaki and Rich Dad Poor Dad.... Robert kiyosaki. After reading it, you'll wish you had done so 5 years ago. Thank Me later. Money will not make you rich, but knowledge and an understanding of the laws and principles of money hence financial education will. You can either believe it now or later. For those of us who hate reading and school. Your problem is not that you hate learning but you hate the school system. Your professors are trying to replicate themselves in you, forgetting that we all are individuals. They say study hard, get a good degree so that you can get a good job. Their opinion I guess. You can hate schooling but not education. So now with whatever system you like self educate yourself. Continuous education is the only way to stay in control of your finances. Your wealth is directly proportional to your knowledge. We like preaching Readers are Leaders but hate practising it. Anyway folks don't know who a LEADER is, they think it's politics. That's by the way, just buy, read and study the books. Una dooo 6 Likes |

So do I mean people shouldn’t study hard in school? Oh, no, you should. But don’t sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class. Don’t limit yourself to the classroom.This literary summarized what the OP meant... Stop attacking first class graduates just because you can't achieved that feat, By so doing you are even worst than the so called arrogant first class students/Graduates. True, Some with lower academic class or even without a degree are successful, but can that be compared with the overwhelming number of others that aren't successful? Not everyone can be Dagote or Bill gates or Mark Zuckerbeg, These successful people shouldn't be your yardstick in achieving success in life. Just follow your passion, If getting a first class is your goal then good. They are many first class graduates with great personality, In fact the so called arrogance can be exhibited by both first class and third class alike. Personality isn't attributed to "Class" alone. Every fresher came into the university so full of hope and optimism that they would make first class but after a semester and another and another and they realized they can't make first class then they remember success isn't all about first class with stories like "my uncle doesn't have a degree and he owns a company blahblahblah" . Remember success means different things to different people, to some it is wealth, power and to others it could be simply Academic excellence. 13 Likes 1 Share |

While the grade "some" people made in school had no bearing on their lifes outcome, Statistics is not fair with most school failures as they end up in the bottom ladder of economic prosperity. Some first class may be dumb , but blatant generalization is uncalled for as it is a well known fact that only focused individuals excel in school and focus we all know is inherent to the success of any endeavor someone engages in. Some people can list a thousand examples of first class who didn't make it forgetting that there are also millions of non first class who ended up as failure. So the bottom line is that individuals determine their own success irrespective of their class of degree. The only positive thing about this post is that it provides an opportunity for those who failed in school to ridicule those who didn't , in their mind they are like: "Thank god I didn't make first class , I will have been a failure in life" 5 Likes 1 Share |

UfuomaUN: You call these things we attend schools? Seriously how up to date are most of the materials used by the lecturers in teaching in these schools? Friend of mine graduated from banking, final year lecture they were teaching about postal order. No mention of even ATM or international bank transfers. You call that one a qualified graduate even if he comes out with a first class? Guy swerve |

Life itself is a school in process. Life is fluid, dynamic and constantly changing. A degree whether first class or last class does not shape the society we live in. A first class studentmust be a changer, an innovator. A degree is terminal in nature, but life in itself is not, except you die. Theories and formulas have always been disputed and redefined to suit the challenges of life while the degree is as best a claim of academic excellence. Life doesnt issue certificate of recommendation like the degree does cause life is what you make of it. |

Does your skills derail or focus on following the provided instructions?. Those are the questions you should ask yourself before applying "Skills" because useless is a footballer that always dribble but has no accurate pass and or ability to score goal. If you are a manager, will you hire such player against one with no dribbling skill but accurate pass and goal scoring ability? 3 Likes 1 Share |

refreshrate: The op raised an argument claiming FCS don't do well in life. Did he back up his claims with any real examples? All he conjured was some random talk from an unknown professor. Is that proof enough? I would have presented you with good enough examples but for my poor mobile network. And please mind your language. I'm in no mood for insults.

UfuomaUN: wait. Oga just wait You're missing my point. This particular point You're responding to is not about the first class individual, me I've finished with those ones tey tey. They have nothing to offer besides the ability to cram and pour. This point was about the school system that doesn't encourage like you said updating and getting students to understand latest developments in their fields. Same book they used for final year students are used for you when you get to final year four or five years later and will still be used for the present year one students. Does this make sense? Someone will now come and say he graduated first class based on knowledge from an era gone past. |
