This is just my case. am experiencing this same sad story right nw. sometime I wish i could end it by gotten mysef prepared for 6fits underground. I see mysef as if am in the wrong world.
bro/sis, only if u re experiencing this... u can only knw the mental... associate with seeing ursef wit low self-esteem, nd no sense of belonging. at times, deep inside u, you knw that u re not a dullard or you counterparts are better than you. well to me I think something is missing somewhere.
I av come to understand that in this life... sometime u does thing u have no idea how it was manipulated to ur advantage bcuz u knw that your potentials is not up to that level. and otherwise you u just do something nd hoping to see excellent result but the story always leaves ur mouth widely open "how come" while u fighting the tears to remain in ur eyes. woo, all is well jare!

Good day Nairalanders, the time I started writing this is 3:22am, whether am a popular NLder or not doesn't matter, but I would like to Conceal my identity. These would be a bit long, because I would want to explain all what is happening and has been happening to me concerning my education.
I am from the eastern part of Nigeria, and school somewhere in the south, part of the top 10 universities in Nigeria.
Back in my, Primary and Junior secondary school, I was extremely brilliant, always part of first 3, a lot of times I was 1st in class and best overall. Even my junior waec, I was so happy, people were happy for me.
The problem started in my secondary school, I noticed I started dropping, my 2nd term in SS1, I was 21/23 in class, same school, same class mates.
I thought maybe I had started playing to much, so I stopped all what I figured out could be the problem, yet there was no solution, my parents got me private teachers for my core subjects. Once they are with me, I would understand what they teach me, when they leave, I don't slack, I continue reading and reading, when exam comes, it would seem like I wasn't the one who read. A day before the exam, it would be fresh in my head and when I even write the exam, my mind would be like "you have killed it"
My parents would ask how it was, my reply would be: "yes, it was perfect, expecting the perfect result".
When I see my result, I would as usual fail virtually everything.
Still, I managed to go/forge ahead, I was able to pass my WASSCE in one sitting, how I did that I don't know, not that I passed outstandingly, I only had 'credit' in all the subject I was expect to have grade 'C'.
Then the hustle for Jamb came, let it be known that I wrote jamb 5 times, and the 5th time was when I got admitted to my school of choice.
Currently in my 200level, we resumed a new session about 2months ago. Now to what caused dis write up.
My first semester of 100level result: C, F, A, D, D.
A terrible result for someone in 100level, yes, I know. I felt too relaxed first semester, played a lot.
I determined that 2nd semester would be better, not that I was expecting all A's but I didn't want any F.
So my whole 2nd semester was reading all through, I read to the extent that I started feeling sure I should have A's in at least 3 out of 6 courses.
But when the result came in, it was worse than my first semester without me playing or getting distracted,
My 2nd semester of 100level result: C, F, C, E, C,F
And now 200level has kicked off, but something is happening to me.
I don't think I can survive this anymore,
My parents don't have money, my dad is struggling to send us to school.
None of my siblings work,
I have been contemplating different means of ending my life,
I move about with shame, I don't sleep anymore, I can't get my head straight, I would stay awake all night crying and praying for a change in my academic life.
I have done all what I think I can humanly do, hence why the thought of taking my life,
I know I can't create a life, but of what use is one that doesn't seem to make people happy?
But then, I decided to come on here, to ask if there is something else in reading I am not doing apart from, reading.... I have applied all the reading techniques applicable, jot while reading, revise, ask myself questions, and all. But still after exam, I don't seem to have that desired result, I have prayed countless times.
By my side is a chemical I got when I discovered I had 2f's. Education, they say is the best legacy. But in my case it isn't sure if it would be, I am a business oriented person, but no money to even establish myself, so that's not an option, please Nairalanders, I don't wish to Take my life, please is there anything you can suggest to me other than suicide and constant reading and prayers. I am 22years of age.
God bless.
Don't worry, put your trust in God. Give your life to Jesus and things will take a change. I have similar experience with you, it was as if you were narrating my own story. I was the best student in my secondary school, wrote ssce thrice and jamb twice, before I got admitted into my choice course of study. It was engineering, I had a very bad results and even probated in my 100 level, my gpa was 1.91. I began 200 level after serving my one year of probation through thick and thin, I have high hopes and was very studious believing things will change, I even became fervent with religious activities. At the end I got a 3.05 gpa, I was devastated, I couldn't eat well, sleep well and stop going to church, I wanted to turn an atheist. My background is not a rich one and my dad is an advocate for academic excellence. At the beginning of 300 level, I heard my inner self telling me that without God I can do nothing and seeing my background, I dusted myself and made up my mind to do my best and let God have his way, I prayed for forgiveness and I continued with my faith. At the end of the session I made a 3.54 gpa. To cut the story short, I graduated with a second class upper and everyone was happy, I went for my nysc and completed it, I have not gotten a proper job but I am doing fine, and hoping God will lift me up to greater heights. I pray that God will grant you academic excellence in Jesus name. And I come against any strong hold fighting your life right now in the name of Jesus. God bless you. And please don't think of committing suicide. 3 Likes |

You really want to die cos if nairalanders advise you finish, you will double the dose of that chemical.
On the flip side i think what happend to me happened to you. If you zoned out after JSS 3, then you got placed in the wrong area probably on the strength of you then result. You studied wrong in SS classes and are now studying something at undergraduate level you are very weak in. I know cos i spent 8years studying a five year course.
If you are bold about it, you can switch now. Or you can struggle like me and just finish the damn thing.
You 1st year results and mine are pretty similar but i still finished with a 2.2 and i eventually finished strongly and smashed at MSc level abroad. Don't drink that chemical lil bro, don't look at you unemployed siblings as a barometer. Tomorrow go always make more sense.

Confessng:
Don't drink that chemical, nothing is ever as bad as we think it is .
What do you enjoy doing ?
And a degree may aid you to have a better life but it isn't the ultimate.
Start looking for alternate means of earning some form of income.
Start learning about something you love....
The problem with the world is the bandwagon syndrome everyone wants to be a graduate yet we all have our different callings.
i remember growing up two guys brothers ooh dropped out one in JSs3 went ahead to be a carpenter today he is married to a graduate and drives a clean RAV4
His younger bro waited till ss2 dropped out and went ahead to be an Electrician trust me he is doing very very well......
If not passing courses can make you suicidal then what will happen if you get into the job market and can't find a job for years as it happens in the Nigerian labor market ?
I think God is just trying to open your eyes to other possibilities that you should pay attention to , do not let grades determine how far you will go in life Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates , Steve Jobs and if that is going to far our own Seun Osewa aren't graduates, they are all self taught geniuses ......
Find what you love doing and if it means leaving the 4walls of a university or attending courses you enjoy like Steve Jobs not for marks but for learning by all means go for it
Don't commit suicide there is greatness inside you crying for expression, go and pour away that chemical
Are you seen osewa's wife  ?? |

50% of all graduates end up in banking anyways, and banks take anything, and i mean anything. Back when i was in the country, i worked with medical doctors and soil science graduates in these banks, all of us doing operations or marketing.
Don't stress yourself, if accounting is stressing you, change your dreams, what course unit did you make an A in for example? It will help us know your strengths I'm studying soil science |

Bro the critical ingredients for success in academics is mental capacity, passion for study and delivery skill. I think u hav d first two but lack d last one. In primary school it's just give as given. But from secondary school scores are based on points i.e how u organise ur answers and how much important information u write about question asked. It's not about cramming and filling several pages but what quality is contained in ur answers. My advice: practice writing in an organized manner answers to possible exam questions with enough vital information ( taught or researched) den watch ur grades improve. All d best bro. |

Haven't you read stories of great men such as Albert Einstein,Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Abraham Lincoln etc the list is endless. Just be focus and be yourself. People like you who have difficulties at the beginning always have their names written in gold. You shall be great in the very near future. Just watch out. |

sometimes fear creates obsession within a person that has the ability to destroy the individual. Don't be too TOO HARD trying to make good grade because it can set up a negative feedback within you that will begin to destroy every aspects of your life. So it will be wise for you to relax. The Bible says be CAREFUL FOR NOTHING but in every thing by praying WITHOUT SEIZING let your request be made known to God. Psychology says that you will always mess up with something your too careful about . that's why Bible is saying be careful for nothing. All you need to do is to stay upon God. believe you be when this door seem to be closed just watch how God will do a miracle at lass or will open another door that will make you to testify in future. But my brother you have to remain faithful to God if you want him to enter your case. But bear in mind he may not work the way you just expect it so don't think you've been wasting your time praying |

I hardly ever comment here but I had to this time because your story is similar to what I went through, but unlike you I started the struggle right from primary 1. Yes I was one of the few people that have had to read with intensity all through my education.
From what you explained in your original post, I observed that you are currently studying in an area where you are very weak at, mind you this doesn't mean you are dull it just means that you have to change your studying tactics.
What I did during my time was to get very close to the gurus about two of them in my class and then we solve problems related to that course together, study past questios, do assignments and get tutorial in any area I found difficult. Reading on your own in this case would never be enough.
Finally my year one CGPA was 1.69 but I had to re-strategise and applied all the things I mentioned above. I ended up graduating with a 2'1. All hope is not lost. My dear please keep hope alive. You will succeed for you are a success! |

Once they are with me, I would understand what they teach me, when they leave, I don't slack, I continue reading and reading, when exam comes, it would seem like I wasn't the one who read. A day before the exam, it would be fresh in my head and when I even write the exam, my mind would be like "you have killed it"
My parents would ask how it was, my reply would be: "yes, it was perfect, expecting the perfect result".
When I see my result, I would as usual fail virtually everything.
Still, I managed to go/forge ahead, I was able to pass my WASSCE in one sitting, how I did that I don't know, not that I passed outstandingly, I only had 'credit' in all the subject I was expect to have grade 'C'.
Then the hustle for Jamb came, let it be known that I wrote jamb 5 times, and the 5th time was when I got admitted to my school of choice.
Currently in my 200level, we resumed a new session about 2months ago. Now to what caused dis write up.
My first semester of 100level result: C, F, A, D, D.
A terrible result for someone in 100level, yes, I know. I felt too relaxed first semester, played a lot.
I determined that 2nd semester would be better, not that I was expecting all A's but I didn't want any F.
So my whole 2nd semester was reading all through, I read to the extent that I started feeling sure I should have A's in at least 3 out of 6 courses.
But when the result came in, it was worse than my first semester without me playing or getting distracted,
My 2nd semester of 100level result: C, F, C, E, C,F
And now 200level has kicked off, but something is happening to me.
I don't think I can survive this anymore,
My parents don't have money, my dad is struggling to send us to school.
None of my siblings work,
I have been contemplating different means of ending my life,
I move about with shame, I don't sleep anymore, I can't get my head straight, I would stay awake all night crying and praying for a change in my academic life.
I have done all what I think I can humanly do, hence why the thought of taking my life,
I know I can't create a life, but of what use is one that doesn't seem to make people happy?
But then, I decided to come on here, to ask if there is something else in reading I am not doing apart from, reading.... I have applied all the reading techniques applicable, jot while reading, revise, ask myself questions, and all. But still after exam, I don't seem to have that desired result, I have prayed countless times.
By my side is a chemical I got when I discovered I had 2f's. Education, they say is the best legacy. But in my case it isn't sure if it would be, I am a business oriented person, but no money to even establish myself, so that's not an option, please Nairalanders, I don't wish to Take my life, please is there anything you can suggest to me other than suicide and constant reading and prayers. I am 22years of age.
God bless.

AmNotADullard:
Good day Nairalanders, the time I started writing this is 3:22am, whether am a popular NLder or not doesn't matter, but I would like to Conceal my identity. These would be a bit long, because I would want to explain all what is happening and has been happening to me concerning my education.
I am from the eastern part of Nigeria, and school somewhere in the south, part of the top 10 universities in Nigeria.
Back in my, Primary and Junior secondary school, I was extremely brilliant, always part of first 3, a lot of times I was 1st in class and best overall. Even my junior waec, I was so happy, people were happy for me.
The problem started in my secondary school, I noticed I started dropping, my 2nd term in SS1, I was 21/23 in class, same school, same class mates.
