The fact is, they are exceptional. However, they need to migrate to better climes to justify their distinction. A first class in Microbiology without ever using any state-of-the art facility in that field makes your result questionable outside Nigeria.

This Practical V Theory issue is laughable.

Can those state of the art equipment be operated without excellent theoretical background and knowledge. People need to travel and see the world before they throw this mumbo jumbo about the ability to utilise equipment and to implement theoretical knowledge in a practical manner.

As a Msc. student in a top university in Europe with Friends who are currently Msc. students, PhD Students at top Universities in Canada and US, for your information with dedication and "the never say die nigerian mentality" Nigerian students have/can learnt/learn to operate those state of the art equipments. 60% of Nigerian studies studying abroad are usually Research Assistants, what can you say about that?

Let's be sincere Afonjas sabi book die!

Nigerians and Jealousy, some don't even understand what they're arguing about.
A perfect score doesn't mean 100/100 in all your exams but an A in all your exams.In the Nigerian system, 70/100 fetches you an A.So if you can get even 70/100 in all ur exams, then you're good to Go.I know a 300lvl student engineering that's on 5.0 , he doesn't need to get 100/100 but 70/100..all those saying that you can't get 100/100 in a practical exam should take several seats please, She might not get 100/100 but doesn't mean she can't get 70/100 which is still an A

Benedict has a very strong point, i can bet my kidneys that if you take that Unilag student that made 1st class in systems Engineering to MIT or any other advanced university he or she may struggle to even get a pass Nobody scores 100/100 in a practical test . 5.0 in Economics, Yoruba or Divinity studies is possible but in "Systems Engineering" HABA!!!

Get your facts right bro, a Nigerian bagged 5.O cgpa in medicine in Russia, name go by Omotuyi Moyinlorun Google it, with all the practicals involved in medicine. Nothing is impossible

Benz4pimp:
bro,the problem here is not 1st class but 5.0!!!that equally means the students scored 100/100 in all courses!!!Have you ever seen anyone that scored 10/10 in practicals or fine art?

Big head. It may not be 100/100, a 70/100 is a 5.0 GPA so the scores may range between 70-100. I scored slightly above 70/100 in most of my courses in the university and came out with a very good grade.

When schools don't produce first class graduates, you complained, now unilag produced two first class graduates, people are still complaining
What exactly do you people want?

dude, dont get it wrong, nobody is complaining about the school dishing out first class graduates, our major concern is the 5.0 Perfect score. coincidentally, this happen in the same school last year. really, are we gonna say the qualities of the teachers and student is that good in UNILAG despite the outburst from that guy suspended by the school for criticizing their crappy system. when something is too good to be true, it warrant questioning.

Do you know how cumulative GP is calculated? If she scores A in all her courses, definitely she will have 5.0. That doesn't mean she scored 100% in any or all the courses she took. For some schools A is from 75 or more.
Do you understand now?

Jamzig1:

Bro e no easy jare... that perfect score is IMPOSSIBLE in FUNAAB, owing to the fact that every single course offered no matter how small the unit is or how irrelevant it is to your field contributes to your CGPA.
I dont know why they all cant adopt a unified grading system

Unified grading system?
MTS lecturers will weep...

U are sick!

I studied electrical and computer engineering in unilag and know oyinda personally. She took some of my departmental course. She is simply highly efficient and hardworking. However, I'd say she had a bit of luck or some might say divine favour because there were courses she just miraculously scored A where other equally good students scored B. There are a lot of other guys who were good enough to have 5.0 also but were unfortunate to have a few Bs here and there. Btw I managed to finish with a two-one. Phew! E no easy meen. Lol

That's not correct. They only need to score As in ALL their courses for a 5.0 CGPA.
A is score >75
So definitely that is possible.

You are confusing things, you don't need to score a 100/100. 70 is the minimum perfect score, get 70 in all your courses and you are guaranteed a perfect GPA.

Not two first class graduates but two people with 5.0 CGPA. There would be other first class graduates too.

Congratulations.

who told u 1st class is 100/100. First-class is from 70% and above my brother. Sit up. Do u actually known cgpa is all about?

You say 70% is First class? Damn
Over here, that's a C minus. It would be the equivalent of having a 2.0 out of 4.0 GPA

Getting that 70% is not beans o, at least theoretically

It seems some people forgot or don't know that to get first class means a CGPA of at least 4.5/5.0 which translates to 90%. There fore if the can make it here they would also make it there period.
