A third class graduate in Nigeria with a job of above 100k monthly could only be come by by "man know man" or "God's grace" else, the kind suffer wey you go suffer to get reasonable job eeh!.

Even the 2.1 graduates are finding it difficult to secure jobs. In a nutshell, grade matters inasmuch as we do more of favouritism in this part of the world.

Yes. Only by His grace. We leave Him, we fall.

AntiWailer:
Yes.

When the minimum is 2-1 nobody will hear you out with ur 2-2.

To keep it very simple.

100% Wrong, Cramming is just Garbage in garbage out (Data without processing) A Data is useless if information cannot be interpreted from it, if you don't understand it then it's a problem once you understand the underlying foundation of anything you won't need to cram infact you will find it easier to expland upon such knowledge, in the Software Dev field you need to understand what you are doing and why rather than just pouring out what you took in, doesn't work in the real world.

I'm not good at writing so i will try and summarize my post.

I was having a conversation with my brother who is studying Electrical engineering in one of the federal universities in the country. He keep on saying that Good grades at school guarantees a Job, there is this neighbor of ours that have been unemployed since 2015 after graduating from School but my brother said the guy graduated with 2.2 that's why he is unemployed! i know that it's good to graduate with good grades but i dont believe 1st class or 2.1 can fetch you a job in this country.

Gurus in the house does 2.1 or 1st class guarantees a good job in this country?

Wait, do you think someone who keeps cramming will not understand at a point?

Ekakamba:
Yes! + how well you defended it in an oral and practical interview! I'm a living testimony. I got a job while serving. Mind you good grade can only epp you get a job in private organizations not gidan gwapnati.
















My grade? 3rd class lower!

You may go far in some aspect but u cant go as far as muhammed alli, malcom x, steve jobs et al who didn't even finish school not to talk of havn a good grade. We've laid to much emphasis on academics,certificate and good grades in NG and stil it aint gettin us anywhere. I wont stop sayn it academics has in no way added to the growth and development of Nigeria but instead it has givn birth to sets of people with no creativity nor innovation at all. Our Judiciary system is zero yet we av law as a course in our uni's,political system zero yet there's pol science also i can go on and on but i dont av time for being a nonentity to the society.

Nope cramming and understanding are two different things, cramming means storing the data, understanding means processing and extracting information from the Data.

If my organization told me to get data for customer spending's over the last 20 years, and i just gave them the data, they will sack me, but if i analyzed it and gave them a report they will grasp it easily without consuming the data much. which is why students fail, cramming takes so much space compared to understanding. Although courses like Law and Biology are a different thing when it comes to exams Cramming is needed there.

pocohantas:
Yes it can.
Don't let anyone deceive you.
It creates opportunities for you, if you can defend the grade...you would definitely go far.

Luukasz:
Now U've spoken those who will,will. Even it all has different lvls but the fact stil remains the dropouts with no certs or grades whatever if,if and only if they are focused,determined and go after their dreams they do achieve greater feats of success than their fellows with certs. Aint condemnin certs cos i av mine too but sometimes when i look back i say to myself perhaps if i had gone after my dreams & shove school aside perhaps i would av been more successful than i am right now.

amoduokoh:
My question now is, what is poor grade?

Benita27:
Try seeking for a job with a third class. Only then will you be able to answer this your question.

Don't let those who believe education doesn't matter deceive you.
