ireneony:
so true...seriously i hate social media ..
Whenever i see pics of my old school mate getting married, flauting their spouse, snapping happy pics...i think their lives are better even though I'm not doing bad. I think the thing is humans are never satisfied.

Well you are spot on. I think it's quite tacky for me to use one example as a simplistic generalization. However the truth is I have gone through over 6 CU and Bowen graduates in the last 18 months alone three of whom have first class degrees so I get somehow weary when people come
brandishing their first class certificate. Besides I can quite understand if people bulk under exam and test conditions but bulking in a relaxed work environment where you have two weeks to deliver is another thing. More so, the presentation ain't the only gaffe.

Heavance:
It was getting interesting till I read "my secondary school mates were getting married and having kids".
This thing is too common with girls..... they just put themselves under unnecessary pressure, stop making your life a competition.
The simple truth is that 50% of them are actually not married, and most are not finding life funny where ever they are, Facebook just keeps making their life look better than yours because you allow it seem so.

Malakh:

Well, organizations that aim to recruit only first class graduates do themselves a disservice. Having a firstclass is just a statement of academic excellence and nothing else. When you admit them into research institutions, academia or research laboratories they tend to do well because the kind of conditions that exist in those work 'climate' favors their kind of thought processes. Sometimes the strength of a first class grad is his weakness. Though I think ur tag of private unis isn't fair as I have seen public universities first class graduates whom I cannot recommend for employment. But the problem is employers assumption that academic excellence is a statement on Integrity, Perseverance, Optimism, Ingenuity, Courage, Loyalty, Accountability or creativity but they tend to find out sooner or later, but instead of blaming their selection process they turn on the University or the First class value itself. I did not graduate from CU with a first class, neither was i ever close to being on a First class by a wide margin but i recognize my strength and my abilities and i know for a fact that when it comes to my strengths i can stand shoulder to shoulder with any first class graduate from my school. However i can vouch that any first class conferred by my school is a very legit representation of the persons knowledge base but nothing else. So if you want the best for your organization, then open up ur processes to include people from public universities and other different grades(even up till 3rd class) and then set up new criteria that is more relevant to ur organizational need and select based on that.

lol. u just as ignorant as her if u term her apologetic story as an achievement. many are out there making ground breaking achievements and setting standards and d irony of it is that they had no form of formal education. but here u r making a conspicuous display of ur ever shining ignorance so as to enjoin me in celebrating what i term mediocrity at its peak.

if all what d white men did was to come online and post how dey graduated from Harvard with first class am sure u wouldn't even have a phone to type this rubbish u just typed

Impressive! First class or not, degrees should be awarded for both character and learning. Meaning that degrees should not be based on academic excellence only. So typically a first class graduate should be the best of both worlds as the saying goes.

I will agree with you that recruitment policies that focus mainly on academic grades is not the right way attract the best talent but also the schools also need to raise the bar when it comes to awarding degrees. Note that this is not to say that people who truly have worked for and deserve a first class shouldn't get it but the truth is this; the output from a handful of these first class holders is so dismal and just leaves a sour taste and impression and what typically happens is people begin to wonder how other lower grade holders will perform if a first class holder's performance is below par. So therefore recruiters are forced to ask for other qualifications esp from degree holders with 2.1 and below.

My final take is this first class or not what matter is how you can pull your weight in the outside world.

Afterall Tony Elumelu finished with a 3rd class and see where he is today.
