Let me tell you one thing. I used to mock those with poor grade until something happened to me that change my perception. It is not their fault that most end up with poorer grades because SO many things bedevil them in the quest to acquire a degree. I know about 4 of my set who were never serious in school but are doing far above many who read too much and took this certificate as key to a fulfilled life, which didn't quite happen.

One thing about most with such grades is that they are often more determined because the odds are stacked against them than those with better grades, or how did Dino emerge as governor and now a senator? This is Nigeria my brother! WAKE UP!

Alariwo2:


doesn't make it entirely false or does it?

Opeade939:
Lol,at least ,I'm different from you in all ramifications.....
Ruminate on that as well.

vani86:


Ordinary cram and pass. Why did you not do that as well.

Lil boy, i have heard you

coolestchris2:
Ok boss..use the final certificate to bring out 10 million,lets celebrate u

And yes degree do not justify success in life at all, but it definitely a stepping stone where you can launch your career.

This guy just messed up himself. You think you are a kid?

Graduating third class isn't the problem, some people do not even go to school. The problem is the fact that he forged his result to go for NYSC. This goes to show how criminal minded this man is. We shouldn't be celebrating criminals like this because kids like you will not see anything wrong in it. Many people will see it as another idea to skip their carryovers and forged their own results just to go for NYSC.

Chris, you have not only disgraced yourself but you have ended up making it difficult for serious minded people to take you serious since you want tow the path of the jaguda senator. A senator who should have been locked in kirikiri irregularities in his certificate, you are here cheering him.

On behalf of smart and intelligent Uniben engineering graduates who used the LT1, LT2, LT3 and LT4, we hereby dissociate from you because you have brought shame to our beloved class.

This is where we got it wrong in this country: Youth worship money. It is money and nothing else.
NOA needs serious work to do but it's like the organisation died long time ago.
I show you evidence of N10 million naira, you will start worshipping me, right?

maasoap:

Thank God that your employer indeed gave you the opportunity to submit your CV in the first place and attend the interview if there was anything like that.
Because in most cases, employers don't collect applications from the Third Class graduates. This is because, they're already labelled as unserious type.

buffalowings:

I salute congrats sir.

SmartyPants:


I didn't have a strong record of achievement in my earlier years but I haven't done too poorly in life since. However, lets face the facts:

1. Good academic results are not proof of intelligence but are usually a good indication of it.

Poor results means you were either dull, lazy or a victim of circumstance. Frankly, it is usually one or both of the first two, and these are traits that are hard to change.

This means that on average it is reasonable to expect that people with poor results may not do well in life.

2. Employers are looking for people with intelligence and drive. A third class simply does not portray that and consequently, anyone coming out with a third class will automatically be disadvantaged greatly, whether or not he or she thinks they are the smartest person from earth to Uranus.

3. Success builds on success. If you went through school without learning well, how well do you expect to perform in real world conditions? You cannot apply knowledge that you do not have, can you?

So while a third class is not the end of life, t really I nothing to be proud of. It is the very definition of utter mediocrity.

I mean, even look at the opening post by the OP; I was expecting to see a reason or explanation for why the fact that he made third class is relevant to Dino Melaye... But nope. No logic, no reason. Just an empty statement of support.

Newsflash!! Even Dino Melaye probably doesn't want the association of third class degree holders standing behind him!

MVLOX:


A good employer of Labour is not looking for your result the truth is that he has seen many pple with result fail in their role... Dis days a gud employer of Labour want the man who can do the job.... That is where experience comes in.... A third class graduate will rather start small and gather so much experience like i have done unlike a guy with gud results Dat want it all big

jaybee3:


Possibly but mostly always highly unlikely

I'm sure you understand Stats right?

vani86:


I am at work, working my ass of to be able to raise a family.

Only replying your dumb question and meme because i am out in the field.

While you and your fellow proud association of 3rd class graduates will spend 20 hours out of todays 24 on nairaland chatting shit and making money for seun.


Now i got nothing against 3rd class graduates, but it's nothing to be proud of. Those that made 1st class, 2:1 or 2:2 in your dept, did they have 6 heads with 11 brains.

MONITZ:



Mbok, Abeg remove Soyinka and Ganis'names from that list because we all know what went down in their respective cases. But that of Ibori we know nothing about ,so we re only open to conjectures....

SalamRushdie:


For you info there a very few people around that can match me intellectually in any known field...I do amazing things with my brain but it's a pity I have to stay anonymous

maasoap:

Lie to yourself as much as can. Evidence abounds on the Internet that nearly all employers don't collect applications from third class graduates except government agencies.

EVarn:
Etsako too?....cool
Though I dont support what my brother(@crown) is saying,I do understand his point though.

MVLOX:


I do but all am saying is that a 3rd class is not a death sentence in fact it's a wake up call.... A call to find an alternative, a call to seek btw plan B - Z, a call that opens one's eyes to so much hidden and beneficial potentials.....

MVLOX:


Then u haven't seen the list released by the federal civil service commission..... Take a look at it den come back.... Go check and find out what most of ur former lecturers graduated with....

coolestchris2:
u wasted ur parents money too, if by now u have not giving them back the school fees money in ten folds

vani86:


I am not mocking him,, ok maybe i did with my 1st comment but in all honesty i never knew this thread will make FP. Maybe my 1st comment was harsh,.

And yes degree do not justify success in life at all, but it definitely a stepping stone where you can launch your career.

Lets be honest, some people do not do well in uni due to circumstances beyond their control, while some simply do not do well cuz they werenot serious. If you went to uni you will definitely know what i am talking about. The OP seems to he in the later category cuz he is a poser. Going by his threads, he was d fine boy party type tht did not takehos studies serious. Now he is a graduate he is trying to justify his degree with that of another person.

You guys should be freaking honest and call a spade a spade.

ElsonMorali:


And what makes you think I haven't given them back a thousand fold.

Because our path cross online doesn't mean we are on the same level.

My issue with your post is not that you had a third class, it is that you're boasting about something that should naturally make you feel sober.

And then coming online to flaunt it and tell the world that you stand with a Senator who doesn't even know you exist, but who is well known for his uncouth and thugish behaviour and lifestyle.

I'll advice you to go stand with your family. They are the ones who will stand by you when things are rough, and not Dino Meliar.

ruggedtimi:
he has a degree atleast. Many people are dropouts. And he is proud because you dont know how he feels or the stress he has passed through just to grad with a 3rd. How do you know if his parents actually sponsored him to school. Bro gpa is not the most import thing in life. The most important physical thing is money

vani86:
In other words you be olodo, dundy. Your mates made at least 2:2 and after 5 years in university, you came out with 3rd class and proud because a thug like melaye is also a dundy.

SMH leaders of tomorrow

yoged:
you might probably be working for someone who doesn't even have a certificate. It's not by what you graduated with. Alot of 2.1 or 2.2 are roaming the street looking for job. It take the grace of God to be successful in life. Appreciate what you have and stop disrespecting those who graduated with lower grades. And please don't work your ass to death

vani86:


Words. Mere words. You know that cuz you are God, no Son of God, abi you are a time traveller. See unrealistic comments like this show your level of reasoning. All is good though

Let's stop bastardizing the third class
