Nigerian billionaire and Chairman of Heirs Holdings Ltd, Tony Elumelu, was forced to defend himself after he was categorized among the notable Nigerians who graduated with a Third class from their respective universities.

Following the Dino Melaye certificate saga, a twitter user named those respectable citizens whom he felt graduated with a 3rd class degree. The wealthy philanthropist Elumelu reacted with seriousness to the trending post. See below;

He understood the fact that most Nigerians have failure in retentive memory....

They can stereotype!!!

That's how they also stereotyped Wole soyinka to be a third class graduate....the man came out sometimes last year to deny and debunk some lies....

It's just an excuse for failures who used all their time frolicking with assholes while on camppus

The person that rant this rubbish on social media is the most stupid and useless person on planet earth. The man is already a billionaire and the is the most important thing. Is better i have third class or even pass and become a billionaire than to have first class and be poor.
What matters is how successul u are finacially.





Who first class help.

This day, all our politicians are now having a surrogate certificate whereby their acquired professional cert can not boast of practising in their field.

Few of them are:
Bukola Saraki, a medical doctor who can not fix a drip on patient

Goodluck Jonathan, zoologist who can not manage a pet range

Sambo, an Arch who can not design a bungalow

Name others you know

The fact that you cant read, understand, assimilate what you read and then "put it down" in response to exam questions that yo are asked......... leading to your failure and eventual "Pass/3rd Class" graduation, is hardly a reflection of an intelligent person!

If you cant overcome "basic tests" that all your mates could overcome in school .... how would you claim to be able to overcome more serious, life-challenges?
Just look at our NASS and you will see what a critical-mass of "people of average cranial ability" can do to a nation.
undecided undecided

Your "Class of Degree" is also a "part-measure" of your level of intelligence , take it or leave it.

Well, l know "3rd Class materials" will always claim "I am Tony Elumelu"!
But they forget that any fool can make/jam money in a very corrupt environment like Nigeria ....

I don't know which myth is more pronounced in Nigeria.
Nigeria lost 100 to 1 to India and the balls changed to lion and only Mudashiru overcame with the juju in his leg to score the only goal we had and India was then banned from football.
Or
Wole Soyinka graduating with a 3rd class.

Or that Philip Emeagwali is the "father of the internet".

That got me thinking, what other lies have been peddled as facts in Nigeria given that we are also too lazy to do independent research on issues.
One word, "Pathetic."

Those who go to school to waste not just their money, but their time, end-up with a low grade (like Failure/Pass/3rd Class grin ) .... but those who know why they went to school, come out with brilliant results!

So, chose what you want to get out of School, and you will get it. SIMPLE!
