forget that thing .i won't argue with you .My only advice to you is for you to attend fed university for masters and see the difference
Whether state or federal, if one is determined, nothing can change that.

In my honest opinion;
There's no reason in the world why any University student should graduate with less than a 2.1.


So if you couldn't excel in a University,


No employer believes you will in his business.
At your age you still have this low mentality?

Third class graduates do get employed


Your 2:1 or 2:2 or 1st class doesn't matter .
Apply,write d interview,pass,be dedicated and you are employed.

Employers know about all these results of a thing,they know some doesn't worth it.

BE YOUSELF AND SAY YES TO YOURSELF.

Why will someone graduate with 2:2 in the first place? Of course, getting a job is hard even for the First and second class upper graduates but being on 2:2 places one at a greater disadvantage unless of course you know the higher ups.
Because everybody is not the same. Your 2.1 doesn't make you better than 2.2 graduate, it only gives you a better opportunity at getting a job, still if you have nothing more to offer other than your 2.1 certificate then you're no where near getting that job.

you are worthless without them grin

why don't you employ your kind grin
i give them reason to exist.
i will be interviewing some first class graduates nxt week.
i have specified that i only need first class.
what gives me the most satisfaction is when i clearly let them know that i graduated with a pass.
i love how they look at me with surprise written all over their book worm faces.
the ones i am waiting for are the ones that covered their exam sheets to prevent me from copying.

Employers should give all classes of grades a trial.

Present day Nigeria where corruption of all kinds is prevalent, even in our citadels of learning, is not ideal to base employment on grades only.

Re: Why It Is So Dificult To Get A Job With A 2.2? by bidierichie: 9:02am On Aug 15, 2017
Its because you have no skill (technical skill) to back it up. Be skillful and see if you will not displace someone with 1st class that is without skill (competency / technical know-how). We are living in the age of skills where "what you can offer" is what rule and not what you graduated with, the school you attended notwithstanding.

That's not true. If you really passed through a university, you would be saying otherwise. Anyways, it's your opinion... I rep UNN

2-1, 2-2 third class is all bullshit in Nigeria! Oga stop whining. I know third class people out there with good jobs, and not the work of connections.
In a country like Nigeria, what determines your success is how smart you are(street smartness and intelligence), how hard you can hustle, the skills you equip yourself with and the network you build.
If you feel like a 2-2 is bringing you down, why don't you enhance yourself: get a masters' degree, get reputable certifications, acquire new skills, go for professional conferences and lectures and expand your network. Your grade is not holding you down. When first class and 2-1 graduates have not even finished finding jobs. The thing is Nigerians are generally lazy and they don't want to take that extra step that'll take them places. They'd rather sit at home and cry about how there are no jobs, how a particular grade is looked down on. Nobody wants to leave their comfort zone.
Its true. academics, we met here, on earth. There are virtues & skills in you born with. Academics doesn't determine your altitude in life. If it fails you, what about the virtues & skill? They are there for a purpose and can make a way for you. When you combine this with academic knowledge, you will truly excel. Richest pple in this world, in nigeria, I don't think they are all professors?

Whatever your hand find doing, do it well.
