You need to ensure you don't get a C or D or E of course no F from 3rd year till graduation. Focus on A's and B's.

Also you must and I repeat Must have an A in your finally year project cos that's the clincher.

All the best

Better tell him the truth; when he graduates from the university, he would see that guy that doesn't come for lectures that graduated with 3rd class, he would see him riding venza and completing his 3 story building. grin grin


The worst part is when the op will be carrying his cert in search for a Job under heavy sun, as he is waiting on a bus, the 3rd class venza guy would offer him a ride and once he reaches his bustop he would say," oya run go make dem no talk say you come late oo" that's life.


The truth is that certificates are just like pure waters, you can find them in many shops or road side hawkers.



MR op, learn a skill, put it in your cv, and get that dream Job.


I have a cousin who graduated with 3rd class and she is working in GTB bank. Her skill got her the job and not her cert.

"No be by certificate but by Sabi-ficate."



Sail well.

All these your retortions shows only one thing and it's that you didn't have neither first class nor second PL class upper, the major reason why you're castigating the whole thing.

If at all you're going to mention how grades doesn't determine you getting job easily or getting better than those with 3rd class, you ought to put it last and not as you did here.

Life is a stage by stage, you go to school first before hunting for job. And whereas, the grades doesn't determine it truly if not grace, but definitely it's a prerequisite; a very important one. So you could have told the OP to read hard and try as much as possible to make 2:1 because, the job market is competitive and only those with good grades are considered before those with lower grades are ever thought of. Then you're to tell him that aside the important, it is important that the OP acquire a skill so as to boost his chances of getting the job, because competition in the job market is now the survival of the fittest and not just based on the certificate alone rather what more and more one can offer. Afterwards you can now tell him how grace matters in the hunting too, as those with lower grades and less skills with grace can surpass those with first class.

MR op, learn a skill, put it in your cv, and get that dream Job.

Good grade on your Certificate is important too, because that's always the first requirement.

In the first case, GTBank will not for whatever reason recruit someone will 3rd because I'm certain it's not going to be in the recruitment requirement. Either she attained a masters degree or that they breached the process just to fit her in. Maybe because like you said, she sabi somebody in the system.

Now tell me, is it every student that sabi somebody in the system? No. It's only when you father hold millions of share at gTBank that you can settle for less like 3rd class. But those of us that our father are peasants and our mothers are petty traders who Don't sabi anybody in the government or anyone at any company, it's always good for us to try our best by all means to have a good grade. With that and grace, everything will come good for us.

Besides, I'll like you to tell me the skills the lady acquired before GTBank recruited her. Please.

He's not entirely right. Unless your parents have connections in high places, anything less than 2:1 will make the labor market a bit hard for you. Plus the need to get some highly recognized certificates that's in line with your field of study.

I knew you won't understand my words.

Let me just put it this way; We all know PDP was taking over and some believed they would win, only to wake up the next day and heard APC won.


The truth must be told, what am I talking about here. I am talking about reality.

We are both talking about reality bro. 2:1 gives one edge in getting a job than 3rd or 2:2 unless you have connection. But most people don't have connection and so there's need to make at least 2:1 by all means. It's simple thing now.

And please tell me the skill the lady acquired before she entered Gtbank, I'm interested in it because banking is my field and I'm trying to gathers as much skills that'll help when the time comes.
