Try as much as possible to do PGD in your required field. For instance, if you intend studying Chemistry at Master's level, let your PGD also align with Chemistry for easy Master's application. Best of luck bro..!

Smh

The fact you have this mindset about being a their calls graduate shows you how limited your reasoning is.
You already sound defeated and uninspired

Dude alot of companies won't hire you when they spot this mindset in you

Sure but that's after you must have supplemented it with a PGD. Cheer up, It's not the end of life bro.

Even if you do PHD the highest you can get in Nigeria is Night shift supervisor in an Hotel in Lagos...

Salary 30k tops, excludes benefits like health,house but may be you can get allowance on Transport 200 naira per day x 30 days 6k so you should get up to 40k per month max!

Whatever your plan is, always remember the world is run by people who didn't go to school.

Don't lose your self-esteem. A friend of mine who had 3rd class back in school now employs some of his classmates who had 1.1, 2.1, and 2.2 in his group of companies

Try to study outside Nigeria, the Nigerian educational system has victimized a lot of people, there are so many graduates out there who were given less than what they deserve.
Do your masters outside Nigeria to prevent stories.
If you don't have the money, there are countless scholarship you can apply for, don't worry about your grade, the whites don't discriminate like us.
