It means the school did not give him the first class, even though his cumulative GPA was within the first class range. Most Nigerian schools give you first class based on what they term "Character and Learning". Maybe the university felt that from his character, he would not be able to represent the school properly as a first class material. pocohantas: |

I blame Nigeria system. We worship certificate rather than what we the person can offer. I finished with second class lower from a university while my brother finished with a distinction from a polytechnic. Believe I am beast and more active and smarter than him in real world. 3 Likes |

larryking540:True. As a first class student, you need to be close to lecturers. If not, when they start cutting down the number of graduating first class for that year, you will fall victim. |

Bros, that you studied mech engine doesn't mean it is a mean feat to have a first class in other courses too. Just move on. By the way, in which school did you even study this mech engine sef?cos that matters too. You cant compare a 2-1 from some school with a first class from others. Having said that, I still maintain that all courses are not easy particularly in Nigerian unis. You had a 2-1 cos a lecturer victimized you. What if I told you I had a 2-1 cos I lost interest in the nigerian educational system and just focused on doing things that would earn me money?And I'm not talking about a weak 2-1 here. A 4 point something just like yours. And I'm not having any regrets. Lecturers wanted us to buy handouts and write word for word in other words, cram what is in their handouts. I read textbooks and I never cared to attend their boring lectures. So just move on cos if you keep having regrets it'll impede your success going forward. You're not the first to face this kind of predicament and you'll certainly not be the last! franchasng: 4 Likes |

*sighs* Can somebody feel the envy,animosity,stupidity and jealousy dripping on this thread? It's so thick I could slice and butter some loaves with it. Such emotions pouring out of mature humans almost paralysed me. Now,I know who some people are,just by these comments.
