Yes brother, even if na LA cram LA pour,it's hard work

But honestly, we like grading in this country. That you read to pass exams, bought textbooks, have your attendance signed, do your tests, sorted those courses you didn't write well and eventually come out with first class, does not make you first class in the place of work. Employers must look beyond cert grades of applicants to employ them.

I hope these people are not Audio first class. People wey be first class no dey find it too difficult to get job nah..

ModestGal:

Thats one of the mistake I made in my life and still regretting it till now. First class is a waste of time and thoughts. If you are connected, not an introvert, then you have a chance, if you are not, please I beg you, while in university, concentrate on things you can do that would bring you money and make you happy in life. Just make sure you don't go below second class upper.
Nigeria is a failed country.
I wish I did this when I was in the university, I was busy making sure I was doing well in academics, I also registered for a 4years Arabic course which I finished. I wish I knew my advisors were merely myopic, I wish I had concentrated my energy on learning TECH skills.
I wish I had used my school fees to purchase Tech equipment and learn the skills, some of us fall into the category of bad advice. I regret the day I saw my result and it was full of A's in 100level first semester, that was my motivation and every body started telling me I would made a first class up and down, and telling me not to relent. I wish I had relented, but I was stupid to keep pursuing nonsense

One mumu like Olarge think grammar will save him at the end of the day in Nigeria.

Waste of time. U are likely to spot dem during job interview with borrowed suit,fade trouser plus shoes wey don bend/See beta days

don't be jealous,there are also some first class student who are well productive & rich even after putting their certificate aside.

Cryomancer:
Don't be too certain Sir.

Back then in my university days in unilag, we had 2 guys that were the brain behind the class, that even the four first class students in my department look up to them for challenging assignments and they admit they aren't even close to these 2 guys when it comes to knowledge.

One of these 2 guys was on a 2:2 reason being he hustles daily in computer village to feed and also goes to sit for exams for people in schools outside lagos. even his school fees was being contributed by guys in our department because of his generosity. The second guy was on 2:1 because he fell very sick all through year 1 and he didn't even write most of year1 exam, thereby having almost 10 carry over to deal with in year 2.


I wouldn't have believe that some 2.2 can be better than some first class students if I didn't experience first hand in my department

Hope you know some of these 1st class student also pass through a whole lot, even financially?

first class only gives u edge over others
If u Don't have good rapport with ur lecturers/ hod don't expect any automatic retainment.

Please what tech skill can u advise me to learn that will be beneficial to me?

oofjm:
no vex o but are you sure you graduated with first Class? you don't sound like one with what you have written...and on a nutshell which course did you study get first Class?...because to me this days some courses with first Class no even reach some other courses with third class...no be to go to university go study one useless course that is not lucrative nor self employed...

No course is useless brother, not every1 will study medicine, engineer, law or whataview. Having 1st class irrespective of the course is dope.

[quote author=ModestGal post=89391510]
Thanks darling, you can't understand how sweet TECH is for me, and how it can easily bring money on days one least expected. I won't advice you to relent ma, but for me, I will always regret it. Its been long I finished both Bsc and MSC, now I know I wasted my precious life during my Bsc days.




Please ma what skill do you one should learn?

It doesn't guarantee a job but it gives you an edge over others.

@Cryomancer Bro you no lie o i also witnessed it. It is high time people stopped looking down on others just because of grade. That thing annoys God and makes Him elevate those they think they are better off!

Did you later graduate with First Class

Yes. If your lecturers are able to refer you. I know first class in my class that got a job because lecturers referred him. Many of these lecturers consult for companies so they are trusted by these companies

Bilabong:
Yea. In most uni's

Which University? My friends who made a first class in UNN and another in UNIBEN were boldly told, "my friend your mates that made first class 5 years ago are still pending on the list of those to be considered as graduate assistants".

Maybe in a private uni. In those good old days you got a job automatically as a first class graduate in the same University. Not now again dear.

Steve0979:
Is first class degree a ticket to getting a job in Nigeria?

u are supposed to be given automatic employment in ur university

i wish it was o...thats why i no stress myself, i kukuma carry my 2:2 waka commot

superlightning:


There isn't. There never will.

they plenty I know someone,who sorted because he was dey course rep and had 1st class but we dat know him knows he didn't merit it but one can wish him bad

ModestGal:

Why are you answering him. Don't you know that jealousy make them talk that way. Even my stupid classmates would say I'm not brilliant, I'm just good at reading thats why I was the best graduating student. I was the youngest person in my class and also I did another 4years course alongside my bsc degree which I also graduated as one of the best. Some peoples brain is just too dull to understand what they are saying.
I regret ever being in my department with fools, non of them is actually more than average except one girl like that.
I wish I had the opportunity of being among good brains, and smart people. I can't even be friends with any of them since they think backward and those that are okay are full of jealousy or extremely extroverted, so I just packed well as I'm an introvert

If someone think I have empty brain after coming first, out of more than 1000students, and even being the youngest of them all, then that person must be out of his senses

come baby gal how did do you run two courses concurrently in Nigeria?

oyeb15:
yea but not private universities first-class. Infact, first-class get levels...
UI, OAU ,UNILAG and ILORIN first-class

State Universities First-class

Northern Universities First-class

Private Universities First-class.


First-class of private universities in Nigeria is equivalent to 2:2 or third class in university of Ibadan.

Moreover, its those 'Olodos' in the Universities that use to achieve quickly. My olodo mate in school have become Oga in FRSC when am still trying to do recruitment. Infact, he's d one serving us punishment.

Getting good job is connection and 'Ori'. My 2:1 has been self employed since 10years.

How will u get job with this your mindset

Stargurl20:

I doubt if there are first class graduates with empty heads. It's just a myth to water down others. Having a first class comes with sacrifices - not just reading alone, discipline, prayers, consistency...name them
In a nutshell, having first class isn't moi moi

Davido na first class oh. He doesn't have empty head but.....

The free truth I will tell you is landing a job in Nigeria and many other places around the world can only be easy if you are well connected. Put off your introvert life you are proud of.. I will also tell you this truth for free that as an introvert connections will be hard to find for you except you are not doing the searching alone. Become an extrovert in a positive way, attend events, meet new people and see you'd be enlightened better and job finding will become a lot easier and fun.
Cheers

If you have first class and still want to remain in Nigeria, them YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS!!!

Take that good degree, grab a good scholarship, and japa!!!

Nigeria is not for the intelligent.

See lamentations if ill advised woman. Please don’t give up, I was like you too until I found and build my passion.

OJURONGBE1:




Different story for different folks .
In as much as you're sure of your class of degree and competence, you'll pull through.
Here's a story of my roommate in university. He was from the poorest of the poor but didn't let that deter him while studying Chemistry .There were times i wished i have his brain even though we were not course mates but his brilliance, study habits and meticulousness rub off me, i wouldn't lie . He would go on to graduate with a (4.41CGPA ) in chemistry.
While waiting for NYSC call up letter, he took up a teaching job at a secondary school near his hometown of ilishan-remo, Ogun state and used the meagre pay to enrol for ICAN and kept at it throughout NYSC in Sokoto.
He shared how he applied for KPMG Tax Academy 5 months after youth service and asked me to do the same but for some circumstances beyond me at that time , i could not.
He went through the training school , passed and was offered a job in the tax dept of KPMG as an associate . Today, he's an Asst Tax Manager of a Consulting firm in Lagos with additional CITN qualification.
He knew nobody except for the information he got at the MSSN while in sokoto.
I am not disputing the blessings of networking but there are some who do not have access to this and are doing just fine in life .

Same here. A senior in school, studied chemistry and made a first class. From a polygamous home and was running his MSc in a federal university in the south west when he was successful in the recent NNPC's graduate trainee program. Yes, things are changing but having a first class is still a good thing provided there are other high paying skills added to it.
