I experienced this first hand during my M.Sc oral interview in 2013. The names they called my previous school was disheartening, primarily because it was a state school in an area comsiderd academically less developed.
They pushed the narrative further by telling me that, my 2:1will be a very low 2:2 if I had my first degree in their school.

Well, when the interview began, they didn't know when they started clapping. In the end, the guy who had his B.Sc in "wawa" state, had the highest score(82%) and topped his M.Sc class.

Ivimmanuel:
pls what's funny about the name, how does Chukwuemeka odimegwu ojukwu university, sound or ondo state university most of these state owned universities are new and will get better with time and appropriate funding. You guys need to stop been sarcastic with everything.

The Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom is HE Udom and he's the Akokite, not HE Ayade of Cross Rivers state who is a Uite.
Good morning sir.

Respect55:
If you are still using "am" instead of "I'm" as a graduate, you surely deserve worse treatment.

Caseless:
This is how we all think - my university gives the most stress, tough questions and tough time.

In your own myopic thinking, people in usman danfodiyo university are not intelligent, you are. Northerners don't "know book, only southerners do"... As if Usman Danfodiyo university is only attended by the Northerners. Why are the southerners there not making 1st class?

I thought you were going to call one serious university, only to see you name that Headquarters of cultism and citadel of criminality as the university to measure intelligence of others with.

The fact that cultists graduate from your school shows how the lecturers compromise to get them free landing for fear of their lives. Is it not UNIBEN where have lecturers giving mark or grades in exchange for sex? You have cultist lecturers and all, and you think it's still a great school to score cheap points with.

It's a compromised system. Anyone can do better there. How are sure your marketing course, no be tidy you take run am? Una still de buy lecturer handout and material sha

Imagine two applicants for a job interview.
One from Gombe State University and another from University of Ibadan.

What was I saying sef?

Which University did that vulture griller finish from?
I want to confirm something.

Fundamentalist:
It depends on how you present yourself . I attended a state university by even PhD holders from so called federal university can't stand on the same podium with me . You need to know your onions and have self esteem. Don't ever think someone is better than you. A pharmacist students are been taught same curriculum nationwide

Trash!!!
Beautiful in what sense

Structurally??u think just that makes a school beautiful??

How bout their research work??

BTW.........have u been to other state universities to know its the best in Nigeria??

Who gave the rating??

Coronabirus:

I know u have another university in mind, who did ur rating?
I was talking abt beauty and no university from the category I mentioned can match Gombe State University. You're talking abt research but u can't make simple research with comparison that can prove my verdict. Fortunately, I've been to nooks and crannies of Nigeria, have seen a lot but someone who might never set his foot outside his zone is arguing in pain and jealousy.

Go and research a little....

Not because is the best??
Why didnt he pick either lasu or yabatech then??
They still both in the same Lagos nah......

edoairways:

Do you know personally? . Do you work with him?

FairlyUSEDpussy:


Oga......try get my point nah....

Attending unilag had give him more sense of pride.......than any other institution in lagos......

Simply because unilag is the best here........and has enough successful alumni to show prove.........

Gerrard59:


That's not true. The minimum grade required in those companies is 2'1, so no chance for a third class graduate regardless of the grade.

Gerrard59:


It's not low key but a standing policy. Access Bank does not recruit from most state universities. Only LASU and a few other state universities.

udeh3:


You just lied... I've been with NNPC since 2015, nothing of such existed and will ever exist. Infact, I entered with my HND. The minimum is an upper both with the Polytechnic or University, except for lower with a master.

I've passed through firms built on standards and I can tell you, the school you finished has nothing to do with you getting the upper hand in an interview.

edoairways:

Attending Unilag didn't do anything Mr. That man is good. Ayo Makun aka Ay graduated from Delta State University yet he has achieved alot. You got to understand that the school you attended has no relationship with success. This is one of the lies sold to the public

udeh3:


So, where's the so-called Access Bank in the rating of Banks in Nigeria?

Cognitivereason:
True..ur comment is more of an encouragement... But the reality is what am asking about.. We know of the HND discrimination but....
When it comes to having a BSc from a less competitive school probably from the north..despite having a 2.1 or better..can that person be looked down on compared to those from competitive schools...

I ask cuz I have heard of such and I don't know if it really a thing in the Nigerian society..
In engineering for example despite the fact that it almost same syllabus in all fed of state university... A 2.1 graduate from FUTO or FUTA might be preferred over a 2.1 or even first class from let say taraba state university or so...

BOOOMNAIJA:
Well, all I can say is that if there's a job opening in nnpc, Exxon Mobile, agip and d likes, and a 3rd class geology graduate of oau applies for d job with his contemporaries with first class from other universities, that oau geology graduate would definitely av an upper hand and would be considered before d others

FreeStuffsNG:
@OP.
Since you want a sincere response, please don't let anyone decieve you o, the calibre of university you attend matters. It's not only considered in Nigeria, it's done all over the world. In some countries and even here in Nigeria, even the calibre of Secondary school you attend matters too.

While it is true that in reality, we can't all attend high calibre universities but for university education, in particular, do not settle for less . If you have what it takes to attend high calibre university, please go for it. Those attending and finishing from those universities do not have two heads while some folks did not make those universities because of poor preparation and some of the kind of low quality advice you are being given here.

I always advice that in Nigeria, work very hard to attend and graduate from the the first generation universities of UNILAG, UNN, OAU, ABU and UI. In Nigeria, it is these 5 universities and the others. Shikena!

Just by reminder, just look at the array of alumni UNILAG is parading in this picture in 2021. 4 out of 6 governors in the SW are from a single university; University of Lagos (UNILAG) and someone is suggesting to you that it's a fluke? 3 governors from the SS attended UI( Edo, Delta & Cross Rivers) and one governor finished from UNILAG( Akwa Ibom). And even the Governor of Anambra state is an alumnus of UNILAG!

I know organizations that hire from only those 5 and most of them are leaders in their industries. Top consultancy firms particularly get talents from these universities. Have you not wondered why the best graduating student in UNILAG this year was already in Shell?

If you can, please attend only among those 5 but if you can't for first degree, attend them for second degree. By the time you graduate from any of these 5, you will know the difference. Those who didn't attend those 5 high calibre universities can't advice you that it doesn't matter. They want you to settle for less.

Same South West that I am doing my second degree?
Thank God I came down to South West.
People say what they don't know or hear say.
I did my First Degree in a University of Technology at North. And is way rigorous.
I am topping my class at the moment.
Many of my friends have secured competitive scholarships in USA, UK, GERMANY and China etc.
