Give me his number let me help you. Bro, man up. There is nothing big about it.

It is better to be truthful than lie in order to save your head.

What is the worst thing that can happen? My Lord, Jesus Christ will give you the courage to stand up for the truth no matter what.

How does graduating with a 2.2 CGPA, make you a failure?
Or
Since when did formal education become the true test of knowledge?

Truth is, a lot of factors could ve been responsible for that, not because you are dull..

The earlier people begin to emancipate themselves from this mental slavery in Nigeria, the better for us all.

Tell him that a degree cannot define your life. You don't need a degree to become the president of Nigeria


Take for example, our bubu who used nepa bill Waec


I heard he only passed IRK

2:2 is not a bad result, it's just that most employer of labour would pick 1st and 2:1 over 2:2 for graduate entry positions.


My advice to you would be to learn anything that can give you money..

LOL, that's what everyone thought initially. As you get older you will realize it's far better to do well in school. You think our parents are fools for sending us to school, or shouting at us when we come home with red results. You will be a parent too, the you will understand.


But, for the OP, just think of something immediately, and put in all your best in it, after telling him

‘Dad, your boy is a graduate and I had a second class lower’

It would not give him an hypertension. His disappointment may show on his reaction, but assure yourself, you will make him proud.

Some of your professors graduated with a second class lower. It doesn’t stop you from getting a distinction in your masters or from getting your PhD.

If you don’t get a job, bless God! People became employers of labour because of similar situations, but you would actually get a job.

In whatever you do, don’t stop developing yourself, never have a limited mindset.

2.2 and you're scared? Bro, you can still secure admission for MSc abroad with it. It depends on your CGPA anyways. Moreover, go and get yourself a skill and capitalize on it. Even with 2.1 you might still not be able to get a good job.


Go get a skill and boss up!

Tell him that Nigeria is no longer about your Cumulative Grade Point Average (CPGA) but your Cumulative Personal Intelligence Acquired (CPIA).

I have friends who graduated with 2.1 but they don't have the privileges and opportunities that I have as a 2.2 graduate. Also I know people who graduated with third class and they are doing far better than I am doing.
Infact tell your Dad that Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and our very own White money don't have any degree talk more of graduating with a any grade and they are famous and rich.
Congratulations for making it out of school some didn't make it out.
Get your self together and work smart.

Mark Zuckerberg and the likes were born and raised in a saner clime. Their country is so better that even without degrees you can still make it. Don't compare them to Nigeria settings. Without degree in Nigeria, it's gonna be hard!

There are lots of people in Nigeria without any degree and they are making it.
I am not one of those with the believe that education is scam though.

Sometimes it is not about scholastic education that you have but your talent, skills and then working smart.

I agree with you but I wa just not comfortable comparing Mark and co. with the Nigerian setting.

I used to emphasis on skill acquisition!
