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

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

2.2 is not a bad grade, left the university with 2.2 Economics and Statistics a decade ago. But note this it will deny you of some opportunity especially if you're young and want a career path in most blue chips firms as a graduate trainee.

Depends on the course you studied, I don't think getting a 2.2 is bad. If you majored in the sciences: chemistry, physics, medicine, pharmacy, architecture, engineering, computer science etc. Then it's fine. I think your dad will understand. However, If you didn't, it's not the end of the world. Learn skills, apply for a master's, do certification courses. The world is your oyster. Good luck.

I read tiredly to make sure I make 2.2 and you are here asking ho u will tell your Dad. Grow up and acquire more skills after school. Your 2.1 2.2 3rd class pass can not make you productive in organization but your acquired skills.

What you just wrote is subjective.
In most cases, oral exams are given to all to ensure fair ground and most of the 2.2 students always do better than the 2.1 students. I graduated as a 4pointer but there are some of my colleagues who graduated with 2.2 that are so freaking better.

You're right boss

Ask your Dad for his grade , if he didn't make 2.1...he has no moral justification to badmouth your 2.2

Lol... I had a 3.4/5 which is 2.2. I got over 9 admissions for master degree in both U.S, U.K, Germany.

If you have a 2.1 and during your masters degree application, you can't write a very strong statement of purpose, then you went to school to waste your parents money. Nobody cares about your 2.1 except Nigerian employers.

Some of the best professors today had a 2.2. Without sounding proud, the guys who had 2.1 in my set back then cannot stand side by side with me on a debate on world issues, tech, big data, future tech, politics, government, etc.

During the interviews for my masters degree applications back then, when I start talking, the interviewers either drop their pen to pay close attention because someone (me) is spitting venoms. Blink and I have left you behind.


By the way, you can go to Havard with a 2.2 if you have something in your head to change the world.

Till today, my father never asked me what I graduated with. He only congratulated me for graduating. He knows the boy is bright and degree class is not a determinant of success. Some millionaires and business tycoons had 2.2,some only went to technical colleges.

The funny thing is, most schools overseas focus on your strengths through your academic transcript. For example, if you did well in economic courses, and you are applying to economics related courses, you are good to go. Also they calculate in percentage. A 3.4/5 is 68% and a 3.6/5 is 72%. This shows you that the supposed 2.1 only topped a strong 2.2 with just 4%.

Strive hard to have a 2.1, if not, have a strong 2.2. Your GPA is converted to percentages. There is nothing wrong with having a 2.2,absolutely nothing. Except you have a very weak 2.2. Still a weak 2.2 aint gon determine your life.


Focus on your dreams nigga.




Please, i need your help on how to apply for masters degree abroad.
Re: How Do I Tell My Dad I Got 2.2? by Nobody: 12:10pm On Nov 12, 2021
In my class of 75, only 16 of us graduated 2.1,
2:2 is not a bad result. Lots of smart guys in my class made 2.2 and are very intelligent in many ways. Personal growth is the key, just ask yourself if you have what it takes to achieve your dream and make your parents proud and if the answer is no, then double up your effort now that you're out in the real world, do your best & your old man would be proud of you. Good luck!

Its not a bad result please dust your self and be a better person by proving everyone wrong with what you do with your life henceforth.

My case is an example I studied business administration in naija and finished with same grade but my life isn't stopped there.I started my second degree in cloud computing and almost done with high grade and 9 certifications, my post graduate studies is staring at me already all paid for by myself slow but steady.
If i can do it,you can do it too,that's not an excuse and you can't undo what is done already.

I got 2 2 and my mama don dey tell me to come out wit good result since 200l but me don Sabi say I no fit do pass my sef because na law course i wan study before unilorin dash me edu...
When my mama saw the convocation list and she saw the list of first class in my dept,(zero by the way) and the list of 2.1 no even reach 10, and the list of 3rd class and pass be like ocean, nobody tell her before she hug me and greeted me congratulations for my 2.2

The lesson there is that you just have to tell your parents na 2.2 you finished with, they can't do anything, Las Las Dem go wish and wish and wish, they just have to support you...

Moreover wetin you finish with in school no even matter in Nigeria now abi no be the same Nigeria we dey?

Truth be told , all of us can’t graduate with good grades . 2.2 isn’t a bad grade . True , your dad might be disappointed but dude it is your life ! You will be responsible for yourself eventually. Man up ! The most important thing is getting yourself valuable for this economy . School is over what next ? What do you want to do with your life ? Let make use of one of my big boss @money121 i’m always inspired by him , my boss didn’t make good grade while in school , after school he decided to venture into the construction industry today even the best graduating student of their set can’t stand beside him . He owns his roofing company today worth millions of Naira . Big up the challenge and make yourself better even your dad that rebuke you for having bad grades would be the number 1 person to shout “that’s my son!!!l” eventually !
Grades doesn’t define your greatness
Peace ! .

Tell your dad the truth, ,, so you can be at Peace with your Conscience.
If he complain and try to Chastise you for not bringing in a better result than 2.2,,,,, then just tell him "I'M SORRY SIR."
This is better than lies.
