She should convocate with her mates, snap pictures, let her mom come if she wishes then afterwards she can tell her dt her name didn't come out for service dt she failed some final year courses...u know, dt she least expected she'll fail those courses period...face d shame now but vow to do better in future, may be go for a second degree in another course..

Re: My Undergraduate Friend is Depressed About Her CGPA by brade: 2:13am On Apr 10, 2012 |
she should just use her first year gpa to transfer into any of this private schools. Covenant and Igbinedion will be very hard to get into. But she should just go and try lead city in ibadan or redeemers i Can assure you it better for her to loose those 3 years and gain a better grade than to graduate with 3rd class or pass. Some first class are still looking for work. |

School is challenging, thankless, and takes true dedication. She needs to first speak to her academic advisor, then her class dean, then a counselor who can handle the emotional stress this must be causing her. Talking to her family must happen as soon as possible, but speaking to advisors first may help her navigate the situation. Before she talks to her parents, she should have a solid plan of how to improve her grades and graduate. Most schools have counseling, tutoring services, and other study help materials. To be honest, it sounds like she picked the wrong major. Did she pick something she was interested in or was she pressured into something she doesn't like? Damage control may involve retaking failed classes, taking easier courses like languages, asking for extensions on assignments, and speaking to professor directly. A private tutor may be necessary. I know every school is different, so my comments can be taken as seriously as they are relevant to your friend. |
Re: My Undergraduate Friend is Depressed About Her CGPA by linearity: 5:46am On Apr 10, 2012 |
With 1.48 CGPA, I am even more surprise that the School have not kick her out since. The chicken have come home to roost. As for graduation, she can either tell her mom that; she had to take an extra course or she can go meet tailor sharp sharp make them make the exact graduation gown to be worn that day....afteral, there are no roll calls in many graduations. When her mom comes, they should take pic, celebrate, etc....the next year..she can return to school to finish her course...and tell her mom that, she is doing post graduate dimploma. |
Re: My Undergraduate Friend is Depressed About Her CGPA by blank(f): 7:22am On Apr 10, 2012 |
She should try and enter 1.5 which is third class. With 1.48, that is a PASS, as in she will get a certificate of attendance. She should start learning how to make hair, tailoring or how to buy and sell. That is the reality of the Nigerian job market. 1 Like |

Many of you people laughing came out with a 2.2 o, its okay for you but for another person its failure Abegi make una leave that thing, she can still make a 2.2 if she's willing, she's in her final year right? Truth is depending on the school she could increase that cgpa drastically,in my time my final year percentage was 40% and I got a 4.92 and that amazingly allowed me to get sometin good out of the university,if not for that final year , I no sure say I for even dey nairaland now self, so my dear, u got 1 last chance to make it right, at least so it would enter a 2.2, even if you come out with a third class don't worry, delta state goverenment was ruled for 8yrs by a thirdclass person, u r a lady, yu won't have any problems, if u were a guy then there's gonna be some although it does not follow!

She must have devoted her time to other things she may have considered priority. She should pick one of those favorite pastimes and develop on them. Perhaps her talent ins Pinging, Pimping, Pumping, Pulling etc. She should just pick one and "Ride" on it. You can always make it with your passion. I know a couple of talented ladies who own posh apartments in VGC & 1004 Estates. They were focused working thru the night while their mates slept.

Amaka G29: Madame the school I attended they say is the best right now in the country,but class dean no dey o,there's a dean bt he hardly attends to issues like this, the academic/course adviser you r talkn about have little or no interest in students with low cgpa, they consider them as unserious so they never listen to them or spare some time for them except the elite ones, then the councelling department I don't know if you r talkn about G&C , I'm not sure it existed in my school, even if it did I'm sure 98% of students did not know the location of the department, this is naija, let's wake up, ur advice is not bad o, bt right now the only person that can help the lady is herself. |

Re: My Undergraduate Friend is Depressed About Her CGPA by brainchild78(m): 9:29am On Apr 10, 2012 |
first & foremost you need to encourage your friend to let her parents know the truth. Concealing something that will eventually be unvieled does not solve the problem but rather it delays the damage to come. 2ndly, you have make your friend become aware that some of the most successful persons in the world are far from being academic or have not even finished university. A prime example of our time is Bill Gates. 3rdly, your friend needs to personally build up on her self confidence and do away with what other people think about her. Lastly, your friend should consider being self sufficient through self employment. There are some suggestions on this in the weblink in my signature below. cheers! 1 Like |

Despite the fact that i played a lot in school, i even missed some lectures cos of my interest in chess game, i still narrowly missed a first. And i must tell you, the excuse of having sadists as lecturers ain't reasonable. She should use this as a lesson, graduating with a pass now is far worse than graduating with a 2.1 or 2.2 say in four or five years time. |

Everyone keeps yapping about Bill Gates . .. i don't think he had a 1.48 cgpa before dropping out. @ poster, it's already done. No use crying over spilled milk. Starting over seems like the best way out. Rib crackers 1.48 out of 4.0? she should just move on with her life; coz ther's not much she can do for now IF she wants to do the right thing.With a 1.48 cgpa, I doubt she'd have money to buy any bed to pick up. 1 Like |

All hope is not lost for anyone who is truly determined. She might as well start up something on her own. The truth is that University education is not for everyone. There must be something your friend is very good at. It's not until you get a job in a company before you know you're successful. She can learn/develop skills in catering, event management, fashion designing. A lot of the people whom we celebrate in these areas never saw the four walls of a university. All you need to do is to be disciplined this time and give it your time. She may decide to go for another degree later but not immediately because she needs some time to prove to herself that she's not a failure else she'll go into school again still with a battered ego and failure mentality. 1 Like |
