Don't mind them. Even though, standard is not the same across schools, First Class can not be achieved without a measure of brilliance, dedication, seriousness and capacity for imaginative thoughts. Is it not funny that someone who made a third is accusing a First of not being able to defend his/her grade?


Besides,a number of people mistaken First class for being a genius that must know everything, write error free sentences and speak flawless grammar. They even thought First class is synonymous with having superb social skills. That's is absolutely wrong. First Class means you have studied a particular discipline and achieved the highest grade.

Social skills, networking, making friends, managerial skills which are badly needed in work place are learnt not in class but in participating in many organisations, clubs and fraternities on campus. So when they say First Class can not defend their degree, you have to ask them "What do you mean exactly?" Are they more qualified than professors in the subject matter who awarded the degree?

bayooooooo:

sharaaaup!

tnt_hommie: Nice gesture.btw are the first class materials only females?

Samsonferan: Recommendable remark. This is what Lagos state should emulate, not instigating student to demonstrate over the renaming of their institution

bayooooooo:

Congrats the beautiful damsel, I want to say I love you in Jesus name!

If you want to further your studies, all you have to do is take and do well in GRE and TOEFL. You will get scholarships in North America even for the whole of your PhD years and will now use your five million naira to do something else.
