Lol, e be like I'm the one putting all these for my head, lol..Let me waka


Meanwhile,...



First class degree holders who graduated in the last 5 years (maximum) and looking to pursue foreign graduate studies should contact me. I'm happy to provide guidance. Final call for the year..

Good luck people. First class is still a noble achievement if you can. Don't let somebody deceive you.

sprintscr7:
all this first class graduate that cannot challenge Nikola Tesla wole Soyinka mark zukerberg jean Piaget Immanuel Kant 2face idibia and co...what is the usefulness of first class when u cannot praticalize something all they do is theory book

I have asked your likes to define 'theory'. See above.

If you wish to take the conversation further, let's start from all you saying theory, theory, to define theory

holyboii:
u just day find attention guy

All these boys, you just make conclusions on whom you don't know. Who told you say I dey find attention?

fergusen:
Comprehension is such a big issue...
I guess I need to deconstruct certain words.

Oga, don't resort to passive aggressive insults. If you wish, find holes in other people's perspectives and bring in your perspective

mexxmoney:


See dis one. Do you have any other goalkeeper that will catch for the eagles since Ikeme's sickness has ruled him out? Nigeria should be begging Enyeama to come back and not the other way. That is how South Africa came here to disgrace us with the basket we had in goal. We need Enyeama badly unless you are the one that wants to catch against Cameroon

But what happened to Ejide and the likes?

donbenie:
Goalkeepers are like good Wine,they get better with age..look at Buffon,Enyeama is the BEST we've ever had and still the best we have..Oliseh should be tried for Treason for what he did to Enyeama..

Lol, tried for treason indeed. Una dey exaggerate.

Enyeama, best keeper, respect

gbosaa:


He scored Nigeria's only goal in 2-1 loss to Italy. Del Piero and Fiore ruined our day.

Brazil hammered China 7-0

It was a bad day. My brother lost appetite dat day. It was real!

If we had won that match, we would have seen the final..The other people Italy played - Mexico and Bulgeria in quarter and semi - were people beatable by us. If I remember, e still dey pain me....But I chop sha, my bros no chop

gazilion:
Is that not the Gentle Giant ??

Uche Okechukwu

Correct, you recognised him..I was wondering same until I saw your post. That guy get confidence them..Rufy said he calmed the defence...Mhen, I don;t know why that 1994 squad didn't go too far then. Wow

africo13610:
First class student are always in trouble. But to be sincere, U CANT BRIBE UR WAY TO GET IT. U must have sometin in ur brain den Gid will do the rest for U.

What sort of trouble? As in bad belle trouble?

PrecisionFx:






NIGERIA DOES NOT HAVE EVEN A SINGLE UNIVERSITY.
Just expanded secondary school equivalents... And that's why we are predominantly unemployable.


Wen Nigerian graduates get, the firm that hired them still spend from a few thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions training them.


Don't u know why u see expatriates everywhere u look in nigeria

If you wish to carry the discussion further, define theory.

Meanwhile, that expatriates work in a country does not mean the higher level education in that country is crap. There're many reasons why firms bring in foreigners to work domestically and this cannot be used to gauge the standard of education in a country..

prettyboi1:
Nigerians & the worship of school degrees. SMH. How much has our worship of degrees done for our country? NOTHING...NOTHING TO SHOW.

Nobody cares about your worship of degrees if the knowledge does not translate to bettering real life situations on ground.

You people say this all the time. But a degree is needed to advance to the level where a higher knowledge will be attained to stimulate advancement.

Some will mouth Facebook, Microsoft etc, but the people hired to run these places have degrees from the best universities around. In addition, contemporary research that has led to technological advancement was performed by people who had degrees...In this case, research degrees

PrecisionFx:



Apart from medicals n law, 99% of Nigerian graduates know only theory.

Guy, what do you mean by this? What is theory? Let's start from there. Don't google

PrecisionFx:






Bros this is a Stup1d article.
There are no types of 1st class graduates and luck doesn't help a student to offer 60 courses, score 40 As and 20 Bs.


Ur blog will die if u keep playing this kind of empty n S1lly articles.

Bro, perhaps he had not see it from different angles..He is doing so now. There's always room for expanding views.

DrayZee:

What made you feel they were "poorly baked"?

See how your comment has been made directly against private university graduates. Why don't you like them?
What did they do to you?

Guy, in my experience, what I've noticed is that many people, especially the non-first class, try to make the first class people 'prove themselves' to them, as if this was the reason why they got a first..When the first class people are humble enough to not fall for such childish challenge, they label them as half-baked. Lol

The same way one girl initially looked down on my morgan stanley friend because this guy is too humble and will never prove anything despite him having attained the highest level of educational achievement.

debbie:
let me share my story...Back then in school,there was this girl who was always topping the class...its even surprising because it was one of the engineering courses.She was so keen in getting her grades and coming out with first class..well after the project defense she was summoned by the school senate to ascertain her level of understanding aside the academic grades.....it was a rude shock because she knew nothing else apart from engineering courses.Several questions were asked aside engineering and general life...she couldn't answer well.Her level of understanding about life was so so low.
Well she eventually left the university with her first class....only for me to hear that she spent over 2 years at home without a job.She couldn't fit into the society...she was so conscious of her grades that she didnt pay attention to other aspects of human living.
The last time i saw her in the east....i was not impressed and i felt so bad .

To my greatest surprised,the university didn't offer her any lecturing job as the usual case.
They didnt see qualities in her.

Bottom line....while going after academic pursuit....prepare for life after school and equip yourself to face the world beyond the walls of the higher institution.

People happily mouth stories like this. I wonder what concerns studying engineering with general life. If it was by that, people like us won't go anywhere.

If this is true, I challenge you to introduce that girl to me. This is an open challenge. By God's grace, her story will change after some time.

Go ahead, contact people that know someone that knows her and show her this post. This is a challenge and I expect you're up to it.

pterson:
Are you a statistician?

Used to be. Nowadays, I am afraid to say I read it because I honestly don't know much there again. But yes, I once studied statistics..Many years ago, lol

PhilipGallagher:

Very Wrong.

Let me tell a story...People, listen!! I hope I am not outed, but I just want to motivate somebody today.

There's this guy that graduated after me. He had the best GPA in the history of my department and currently host the best GPA in the entire school...Oh, okay, that 5.00 GPA guy now has the record, I remember..But this guy in question had 4.98..

Some months ago, I was speaking to his former class rep and he told me that the guy was neither on the first or the second UME list for admission. When they were already receiving lectures and feeling fly, the guy would soberly come into the class and would ask him when the final supplementary list would be released. He kept on coming, he kept on asking. As God, the Mighty One, would have it, this guy's name came out on the very last list. He was among the last few people to be admitted. The more brilliant ones, according to the previous poster, had been admitted way, way before him...Anyway, the courses and exams started and this guy, throughout his stay at the university, got only one B..As I write now, he is preparing for his graduation from one of Harvard/MIT, don't want to be too specific. He'll be earning a PhD. And you know what that means in terms of prospects, both in research and the private sector...The same person that was lucky to be admitted into his undergraduate department..

So people, forget any story telling you that your high school determines something. In some cases yes, but you cannot base your hustle on that. Work work work. Hussle Hussle Hussle. Do your best. God still crowns efforts. See, I have many of such stories, but this one is important to share..

Good luck

___________

Meanwhile, I still work with people who had a first class BSC GPA and would like to study abroad. If you meet this requirement, be in touch. It could be you. Many have positive stories to tell here on nairaland. To God be the Glory

TechEnthusiast:
Really I'll love to be a thorough baked first class student.May God help me

Guy, focus on that first class and get it. All other self-development shouldn't affect it and honestly can be achieved later. I do not believe someone will get a first class and not be bright. I haven't seen, though I agree that one first class student might be brighter than the other..

There're still many benefits from a first class GPA..

PhilipGallagher:

Very Wrong.

Perhaps he is generalizing based on his small sample count..Hopefully, he can see other perspectives and update his views if he is someone that cares to see things from many views..

MadKid:
I thought I was going to see something like this by Alpontif

There are first class people, and there are First class people. Real First Class Graduates have had Consistent A level results since there Kindergaten days. They are the ones that had A's throughout their primary and secondary education. They have A's in their WAEC and score between 290 and 380 in their jamb. In other words, Real First class people have academic brilliance in their Blood, and personality..and they usually, without too much effort make Outstanding---not borderline, first class in the University. These are the guys you see having 4.7-5.0...or in some rare cases..4.6.

The other First class guys are the ones who studied extremely very very very hard in the University, just to enter into that First class range, their O level, Secondary and Primary Education results is not usually stellar....and their First class CGPA usually rarely exceeds 4.5-4.59.

The previous First class guys are the True First class people with very high IQs....They rarely fail aptitude tests. The Second class of First class guys, have to be prepared for every test, else they fail it. They are the types that will always be looking for past questions on aptitude tests...which is basically a measure of Intelligence.

One way to know a Real first class guy from a swotter-First class is to ask any of them to teach you fourier transforms years after they have studied it last. Without blinking, a real first class guy will start teaching you IMMEDIATELY...the swotter first class guy, has to go and revise , before he can teach you.

That is how you know First class people, therefore if you are truly a first class material, you do not need to become Jesus Christ before you graduate as a top of the class First Class graduate.

Guy, I wanted to ask what are you saying, but that would be rude, not okay. I actually logged in because of you.

Contrary to what you believe, there are many non-straight A's students in high school and primary school that went ahead to become the best graduating students at their departments or entire school. I have worked with so many people on Nairaland, I've seen many things, personal experience and from the younger generation..Your first sentence will hardly fit real life data if you put it to test. There are very many above average students at primary/secondary school who went on to achieve GPA's in the neighbourhood of what you termed real first class. On the contrary, there are excellent students at primary/secondary level who went on to make a weak first class, 2:1 or even lower. Your point connotes that those making top, top GPA at uni were the excellent ones in high school. Data doesn't support this. You cannot draw the conclusion you're trying to draw. I've seen so much to accept such conclusion..Perhapsthis post of mine will help you motivate the above average high school students you know that they can be excellent at university and get the best grades...


So, average/below average/above average high school students, don't think you can't come tops in your class at university level. Perhaps you were average in high school because you studied wrongly or didn't have the academic guidance that the more privileged ones had. Many students attended secondary schools where all they do is write notes written on the board and many of these students hardly did problem solving sessions, e.g past questions, exercises etc. They were not exposed enough and tried to read and read what the teacher wrote on the board for them to copy. Of course, such students would hardly achieve the grades that befit their academic gifts, even if they are seriously gifted academically..But such students get to the university and it's another ball game entirely. Some of them were even more gifted than their highly performing age mates in other high schools but didn't have the same exposure....I remember in those days in unilag when some brough 8 A1 during registration, lol. We were dodging our own occasional A, more B's and C's...4 years later, another story was told.

At 33,you had unprotected sex with someone you perceived as a player?


Ok oooo, you already know what to do, just als bear in mind that karma is a slimming old bitch

This is judgmental, not helpful or forward-looking. I was hoping I could get some insight into the situation at hand, that's why I brought the news here in the first place.

EfemenaXY:
The first paragraph tells you all you need to know about the authenticity of this thread.

Guy, not everything is fake or nonauthentic.

Not that I owe you an explanation, but I wanted to get helpful opinions here so I could post on our a field forum, https://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/bro-advice-to-worried-broette-im-pregnant-should-i-keep-the-baby/page/2, and drive more traffic to nairaland. Many of these things are real and happening to people of all class, education and etc.

Afam4eva:
As much as i agree that parents should tilt their kids towards what they like doing, i also think it's the duty of parents to guide their kids towards what they feel is best for them.

And this involves being informed and really guiding the kids based on their talents. Not what their friends' kids are doing that makes them successful or what their own friends did that made them successful.

Kamelot77:
33 u are still thinkin of abortin,

Thanks. Let the posts keep coming.

Oga Mods, we still waiting for your might hands. Front page, please!

opribo:


Everybody is doing it with somebody what we dont know is who is doing it with who. So as long as I dont know its not my problem but if I know or catch her I will go my way.

Guy, this one is far from the truth. Not everyone is doing it with somebody. I wanted to give nairaland a break but couldn't just allow this go, hence my response.

I know guys and girls that still fight to be faithful and even reserve the intention to no 'do it' unless under the legal umbrella of marriage. Can we stop generalizing?

Thanks

samdavjustin:
Mr Op here is the honest truth if your friend will listen. In his case there is nothing to do but be patient. It will take two years for his sisters to get her green card and three for citizenship after which he can now divorce her but if he decides to divorce her after her permanent green card then it will take her 5years to gain citizenship. I know because I have been through the system.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I believe there will be more real life answers here than on the forum because most people there are oyinbo people that do not have this experience..

Gentlesoul96:
Sometimes I wonder whether 2.1 we still b of value in this economy as result of how people are coming out with first class

Are you making that conclusion based on this post? Because comparatively very few people made a first class at unilag in this graduating year.

I have already shared this page on nairaland, so the nairaland analysts, well done, keep the debate flowing

oyetpel:

Which op? Guess you didn't know the guy in question is an India, who posted his problem on a blog, but op carry am come NL.

Yeah, on here I'm the OP, but the original guy we are in the same field of a profession but different circumstances...I wanna sample opinions here and share on the other blog to see how to perhaps assist without being dubious about it...The oyinbo guys on that blog are not used to issues like this..

Longevo:

Is polygamy prohibited over there?

In my mind bro, he would have to convince the new 36 year old lady to accept polygamy. Mhen, he might not want to talk and may be the new 36 year old might expose him..You see dilemma..

Na wah, make God help us make we no use hand cause problem for ourselves.

Seunpaul01:


But you can agree with me that it is not all that make first class that worth it. Also it doesn't work for everybody, I don't think they all want to interview her mainly because of her first class but maybe she got problems solving ideas.

Bro, I won't talk outside of what I know. The first class people I know, and I know many of them because I was lucky to get the same opportunities they got even though I am not first class, they are sharp people and possess the good problem-solving skills you spoke about.

Yeah, the young chick is sound.
