My pleasure.. and no problem. But man, Nairaland's anti-spambot thoroughly dealt with me because of this thread. Dampened my morale. I had to even buy a domain name and started building a website so I could publish my findings rather than mailing mods upandown. Going forward, I will work on the website so I do things my way. The endless bans were annoying and tiring.

Oops! Sorry about that. Very good idea all round. Well done!

His nickname Corporate Shoe was coined during Sarri era

He was still a bit decent under Sarri. Sarri loves ball playing defenders hence him and David luiz enjoyed a bit of decent run but you see that Conte especially the second season, mehn..

The thing is that no difference between all three. All three are "5min men" when it came to finals with Kdb doing his own twice.

You can't criticize Terry for missing finals then hype Kdb and [B]Kante for not even completing just one half of the finals[B/]

Which final? Cause Kante was MOTM in the 2021 UCL finals.

There is one aspect many people don't realise about first class graduates, it is not just about cramming or being naturally brilliant. There are certain factors involved in attaining such a position. Some of these are sheer determination, perseverance, grit, discipline, motivation, punctuality and being focused. I can never forget the words of the dude who topped my department then: Determination + Perseverance = Success. His CGPA was quite high (what they call strong 2.1., even though the same department had produced a first class). Our sister departments had three first class graduates and they exhibited the same attributes. A similar quote, I recall, was shared by Kachi Tee. Hers was like (paraphrased) "The road to success is tough, persistence is the vehicle you drive in". KachiTee is a UI Law alumna who graduated with a First class and worked at Aluko & Oyebode, then studied at Cambridge University which was sponsored by the Commonwealth Foundation. She got admitted into the London School of Economics earlier but declined the offer when that from Cambridge came in. LSE replied that they understood why she declined it. grin She had 7As in her WASSCE. See the trajectory? That is what I want to know about others. She currently resides in the UK with her husband who is a professor at a business school (they were lovers right from UI).

That's why I shake my head whenever I see some people downplaying the First grads, some grads with lower division even feel they are better off.



A major part of my research would be to extract the names, courses, CGPAs of ALL first class graduates from selected universities. Search their trajectories overtime comparing the data.

While this is true, especially for brilliant and ambitious students (I am from the East), if such students must choose, they should aim at federal universities such as UNN, FUTO, UNIPORT and UNIBEN. I would not recommend Unical and Uniuyo. Even with the region, there exist state universities which are "liberal" with convoking many first class graduates. For instance, Akwa Ibom State University is more "liberal" than AAU and way more than Cross River State University. In fact, AKSU is more "liberal" than UNIUYO when comparing most departments. I use liberal rather than meritocratic since the prevailing belief in the region, just as most places outside the SW, is that by issuing students their merited scores and there is a corresponding increase in first class graduates, first class becomes too "easy" and the department/faculties are not "difficult" as projected. Aka "A is for God" blah blah blah.




Noted. Thanks.


Sure, this is well understood. It was why I was not too surprised Ayodele finished with a 5.0 CGPA. But I commend him because it was in a humanities course rather than numerical one. There are not many first class in humantities' courses. I think Law is the program that tries to buck the trend. Ajoke Omotuyi, the Systems Engineering grad, deserves much praise as she worked through GSS courses excellently and succeeded after five years, rather than three by Ayo.

Yes, you're right. Numerical courses are more difficult to know but easier to get better grades as they are objective rather than subjective. As one who has studied a numerical course before(Maths), I understand better.
For example, 2+2 =4 is same everywhere but humanities is subject to you pleasing the marker.

When the news broke, I followed immediately on Instagram and later on LinkedIn. I recall he stated that he received over a thousand friend requests on Facebook. I even viewed his Facebook page then, but did not send it as I don't send requests to people I have never seen physically or known one-on-one. There were many Nigerians who doubted his achievements and some, ignorantly, as usual, downplayed it. Quite a few raised the question of where is he a few years after his graduation. Which is a good question anyway. It is important we track the trajectories of stellar graduates, especially the first 5.0 CGPA grad. I am glad he succeeded and later got into Stanford via a prestigious scholarship. The second Nigerian (both American-raised and Nigerian-bred) to get it.



There is no university, both public and private as Covenant University had one before Ayodele, outside the South West that has convoked a student with a 5.0 CGPA. I have a manuscript on that topic, which I am yet to publish. The highest I have come across from a school in the East (south east) was around 4.9 something. From the other East (south south), a Nairalander had 4.96 in Plant Biotechnology from Uniben. It beats other best-graduating student CGPAs elsewhere in the region.

Universities in the SW have disproportionately convoked more graduates with stellar grades than anywhere else in Nigeria. In return, this has enabled their grads to excel in the corporate world and academia via lucrative jobs and scholarships/grants. Which begs the question: are universities elsewhere saying they admit less brilliant/clever students than their SW counterparts? That is what my proposed article argues.

However, in the Law Faculty, it is said that the same meritocracy in other departments/faculties does not apply. See more here: https://x.com/The_Barr_OluT/status/1729597179638009875?s=20 So, all faculties/departments are not equal. The same applies to OAU where alumni, including those on Nairaland, have stated that the Geology and Biochemistry departments have vicious lecturers who intentionally ensure students fail their courses. This differs from the engineering faculty, especially those of chemical engineering and accounting where first class is almost like pure water.



Interesting element to the research. This means attaining a 5.0 CGPA is not easy if one gets admitted via JAMB. In other words, those who are admitted via JAMB and graduate with a 5.0 CGPA should be accorded more accolades than their Direct Entries counterparts. I was interested in his JAMB score because his name did not come up on this list. See more here: https://www.nairaland.com/7763389/top-jamb-scorers-where-today
It is a natural reaction to his achievements since these things work in tandem, or supposedly should work. Stellar primary school > Stellar secondary school > Stellar pre-university scores > Stellar CGPA. So, who is the one that came in through JAMB? I think there are four in total, correct me if I am wrong:
Systems Engineering
Cell Genetics and Biology
Ayodele
David Akanmu

I don't know how to quote in segments like you have done, I would have. Yes, a few people downplayed it, some doubted he's that smart. He's very cool,calm and collected. He's very soft-spoken, I followed him to that extent. Before he went to Stanford, he worked in CBN and a few other prestigious places.

I've been following BGS of schools particularly Unilag since 2014 and although I don't have a formal document or manuscript like you, one thing I've noticed is those BGS and other first class usually ends very well. They've gone to work in top places around the world, the ones who chose academia are in prestigious institutions which is a testifier that they knew what they were doing and their results were not flukes. It also gave me a resolve to want to do very well personally.

I don't usually advise students to pick schools from the East and South.

Yes, it's the Systems Engineering lady that came in via JAMB.

Yes, Direct Entries students do better than JAMB because they start from 200 level in which by then you're only mostly doing your departmental courses, the chances of "slying" you is low and you should pass well if you know what you doing.
But in 100 level where you do general courses and you're A LOT, doing courses with about 1000 students or more,you could be given any grade and you can't complain.

D.E students - do 6 or 8 semesters(for 5yrs course) Get 5.0s and become BGS. Of course it's not easy but still easier compared to UTME.

UTME students- do 8 or 10 semesters(for 5yrs course). More chances of getting a "B" as more things could go wrong.

It really does. I like to ask questions so we know where we are coming from, where we are presently and where we are going to. As it is, Unilag is the leading university for grads from Africa to be funded by Knight Hennessy to Stanford. UI and Uniben have one each. One might ask, what about Covenant University? That is because it is a private university where it is expected sponsors of students there can afford foreign education to an extent.

Anyway, Unilag produced the first 5.0 CGPA graduate in the country and has the highest number of such graduates so far. The school has proved itself to be one of the top three universities in the country and I dare say top seven in the entire West African sub-region. It attracts the best from across the country.

More questions to ask would be: what were David Akanmu's WASSCE grades? The same question applies to Ayodele Dada and the lass from LASU who made 5.0 in Law. Which secondary schools did they finish from? What was David Akanmu's JAMB score (Ayo did not write JAMB)? There are many interesting questions which would lead to profound insights about education in the country. When my money is ready, I would sponsor thorough and detailed research to answer those questions. One would be to extract the top JAMB scorers from its inception to date. As it is, I already have the top WAEC performers from a particular year. The top on the list went straight to the US and currently works at McKinsey and Company. From the list, many schools managed by the church, especially those by the Catholic Church, were number one. Just as this year's JAMB revealed from across the country: schools managed by the Catholic Church produced more high scorers (350+) than any group of schools. What this means to prospective parents is that, if you want your child to score very high in JAMB, send him/her to a school managed by the Catholic Church.

Everything would be fact-based with accurate figures, not fat and figos. The era of "dem tell me say" and "I no fit lie give you" has to come to and end.

True of the matter is, it excites me too. I'm currently studying Psychology in Unilag and I've been following Ayodele Dada since 2016. I currently follow him on LinkedIn.

Everything you've said about Unilag is absolutely correct. If you deserve it, you get it. Can't say same for schools especially from the East.

Ayodele Dada didn't write Jamb,came in through direct entry. Likewise this recent 5.0, he came in through direct entry. In fact of all the 5.0 Unilag has produced, only one came in through Jamb.

As you rightly predicted, he got sponsored by Knight Hennessy - a very prestigious and elit scholarship at obviously, a top-rated university. I think he should be the third Nigerian (studied in Nigeria at undergraduate level) and the second from Unilag. Like Ayodele, like David.

Make effort and graduate with at least Second Class upper, then you can apply and likely be eligible to be granted the Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS), I already have it

With it , you can use it to also get the graduate membership of Psychological Society of Ireland. With these graduate memberships, you will be qualified to apply to work as an Assistant Psychologists in the UK and Ireland

Know the pathway you have preference for... Clinical, Counselling, Sports, Education, Health, Forensic, Military etc then hone your interest around it. From my undergrad level, I had interest in how the minds of children work, reason I did my Msc. In Clinical Child Psychology

Thank you for this. I'm following you so I can get useful information when you make a thread or something.

Na ignorance.

Problem is most Nigerian students who are studying Psychology, is more of wetin man for do, it was never their first choice because of Jamb score and fear of staying at home, one more year.

Hence many would graduate and begin to ask the dumb question of what they can do with their degree certificate because they only went through the montions of lectures, copy and paste, cramming etc, never internalized nor stretched their minds

For those serious Psychology graduates in Nigeria, they are many opportunities for them if they are smart. For example, with their knowledge of how the human mind works, they can do some online certifications in memory training to become a memory training coach. We have so many Nigerian parents worried that their children are struggling with remembering what they are taught in school......that is where a memory trainer comes in, with the skills learnt he/she can twice a week offer online video sessions with such young ones and help them redirect how they learn, to become better in understanding and remembering what has been taught....this is evidence based.

Shebi so many of our young ones are comfortably doing drugs, are becoming alcoholics, doing crazy things on social media...in the coming years many rehabilitation centres will be springing up as it is now and we need those who are skilled in mental health as workers.

They should hone their skills in therapy, Nigerians need professionals not social media influencers who claim to be therapists.

My background in Psychology made me a Neurodevelopmental Assessment Practitioner, I use laptops, softwares, cameras to assess young ones for ADHD (Attention Deficiency Hyperactive Disorder) a mix of Psychology and IT.

The field has so many pathways for those who truly have the passion.

Wow! Thank you for this. I know about some of this before anyway, I just wanted your opinion because I was shocked when I got that comment.

Anyway, I'm currently studying psychology in Unilag, in my 2nd year. What advice do you have for me?

Thank you.

Oh wow! Could you give a brief explanation on those courses you mentioned up there as time wastage?

I personally think Medicine should be included among them but you classified it under the one you advise students to go for.

I want to know why. Thanks.
