You didnt even start with an 'A'= 5, 'B' = 4 Bla bla bla.
You didnt even move up to the GPA Semesterly, yearly and so on.

That has been done somewhere in this discussion.I just gave a tip of how it is done. I worked on assumptions because i do not know for sure his performances at various levels and CU's style of computation, and the number of courses taken by CU's accounting students.So, i expected that you would provide further insight hence you do not believe he would get a CGPA of 4.9.

OBVIOUSLY YOU ARENT INTO ACADEMICS. GO AND SIT DOWN FINALLY! YOU COMMITED A FALLACY OF HASTY CONCLUSION

Only talk, no action. Show us the right thing then or you accept the result as given.

Even if he gets a single 'B' all tru, how many courses did he do?
how many credit load was it?
and what is the total credit load he did? ALL THESE ARE COUNTERS TO THE REALITY

Oga, i leave you to imagine this.

Let me give you this again. This is how GPAs are graded in most schools in Nigeria.

1 unit=6 points
2units=10points
3units=15 points
4units= 20 points

An A=70%.So, someone who made 90% in a course and his mate who made 70% will be in the same grade of A.

So, if you make an A in a one unit course you get 6 points and so on.

Assuming this guy took 50 courses and made 49 As and a B, then there is possibility that he may graduate with a CGPA of 4.99

Sincerely speaking, if you want to learn, i would teach u, for real. so open up.

As a start point the topic of the post misled you especially. There is differnce between GPA(Grade point Average) and CGPA(Cummmulative Grade point average). Hope tis is okay by you?

Teach me, i want to learn. Prove it that it is impossible to have a CGPA of 4.99. I am not interested in his GPA; which is what he makes in a semester or session. He probably must have made lots of As and maybe a single B. I am concerned with his overall performance, reflected in his CGPA. And that is the bone of contention.

OGA GO AND REST IF U DONT KNOW THE ACADEMIC IMPLICATIONS OF MAKING A 4.99 AFTER GRADUATION!

YOU ARE TOTALLY LOST

what is the implication, doctor debtor?

it you that must close your mouth, it is not possible. People talking dont know what it takes to calculate CGPA. To make 4.99, you have to be returning GPA between 4.99/5 and 5/5 every year from year 1 to final year. All these mushroom universities are the problem of Nigeria Education and job difficulties.

I doubt if you really know how CGPAs are calculated in most Nigerian universities.

Ok, oga thx for enlightening me!, shotan? Atleast u can stop the insult nw?

Apologies,

Always make your research or read previous comments before you come to a public forum to write rubbish.

We go school now abeg!, Going by the way I was thought how to calculate CGPA, and how many other schools do it, mathematicall a CGPA of 4.99 is impossible!

Close your mouth. U no go sch sef. It is highly possible to get a CGPA of 4.99/5

Prove what? Is he going to propound a new accounting theory? A good 2.2 graduate can work effectively in any organisation or accounting firm, after all he will still be trained for the job despite his first class.Regarding ICAN or Acca, am sure he will pass convincingly well. Econs and Law graduates win prizes in Ican not to talk of a first class grad of Accounting.

Una think say to make first class, no matter the means, is beans.

The only shortcoming i perceive is that this guy may not be versatile enough typical of first class grads.But when it comes to accounting he won't fumble.

Caution should be taken in interpreting this o! Many things happen and the report said that this guy was cramming and cheating in secondary school, so any sin thing could have happened. Lets wait for him to go out and prove it!

You know that all Moslems are Terrorist

Only that most people I know that made First Class have history of brilliance throughout right from their primary thru secondary schools, and the few exceptions were still above average or clearly had the potential but unserious/unmotivated in their lower levels.

Exactly

My point is mathematically it is damn near impossible, logical reasoning also can't accept this,  Also this is CU we are talking about here, a school that graduates more 1st class students than 15 federal universities put together,

It is possible. I did show that here;

In my school back in the days.This is how GPAs are calculated;

1 unit=6 points
2units=10points
3units=15 points

An A=70%.So, someone who made 90% in a course and his mate who made 70% will be in the same grade of A.

@jarus

it is possible for one not to be very smart at the secondary school level and yet make a first class.Not really an olodo as you put it, but someone with an average intelligence.The difference is that he/she will have to struggle very hard to make it compare to his mates who were very smart at the sec sch level.My secondary sch mate who made a 1st class was never among the best in our class then.

That, my friends, is the real tragedy of Nigerian Educational system I will rejoice the day a Nigerian 1st class graduate become a farmer that feeds millions, develop our silicon valley, build our first car and design our first rocket but until then we will hear in the next 1 or 2 years about another academic feat by a Nigerian student.

Bottom line

@phuck_NL

you don't need to respond to comments like this. I wonder why any right thinking person would assume that smart people are only found in federal unis or their almighty O.A.U.There are smart people everywhere in the world.I didn't go to a private uni but i do believe that there are a lot of smart guys there.Graduating with a 4.99 CGPA is possible contrary to what some folks believe.

Congrats to the young man.What amazes me is his age, he is just 20!

BTW, what is the essence of this criticism? Are you assuming that this guy cheated his way out or that the institution awarded him marks he never merited as a marketing tool?Pls lets desist from this Pull him Down syndrome and encourage other young ones to strive for excellence

He also called for the issuance of licences to those who might wish to operate non-interest banks in line with the secular status of Nigeria.

Exactly what we have been saying for the past 3 months now.


“The Governor of the CBN, Mallam Lamido Sanusi should be advised to stop giving the misleading impression that non-interest banks are going to be set up for Muslims. At the same time the attention of the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Bishop Ayo Oritsejafor should be drawn to Exodus 22:25: where it is written “if you lend money to one of my people among you who is poor do not be like a money-lender: charge him no interest.”

GOOD

Mr. Femi Falana, has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to establish banks for the under-privileged in the country.


Falana’s demand was contained in a letter to Jonathan on Tuesday.


In the letter which was made available to THE PUNCH, he also noted the controversy surrounding the proposed Islamic banking, saying that if it (controversy) was not properly managed, the idea might not materialise.


He said, “Pursuant to Section 16(2)(c) of the constitution which provides that ‘the state shall direct its policy towards ensuring that the economic system is not operated in such a manner as to permit the concentration of wealth or the means of production and exchange in the hands of few individuals or of a group, the People’s Bank was established in 1990 to provide credit facilities for underprivileged Nigerians involved in legitimate economic activities but who could not normally benefit from the services of the orthodox banking system due to their inability to provide collateral security.”


The rights activist made reference to Section 2(2) of the People’s Bank of Nigeria Act (Cap P7) Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, which states that “underprivileged Nigerians include roadside mechanics, self employed plumber and electricians, petty traders, small-scale farmers, poultry and other livestock keepers, truck pushers, petty tailors, dress-makers, barbers, hair dressers, washermen and women, and other persons who need financial assistance to improve their trade and economic well-being throughout the country.”


Falana therefore advised that the CBN Governor, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, and the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, should be careful with the manner they make comments on the controversial banking system.


He said, “Right now, the decision taken a few years ago to introduce non-interest banking to assist economically disadvantaged citizens to run their businesses is mired in diversionary controversy by religious extremists. Unless the controversy is urgently resolved the plan may be shelved to the detriment of the masses.


“The Governor of the CBN, Mallam Lamido Sanusi should be advised to stop giving the misleading impression that non-interest banks are going to be set up for Muslims. At the same time the attention of the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Bishop Ayo Oritsejafor should be drawn to Exodus 22:25: where it is written “if you lend money to one of my people among you who is poor do not be like a money-lender: charge him no interest.”


He also argued that though the need to provide loans to indigent students enjoyed federal legislation, the CBN had frustrated the actualisation of the policy.


Falana said the Federal Government enacted the Nigerian Education Bank Act (Cap N104) Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 in 1993 to provide loans for indigent students pursuing various courses in institutions of higher learning in Nigeria.


He lamented that all efforts to establish the bank by the government had been frustrated by the CBN.


He urged Jonathan to set a process in motion for the reintroduction of the Peoples Bank and the establishment of the Nigerian Education Bank in the country.


He also called for the issuance of licences to those who might wish to operate non-interest banks in line with the secular status of Nigeria.

I'm highly disappointed in the house of reps. bleh

what do you expect 4rm school dropouts? More surprises are on the way.

Our National Assembly should not be taken seriously.They are only interested in their jumbo allowances and are not ready to critically assess issues of national interest. Sanusi on the other hand is a desperado who will stop at nothing until whatever agenda he is pursuing is achieved. I won't be surprised if ''Ghana-must-go'' bags were distributed to the newly elected and hungry representatives. At least, they need money to repay bank loans and other election expenses they must have incurred during the last election.

The pertinent issue in this whole islamic banking brouhaha is, why ''islamic'' and not Non interest banking ?The issue have already been muscled severally here on NL, and various facets of the islamic finance have been decimated.Sadly, non of the members of our house of Reps have the privilege of reading through the discourse, and non bothers to revert to their constituencies to seek their views and disposition on this issue before giving it a head-go.

As it's always the case in Nigeria, ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

( I know someone that joins a company for NYSC in 1998 @ 21 and by 2004 had risen to become CEO of one of the Group's subsidiaries @ 27 yearsa

Boss, fear catch me here o. Just 6 yrs?

This is wonderment

You are already a billionaire. One can become a billionaire either by cash or by mouth.

You are a BILLIONAIRE BY MOUTH @ 26

Your mates at Cash Christ Embassy are all billionaires by faith and mouth.

BTW, how can you think of becoming a billionaire without any concrete plans on how to achieve your goal?What specific product, research or innovation are you bringing to the table?Just know that there is no free lunch anywhere in the world, you must work hard and smart to become a Bironaire billionaire.

adding that the former president “has since been seized by Allah in an answer to the sect’s prayer for support against his aggression”.

This one na another wahala for Yaradua o. Abeg make them allow d man rest na.

This is the most touching story i have read here. I can't just help the tears.

May God guide you brother. You will be fine.

I will dear but l must confess that it hurts n hurts real bad esp when U get to come across coursemates whom U were better dan in sch havn d best of jobs. It puts your resolve to test big tym!

My dear, this part is most painful.But God is alive, don't worry you will hit your ideal job soon.Keep applying.

i will send the stuff now

uys islamic banking is damn good, sanusi is offering us a chance to borrow without colateria or interest

You are right

Sanusi deserves a Nobel Prize in Islamic Banking.He is now the John Maynard Keynes of our time

9ja get people o

Ok, give me ur email ID, i will forward a list of companies and their websites to you.Since you read Econs, i think you will fit in well.Just take your time and apply to as many as you can.

HE Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has said the introduction of Islamic banking into our financial system was “necessitated by the effect of global meltdown that castrated the Nigerian financial system and slowed down the growth of the economy.”

So, after messing up our banking system sanusi now thinks the ONLY way to solve the problem is by islamic banking.Methinks the better way is for him to RESIGN so that a more competent person will take over.

SANUSI RESIGN NOW!

but you wrote this;

Keep trying until you win
