lollynil:
with the number of first class students some private universities produce i wonder if i wouldn't have had one coming from a federal university.
just last month i read in the paper that Convenant University produced 89 first class graduands (BTW i wonder aw many students wre in dat set in total, probably 200 maximum ) n i see their product in my office n wonder how dey made that result.
corruption is truly eating at the educational system, i believe SKILLS are better means of selecting qualifying candidates and not by results!
i hope our employers will learn!!!

I WONDER TOO! But hope this your post wont raise an unending argument? lol

if you make a first class and being good you are offered employment in the oil giants would u come to be a lecturer?

Pls dont say wat you dont know. the statutory requirement by NUC FOR G.A is 2.1 and above + enrolment in MSC. Above this level it is M.SC+ Enrolment for PHD. Or PHD. even in the state unis it is so. Except they dont want to be accreditted.

MOREOVER PASSING A TEST ISNT JUST A QUESTION OF LECTURER BUT INDIVIDUAL TOO. Thats why it is called APTITUDE TEST.

in my school this guy made first class after 8 years of none-first class, but one giant snatched him. we simply allowed him work for a while in about 2 and half years we offered him scholarship for m phil while we employed him as a lecturer. initially he refused , but he has no option. but i bet you not all schools can be this bold. FIRST CLASS MATS ARE MOSTLY FOR CLASSROOM IN MY SCHOOL

Rastamann:
Many of these universities are just collecting money and doing the right thing. In our days you have to be extraodinarily brilliant to make a first class but nowadays every Joystick and harry make a first class by "settling" their lecturers. Imaging Nigeria having about 100 universities with no qualified lecturers. Many of these universities rent lecturers for accreditation and never bother about the quality of their certificates. How can a B.Sc holder leacture and undergaduate student and we still expect the best from such a student? Why will a student not get good grades when a lecturer borrows money from his student? Why will a student not get a first class when his (student's) father buys a plot of land for the lecturer at Lekki or Ajah? why will a student (female) not make a first clas when is can willingly open her laps for lecturers and other adminstrative staffs, who end up manipulating and changing her scores from the master sheet? etc.,
Oh men! there are a lot of probems in Nigerian universities and not unitil we are dedicated and do the right things, the situation will keep getting worse.

In a lighter note, tests such as the NNPC test involves general questions that require a good common sense (which may not be common among these graduates) and are not directly taught in these universities.

bennie1980:
I challenge NNPC to make the results public.

LMAO . Hope u didnt fail sha!!

dramenda:
he was meant to say 80% passed. , ,but seriously,am telling you no first class or second upper student will fail NNPC text.trust me.weting dey inside the text?since they know what is @ stake for them,they will prepare well for it.many thanks NNPC  for devalueing our future leaders.BOKO HARAM here they come.

WAKE UP BRO! THEY KNOW NOTHING, THOUGH NOT ALL. MY 2.2 STUDENTS OF THE PAST ARE WELL PLACED TODAY THAN FEW OF THE 2.1 , BUT HEREIN OUR FIRST CLASS MATERIALS ARE USUALLY OKAY. ONE FROM MY DEPT PASSED APTITUDE TEST IN 3 BANKS WHILE IN THE NYSC CAMP. GOT TO KNOW HE SCORED THE HIGHEST IN ONE SO HE CALLED ME TO ADVISE HIM. AND I SIMPLY TOLD HIM; 'YOU ARE A CLASSROOM MATERIAL, WORK FOR A WHILE AND COME BACK OR WE WILL COME FOR YOU TO YOUR OWN DETRIMENT. HE SHUD BE A G.A BY NEXT SESSION

Kayus43:
Seconded !

NOPE! IN BOTH SHUD BE USED. ANYWAY! NO NEED SUGGESTING COS I AM SURE NO COMPANY WILL EMLOY U WITHOUT RIGOROUS APTITUDE TEST AND INTERVIEW. SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS MENACE.

^^^daddee has a very valid point o!

All the same, it takes more than just cramming to earn a 1st Class; You still have to be good, even if its at cramming or is cramming that easy?

I have noticed too that Second Lower people tend to be "all rounder" in later Life.
Not brilliant but not too dull, they are very determined to "prove a point after graduation" and tend to buckle-up real good.

Some fell to 2nd-lower not because they are not good but because they played-away during those early University days (and you know, G.P.A once destroyed in yr 1 & 2, is ten times more difficult to rebuild!).

On the other hand, "some" 1st-Class" may take it easy, after school thinking their Certificates should speak for them!

If l had to hire, which will l employ? 1st Class or 2nd -Class?

I will judge them by their "present attitude" to work, keen-ness, flair and intuitiveness.
The work place is a different ball game entirely!

BTW: Those organizations that screen-out 2nd Class students dont really know what they are missing!

Yes it is true to alarge extent. THEY COME OUT ANGRY AND DETERMINED TO PROVE A POINT. AND THEY ARE ZEALOUS AND TAKE THEIR OPPORTUNITIES AT ONE GO. KNOWING IT MAY NOT SHOW ITSELF AGAIN. BUT THE OTHER PEEPS(2.1, 1ND 1ST CLASS) THINK THEY HAVE MANY OPPORTUNITIES.

[quote author=Brand_new link=topic=736777.msg8935030#msg8935030 date=1313496380]If i was an employer, i wouldn't hire people based on their qualifications. Most of the first class graduates we have in Nigeria are mainly garbage in garbage out. No innovation, they lack ideas and have absolutely no clue at problem solving. All they do is read and pass unfortunately, that does not apply in business or enterprise. They only belong to the academia.[/quote]I agree with you. BUT A FEW HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TOO.

I have seen a junkie claiming to have schooled abroad but having nothing up there. Then i realised that money can do 'anything' at times. cos i guess he had the pay and advantage to have gone out.

Sanusi Lamido, CBN Governor
More rescued banks risk nationalisation if their shareholders refuse to approve their Transac-tion Implementation Agree-ments (TIAs) with prospective investors at extraordinary general meetings, the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has warned.
The corporation said it is determined to protect depositors by all means.
Afribank Plc, Bank PHB Plc and Spring Bank Plc have already suffered a similar fate as their licences were withdrawn by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) after they could not reach recapitalisation agreements with investors.
The Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) subsequently took over the defunct banks and created three bridge banks which were immediately acquired by AMCON.
Explaining this on Monday in an interview with THISDAY, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of AMCON, Mr. Mustafa Chike-Obi, said he hoped that the few shareholders still resisting the recapitalisation of their banks by new investors would be sensible enough to approve their acquisitions.
Failure to do so, he explained, would mean that the five affected banks would have their licences revoked by the CBN and handed over to NDIC, after which the bridge banks created from the exercise would be acquired by AMCON.
Following a joint stress test undertaken by the CBN and NDIC in 2009, the apex bank had intervened in 10 banks, whose capital bases were discovered to have been eroded through the mismanagement of the institutions by their former executive management teams.
The banks were Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, Oceanic Bank International Plc, Intercontinental Bank Plc, Unity Bank Plc, Equatorial Trust Bank (ETB) Limited, Bank PHB, Afribank, Finbank Plc, Spring Bank and Wema Bank Plc.
The new interim management teams brought in to run eight of the banks and their shareholders were given specific timelines by CBN within which they were expected to recapitalise the banks. The first deadline was June 30, this year, but was pushed forward to September 30 by the CBN. 
By the end of July, four banks – Intercontinental, Oceanic, Finbank and Union Bank - had executed TIAs with potential investors interested in acquiring their banks, while ETB signed a TIA with Sterling Bank last week.
The five banks are currently working towards getting a court-sanctioned order for their acquisition and approvals from both the shareholders of the institutions and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
However, Afribank, Bank PHB and Spring Bank could not reach agreements with potential investors, compelling the CBN to revoke their licences two weeks ago and hand them over to NDIC, which immediately created bridge banks that were bought over by AMCON.
Commenting on the five banks that have TIAs in place, Chike-Obi clearly stated: “If the shareholders don’t approve it (the TIAs), CBN will have to revoke the banks’ licences and the NDIC will bridge the banks.
“If the NDIC bridges those banks and if NDIC approaches AMCON to recapitalise those banks in the interest of depositors and employees, AMCON will do it again. So it is up to the shareholders to approve it. They can get something or they (the banks) go through the bridging process.”
He said that he was aware of several of the comments being made by shareholders and that AMCON was being made to appear unsympathetic to their plight.
He, however, added that without being sentimental “those banks would have been liquidated two years ago. NDIC has liquidated many banks in Nigeria in the past and shareholders had lost all their investments in the liquidated banks”.
“But in this instance, the CBN and NDIC thought they could keep the banks alive, so that the shareholders could recoup all their money back in the future. That went on for two years and they were given two years to recapitalise.
“But they failed to do so. In fact, the initial deadline for them, when I came was June 30. The CBN extended the deadline to September 30 and still, investigation was made by appropriate authorities that those three banks could not make it,” he said.
Chike-Obi said by procrastinating over the recapitalisation of the banks, the shareholders had lost their investment because the regulators had a fiduciary responsibility to protect depositors of the banks and employees.
“If we had waited till September 30 and they failed to recapitalise, what do you think would have happened. There would have been a run on the banks by September 15, and the banks would certainly have been liquidated, which is worse for depositors and employees of the institutions who we have to protect,” he explained.
The “bad bank” boss argued that AMCON also suffered losses in the defunct banks from their nationalisation, saying that AMCON was the largest shareholder in Afribank, Spring Bank and Bank PHB.
He said AMCON had over 80 per cent stake in the defunct Spring Bank Plc, over 45 per cent in Afribank Plc and also had about 14 per cent stake in Bank PHB Plc, which according to him, was the largest single shareholder.
“So we have all lost our investments. But we are happy to say that depositors didn’t lose their deposits and the employees didn’t lose their jobs. When companies fail, shareholders generally lose their investments. It has happened before, it has happened again.
“When Bears Stearns failed in the United States of America, shareholders lost their money. So in this instance, once the banks were bridged, the shareholder lost all their investments.
“I challenge any shareholder group, to bring the money AMCON put into those banks. And if they do and they are cleared by CBN, they can have the banks back.
“I am more than happy to sell it back to them at any point in time, if they meet CBN requirements. But they had two years to recapitalise those banks, but they made no progress and everybody is complaining that we didn’t give them six more weeks,” Chike-Obi stated.
He also revealed that the corporation would from next week, start interviewing financial advisors for the three recently nationalised banks, so as to facilitate their sale to new investors.
He stressed that the corporation took thorough legal advice before taking the decision on the banks, adding that the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), was fully involved in the process.
According to Chike-Obi, the mandate given to the newly appointed managements of the three new banks was to run the financial institutions and make them successful, “so that AMCON can sell them as soon as possible and recover as much money as it can”.

Take it easy Bro!

Be straight to point and clear

aserena:
Well considering the fact that there is favouritism and victimisation of students in our universities, I agree with the fact that 2.2 and below are sharper than these 1st class and 2.1 candidates.

On the other hand, will you blame them? It did not start today. It has eaten deep into our educational system, right from primary to university levels. If they had been taught that cheating is evil, then they would have worked hard enough to be able to defend their certificates. Little wonder why large companies give greater priority to graduates from overseas.

What should be worked upon, first of all, is the corruption. Then we can take things from there.

God help Nigeria.

I agree with you because i am in the academic line.
The issue boils down to corruption like you said, BUT most of these 2.1 or first class arent that good APTITUDE WISE, and that is waht the aptitude test teaches. I have a couple of dem that cram and deposit, but u never can deny them the marks.

But the 2.2 i belive come out with a feeling of disadvantage wanting to prove a good point which they eventually prove and has proved in this case
