Interesting! Third class graduates have been using him as an excuse to cover up their poor performance in school. Next they will move on to Elumelu who would not even hire them into juicy positions with their third class degree only.

nextstep:
You're right, doing well in school is not 100% correlation, and we have data points of individuals who have excelled despite their bad grades. However, doing well in school is a very good indicator that you are suited for what you are doing, and that you understand the theory. There are people who don't test well (meaning they understand better than they can articulate on paper, yet excel at practicals or under stress), and organizations need to be proactive about that.

So, in summary, we're not after outliers, we're after a higher average. And if we have a higher average in our leadership pool, chances are we'll have a better country than what we have at the moment.

RIP! Guess she will accept the position now.

jamislaw:
how many of those senators have certificate?

Not many of them do. Which is a HUGE problem.

EVarn:
Though I understand the rationale behind OP's idea..however,I think that such a law would be quite too extreme.
There are bound to be a number of people out there who graduated with a 3rd class or pass,but possess sharp intellect in specific areas.The university system itself is frankly not helping matters; some people cannot just do "la cram,la pour",but the way some courses are taught in Nigeria requires a student to be able to cram as much as he/she can.
In Universities like Unilorin,you can stay on the queue for 5-7 hours under the scorching sun just to write your CBT exam!,under such conditions,you get too tired to even care about the exam questions when you finally get into the hall,you just want to do your exam and get out as fast as possible to get rest.
There are even cases of missing results and disproportionate awarding of marks.
By and large,these arent excuses to justify failure,but it cant be omitted.
What Nigeria needs is a working system,only then will the unserious ones be weeded out.

THANK YOU! This guy gets it. If we had mentally sound leaders, then the problems plaguing our educational system would be fixed.

PublicAssurance:
Rubbish* My driver is a first class OAU grad, and I proudly finished with 3rd class.

Congrats on employing a graduate as a driver. However you are missing the point. You employing a first class as a driver does not make you a suitable candidate for president.

TonyeBarcanista:
You just displayed ignorance by calling leaders like Lula Da Silva "average"....



Mugabe is the leader with one of the highest educational qualifications, yet his country is shitty

Google Russell...



You need to read my lady..

Again, this was my comment 'Many of the examples you stated were average leaders at best e.g Zuma, Amaechi. Take note of the many.

A few exceptions does not make it right. What do you have against selecting leaders who have performed excellent academically? With how bad things have become in this country, we should from this moment on totally scrutinize the achievements of those who want to lead.

gaddafe:
one thing you seem to forget is that a BSc is not a prerequisite to becoming a senator, president or governor. There is a reason for this. Go figure out. The last time I checked, Bsc or its equivalent is not also a prerequisite to becoming a registrar in a federal University.

My point is that IT SHOULD BE A PREREQUISITE! Along with educational achievements we should also look at life achievements. As citizens we deserve the best. It's puzzling why we seem comfortable with school cert holders as presidents and senators.

moblix:
Leadership is not all about grade,so as to destiny.dangote never went to school but he lead well n also do well in business. If u like give country to professor wat is going to happen will still happen. Politics in Nigeria is not about grade,but is full of greedy people

TonyeBarcanista:
Jacob Zuma's highest qualification is PRY 3

Lula Da Silva, the former Pres. of Brazil highest educational attainment is high School, yet, he made better president and impact in Brazil than his flop of a successor, a Russell with intimidating educational and professional qualification.


Leadership is not a function of academic attainment...

Even the Igbo trader in Aba without formal education could make a better leader than a Professor of Economics.

Obong Attah of Akwa Ibom was a successful architect BUT his impact in the remodelling of Akwa Ibom was awful, unlike his successor Akpabio, who is a lawyer.

Rotimi Amaechi, a THIRD CLASS holder of English Language performed more than his predecessor Peter Odili, a Medical Doctor...


kapish

Many of the examples you stated were average leaders at best e.g Zuma, Amaechi. You keep comparing average with poor and making it sound good. There is a direct correlation with good governance and excellent performance in school (with a few exceptions). It would be immoral to obfuscate that fact with a few examples of some average leaders.

Kondomatic:
And people with 3rd class cannot do that? Same as good result

I think the first bank example will answer your question. If you were the owner of First Bank, will you employ a 3rd class holder as CEO?

Joythah:
OP Let me help you... Only first class holders should be recognized in life. They should be the only ones allowed to marry each other so we can have intelligent children who won't write the drivel you just comfortably wrote.

So your understanding of my post is that Only 1st class degree holders are successful? Wow!

SalamRushdie:
I do but I am yet to hear you speak of Buharis primary school cert or Tinubus fake university degree .

It's good you have brought this up. Does my castigation of Dino automatically mean I support Buhari? Please bro you need to change that mentality of 'If you are against A it means you are for B'. The second part of the post refers to Buhari's inefficiencies. If we had elected someone 'better than average' we won't have been drenched in this economic death storm.

Kondomatic:
I know 3rd class graduates that make in a week what many bank managers earn in a month.

You still don't get it. Successfully running a country is not related to how wealthy you may have become. Wealth can be acquired through unscrupulous means. Your mental ability to process information, proffer solutions to problems and apply them decisively is important.

SalamRushdie:
How many times will you be told that Dino has gone on to graduate with a masters degree ..OP I must say you are a very shallow thinker and it's people like you that must be prevented for holding govt office ...

When was the Master's degree awarded? After he has been in the House of Reps for many years! After he has accumulated enough stolen wealth to bribe people in high places! It is obvious from your reply that you still don't understand the post. I feel immensely sorry for you.

Sahara Reporters deserve all the support they can get. It saddens me that some Nigerians support the uneducated thieves in senate. We need to let generations coming know that 'OUR MUMU DON DO'!

obasiken:
OP...Please upload your certificate before i read your post.

I am a 3 pointer. A grade I am not even comfortable with. WHAT about you?

eyeview:
When nigerians voted a First School Leaving Cert holder as president. His principal promised the army that he would write waec, he got the job and never bothered to honour the vow made on his behalf

Exactly my point. We should have never voted a School Cert holder as president. Doing that caused the economic crisis we are enmeshed in.

The ambiguities involving Dino Melaye's certificate scandal has overwhelmed Nigeria's news space. The pertinent reality that only few people talk about is: Either a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria did not graduate from a university or he graduated with an abysmal grade. It is now clear that a major part of Nigeria's  problem is the high number of uneducated and underqualified leaders occupying important political positions. This is unfortunately accompained with a populace that does not seem to care.‎ 
There was a recent thread of a proud third class civil engr Uniben graduate. While we admire the young man's courage to accept his subpar performance in school, we detest the idea that third class graduates should be allowed to occupy sensitive political postions. Nigerians have to realize that: ONLY excellent and qualified employers can make an organization excellent. Political positions should be treated as an important job vacancy and elections should be seen as a serious job interview.  It is because Nigerians don't pay attention to the qualities presented by 'prospective job applicants' and majorly look at tribe, religion or 'Number of Rice Bags shared' that we are in this mess of a country.
Unintelligent people would reply by saying 'Many People with 2nd class and 1st class are not as rich as some with 3rd class? They go on to proffer as an example, a detestable and morally reprehensible creature like Dino Melaye. The obvious answer is 'the ineffectual and unqualified political office holders are the cause of the failed experiment called Nigeria. The high rates of unemployment and wealth inequality are due to exactly leaders of such groups.
‎
Another class of mentally myopic individuals would cite an example like Goodluck Jonathan, who was a PHD holder but was also mediocre as a leader.‎
The not so obvious ‎answer to this comes in the form of a parable: 'Lack of good tomatoes does not mean we should cook stew with sand'. The fact that GEJ was terrible should spur us on to properly screen our leaders (plus political parties) and request for even better qualities. We should not make the mistake again ‎of selecting someone bad just because average did not work out. 
A country of 180 million people demands someone intelligent and capable to run it. Lives and futures are literally at stake. We should not take the posts of the president and senators as a testing ground for failures in school. A successful organization like first bank will not employ a third class graduate as CEO so why should NIGERIANS accept third class graduates (or complete illiterates) as senators?

Is the spectranet device unlocked?

A lot of interesting things happened yesterday. Let's summarize the events for unaware viewers.
Kemen, a former bbnaija housemate, groped a fellow housemate (Tboss) while she slept. This unconscionable act invariably led to his disqualification and subsequent ejection from the Big brother house. 

As usual, Twitter tweeted, Bloggers furiously blogged and Social media reacted. The words 'rape' and 'konji' are flying over the blogosphere. Females everywhere are calling for Kemen's head. Kemen's fellow Akwa Ibom people have rejected and denounced him. It seems his gym business will wither and die. 
Big brother and Nigerian viewers at home have judged him guilty. Therefore he must be guilty. And he must suffer the consequences.

But wait! Did Kemen  see a random girl sleeping and like a man possessed by the konji demon, go forward and touch her boobs? No. The BBNaija show is inherently about promiscuity and sex. The producers and viewers encourage, promote and demand it. The same Tboss has flirted with Kemen, asked him to massage her and cuddled with him. All these are conventional signs that a girl likes a guy. Is it so unthinkable that this same unsuspecting guy would make a move on such a a girl?

Before you pounce on me and tear me apart, I fully agree with you. If Kemen indeed touched Tboss without her consent then he is guilty and deserves to be disqualified. But my questions are: What if this same girl has indicated interest in you, given u greenlight in the past and you then make a move?
What if this same girl has kissed multiple guys in the house. What if this same girl has gone to the reckless extent of being 'fingered' on live TV, in the full view of her parents and the world, by a guy she has not known for more than a month? Did the guy who fingered her ask for permission? 

Few weeks ago, Tboss was getting cozy with a young and handsome housemate called Jon. If the beloved Jon had touched her the same way Kemen did, would Nigerian girls also cry about rape? Unfortunately for Kemen, he is ugly, untalented and unbeloved? He is not a talented singer like Jon. He is not someone many girls would want to touch them. So he is coming home soon in shame and disgrace for daring to touch a girl above his level.
‎
There is a legal term known as 'Strict Liability'. In it's most basic form it means 'If you did it, you are guilty'. End of story. In this case Kemen is guilty but is Tboss completely innocent? You decide.

OP asked an important scientific question yet people are bashing him.
To OP: Google 'post-coital treatise' and 'refractory period'.
Also, mad lust for a girl and not loving her might be a contributory factor (not the whole cause). This is due to no longer needing the girl after being sexually satiated.
