The above mentioned is the only thing giving me depression. I am in 300 level. I am screwed. If I start reading like mad now, is there any possibility that it can boost before I graduate?

At least you are schooling, some miserable tout like Playmaker14 who inherited madness from his parents do not have such opportunity.

He could be like Mark Zuckerberg tomorrow.

He could be like Mark Zuckerberg tomorrow.

A tout like Playmaker14 has no future, he went further to produce another failure and the cycle continues.

Your Go can be low it doesn't matter. As long as your happiness is not low, as long as your desire to make money is not low. That is all that matters, the main reason why you going to school is to make money. That's all.

In the words of China Achebe, the man who does not know where the rain starts to beat him, does not know where he dried off.

From personal experience, coming to the realization of your failures is the first step towards turning your situation around. Depending on how weak your CGP is, you may even require extension(s). Do not be discouraged. Life is not a race. However you must commit to putting your best foot forward. Attending all lectures (including carryover classes) without shame. Read like your life depends on it. While I am not guaranteeing you will eventually graduate with a superlative grade, however you may yet salvage your future.

Years from now, what will hurt you most won't be the low grade you graduated with, but knowledge that you could've done better if only you had put in more effort. That shit will forever cloud your thoughts. Following you everywhere and to every interview like a monkey on your back.

While education as it is presently formulated isn't a test of intelligence, however certificates (and by extension cgpa) are a reflection of an individual's work ethic and ability to work under pressure. Skills that you will be judged on by prospective employers prima facie, before you even have opportunity to be called in for interview for chance to make an impression.

Regardless how far down the wrong path you may have walked, realizing you're lost and turning back on the right path is the first step towards arriving your destination.

It won't be easy. Especially if you're shy or depend highly on the opinions of others. Do not consider yourself a failure. A fish judged on its ability to climb a tree, will forever be unfit for the task. It doesn't mean the fish is worthless.

Thank you very much for the sound advice.
The reason I want my GP to boost was because of employment opportunity in the future. I can make a good and fine impression if called for an interview in person but the grade on my certificate would reduce my chances of getting the job.

I was smart in high school. I had good grades in Jamb. The course I was given by the school to study wasn't the one I wished or wanted. I had no option but to take the offer or else I would have to wait another year before I gained admission. It's not like I was impatient but time was of the essence.

I wrote my 100 level exams like every other exams I've written in the past but was surprised by my failure in most of the courses. I thought I would do better and make up for it in 200 level but yet history repeated itself.

I was quite unserious afterwards because we had a long 'holiday' ranging from covid to academic staffs strike. I didn't spend those 'free' months at home reading. I was 'hustling' (cyber crime). I needed money. I'm from an average family. There were times when things where hard and I was pressured to look for jobs students could do. (Pump attendant) I even carry concrete and blocks. Now, there's a high possibility that I would get a job after I graduate but my GP.. is giving me depression.

My parents dont know how I am progressing academically. I was brilliant in secondary school so, they must have thought I was good in the University too. They're excited I will be getting a job after I graduate but I'm not and I cannot tell them about my failures. It'll ruin my relationship with them.

Nothing will make my ma happy if she finds out. Even if I start all over again in a new school, the pain will still be there, because of the time I have wasted. They look forward to me helping them financially after schooling which of course is a norm but, see my life. If I could pay some money to boost my GP, I would have done that but I cant because my school is strict to the core.

I empathize with your struggles. Only until 3 days ago did someone offer me the proper word for your situation. 'black tax'. You should look it up.

Coming back to the matter at hand, inevitably everyone will know. Unless you think suicide will be the solution to your challenge. All of the challenges mentioned are not new to me. I have lived them all and I have the scars to show.

Time reveals everything and the fear of time unravelling your struggles is currently the root of your worries. No man is an island. Society has settled in pushing parental responsibilities onto the shoulders of kids even before they are ready. I won't dwell too much on that as it is outside our scope of discussion at present.

However you must brace yourself for impact. Nobody cares enough to listen to pity stories. We all have pity stories.

If you haven't already, you should start calculating your CGP and available units up to final year, to know the odds of having an extension. This i forsee may be the hardest pill to swallow for now. In hindsight it may yet be silver lining in your grey cloud.

Unfortunately, there isn't any other way seeing as you don't have the means. Brace up mentally. Those who you may depend on, may turn on you and be the greatest critics of your abilities. But man, know thyself. Trust in your abilities.

I understand disappointment of your early results may have caused mental hindrance to your willingness to study. However, now is the time to study as if your life depends on it.

Too bad if you have to combine studies with side hustles. It's part of black tax. You think you have it bad now? Wait till you get a job and start earning income.

For now, concentrate all your will and abilities towards getting high grades one course at a time. Start aiming for nothing less than B in every course. A is not an impossible grade. But to achieve this, you must work hard and purposefully burn the midnight candle.

Godspeed on your efforts.

Hope no be oau you go? If na oau no worry that school useless and no be dem go determine your way in life, na man you be. You need to figure things out yourself.

I can relate but Don't worry or slip into depression, it will worsen situation. Instead Study hard and make things better.

Keep praying and reading hard. Never stop improving everyday. God will help us all
