remember what happened last year partaining the best graduating student of lagos state university. who was giving about 10mill by the lagos state govt. remember how dem tribal bigots where angry about it because the girl is an igbo girl i guess the same will happen too. na guess i guess ooo

The one about ten million is a law graduate from LASU and she is Yoruba. The Igbo girl who got harassed won a competition organised by the Lagos state government. Then there's another BGS from LASU, this time an Igbo lad, who was equally harassed by Ronu activists. Both are unfortunate situations, but gladly, UNILAG is above such behaviour. Kudos to them for being unbiased.

Only if that would translate to success in life

Over calcu always affect the bright students

Congratulations to him though

Ayo Dada worked at CBN before heading to Stanford. One of the engineering girls with a perfect CGPA from Unilag works at Nvidia. The LASU law grad works at a big law firm in the country.

How else do you define success?

Agugbadin:
The field of study matters a lot, Business Administration is not. STEM and as such is not lucrative as you think.

Lol!

He can decide to work in a big management consultancy as David Akanmu from Civil Engineering did and later head off for his MBA. Meanwhile, David went to Stanford his PhD. Moreover, Ayodele Dada studied Psychology, worked at CBN and went to Stanford.

MBA grads from good schools are well paid provided they get a good job. Just that the visa policies in developed countries get them be now.

Nevertheless, Benedict Umeozor will not find it difficult to get a really good job in Nigeria as long as he can ace 8 out of 10 aptitude tests.

Bolu96,

Where in Unilag is the minting machine for perfect CGPA grads located?

What's the sauce behind the relentless feats? Tell us, ejooooo

What kind of air do Lagosians breathe (all perfect CGPA grads except one studied at universities in Lagos)? The other one is from Covenant, a Lagos effect.

we give you the assignment to monitor his progress. Since you like witchcraft monitor his success

Gerrard59:
LASU, UNILAG and Covenant universities have had perfect CGPA graduates. When will a university in the whole of Eastern Nigeria (as defined by the British) have a perfect CGPA graduate? Huh?

Abi we no sabi book?

UNN and NAU have good grades at least in the past

Gerrard59:
The majority of perfect CGPA holders in Nigeria are Yorubas. The universities, both private and public, where these graduates studied are all in the Southwest. The best universities in Nigeria, both private and public, are in the Southwest.

Majority of women best educated are from the south east.

Godmind2022:
Why did you drop out of OAU?

Why waste time in a broken institution that rewards conformity over competence?

Nairaland has more intellectual honesty than a degree mill charging you to memorize outdated textbooks.

Lol, Gerrard, it's high time someone ask these questions. From the outside, one would think it's easy and they're just "dashing" it but as someone who's in the system, I know way better.

The only thing I can say is universities in Lagos (especially Unilag) operate a merit based system. Their process is transparent right from their admission process; if you merit it, you get it. It's as simple as that.

Just as Lagos is above most states in development, the best of brains are the one applying to the school, the competition is massive(high utme scorers) which you know as someone who follow the trend, so this usually translate to great results.

Most universities in the East and other places are corrupt and still hold on to those archaic believe of "A is for God, fight for C" system.

These are few reasons I can think of.

Kaczynski:

No perfect CGPA from those institutions. And on average, there are more grads with higher CGPAs from Southwestern universities than their Southeastern counterparts. Make I no even talk about South South 😔

Esomchi77:
Congratulations champ
More wins 👏👏👏

Esomchi. I like this name

Thank you for your reply.

Surely, someone or persons will have to conduct studies about the phenomenon. I recalled a tweet showing the gradual rise in the score required for Computer Science applicants who wish to study at UNILAG.

Honestly, this is an area I will focus my past-time and money on.

hope4nigeria:
Business administration is meant for lazy people you can score A without reading

Universities has a way of exposing you to some courses that will break ur cgpa..on my way to becoming a dr..did botany,zoology, sociology, building, law..many of them were not my thing found them very boring to read but to be disciplined to study them and get A just to maintain a perfect Gp no be beans.

LabStores:
Congratulations champ

In this digital age of abundant access to information, anyone who can't graduate with at least 2.1 is a weak person. .
2.1 now is like 2.2 and 3rd class of 10-20 years ago...

Go elect/elect Unilag with this mentality and come back after year 3 and tell us how far .


Never seen anything

na una way always wanting to demean the igbos. i wont be surprised if u haven't crossed asaba b4 but u know all about the east education system i guess that is what your parent or community told you about the east. stop trying to demean the igbos dem no send you.

Why they are angry towards Igbos is not because Igbos are killing them anywhere, not because Igbos are taxing them or destroying their farm,not to because Igbos are threats to them..the only reason is that because Igbos brag about their achievements after giving just 20 pounds to survive... Just because igbos are leading in education in their region.. that shouldn't call for hate or attack towards Igbos, it should serve as wake up call to Yorubas to strive harder.... Positive rivalry is never a crime

Pedyson:
OLOTON, Deborah Isiuwa Is also Biafra 🤔🤔🤔

What's the meaning of ISIUWA in Yoruba??

This is a Very Big Lie.

Why would anyone come on a public forum and make this claim? Abeg o!

None of the public universities in Nigeria, including the 1st Generation ones like Unilag and UNN, conform to "if you merit it, you get it. It's as simple as that." 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, grades are also not bought in Nigerian Universities, right?

And Federal Government jobs are all merit based too?

Anyway make I shut up. What the hell?

Good Luck to Nigerians!

I'm glad I dropped out of oau .

Why bro?

McBishop2020:
While I heartily congratulate all the convocating students, most especially the best of the best among them, I really would like some to explain the difference between first class honours and distinction in Bachelor Degree certification.

I ask because I'm confused in the below:
The number is made up of 617 first-class honours and 92 distinctions, all in the Bachelor’s Degree category, and 502 distinctions in the Postgraduate category.
Thank you so very dearly.

First class is the best grade (4.50 and above CGPA) for most courses, while distinction (above 70%) applies to Medical courses like Medicine, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy etc that don't use first class but instead Distinction and Pass.
