U wey know book correct am now...or u can keep hiding ur grammatical errors under d disguise of using pidgin

Thank you bro...All these ITK imps!

The Nigeria graduates say they are educated, I say they are decorated irrespective of your class of degree.

Dnt let anyone discourage u.

Pray like u graduated with a fourth class and apply for jobs like no man's business. Very soon something gud will come up.

While doing dt find a small place to start even if its a voluntary kind of job. It keeps ur CV alive

Have you tried making a covenant with God? Enter into a covenant that if God gives you a job,this is what you will do in return....As a convent-keeping God,he will grant your heart desire.It worked for me it can work for you.NB:The battle is not for the strong nor the race for the swift...like somebody said,even in the grave,Jesus is. Lord!

OP HAVE YOU GOTTEN A JOB NOW?

Yes bro, currently applying this. God is our best chance, our green card to success not individual efforts nor a <4.49 CGPA

My dear you are still in a relatively good situation. You have been in the labour market for only three months, which I do not consider long enough to provoke angst or despondency......

As incredible as it sounds, I intentionally did not make 1st Class because I already knew the implications in a country like Nigeria. It puts too much pressure on you and makes it more humiliating when things don't go your way after graduation. I easily made a 'strong 2.1' even with more than enough social life and extra-curricular activities. In spite of my 2.1, I have not been able to secure the sort of job I have always wanted, and I do not think it would have been any different if I made a 1st Class; probably would have been more humiliating and difficult to bear. Countless times I've done well in aptitude tests and interviews, only to later find out that some barely-literate dolts (with due respect) who can hardly string a decent sentence in English got the jobs through their connections and other back-door means. Sometimes when you interact with the characters that get employed in these great establishments (NCC, NNPC, NERC, Nigerian Breweries, etc), feelings of humiliation and sadness overwhelm you because you know that under normal and fair conditions, they are no match for you.

I happen to have a high standard in terms of employment, with a preference for government MDAs or multinational companies. All the small one-man company jobs or bank/marketing jobs that I have come across are just not my kind of thing, so for some time now I have opted for self-employment - earning a decent living by providing niche services with my own knowledge and skills. The income is not bad at all; certainly better than most of these small companies and even banks can pay entry level employees, with plenty freedom and flexibility for that matter. Sometimes I earn up to N100k for a week's work; other times I earn much less or nothing at all during dry spells, but it's all good. I am still looking out for my dream jobs - especially federal government jobs. Unfortunately, class of degree or even competence are rarely considered for these kinds of jobs. You can be a dullard with a pass degree for all they care, as long as you can get one senator or traditional ruler to intervene on your behalf, you will get the job. It's really sad, but there has to be a way somehow, one day.

Bro. How far? Did you eventually land any lucrative job? Just interested and curious.
