Well regarding your last question, grade has helped a lot of people in this country bro. C'mon you know that.

Buh, get to think of it, someone came to the school with the objective of getting a good grade and he eventually did so sucessfully, no one cares how he did it (whether by cramming or not). Mere seeing that, it proves that he has the ability to get things done successfully.

Having a 3rd class on the other hand might indicate a lot of things, most of them been negative from being un serious to a host of other things.

And the hate peeps are starting to arrive. Go ahead and think/say whatever hate speech you like on the 1st or 2.1 guys, your views are yours to swallow. Only in developing countries that you hear, 'Ist or 2.1, are not tickets to success or who 1st or 2.1 epp?'. In developed countries higher results are huge leaps for success except you got an amazing talent.

Don't hate the players but the game. #team1stclass

Bros, your first class or 2.1 can only get you an invite for a job interview and not guarantee you any job. I have seen a person who struggled hard to graduate with very good grade, and landed a job after 2 to 3 month he finished serving. He spent just 15 month on the job before he got sacked by the company. he read accounting but never had experience of working as an accountant. For over a year now he has not gotten another job. Very simple terms in account now is a big problem for him to explain and analyse (debit and credit question) up til now, he has not gotten a job.
What i'm trying to let you understand is that, 1.1 or 2.1 can never guarantee you job except you have something to offer. I swear, majority of graduate with good grades are not in anyway better than 2.2 or third class. They only crammed to pass the exam, and after the exam everything will disappear from their skull. Did you think that kind of certificate can get that person a job? Some wrote exam and pass but they dont know the meaning or how to apply it to real life.
I understand that having good grade is good, but boasting as if is a tickect to get automatic employment is bad

This is the truth. First class and 2.1 grads are hard working individuals right from the onset.

Funny enough most HR executive here on NL are 2.2 or 3rd class grads, due to much envy they refuse to give employment to this category of grades 1.1 or 2.1
Refuse to give employment? Most vacancies are usually taken by 2.1 grads and above na.........

No one hates 1.1 and 2.1 students as much as nairalanders. You hear them say not all 1.1 really deserved their class of degree. Yea, I agree. But then graduating with a FC shows that person is committed, hardworking and ready to use all means necessary in other to achieve a goal which is in it self a redeemable quality- one which every employer would kill for. Or would you rather have someone who claims to be really good but is not hardworking enough to deliver the goods right on time? I'm an FC student. I'm not taking a this stance to defend myself though. I've seen many 2.1 or 1.1 students who couldn't even do a simple class presentation in simple correct English. The same guys are wizards in engineering mathematics and the likes. It doesn't take anything away from their quality and genius.

Everyone can't be perfect. - write or speak Queens English to prove their talent. I just think when someone graduates with a good result society places a target on their back, looking for a weakness to make a meal off. This attitude is in it self umhealthy.

Someone once stumbled on my documents and saw my passing out grade and next thing he was ranting about how no one dead or living has graduated with an FC in the same department in his school. Few weeks later on the news, I watched the best graduating student with an almost impossible GPA from that school march to the podium in flurry of applause.

People would always find a reason to play down on others achievement. While I admit an academic result may not be a true reflection of a person ability, I believe those who managed the feat should not be persecuted but encouraged.

We are all in this rat race together irrespective of our class of degree.

Its just a harmless question and never intended for mockery.

I notice that whenever one mention in his comment that he graduated with 2.1 or first class, he will usually be faced with so many ridiculous and mockery comments especially from those that graduated with 2.2 and below
You will be seeing things like

**who first class EPP

**If they don't say that, they will start reminding you that first class and 2.1 does not give job, connection gives job
**Another thing they say is this, first class ko, 2.1 ni, come to FUTA and know whether you go even smell 3rd class
**Another thing they do is scrutinizing your write-up for any possible error so that they will use it against you to prove that your 2.1 is meagre

**Another set of people will keep on yelling like PDP supporters telling you that most people that graduated with 2.2 are practically better than those that graduated with first class. That first class and 2.1 are empty vessels and robots who are only good in cramming
Who asked you?
If you are as good as you claim, why you no make first class?

Now I ask, why the so much HATE ON FIRST CLASS AND 2.1 GRADUATES?

This world is small, it will not benefit anybody if the hate continues

lets change our mentality and see everybody as one and stop this unnecessary hatred.

But if you decide to hate, na for your pocket.

Now I just have to say this and wait for the backlash (don't care either). The bitter truth is:
1. Though we are humans, created the same and of equal opportunities. We can choose to be king or to be peasants. You don't just stumble upon royalty (1st & 2.1) because of luck but working very hard to achieve it. Failure is easier to achieve than success.

2. There is no path between lion and men.

So if peeps are hating on you because of your achievements then know that they are highly jealous and wish to be in your position.
I remember n 2014 during my NYSC when my roommates saw my degree and from that day I became their answering machine and if I happen to have no idea of what they are saying, then they say'I thought you are a first class grad' and my answer 'I am just a man and not a machine'.

NB: True first class/ 2.1 students are students with exceptional/ adequate understanding of their field, quick to learn, innovative and will replicate their success anywhere in the world. And not a master of all. E.g many great mathematicians, engineers, doctors and scientists are very terrible in English and with bad hand writing, facts.

Modified:
In Nigeria, many graduates are looking for work just for the money and not for innovation. Being ahead of a 1st/2.1 in an interview as a 2.2/3rd is not a measure of your success but interviews are like 'football penalties'. In the developed world, 1st/2.1 are mostly taken because they have a higher probability of working on their own initiatives and they can be very innovative. Reasons why NASA, Apple, Google, media house like CNN, BBC, are all known to have the best graduates working for em.

you wanted to make first class, but could not because you dont have the academic prowess of a genuis needed to make first class, as simple as that
