I don't think God ever distance himself I think we wander away until we realize that we are nothing without him.




Thank you for that, you put it better for me, At least we have people that speak our heart even here. God bless you

Are you contemplating on the importance of graduating with a first class degree? These are five reasons you must graduate with a first class degree.

1. It places you ahead of your mates.
There are over a thousand and one person in the same field with you. Graduating with first class set you apart from them.

2. It increase your chances of getting job.
I believe you will agree with me that it is no longer easy to get a job in Nigeria. An anonymous even said "seeking for job in Nigeria is a job itself" and that is the obvious truth. This is more than a reason you must graduate with a first class degree. It eases you the stress of searching for jobs. Most entrepreneurs would love to have brilliant people to handle their works and this opens a humongous door for first class graduates.

3. It makes your parents proud.
It is the joy of parents to see their children doing well especially in the area of academy. You need to make these sacrificing parents glad by coming out with a first class.

4. It makes you more connected.
I have come to know that one of the mightiest key to wealth and greatness is CONNECTION. You can't afford to do without it. Graduating with a first class degree will link you with different great people who are magnetized with your excellent performance.

5. It makes you popular.
There is a popular saying I so much like. "Success has many parents while failure is an orphan". No one likes rolling with failure. Everyone likes being a friend of the best students. I can sense you like to be the man of the people.

Even though, the song on campus. Don't be wearied, just do good to graduate with a first class degree.

You are so on point OP!
All your points are very correct... Only a First Class graduate that worked hard to get it will understand you better than you've highlighted.

It's a pity most people fail to realize education doesn't guarantee fortune, it only creates an avenue... There's more to being successful!

#Meanwhile, it pays to bring out the best in whatever we find ourselves doing...

To think that wole soyinka left without one and he is honored o, and there is gani (SAN) I am not sure otedola did and our current president did not go to uni too fa and Alison maduweke probably didn't tuface idibia definately did not, not sure he took the exam... my point is it is not of him that willeth it's of God that showeth mercy. Am not saying one shouldn't work hard with their academics just don't think too much of what u can do think too much of what God will do.the earth is of the Lord and the fullness thereof...

The argument people put up against excellence here is why Asians: Chinese, Singaporeans, South Koreans, Japanese and others will remain ahead of us.

Are we happy with the current 9ja system of mediocrity and long leg? Should we not start striving to take 9ja to where our fathers and grandfathers failed to reach? Are we happy to perpetuate the rotten system we have now? Should we not start pursuing merit & excellence in whatever we do? shocked

wear whatever mood you deem appropriate for a verbal tussle, you will gasp for breath if you dare near my threshold. he wasn't talking to you too. Neither was he being a braggadocio. Respect excellence and encourage people who are on the verge of enacting a great feat.
have a nice day

Mtcheew, First class crammers!



"Exam is not a true test of knowledge, IQ no be by grade" - Anonymous
First class crammers? I'm not quite sure about that. Graduating with a first class has never and will never be about cramming. What will surprise you funny enough, is that most of the people you have wrongly dubbed 'crammers' don't read as much as others. Rather they understand what needs to be learnt, first time round and routinely revise things over, some(most)times in their head grin

It's good to graduate with First-class if God helps you. I remembered when NYSC wanted to do posting, All First-class graduates were posted to serve in University in the city where everything is hpnin while the rest were dispatched to the villages.

They don't have it, they are not even striving to have,they will always beef and discourage those who have it. Always putting up lame arguments for their inability. No one is saying all your life in school should revolve around having a first class,but if you can strive to have it,why can't you just do,what is paining all of them is they don't have it. And only a true connoisseur appreciates the value of a gem.

Na wa o. I was at university with people from most of Asia, Europe and North America. Most tried to be the best. None condoned excuses. It made for a very stimulating environment. I confirmed what teachers in 9ja told us back then: work hard and excel here at home and you will excel in ANY university anywhere in the world.

I wonder what happened to that 9ja Can-do spirit. Even if you end up just missing out on 1.1 but at the very least you tried your level best.

ewwww. having some else blow your trumpet is highly unhygienic.

I don't see it as a boast. I think he was just trying to prove a point . . . that he's just enjoying himself, and that is all that matters.
Re: 5 Reasons Why You Might Want To Get A First Class Degree - EDUREGARD by Nobody: 7:34pm On Jul 11, 2016
I don't subscribe to any of the points. As far as I'm concerned, having a first class means that you understand the course you went for.
of course, there are several other factors, but that should be a general rule.
