Sadist training sadists

It's easy if you know book

you'll get first class if you aren't known by the lecturers... i graduated from a school that's slow in marking, so they don't release semester CGPA at end of each semester... i graduated with 4.8 and these lecturers still don't know me till now...

How to make a first class in Nigerian universities

Ten mistakes that can make you lose a first class grade

Hello Fam!
I've been wondering why it is difficult to graduate with a first-class here in Nigeria (federal universities). I was on first-class from my 100 to 300 level. but coming to 400 level, I got an E in a four credit unit course which made me short of first-class slightly. i feel it was an intentional act by my department. why is it like that?
does anyone have such experience or probably heard of any?? pls share your experiences and views on this so we get comforted.

The lecturers didn't graduate with a 1st, so their students won't graduate with it.....no matter your intelligence.

It is just a Nigerian thing PHD, (pull him down). Most hate the progress of others.

They prefer to fail their students...Sadists!!!

In a large class? Yes. In a small class? No. You must be known.

@OP: It varies from school to school. I know of a school where a lad had his marks reduced because he was on the verge of being the first class graduate from the department and a non-indigene at that. Yet in the same school and faculty, a certain department produces first class graduates every academic session. Also, in another school, no first class graduate has been produced in many years in majority of the departments. So the school matters. I'm sure your school is not Unilag. Might be a school in the south south, right?

Additionally, you need to have a good relationship with your lecturers and even students especially if the class is small. I can understand persons not having the "chatty or everyone is my friend" personality, but having a "good morning, good afternoon" relationship can help in terms of how people tend to see you. I've to agree with you that an E is very odd for a first class student no matter how difficult a course might be. At least a C, but not an E. If you can, ask for a remark. But first investigate deeply about the course, lecturer, department and possibility of having a fair remarking process.

Also, you need to understand how a lecturer marks scripts. You don't grade yourself, so it's vital to know how he or she allocates marks and why. Following that process is important as no lecturer is the same. Another thing is that lecturers change marking schemes at their will. It happened to me during my final year. Dude just change his questions' pattern and everyone performed poorly during the tests (which was few days to the exams). I had to spend few days studying his questions and why he had to change them for the exam day and I got an A. You might say it's because I was in a department that had to do with writing, true to an extent. However, I've seen a lass who had a poor mark in a mathematical course because she didn't use the same formula solving process the lecturer prefers. Those who used it passed excellently, those who did not? Failed woefully.

Apply your intuition and understand the department and lecturers. Wish you the very best.

Because dumb ass lecturers were never do wells in their own time and they seek to frustrate everyone else or how do u explain a lecturer saying: he himself that set the question cannot obtain A in the course so who are you a mere student to obtain A in that course.

I was opportuned to partake in training wholly handled by whites! I couldn't believe it when results came out and I scored 100% in some of the courses, I'm talking post university, on the job training oooh! Our naija brothers started shouting racism and the coy was forced to introduce blacks into the programme, guess what?

That was the end of 100% in the program. They came up with their idiotic rants of how can you score 100% bla bla bla........

BlueRayDick:
Lecturers! Their damn stupid ego won't allow them do the right thing.

I must confess my 100l was a little above 4 point, but I was beasting from 200l upwards and it got a stage that B was a rare occurrence in my results. But some lecturers had to show themselves sha.

Today I earn better than some of them that have been lecturers since I was in secondary school.

The joke is on them! I didn't get a first class but Ẹ get some places I will enter and they won't even get to see the door

You should be ashamed with that comparison. You should be better than them.
In as much as I understand the frustration in the system.

Ok

Are you saying you think he got an F?

It's actually easier to get first class in Nigeria than in other countries.

First class is overhyped. Be more concerned about what you carry in your head than on paper. You graduated with a first class doesn't guarantee you success in life. Most First class students are just good at following instructions, giving back to lecturers as they've received. But the real world needs people who dare to do the unthinkable, fault existing rules/principles. This is who you should strive to become.

The gods are wise , when a newly married man decides to sit with the old men for a drink, he ends up drinking the dregs of the palm wine jar, the lecturers actually have nothing in their heads to produce a First Class candidate or student, they resort to sexuality harassment and money for grades, their main aim is not you success but money and sex, and so the gods will give you the dreg of the palm wine so your sperm will be thick and your wife will have good seed for a baby boy, most of the First Class graduates end up in offices and the thirds end up as business men and politicians.

and who says it's difficult

No wonder Sagamite says we're black monkeys. No nation can develop with such a mentality.

it was seriously painful bro. I was so discouraged ehn! but There is God anyway

let me shock you:


first class doesnt put the food on the table in Nigeria. talk less about your grades and more about money spinning ventures. trust me..... i am experienced enough to counsel you.


again..... DON'T spend all the time, energy, youth, and available resources struggling for a first class. a person with a 2.2 and is an expert in anything be it information technology, welding, fashion design, electrical installer, furniture maker, or any skill at all, is far far far far far far far superior to the one with a first class with a pair of cylindrical glasses, polished shoes and has queens English accent for answering interview questions. Nigeria is gradually becoming like the rest of the world where less emphasis is laid on the quality of your grade than it is on the extent to which you have gone granular on any applicable field, capable of either bettering the affairs of a corporate firm, or helping you achieve a stand alone presence in that field.


so please, as you dey read book, try dey enter those lungu for streets make you see how far, how street disciples dey use gather the kpali put for pocket. dem no dey use oyibo take chop bread ooooooohhh.... ehen !

One E will not stop you from getting a first class. I don't think the department intentionally failed you. Tell yourself the truth, did you write that exam very well? You still have enough chances to get your first class. So continue being excellent. Don't listen to these silly posters above me. Excellence is mandatory.

1 E can stop you from having a first class if the GP is hovering around the 4.5 mark. Secondly, my bro was a victim of this exact scenario. He was given a C to prevent him from having at least a 4.5. Fortunately he was friendly with a professor whom he complained to and the scripts of the whole class were retrieved from the course lecturer and remarked. He had an A and graduated with first class. The students the lecturer initially gave As to were D, E and F candidates and their real grades were reinstated.

[quote author=femi4 post=68949360]you got an E. Why do I have feelings that you failed the course and you were probably given an E cos of your level (400) and GP. [b]If you are sure of yourself, you can call for your papers[[/b]quote]
You know it is not possible

yeyerolling:
because the system is garbabe. In my 100l i was on 4.7. As soon as my dept pple got to know me, dat guy dat seats at d back, d one dat doesnt talk to pple, the one with funky dressing , d one who wears chain bla bla bla. Naso GPA begin cut like fufu. 58,59 and 68 bcame my normal score . i just weak

Your course adviser didn't help you.

It's not all departments that love to see students graduate with first class; even if it's 1+1 they're teaching, just know that when they don't want a first class, it states there.
Sometimes you As will be hovering about 75 and below but you won't be able to cross 80.
That said, just work hard and don't be feel bad.
Life after school has been on my mind for sometime now and I believe that's what you should look forward to. I mean prepare yourself.

In Nigeria!!?

Getting a first class is damn easy jare.

You can as well buy it but fvck it who e epp. I rather polish up my skills in IT dan waste my time chasing First Class that might be useless to me in the long run.
