Cooking beans 10 minutes before your exam? Lmao....who does that?
GPA of 1.0? seriously? I won't take anyone that's got a GPA that's below 3.5 serious.

You mean some people actually scored below 100 in JAMB? Why don't I believe this?

Op Some of your points make sense... however, some others are just bullshit... take for example, I know a certain girl who loves school so much yet she had F-parallel in three consecutive WAEC examinations... She refused to let that stop her though, she kept trying and now she is a student of the University of Benin...

@ Point 3 & 7#

I don't think that is an indication that school is not for you rather, it indicates that your village people have finally caught up with you.

Op, you need a new brain. The one you're using now Is full of poo.

Most of your points are caused by lack of adequate preparation for examination.

Every time I slept in a major examination, I end up having A. Because me sleeping means I've answered all questions and don't want to Futher stress my brain. so your assertion is baseless.
Why don't you summit and go and sleep at home?

Sincerely, if you thought about that joke on your personal statement yourself then you will indeed make a fine comedienne. It's quite funny and savage.

As an aside, Buhari doesn't even have matric number but we all have to take his words very seriously. His pronouncements literally affect our stock market as well as potential fdi which you and I with all our supposed educational attainment can't even achieve.

Great grades in university isn't a determining factor of one's seriousness. If I was to advice anyone who wants to be academic my advice would be simple: get the minimum grades and start learning research and how to publish from year one. Your outputs and publications will stand you out.

Ditto for anyone who wants to work. Start getting your certifications from the word go. By graduation a 2.2 grade with the relevant certifications aso well as cognate experience gained through side shows as an undergrad will give one significant leverage.

Of course my advice is for someone who is in Nigeria. Our educational values are somewhat wrong which lends credence to the obviously flawed assertions by drop outs that schooling isn't everything. Otherwise how can someone be given about 9 million Naira for winning bbnaija while first class graduates and other merit awardees are left to struggle for survival?

My world. You come across as a pessimist. So you expect the fellow to provide you those details requested for on a 'faceless' platform?

Sometimes learn to believe, it will help your heart and make you see life from a different perspective.

By the way, first class is not a big deal at all. Yes it has opened great doors and is something to reminiscence once in a while about, but at the end of the day events after events are showing that it is not a measure of mental acuity.

Guy....
Pls check yourself again.
You only read to pass exams... And that's why you are a first class graduate.
People like you forget everything you read the moment you leave exams hall.
Learned and well educated people don't read to pass exams, they study to know.
You shouldn't encourage others to be like you... Because there difference between reading and studying.

You have written well! However,Great grades in school may not be a determining factor for one's success in life but it sure is a determining factor of one's seriousness with EDUCATION. I will always advise people to strive for the best in whatever it is you are doing. If you are in school, work hard to get good grades. Good grades will surely give you a good start in life. I'm saying this from experience. My school certificates and grades helped put my foot in the door.

As for Buhari, man with no WAEC certificate, who thinks that Foreign Policy success is when you shake hands with world leaders and have your photographs taken with them, I don't take him serious.

We all know that going to school is very good. However, education is not for everybody, some people are better off learning a skill. That you aren’t smart academically doesn’t mean that you aren’t good in other areas. Try to discover your real talent or skills instead of wasting time going when you don’t have the knowledge. This article will unveil to you the signs that school is not for you.

If you are facing any of the following predicaments or challenges, they are signs that school is not for you.

Signs That School Is Not For You

#1 Scored Less Than 50 Jamb

The total score for Jamb is 400. So, if you score less than 50 in Jamb examination, it is a pure indication that school is not for you. Try to discover your real skill as studying is obviously not one of them.

#2 You Don’t Have A Single Credit In Your Waec Result

Another sign that school is not for you is when you have parallel F in your Waec. As a matter of fact, you didn’t even get a single credit.

#3 Cooking Beans 10 minutes to Exam

This may seem funny, but it is definitely one of the signs that school is not for you. If you have ever attempted to cook beans few minute to examination, just know that you are wasting your parents school fees.

As a matter of fact, pity your parents and think of the best thing to do with your life outside schooling.

#4 You Sleep In The Exam Hall

When you start sleeping the examination hall, just know that school is not for you. It is an indication that you are doing something you don’t have passion for.

So, discover your passion and go for it. This is better than forcing your self to study and end up sleeping during examinations.

#5 You Only Read A day to examination

Lack of seriousness is when a student start reading a text book or study material a day to examination. Oh! you think this is normal?

Don’t be deceived, it is one of the most obvious signs that school is not for you.

#6 Your GPA is 1.0 on a scale of 5.0

This one is actually very powerful. When a student GPA is 1.0 on a scale of 5.0, seriously, it is a sign that school is not for them.

How can you score a GPA as low as 1.0 in the University? Are you breaking melon in School? Stop deceiving yourself, go and learn a trade.

#7 Submit Your Question Paper and Take your answer sheet home

I actually saw somebody who made similar mistake during my undergraduate days. the question I keep asking is “How can you submit question paper and take your answer sheet home”?

This is a serious one. But once you start making these types of mistakes, just know that school is not for you.

Thanks.

I'll put a caveat to your write up that good grades determine one's seriousness with education mostly outside Nigeria.

The reason is simple. With the growing instances of sex for marks and money for marks and other instances of graduates who can't articulate ideas or stitch together sentences to construct a flow of ideas and our flawed assessment pattern of 'la cram la pour ', it will be fatal to rely on results as a testament to how serious the majority of students are with their education.

Critical thinking is the core of any serious student. The ability to ask the right questions and possessing the skill to conduct independent research in proffering reasonable answers.

I'm a product of the system for my bachelors but was lucky enough to have been grounded in the art of research and thinking from family and senior friends. The inability of fellow scholars to assess certain fellowships or grants or ace some interviews always comes down to the poor assessment level.

Imagine a colleague of mine saying that his greatest achievement was finishing with a first class! Of course he wasn't invited for the next stage.

For serious opportunities results may not be able to put your feet anymore at the door. Poor thinkers are being weeded using online psychometric and other analytic tests.

I appreciate your perspective since at the end of the day poor grades will definitely introduce some difficulties in the progression path of a person especially in the Nigeria of today having an avalanche of graduates (their qualification or employability may be another research question).
