look at you! you think its 2:1, first class that put you in this predicament. I have a friend that's a first class, extremely intelligent even got a recognition from the governor no job for 8 years now!!

a couple of classmates who graduated with 2:2 are working in multinationals.

dude the way is entrepreneurship now cos that teaching you are doing will waste your time. the older you get the harder it gets to get a job.

if however you still insist on job search, upgrade acquire new certifications and skills.

Let me tell you guys a brief story.
When i was in secondary school, i was the best student in my class. I was so good that I represented my school in any competition held.

Going to university, i still had that flare. I was still very serious. I read like a mad person , but due to some factors , my gp was really bad in yr 2 and 3. Regardless of the fact that I studied hard. Other years were good but it was unfortunate i came out with a 2.2 degree. If a degrees were to be given according to your level of seriousness, I would have made a first class.

However, i came out of school thinking that atleast its not like 2.2 is a bad result, It’s average. I tried looking for a job, but everywhere says minimum 2.1. I had to settle for a teaching job which i still do now. I have given up on looking for job because everyone says the same thing. 2.2 has made me believe i am no longer intelligent. People in my family, my friends , my colleagues at work all believe that i am intelligent. But my degree tells me otherwise.

Now here is what saddens me. A friend of mine whom i knew i was better than academically back in school posted a picture of a car given to him by his employer. He came out with a 2.1 (p:s he got that job without knowing anyone in the company,he saw it online and applied).Everyone in the department knew how he always passed his exams. Although i am genuinely happy for him, but I am sad for myself. Do employers think that we 2.2 graduates are totally worthless? Coming out with 2.1 is a nice achievement and many people who got it worked really hard for it but many factors can make a bright student come out with 2.2. I have been teaching for three years now and I sometimes ask myself, would I continue like this? I don’t want to be like some of my colleagues who are way older than i am and still teaching. I am 25.

An advice to people in universities. Do any thing you can to come out with a 2.1. Don’t let that no job thing fool you. Read , cheat or buy 2.1, but do whatever it takes to come out with it. Get it first then listen to the no job story because your story can actually change with it. As for 2.2, there is actually no job unless you have somebody somewhere.

dazzlingd:
Come over it and look at life more positively and you will begin to see things turn good for you. Don't be deceived by the car your friend snapped with, life's bigger than that. Take charge of your life, there are many 2.2 doing very well without any connection. All the best

FunnyDude:
Some people don't have the opportunity of going to school, here you are talking about 2.2 bullshit.



It got to a stage I no more look for a job because I'm not happy being locked down from 9-5.

Registered my company name with CAC recently.

Get that freaking Skill-->Save Up--> Start a business.

You better open your eyes to opportunities around you, till then I wish you success.

The op is really funny he doesn't know that Nigeria does not care about your class of degree.it's all-out connection here.
I graduated among the best in my department since 2015 and concluded service last year may but I'm not even bothered about job because I know the country I live.
My only mistake in life is not taking advantage of my gifting in school to build my future by now I would have been an employer of Labour but I'm working on that.I regretted ever channeling too much energy trying to graduate well.

he would be 29 or 31 by that time. U no dey hear below 27 years of age. Wat a waste nation.

Do not despair, but continually improve yourself as you put your faith and trust in God.

Let me share my story - So I and a relative finished from the same faculty some years ago, and due to several factors including a ridiculous uni policy and juvenile deliquency, we only managed to finish with a pass degree. Of course I was disheartened but we went ahead to serve the nation (NYSC). Soon after, my cousin's dad who was in government was able to secure a job for him with an international NGO operating in our state, despite the class of degree, while I went to the U.K to attempt a fresh degree. Few years later I graduated with a 2.1 (Honours) and immediately proceeded for my MSc which I completed with a Merit. All these cost me at least N30 million in tuition and living expenses as this was when the Naira fell as low as N600 to 1 pound.

Well I returned to Nigeria with my 3 degrees expecting to be the toast of employers, but I kept passing aptitude tests and attending interviews but was unable to get a job due to the Nigerian factor (though i must admit I was initially rather choosy considering the magnitude of my investment) until a month ago when I landed an FG job (through connection not merit) which pays next to nothing, but I accepted as a stepping stone to greater heights (if you know how the FG works).

Interestingly while I was bettering myself for the labour market, my cousin had already married, gained significant NGO experience, and only a few weeks ago got a mouth watering (actually an understatement) offer to join their mission in the U.S based on his satisfactory performance on the job over the years. With a pass degree.

Now is this fair? Of course not. Do i regret my choices? Not at all because the exposure, knowledge and experience I gained (worked in insurance for a year during my masters in the UK) has equipped me for greatness and my faith and trust in God assures me that i was only being prepared for the greater exploits, according to his divine purpose, especially as I am working towards establishing a private practice, amidst other entrepreneurial aspirations.

I hesitatingly decided to share this story but I hope it encourages you, with the knowledge that your class of degree does not ultimately determine your altitude in life, but your divine purpose, God's timing and your hunger for success and self improvement. Stop using your friend as a ruler to measure yourself, instead pray & trust in God, think outside the "teaching box" (get relevant professional certifications, attend seminars for networking opportunities, explore entrepreneurship) and you should be fine. Good luck.

My dear, life is fair but Nigeria is unfair. I graduated with 2:1, but still hunting for job. I regret working hard n denying mysef of many tins to achieve dat 2:1 goal wen i was in sch. No b by good grade ooo. All dos ppl telling u had it bn u av 2:1 are just deceiving u. They can't hlp even if u av first class. I'm a living witness 2 dat. An uncle after seeing my result has promised me a lecturing job 4 more dan 6 months now...i no hear frm hin again. Erase ur mind frm dat 2:1 stuff, if d country is ok, u sudnt av employment issue even after graduating with Pass. Nigeria youths are just affected by Economic problem. Just pray hard n hustle legitimately, its gonna b well. I'v bn trying many tins which none is working at present, but i bliv i will smile at last, once i dont stop. Every hustler gat a pay day

Brother I understand your plight. I am in your shoes.
I Grad with a 2.2 (3.41).I also couldn't secure a Job. Funny enough we were only 5 that could graduate in our Five yrs of srudy in school. I was among despite missing a whole semester. I applied to University in Canada my dream country I was denied because I didn't have a 2.1,I applied for DSSC NAVY I was told I did excellently in the exam 2016 but I was not selected because Navy doesn't take 2.2( Mind you I went for NDA interview in my 100level that was what spoilt my CGPA as it clashed with my second semester exam).I struggled to pass even though the Best Grad student in my Dept graduated with a 4.00.It tells you they were naturally not Fair to us.
Anytime I am giving opportunity I have always proved my intelligence. Immediately I graduated from school I beat my contemporaries in a competition organized my Chevron. I was only given 200k and an I pad
I am not even disturbed.The Best in my class recently chatted me up and told me I addressed some people recently and I told them the best person among us actually had a 2.2.Therefore be very strategic in your Academics.

Lucky me I am not depressed like you are, I have little support as I am not from a rich family.
What did I do
1) acquired skill .Now I am a good programmer and I develop apps
2) I source for information. Information is power. as bad as my degree was I am about to bag a scholarship with it.
3) I \ I can upgrade myself. I applied to another university ( though private) and I was given another course in January and I was placed in 300level.I have completed that session.I will finish the program next year May( that is if the scholarship didn't even work out)I am glad to inform you I am on a 4.67/5.0 scale.So BGG May 2019 I will also call myself a first class Grad.Mind you I can defend it anywhere as I read a hell out of books to prove people wrong.



In all cases look for opportunities within what you have.
I am happy I was awarded a 2.2 because it has made me expand my capacity. It was a rough experience though

Don't let life circumstances change your honesty... No Matter how much you study not everyone will pass.


Probably God has a choosen path of success that you have not known yet.


Just pray to God concerning your situation and he will guide you.
wow i love this


Note: It might also be a spiritual problem(battle).

Anyways just pray.
