I have learnt long ago never to be discouraged by a denial. We humans are largely myopic, we cry over delays and denials but God sees the entire picture.

The Google brothers once attempted to sell Google to Yahoo at $1 million. But when they got to present at. Yahoo they left disappointed as Yahoo mgt was not interested. Today Google has outpaced yahoo. Some even say Google has kicked Yahoo into oblivion.


When Stanford jnr died, his father wanted to honour him with a memorial at Harvard university but he was denied. That drove him to establish the Leeland Stanford Junior University AKA Stanford University. Today Stanford, though hundreds of years younger is of equal prestige as Harvard.
Disclaimer: there's a lot of controversy on this story.


I know people who were tormented after relationship breakups. Today, they cringe at the thought that they could have ended up with those persons.

While I refuse to say Covenant was a lesser door, studying in the UK is definitely an higher door.

People should always learn to accept denials in hope of something better. If you did your best and were denied then something better is coming!

GavelSlam:
What did you study?

RTSC:
you wan give me work?

I be chemical engineer o.

What a bad belly! Pls did you graduate with a first class? Some of you haven't even seen the 4 walls of a university yet you try to downgrade someone's achievement.

Being able to graduate at all is no beans, especially if you didn't attend a school where you can do copy and paste... First class is never a cheap thing, hence the term first class! It takes so much consistency and the error range is so slim. Even in a plane, you pay triple the amount to be in first class, talk less of graduating with first class at a university.

GavelSlam:
Little wonder.

And now I am lost.

GavelSlam:
Most chemical engineers I know made a First.

Appears it's commonplace.

anochuko01:
And so


Lets just say CU has higher standards, abi?

RTSC:
lol.
The ones you know may be skewing the statistics somewhat.

My set had 4 first-class to over 50 students. And that was the best set in more than a decade.

It is mostly one or two in an average of 50-70 students in every class set.

And I am sure it won't be so different in most schools.

RTSC:
And so? If na America now, I for agree with her sentiment small.

Anybody can get a First Class in the UK including many students currently enrolled at covenant.

If ini umotong can get a first-class in economics while playing professional football, anybody can get it.

So madam, your daughter is not special. She is just not what covenant needed at that point in time.

GavelSlam:
Thanks for the stats.

Now apply the same principle to any course in the UK.

The UK has much better odds. You can't deny that.

It's not a bad thing though. I can't pay all that money and not come out with a decent result with minimal stress.

poseidon12:
Typical Nigerian mindset. A First Class is very difficult to get from any decent University, whether it is Nigeria or abroad.

RTSC:
I already have a First from Nigeria.

Today Stanford, though hundreds of years younger is of equal prestige as Harvard. It's alumni community is wealthier than many nations of the earth and the second highest producer of billionaires in the world. Second only to Harvard.

AreaFada2:
At least in UK we can be sure the lady did not get her first class for sleeping with Nigerian lecturers.

People forget the extra motivation to succeed people have when you leave all family and friends behind to go succeed in another country.

Your mentality has to change as you are on your own. You either buckle up or fall behind. Nobody to help you in any way. Unless you have earned the right to govt assistance over time.

StarUp:
If you get first class finish come still dey do "yes sir/ma" for third class graduate for one mushroom company, wetin you gain?

First class without "class" first, is a mirage.

amaniro:
Delay is not denial even if I know you tried shading covenant university.

GavelSlam:
Better odds or better facilities?

A First is not as you've made it out to be.

Your First would be comparable with theirs.

poseidon12:
Yeah right. Higher standards my foot. The thing is that most Nigerians and Nigerian institutions are generally very closed minded. They rarely look at the big picture. That is why we usually end up with square pegs in round holes.

poseidon12:
One of my typical Nigerians here. So we should all strive for Third Class then, right?

Jaqenhghar:
Whar is shade. Is it not true? Did covenant not reject her? Or she shouldnt say what happened

poseidon12:
Big fat lie, obviously. Someone who is able to get a First Class will definitely acknowledge that it was tough. You must have denied yourself a lot to be able to make it. I very much doubt that RTSC has been through a University or even tried the JAMB.

amaniro:
That's still shading you know. Adding the university name was unnecessary. I wish her good luck but.. heyy what's the fuss about?

RTSC:
No accredited university in Nigeria will give you a First Class for sleeping with lecturers.

It is earned through tears, sweat and blood.

RTSC:
I didn't say it was a cheap thing.
I called out the woman for trying to cheapen Nigerian education.
But it is okay, since you misunderstood me.

Clap for yourself.
