Unnecessary anger makes a man look depressed sometimes. You can punch a wall or something-just don't take it out on me or innocent persons

FuckBots:

I was honest with you and said your thread was dry.
Explain how makes me angry or depressed.
That someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean that person is emotionally defunct.

pocohantas:
Franchasng, I have seen you make this statement too. Why do you see the need to specify that you nearly made a first class?

franchasng:
all my school mates knew I was a first class student, they expected a first class, I missed out with 0.02 and landed at second class upper, all because I refused to bow down to a useless Nigerian lecturer, so even though it is a second class upper, it hurts knowing it was supposed to be 1st class cos most schools would have augmented it to assist the student and to boost their own school's profile, of what benefit is withholding the 0.02 to them And I am not regretting anything because I did more than what I was supposed to do, I didn't even lived campus life all because of dedication to studies...it is more of anger than regret....anger that one stupid lecturer made me miss it, and waiting for an opportunity to deal with that lecturer or any of his likes in future, call it vengeance, I agree

Most of my course mates blamed me though that I should have just acted like a Roman since I was in Rome, but I am stubborn in such things, I rather lose out than bow to Pharaoh and reason I don't like Buhari too no matter what people say, if Buhari give me an appointment, I will publicly reject it and reject him!!


You won't understand how much it pains until u are in same shoe someday.


What class of degree it is; in student's terms some call it upper 2.1

It has been years na and you say you are doing well. I don't know of any job that is open to First class and not to 2.1. So, it isn't so bad.

I remember when I was looking for my "first job", there was this nearly first-class guy that had his statement of result alongside a printed copy of its breakdown (lets call it a transcript). It reeked of pride and the HR just tore it off.

I understand how painful it can be, but years later when people have moved on from first degrees- one shouldn't be hanging on to such.

Knowledge is knowing what to do and wisdom is knowing when and how to go about it. You should have bowed to the lecturer. You cannot kill a tiger when you are locked up with it in a cage. However, if you are outside, you can purchase a gun and gone it down from outside. The university is their kingdom and territory. No one can touch them.

Anyway, a second class upper is not bad at all. What matters in the real world is if you can get the job done so focus on developing your content and develop expertise. Beside, in many years time, no one cares. Don't let it pain you.

franchasng:
Yeah, in life, your academic qualifications and degrees are no guarantee of success, your success in life depends solely on your ability to apply your God given talent, skills and wisdom to create wealth + the God or destiny factor too.

You are right with your first paragraph I know, but maybe its me, I am stubborn in situations like that, I hate bowing down in such situations unless it involves life and death only.

Any my anger stems from being denied what I worked for and merited, not that my result is bad cos it didn't affect my chances in life though, just an anger of denial, that's all.

Just that it would have been a good one having it stated on the paper so u can tell your kids listen, I graduated with 1st class in one of the most difficult courses in the world, so you have no reason to be dull, and u say it with proof and pride you know, but I can't say that cos its a near miss

Martinez39:
True.

Oh well, let it be a lesson. Chess is like life, sometimes you have to sacrifice the powerful queen to deliver a brutal checkmate. Sometimes, you have to bow to fight another day. It's all about strategy. It would have been better if you bowed, graduated with a first class, and then decided to go after corrupt lecturers since you are an outsider and they can't punish you. Anyway, forget it. Upper 2.1 is not bad.


I understand. You just have to move on and make better and well calculated decisions next time. Let the anger go.

Lol. The regret at what would have been should be done away with. The past is the past. Regrets, anger, and worry about the past can't do or solve a damn thing, it's pointless. So if you are in Tacha's shoes, the weight of regret would have pushed you to commit suicide? Chill bro.

Many people would die to be in your shoes. Though I understand you but your issue, compared to life issues, is no big deal really and I dare say they are vain.

franchasng:
Tacha is the architect of her own predicament, she single handedly used her mouth and uncouth character to bring herself down, so no comparison, but thanks for your concern, its not as if its hurting me like that, that era has passed long time ago, but whenever I read about lecturers or stuff like that, it brings back the sad memories, that's all...its all good sha

franchasng:
It has nothing to do with doing well financially, we are talking about the pride of saying yes I graduated with first class, knowing you merited it.....something you can use to scold your children in future.....something you can use on a campaign ground to shut APC illiterates should the need arise, has nothing to do with money. When you are denied what you worked for and merited, it hurts more than when you obviously failed.


That HR must be a 3rd class graduate, its their way

Some time ago I was having a talk with some friends and the state of Nigeria's educational system came up- then talk of degrees.

One person among us said he graduated with NEARLY FIRST CLASS. I was wondering what class of degree is that. He isn't the first person I would see say such, as I just saw a post like that on NL.

Is it regret or pride? I don't get it,
You are either First class or a Second Class Upper. Deal with it...

Strong 2.1 (High CGPA) helps you if you are applying for a sholarship and your transcripts are requested, some fancy ivy league colleges have Post Graduate admission policies that rejects weak CGPA even if you have 2.1

I graduated with NEARLY THIRD CLASS.

Please what category do I fall under?

Oya 2.1 olodo, shut up when APC illiterates are talking. For a person who should have had a first class gpa, you seem only interested in the status and not much else.

I am your dad, I finished with a first therefore you must do well in school. I finished with a first, so you better shut up when I am talking. Hr must be third class graduates.

For your sake , I hope you have outgrown your ego. It will be a much bigger impediment . Maybe your 2.1 was Life’s way of putting you in check, other wise every other time you will be telling people , I am a first class graduate, so I know what I am talking about, shut up

If I am not mistaken poco is also a first class grad, and she has never once used that in an argument. Ditto for Jarus. I had one intern with a first. Very mellow guy. You would never have known.

franchasng:
hahahahahaha see finishing with upper cut


I will come for your head on this forum, so be at alert oh, imagine the effrontery

ornicus:


Please be gentle ooo
I finished with pass

it doesn't matter bra, my anger is being denied my merit, not that result or degree matters to me at all.


Is it easy to have a first class in Mechanical engineering

He is comparing first class in Accounting and Business Admin with 1st class in Mech Engine.


1st class in Accounting is equal to 2nd class in Mech Engine
