I like your story. I'm not a career consultant but I know one, Stella Owaha on Facebook. She knows her onions.
You might think this is a scam but I'd advice you to just search for her on Facebook. She's a travel/career consultant. She should be able to help you.



Just searched for that name of Facebook, couldn't find it.

Bros, I'm been very respectful when I say this to you. This isn't necessary.

If you have no advice, just keep quiet and maybe...just maybe, you may learn something.

Then there's obviously another reason apart from intelligence why they had a third class.
Just like OP, he's intelligent but yet made a third class. Why?
Some people were not admitted for the course of their choice

Good day all, Please I need honest advices on my career path. I made a third class in economics and applied for pgd management but got admitted to study marketing after I got the Pgd marketing I moved on to study Msc management which I made 4.0 cgpa.

Now I am about to apply for PhD management. The issue here is that I am confused if I will get a lecturer Job since I made third class and I didn't study a particular course from my bsc to PhD level.

Further more, can I get a scholarship to study for PhD with my degree in any foreign university still admitting? If there is, kindly avail me as the schools I had search have closed admission.
Thanks alot in anticipation to your kind replies.
Once you have done your Ph.d, no university will give you stress about your 3rd class. Many private universities need lecturers with sound doctorate degrees.

As for getting a foreign university to do your Ph.d please conduct ample research online, and check the relevant business schools abroad, who can admit you to their doctorate programme, with your qualifications.

Great policy maker, congratulations to start with. Some academics in Nigeria had Third Class and were able to rise through ranks. Some became professors in their various fields. It is important to point out that competition for lectureship position weren't that stiff that's if at all it was there.

Today, given the level of unemployment in Nigeria, almost everybody want to be academic even when they have no business being there. It might interest you to know that remuneration in the profession in Nigeria is not fair. It was in time past that people go into the profession due to passion.

Given the level of competition as a result of unemployment, most universities stipulate 2.1 at BSc ldespite higher degrees.. However, if you have PhD and publications iin high impact factor journal, you might be considered.
There are many private universities within Nigeria, that are searching for lecturers with Ph.d degrees, to fill various positions in their faculties.

I also have a question to ask, sorry to take the mic from you, seeing that our concerns are related. Perhaps I should share mine too.

Please someone should help me out if you've got an idea.

I studied Law and after graduation, studied Political science for my Master's degree.

I want to Lecture on Political science in a Nigerian university. What is the possibility based on the courses I studied?

It is better you go and do a two year conversion programme in Pol Sc. as your first Degree matters in academics. I am talking from experience. You may get a job but it will affect your promotions and rise.

Op,i must congratulate for graduating with a third class, I know it gave u a added motivation to do well in ur PG studies. Just focus on having high impact factor journals, that way it will be easier for u to get PhD scholarship. Secondly target schools in Norway, Sweden and Finland. All d best.

Most times it is the elderly lecturers who made 3rd class that lectured in Znigerian universities.... Funny enough 3rd class are actually very smart people but we have a rough higher institutional system with lecturers who want to fail people as much as they can even for the flimsiest excuse of not buying handouts...our system here is saturated, try researching on other African countries and send your CV& Cover letters...Truth is Teaching is classified under the 'working poor' and its salaries can't be compared to some other professions so, don't expect to be rich per se...I advise you also try to be flexible about your career options as sometimes life may give us better offers via another career path.

I know of a Lecturer in my department in Unilorin then. He has a PhD in Political science and PhD In Law too. This man is also a Politician. A one time speaker of Osun state House of Assembly, Let me tell you also sir, this man is a Professor now. The man carry plenty certificates for hand. Regardless of what you studied, you can. I wish to inform you that Law and Political science are like Siamese twins and I wish to be like that man also, even after studying Political science.

Political science students take courses like Administrative Law, criminal law, morality and law, laws of international relations, principles of law etc. With your background you will fit into the department of Political Science. PhD in political science will be an added advantage. Send

Your marketing Msc covers for your flaws un undergrad. Most overseas application ask of your most recent degree. Dont't be scared to apply for PhD scholarships.

Further more, can I get a scholarship to study for PhD with my degree in any foreign university still admitting? If there is, kindly avail me as the schools I had search have closed admission.

If you have a dream of becoming a lecturer stick to a course not jumping from one field to another
