2.2 is bad. 2.1 is the magic you need in Nigerian labour market, because at least you will attend test. In my organisation in 2011 they sacked all staffs and managers with 2.2. It affected even people that joined with experience and people that have worked over 10 years.
The good side is you can go in to a trade or business and build it over time. It's better than working for salary. Initially it will be hard but after 30yrs in your business you will be better of than your mates with 2.1 who are about to be sacked from their places of work and probably will join you in the business world with no experience and a family to manage.

Good evening my good people. Our result just came out today and my worst imagination has happened. I saw my name in 2:2 division, what I have always tried to avoid since my year 1. I know it's my project supervisor that fvcked me up cause he has been hostile to me for no reason. I feel really bad, but that did has been done.

So, I just want to know how bad is 2:2 in Nigerian market? Is it something to count on or should I just move on like I never went to the university??

I need answers please!!

.


You were surprised?
Were you closer to 2:1 than 2:2?

That being said, bro, it doesn't really matter. Burn your bridges. Focus on what you wanna do. Don't give chances for a second option.

I finished with a third class in school. Entirely my fault, I laboured hard, did voluntary work also at some point and even with little pay. While doing that, I kept perfecting being excellent at what I do and I prayed to God. I was lucky to get a link for a job in an oil and gas company and I went for my interview. I got the job, God answered my prayers.

Do not be deterred by your grade, focus on what you wanna do, pray to God, I promise you it is going to end well.

Naija is tough but you can be favoured.

Stay positive

Learning a skill is the way to go

My brother you are god to go. You can even start your MSc and boost your chances of getting a good job. Learn a skill too!!

Well, first, congratulations. It means you are graduating.

Second, stop blaming your project supervisor. You can't head into life blaming others for your deeds.

Your project supervisor didn't stop you from having a first class, did he? So for you to actually move forward, stop blaming others for your mistakes.

Third, in Nigeria, if you have a third class you might actually end up being the CEO of a Fortune 500 Company.

Your grade when you come out doesn't exactly determine your success or otherwise.

First class doesn't guarantee you a job just as third class doesn't mean you have failed in life.

Look back at your mistakes in school that prevented you from having a first class and endeavour not to repeat them. Those mistakes are the only things that can draw you back in life.

I hope you know influential people. That's the fastest way to make it in Nigeria.

2.2 is very bad. Go in to business and try your best in 30yrs time thank me

Lol, so people still depend on the labor market? My guy no look that side at all cuz u no go like am. E beta make you learn 1 or 2 skills and become an entrepreneur. First class gees dey do farming work as I dey folo you talk.

Op photostat this comment. Paste everywhere in your house.

I finished with 2nd class lower 3.44 about to go for service 2020 batch b but I don't give a Bleep cos I've ventured into different business cos labour market sucks.
First class: they will tell u they can't pay you or the boss could deny u a job cos he finished with 3rd class
2nd class upper: they will tell u no vacancy or they employ 1 outta 100 2:1
2:2 they will tell u are low for their standard that they only want to employ First Class or 2:1
The process sucks as it mean I was given my school fees from primary school I swear I will be competing with adenuga or otedola by now but people believe education is the best legacy I also believe so but not in Nigeria

Kudos bro.

Lolz, so people still border about cgpa!!
I have never worried, even while in school(maybe the reason why I didn't make a good grade)



In the end, its what you make of yourself
Because its money we are all after

So people are now judging who is successful based on certificate?

Be you First class, 2:1 or 2:2 or even third class, it doesn't matter your grade. What pays is hard work.

Ok, you come and I asked you ur grade and you say first class, I then ask are you hardworking?

you say yes, I reply, I don't mean just about reading and passing, but energy and strength?

There are three thing many employers need from job seekers :
1. Hardworking

2. Strength / energy

3. Punctuality


When you have these three, you are in. I can't employ you and you come and be claiming first class and be a sisy.


You can start a business or learn a trade.

Most property owners are business men, and not those that work in an organisation waiting for monthly salary.

carry it with pride, u can never say where it can carry you...
Remember the richest does not translate to the most brightest academically...
believe me, how u build yourself and how u work smart determine how far u can go in life not some shitty paper...
even if ur expectations are met 2:1...
u can still suffer without the right mind set...
again carry it with pride...

2:2 is just a grade, what you make out of your life is what matters,back it up with a professional qualification,believe in yourself,be on the Lords side and on the side get a skill. Meet you at the top.

Your supervisor did not do anything bad to you, because you caused it yourself. You had 7 or 9 semester to boost your GP and only the 8th or 10th semester is for your supervisor. So, if you had been serious from onset, your last semester shouldn't determine your final GP... mind you you can serve that burnt dodo to your parents but not to us here.

Shibaraba:
2.2 na mad grade. In the sense that you wey you nearly read die plus person wey just dey play upandan. Dey the same grade. 3.49 and 2.51 all na the same 2.2.

Op be of good cheer. If I had known I wouldn't have wasted my time reading like a mad man. Upon my first class I no dey use am. As I find work e no come, I enter street. And the street bowed to my will.

This can't be the same everywhere... So where does first class start? Is this on a scale of 4.3?

Nigeria certificate is Audio even if you get 2:1 na the same hustle.Focus on what you like God may pick your call.The society now is all about hustle with your brain.even your president have audio waec but na your oga.Bro Reason with your brain you go make m and still elp that lecturer one day.

The question is, how useful is 2nd klaaa upper

PrimadonnaO:
You're just in a momentary state of shock because you didn't see it coming.
But be of good cheer, dear. It's nothing serious. Best believe, there are more persons with 2:2 than there are those who made first class and 2:1.

At the end of the day, what truly matters is what you make of yourself... the value you bring to the table, to an organization. Never slack on personal development. It's everything.
Then pray... and be deliberate about the things you want out of life.

@bolded is very true. The major reason why we keep having people degrading school on this thread.

Take this advice please. What can you do to be an employer of labour? I think that will be better.

My brother got a 2:2 he is currently the one sponsoring the whole family from the proceeds he make from his good job he got with his 2:2 degree.

All banks are açcepting 2:2, prepare your mind. It's not the end of everything. But don't attach your 2:2 to your project supervisor, you have up to 200unit course unit before graduation so how come your 3unit project causes your failure?

biafraisdead:

Don't worry u will go places, 2nd class lower is not a bad result at all, the sky is ur limit. Congratulations to u, I am so happy for you.

People like you have brought sucour to many. Your success begins now

I don't believe in Nigeria academic results at all.
Have two secretary in my office, 1 HND n 1Bsc the Bsc with 2.1 just got sacked because of poor documentations etc.
The HND secretary is very sound so my dear move on with your life.
Its only when you don't have the result you will feel it, have it employers excuses will show

Calm down I came out with 2.2 pure and applied mathematics bro use your head this country is not about your cert but connect ,u be there 3rd class will employ u so calm down

Risingblue008:
So u depend on ur certificate (b.sc),sorry ooo,do u knw d numbers of graduates Nigeria produce in a year?its millions ooo,so u dey just come out yesterday dey cry say ur result bad,see I graduated since 2009, economics ,bt I don forget say I go skool,if no b my handwork, I for don die since,so never depend on ur certificate cos if u do,na O-LEVEL go employ u.

please what kinda handwork are you doing?

post=86360447:
This is one one of the BS we need to change in our nation.

Saner climes don't do this, they give the job to the most qualified.

In Nigeria, in some cases, some people get 1st class or Second class upper due to 'sorting' and corrupt ways of lecturers.

How many make we talk now, it is during interviews you will see some first class graduate 'eleya' (embarrassment!)

#RESPECT to those of us who genuinely got our First Class and 2.1 due to hard work, many nights of candle burning and sleepless nights of reading.
It will end in praise

My friend , it has never happened that a less qualified person graduated with a first class in a Nigerian institution.

We reek of corruption, but you just can't buy a first class in Nigeria. Get your facts right. In fact those that will manage to graduate with first class must have more than paid for it in sweat equity.

Hmm.. Do you have a relationship with God? Your class of degree does not determine your class of success. God is the giver of all good things. I finished with same and God told me I will have jobs that First class candidates can't get. First to be employed in my set even before going NYSC. Think and plan beyond your class of degree.

bluefilm:
Very bad.

I mean, very very very baaad.

Take JAMB again and start all over.

ahan which kyn advice be this?

friday2011:


Y u wiket like dis, ahahahaa, fear God naa

Not being wiket.

Just stating the facts as it is.

I had 2.2 in mathematics and am managing my own busness now , ur grade in sch don’t determine ur success as long as u know the next step . being first class dose not mean u successful in life and any grade in sch is just an edge pls no Dey look down on urself with ur grade .

op grow up and be focus. u will end well with your 2.2. and if you dont like your 2.2 go and burn it to ashes
