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.

My brother, I still don't know how I ended up here to be honest. Even the ones I use to teach made 2:1, like I'm just dumbfounded. I don't know what exactly went wrong, although I know who caused it but I have to leave everything in hands of the almighty. I was never a dull student and never will. Those that don't come to class, those that used to play at the back and all sort of unserious students all made 2:2. Like what the hell now is the difference. I feel really bad. Though I haven't seen my cgpa but I'm sure it's not anything less than 3.4 something.

Yankiss:
Bros, if u can help it, go get a master's degree. If u can't, look for work or do some stuff like business or entrepreneurship. U aint lost, you have a very bright prospect. I know many 2.2 who turned out better than the firstclasses. Believe me, it's all in you, it depends on how you see it. Anywhere u are applying for job always include your CPGA beside 2.2, it helps as well. Are you aware that the famed and cerebral lawyer, late Chief Gani Fawehinmi, was a third-class product? Are u aware that late Chief F.R.A. Williams was also 3 class? Where were the first-classes of their respective era? Good luck.

Thanks bro

Bro,did you graduate from Uniben

My Dear It simply shows that you are an average student .
And mind you you can always back your 2.2 up with so many certifications as much as you can lay your hands on as well as a Master in any degree of your choice .

Let me give a little story about myself .
During my school days i tried as much as not to come out with a 2.2 only for my H.O.D to give me my first and only F i had all through my years in the Institution.
I had to walk up to him to ask why, only for him to say i had a clean shit and needed to dent my results . Finally i finished had a 3.48
I knew how i cried when i left that office but a little thought came to me like a voice saying "its also your fault cause you didn't put in more effort and started flexing at a point in your life in school" so i smiled and swore never to be poor in my life since education has failed me .
After my service years i had to drop my degree and hustle like a jss3 drop out.( Yes JSS3 drop out ) and not allowning my degree define my life.
Now i own a company with employees of a mininium of 2.1 .
The first class are like sand in my company and you need to see how i make them tremble when i enter the office even with their degree and knowing they are older than i am cause they know they have no choice due to the job security in our society.

Note: i was never from a wealthy / Rich home but i had a vision and knew where im heading to.

So my beloved i can't even tell where my degree is now meanwhile , i have travelled to places where my best graduating student of my set in my institution could ever think of travelling to.

My dear hustle like a drop out and always put your hustle in prayers.
Allow the Supreme being perform his perfection in your life but don't relax like those with good grades .
Thanks

Thank you sir; I really appreciate this piece.
Just that considering my pedigree, I was just hoping to start by getting a job to raise some money. I already have viable business plans but no cash to develop even from my 100l. I have tried to get a loan to no avail. I was just hoping on this to get started, but right now, it seems that I've lost it all. I have to redefine my plans and start all over again.

It's not easy though but I'm not giving up.

You call it rubbish? Reality hasnt dawned on you. Keep believing. Employers are more interested in your deliverables than that A4 paper called certificate

It would be quite rare for a first class graduate not to deliver in his field unless he bought the certificate.

Given a choice between a first and a 2:2, a first has more chances.

Lol....I am a Lawyer, last year during the recruitment of lawyers in a top law firm in Nigeria, a first class law school graduate was rejected and some with pass was given an offer.

Unless our curriculum receives a touch of life to reflect current realities, academic qualification will soon lose value unless for a few professional courses.

What's the name of your supervisor?

How many first class and 2.1 did you guys have?

I believe they considered other factors like eloquence and oratorical prowess.

Nevertheless I still find what you said doubtful.

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 saw your name in 2:2 keh ...have you not being calculating you CGPA before this time ? There is no labour market again in Nigeria so to say . Get skills and sale them

Has always been above 3.5 bro. Just this last one, and I thought I have a good result. I was really shocked

Pstsam0408:
2:2 doesn't matter. Prof Wole Soyinka has 3rd class.

Woke Soyinka has come out to dispel the insinuation that he came out with a 3rd class. He clearly stated that it is 2:1 he came out with.

Cheer up, grade matters when there's no grace. Pray for grace and think of what u can do on ur own. Formal education is just provide d avenue of opportunities. Bitter Truth is that what u need to survive is about one-hundreth of what u learnt in school.

Laslas, education nah real scam for ds our country.

pls I will like to have your number, I really want to discuss something with u. Pls quote me with Ur whatsapp number pls

It is well.

People came out with 2.2 and they are making it in organizations esp. financial institutions. I know good number of persons that made 2.2 studied sciences and got banking jobs without having connections, and most of them now are at the managerial positions now.
Banking sector, is (if not) the most easiest organization anyone can have easy access to getting a job.
Prepare your CV, pray, study your GMAT and be bold, be smart. Apply for job and online. When called for interview, dress well and neat. You will get a good job. When you get it, don't dwell there (if there's money, enroll in your MSC). You can get other professional certifications eg:HR. Even at that your job role, be useful and smart to also learn one or two in other departments and update your CV at every point in time, keep praying and believing God. Go ahead and apply for job in any company in Nigeria and your story here will be "there was a time..." (You think recruiters/employers are not smart)?
Don't be discouraged.

Nigeria labour market is bad and even seems like it is no longer existing, hence second class lower or what have you should not go there. Period!!!

2:2 is cool. But the brain is actually what matters. Did u go to school just to get a job or did u go to school to provide solutions to human problems?
If u went to school just to get a job then are just a joke. Current situation in Nigeria renders 5. CGPA useless. Just seat and check out any skill u think u can offer. If u don't have any yet, get it. And also, Nigeria needs a revolutionary billionaires from poor background, job won't make u one. Solution provider will make u one.
Enjoy

To be honest, your CGPA only matters if you are applying to a company as a graduate trainee or any other entry-level role. I would suggest that you build capacity. I have worked as a software developer in a few companies to date and believe me the last thing they ask me is my CGPA, In fact, most of them only ask me for my statement of result and other documents after I had been given a offer letter. My advice is that you build capacity and companies will seek after you regardless of what you graduated with.

Skills is the way right now. The world is going in the a direction that when you don't have a skill, it will be hard for you to survive. In this part of the world, people put too much efforts to certificate. They expect so much from their first class grades. Having a first class makes some to never want to acquire skills cuz they believe with the first class, companies will run after them. That's the msiatke some make.

Right now, I value skills more than a school certificate.

I am planning on learning two IT courses at the moment to become a self taught software engineer.

1. Python

2. JavaScript

Those are the two skills I hope to kickstart soon. In fact, I am going to dedicate a full year for this. Once I am done, I will build my personal projects to build my portfolio in that field. By the time I build up to 5 projects, I think I am good to go.

People like you who build softwares, who are software engineers can never run out of jobs.

When I first learned English, I also found it difficult to write a complete sentence. But then, I learned to write through the style of stories, write things daily and ask teachers to help me. I found it very effective basketball legends raze 3 online

Nice write up. By the way what skills do you think one can engage in ??.

Digital marketing skill is a good one,then graphic design. A craft of good interest,or you start a business you have passion for with the right mentorship.

It's not bad, just don't forget what you were taught in school because you will need them during your interview(s). What you have in your head is the "real thing". Don't panic.

Truth of the matter is you have two options.
1. If you have hopes of using your certificate to look for a job, just proceed with your masters degree ASAP. That's because if you can make a 2.1 or 1st class from your masters program, you can apply for jobs limited to 2.1 and above.
2. If you just want to make money. Learn a skill and perfect it during your service year. Most of my guys are doing well in their own businesses and they learnt those stuff during their service year.
I wish you well bro

It might sound funny but guys are cashing out big time on female cosmetics. Learn makeup during your service year and you'd be glad you did.
Bonus tip: ladies are more likely to patronise guys who are good at makeup than they are likely to patronise other ladies
