Uniabuja made me feel worst than this. I worked so hard yet lecturers frustrated this efforts and aided the privileged. Seeking redress was no go area. Graduating with a 3rd class became a privilege.

I am the one who made the comment you are quoting.
You are getting everything all wrong.
Did you attend a public Nigerian school and have a sibling who attended a private one? Maybe if you did, then I can take you serious.

Not everyone you see making a comment here was just lazy or stupid. Rushing in to make a comment here without understanding where people are coming from reeks of shallowness.

I carefully compared the system of learning in my brother's school with mine and I clearly knew that I was not meant for a public Nigerian school.
In my brother's school, they have online access to all the materials for all the courses at the beginning of the semester. This gives the students flexibility to study at their own pace. Meanwhile in Uniben, uncountable times, we have gotten materials an evening to the examination, meanwhile a huge chunk of the questions in the exam were from that material.

I won't even talk about the conduciveness of the learning environment in his school and mine. The biggest student community in Uniben (Ekosodin) can go for months without power supply. We are regularly harrassed by cultists and sometimes we had to flee for our lives and face the trauma. These stories were like fairy tales to my brother.
In my brother's school, they get to see their results a few weeks after the end of the semester, meanwhile in Uniben, we did not see our 100lvl first semester results until almost halfway into our 200lvl first semester. We didn't even know where to stand.
In Uniben, it was like every lecturer wanted something different and without understanding that lecturer and what he wants, you stand to fail.
Some lecturers want a copy and paste of their materials, others wanted you to surprise them and expansiate with the knowledge you get from other sources outside the materials. Some lecturers will set questions outside the syllabus while others will adhere to the syllabus e.t.c.
Isn't this madness? In private schools, it is a one-way street.

If I want to outline all the terrible and unfortunate discrepancies I noticed by the juxtaposition of my brother's learning experience and mine, I could write a whole book.

Anyway, there was something very true you highlighted in your comment about learning new skills for new levels. That is very valid. If I had understood the system of Uniben and especially my department, before I was part of it, I would have done better.

Fast forward today, my brother still comes to me for more enlightenment on more neutral and basic topics of life and I enlighten him. Whenever he wants to write an online aptitude test for a job application, he beckons on my assistance and knowledge. It is very clear like daylight between both of us, who possesses a higher IQ.
I went into business and have made profits in the millions. I joined a line of business and within a few months, I became a mentor to people who have been in the line of business for over a decade.

I took this time to put down this lengthy writing in order to correct your wrong thinking.
I hope you can see where I am coming from.
The public Nigerian education system is just too rigid, un-innovative, un-straightforward and terrible for lots of Nigerians. Little wonder we do far far better when we go to school abroad where the system is more sane and proportionally rewarding of commensurate effort and hardwork.
lol..all this long epistle just to proove a point?? I equally attended both private and public schools so it's not new to me and i don't think am shallow like u described me.
it's common knowledge that private institutions or schools abroad offer more serene and conducive platform for learning hence the better productivity. However, passing with good grades in public Nigerian universities ( uniben inclusive) is not an impossible task because many have done it and more to come.
But since u clearly stated that the Nigerian public university doesn't suit you persona, I think I clearly understand where u re coming from and ure right

They don't switch to the same level.
They step down aleast a year and work harder.

That is enough advantage.

PTI graduates come to Uniben, start from 200level and dust us in engineering.

It's not strange.
. Not easy jare

Lemme talk to you
See I feel you bro
In my time, I held political position from 200l till I graduated. And I was always at the top in the political strata in my niche in Uniben.

Politics will affect your CGPA trust me. You can never balance the two. One will suffer for the other for a while. In my department, CGPA was calculated using this formula
40%----400l
30%%-----300l
20%------200l
10%------100l

So find out what % they use in your department. If you look at my department %, you can see that even if you are 2.2 in 200l, you can make first class from just your 300l and 400l result.

Find out what works best for you
You have to motivate yourself. I remember one time I was in my office and a senior colleague who had graduated came to school to see me. He told me, he said just try and get a 2.1. Life out there is crazy, but just get a 2.1

I had to up my game. I already had strings of carry over's to write. Be careful with some lecturers. They still fail people in Uniben for no reason. When I was in final year I was in 2.2

But I graduated with a 2.1
I never blocked any course in school
No spill over or extra year.

If I could do it bros
You can do it too....na only you fit motivate yourself

Thanks this is so encouraging, I'll put in more efforts with a positive mindset

All these allegations against the greatest of the greatest? I studied for both BSc and MSc in UI and I always feel the atmosphere is cool and serene enough for anyone to study. No one can make you feel inferior except yourself.

He isn't lieing bro. I am currently in my 2nd semester in same dept for MSc and I can relate cos d lecturers did same to us. No b lie at all. I had my first degree at UNILORIN (d stress for this school na die, and I must say every school get their own stress).
