We wey get 2.1 and first class, wetin we don achieve?. While appluading the writer for this lovely write up, I'll like to add that this advice should be for all Nigerian graduates not only 2.2 graduates.

Rapmoney:


Africans and religion.

this is not the matter of religion,if u have good grade and u are not given the opportunity what will u do

Nigeria issa jungle. Do what you gotta do to escape.

If u are a 2.2 graduate and u don't know how to do business if u have funds go abroad.

A lazy youth is already lazy bones any advice to them i atimes see it as a waste of time as far as all their hopes are in government.

It's about value you bring to the table and skill....

NDSMELODY:
With 1:1, 2:1 or 2:2 let every one pray for GRACE of GOD.

GOD bless you

If only we can protest inside aso rock as our brave and courageous lads did inside the palace of the Oba of Lagos by sacking the nonentity.

Failed system and a joking nation = Nigeria . ........ we were born in a joking nation “no cap “

You can get to the top of any career with 2.2.Dont allow anyone to demoralize you

Rapmoney:
In as much as we always try to paint and re-paint realities, they still stare at us in the eyes with the greatest level of confidence or boldness you can think of.

I am using this post to offer a candid advice to Nigerian graduates within the 2.2 grade level, especially, those folks who graduated within the last 2 years. I said this because I should think most of the folks who graduated 5 to 10 years ago would have been able to create something for themselves, whether on a small or large scale.

Graduating with a 2.2 grade should not make you start dwelling on how you did it wrong and what you could have done and not have done.
Your 2.2 grade does not mean you are not intelligent or brilliant. Certificates from Nigerian higher institutions these days have lost their true value and relevance. There is little or no difference between university certificates and cardboard papers or wallpapers. Your 2.2 grade should give you the signal that the labour market is not friendly to you because even the first class and 2.1 graduates are not finding it easy as well. Except you have strong connections, you may never get that dream job of yours with your 2.2 cert. It is the truth. There is no proverbial Good Samaritan anywhere. Stop waiting and act.


ADVICE FOR 2.2 GRADUATES

1. Stop looking for that dream job that is almost nonexistent. Get productive in any small firm that employs you. Even if the salary is not big. Make sure you save aggressively like a mad man. Give yourself few years and start your own business in any lucrative industry you have interest in and passion for. Grow your business diligently and gradually. Make sure your eyes are wide open kokoroko like those of a hawk. No room for distractions from unserious friends. Business first.

2. Humble yourself and learn a good lucrative skill. Nigerian university education is almost like a scam! The country does not possess the industrial capacity to absorb graduates from most of the departments and faculties you fancifully look at in JAMB brochure. Again, without connections, there is no Good Samaritan out there. Go learn a good skill and TRY TO BE VERY GOOD AT IT; it should not even be related to what you studied in school. You should explore other career paths in life.


The Nigerian society does not always believe in 'practicalize what you can do for us to see'. So even if you are a very bright person who graduated with a 2.2 due to some unfortunate circumstances, you may never get that chance to prove your worth or knowledge to get employed in your dream industry. That is how the system is. Yes, it is all messed up you would say. And you are right. The system believes in connections laced with mediocrity and financial gratification.

Happy Weekend!

OP
Dis ur write-up get as e be o
Na why I no fit talk much

All I'll say is...
The Nigeria we find ourselves today, the grade with which one graduates from the University with doesn't really matter.

A third class graduate can easily start working in INTELS or in AGIP or in UNIPORT barely three months after graduation, whereas a first class graduate could still be roaming the streets of Port Harcourt or Lagos for 3yrs, searching for a job.

It all depends on "who you know"
And of course, the God_factor

Some graphic designers earn more than some first class graduates...get a skill

Nothing wrong with 2:2,most people are on that class,I know two people who came out with pass and they ended working with a bank executive as a special assistant,he had gone to many places to represent his principal including international convention where he made presentations and contributions.


Some were just unlucky to came out with such grades,while some were simply careless.
But all in all,your grade doesn't determine your level of intelligence.

Happy Weekend!

this is the advice you only give to you and your family members

just because you came from a poverty family and graduate with 2.2 doesn't mean you can start writing rubbish to Console yourself!

the system we have in Nigeria is "who know who" even those who came out with first class are still in the street looking for job!

I have seen many pass or third class grade in a high position and making waves?

your stupid president Buhari and his cabinet crew check them out. them didn't comes out with any grade not talkless of passed grade but look at them making stupid rules and laws to suppress imbec1le like you


if you have brain enough which I know you don't have, you will see that this system is so fvcked up that the rich are trying to suppress the poor by making rubbish law that favours them!

why is the outside world system so good that you will be thinking of leaving this shit hole?
do they have ten heads?

so give this humble advise to you and your fvcking families since you have already decided that you won't make it!

Mustergrain:

Coldie:

haba bros, you harsh o

Cute baby cats for sale... Send a PM to order.

True talk. 2.2 is like no grade.

AmadorSays:
haba bros, you harsh o

LoL... U no hear say Emmanuella secondary school girl buy house for her mama.

Opportunities full there just make ur videos then post for tundeednut

What is applicable for a 2.2 is same for 2.1 and first class in most cases. Life is not all about what you graduated with. Even some drop outs are better of. Abraham Lincoln said, "I will study and wait, and the opportunity will come". The best opportunities may come for a 3rd class, so, don't categorize. Be prepared!

sammirano:
True talk. 2.2 is like no grade.

First class also like no grade especially in Nigeria.
