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


I graduated with a 2.2 only time I ever worked u can't imagine that they were paying me 25k a month. As that money was entering my Hand before I even reach house half don go.

I relocated first job ***k a week. I got 2 jobs over half a million a month and its not even been up to 2 months.

In Nigeria before u get this kind money with 2.2 na with STRONG connections

Where chief?

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.

Rubbish write up. How is it that many are hailing this garbage? Wow! I could settle down and dissect this empty write up and show why it is empty, but I have better things to expend my energy on.

Hello? Which first class? University of ibadan or babcock. Know what you are doing.

Boss, ranking of grade, school or any other BS does not really matter in the real world. What matters is skill.
Judging people by ranking especially when it comes to education is complete BS.

That skill you just mentioned is contingent upon your IQ, that is why some people will go to school and earn a first-class and others will get 2.2. Like it or not, there are some skills some people cant acquire because they are just mentally lazy and incapacitated. They can't help it.

U know say Nigeria money is becoming more useless by the day why are u surprised.

i still stand on "school na scam sha" for naija nomatter how anyone may paint it

tensazangetsu20:
Change the topic to all graduates. First class graduates too aren't getting jobs in Nigeria now. Didn't you read the article about the best student of unn who is now back farming at his village. He couldn't even be retained as a graduate assistant. The thing dey touch everybody.

If u get 2.2 no kii ya self.

A very good friend of mine got first class from private university in Egypt. Mans just got a job this year since 2016 and salary 45k in lagos!

Business in an economy that has been shrinking at 6 percent annually for the past 5 years get as E be o.

Don't be a pessimist, going into business is part of the solutions to the problem you just highlighted, only if you can look deeper.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
If you like graduate with 1.1,2.2,3.3 or even 9.9, if you can't help yourself, if you don't have someone to help you, and most importantly, if your have not discovered yourself, you are inderp shit.

Actually discovering yourselves is only 1/3 of actualizing your plans in a place like Nigeria, but having skills, digital skills is extremely important in a country like this

Not surprised!

Just wanted to know the country, so I could research on it with several other options before me.

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

Best comment ever!!!!!

So happy to see a comment like this... don't mind Op, this is how they mislead ppl and kill the self esteem of those innocent graduates.

Most of them do not know what labour market is all about, they will just start typing anything that comes to their hand.

In the real sense, most companies do not care about ur grade any longer ( tho, few still do) majority of them are after u making money for them.

Pls what's the difference between 2: 1 and 2: 2?
Pls I really need to know

Partially true.
Graduating with 2.2 doesn't necessarily mean low IQ !!. I had a lecturer in medical school teaching Anatomy, the guy graduated with 2.2 and he was employed as a lecturer in his first week as a NYSC corper with a pre-contract. They obviously saw something in him that his certificate wasn't showing.

The truth is that the education system is broken. Einstein once said "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid", and that is exactly what the education system does.

1:1, 2:1 is no different from 2:2 considering the comatosing Nigerian economy. relegating the rest is height of iberiberism as far as Nigeria I'd concerned

So I’m quoting you right now and laughing at your moniker. It brought back good old memories.

I used to call a girl I loved very much miss congeniality. I got the name off a movie series: I think it’s “Kyle XY”.

Can’t really remember cos it’s been so long.

got mine from a movie starred by Sandra Bullock my love." Misscongeniality" and it suits my personality because I'm also congenial.��

Nice.

Just do your Masters and it overtakes the 2.2...do a PhD and it replaces the Masters...pair with Relevant Certifications and work place experience and that dream job, would still be possible.

What's your discipline?

Can we connect?

Email?

I’m still waiting for the advice because this is just what an average Nigerian graduate should have known, whether first class or even pass

If you studied accounting, start a process of certification to chartered accountant.

ICAN or ANAN is good to boost your cert and job marketability

You can also purse your job career if you re good in IT to information system auditing ie CISA

Frankly speaking, 2.2 or lower credit cannot give you wider opportunities than 2.1/firstclass.

Last week, FG said that they will employ teachers as from January 2021 and it is only those with first class and 2.1 holders can be employed.

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

prayer is good but only action will fulfil your dream and not prayer alone
