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!

Bros dont you think if an individual with a 2.2 improved on it by going in for masters that could help? A friend finished from a university in Ghana about 11years ago and is just now ready to do her masters maybe in unilag, the issue now is what masters program does she go for so that afterwards she could open an office / business of her own

Many thanks for the words of wisdom.

Mustergrain:
Haha. Deep down in your heart (just like in our hearts), you know that this business of yours is non-existent. If there was any such business, you would have gathered your family members and friends to it. We for no even hear am. In few days you for don turn millionaire.

Bro if you don't know something just ask.

Ok

tensazangetsu20:
The same business the government won't hesitate to kill. Opay no be person business. Border closure killed thousands of businesses all over Nigeria.

I can see where you are looking at it from, yet we still need to encourage businesses especially small and medium ones, they are the secret of every developed economies. Even the border closure you made mention of as an issue opened and boost businesses to others.

Gerrard59:
You did not even ask why he stated so but hey, what do we expect from someone who does not understand how GDP growth affects businesses.

Lol, I wonder how some people just type anything

MISSCONGENIALITY:
Lol. Are you also single?
Oya make we connect sharp sharp.

is dis really happening here...

AlphaMajestic:
is dis really happening here...

Lol.Dont tell me you are just waking up

learning a skill still requires money of course, I graduated from the university of Benin with a 2:2 due to heavy financial constraints. I am at a crossroad now because I know that my certificate is useless and I need to skill up.
I just need a break, imagine at 22 I am saddled with enough family responsibilities that would make any man go bananas.
saving up to buy a laptop to learn programming, graphic design, digital marketing and also fine tune my forex trading skill, Just hope I find solace in my service year.
SO HELP ME GOD

SILVERLINES:
OP may God bless you for this topic you created, same I have been advising them. In today's Nigeria there's no difference between a bachelor degree holder and SSCE holder. I studied biochemistry and graduate with upper division back it up with a master degree but I couldn't find a job and feeding then was a problem till I diverted my attention to computer and programming there I find my fortune and now realise that what I am today I would have been better without going to the university.

wow, so you had to start from the scratch, please how long did it take you to start earning from the computer and programming skills

cuteralph101:
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!

Hah

Enceladus:
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.

you studied mbbs ? Please pardon the question just curious as I just stumbled upon your thread on Artificial intelligence

Solatium:
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.

Those 2:2 know person. Most bank adverts don’t even invite 2:2 for interview. But if u have leg u get the job, I was referred for first bank job 2018 with my 2:2 and nearly got the job, but my referral later travel out na so i turn plantain farmer

lukeosi4life:
What will I say about myself that graduated with third class?

My monthly take home is 200+ after taxes & pension deduction in a reputable company.

Na God do am for me ooo. I no get any connections whatsoever!

What course did you study boss?

Elliot2:
I graduated with a 2:2 in 2016 and I can tell you how difficult life is here in this part of the world. I have been damn jobless since, though I don’t think about it too much these days. I am not one to be too desperate about the good things of life even though the pressure from people around is crazy. My regret is not taking the chance offered by my elder brother to choose between Canada and Australia when he was in the position to move me to my chosen country. My problem is not lack of opportunities but the fact that I miss them, and the restraining issue of my ill health is what keeps me jobless and not necessarily by my grades.

Get well soon boss

Dpaulie:
This your analysis can never stop people like me taking in at least 640k every Tuesday... a lot of opportunities dey for naija, stop analyzing economy.. bad economy for u is a good one for someone else

Did you seat for their apptitude test?
Did you qualify to the second stage before the final list?
Your referral letter can only work at the final stage bro not from the shortlist.

They only use first class and 2:1 to prune down the number of applicants,not that 2:2 is bad or something

lequama10:
it's good brother, we all have diff strength and weaknesses, Infact taiye and kehinde way different, don't always think your way is only the way.. Infact some people will do well where u fail, it's what life entails.. Getting it right now doesn't mean it will be right tomorrow...its well...

Sure I understand that life is a process and change is constant, if issue sup for this way na to calm down reason other way and not start throwing blames to village people and all that.

Problem go always dey business and people go always find way comut.

There is no different between taiye and kehinde, na just there perception of thought wey differ.

I was once smart and I wanted to change the world but now I am wise and I want to change myself. Look inward, I made the most profit during this covid 19 period and a greater percentage can be trace on when I decided to look inward.

People wey go wan do normal work go dey, but when you know that time is more important than money you won't want to give it freely.

Nice write up just According to Joseph Egbebi - "LOOKING FOR JOB IS A JOB". Become a possibility thinker. Life is 360 degrees, if you get the first degree, where will you get the remaining 359 degrees.

Same.... Don't mind me. That was a lame attempt to comply to the faceless nature of this place. Do you also code?
