Computer department takes very few students,so they always sort the remaining students to Agric courses.

LordIsaac:
Criminology and Security Studies.... So interesting... Trust me.

make sense hope you working now?

agya1:
You couldn't have said it better. Very apt. My opinion he should just go study accounting.

hmm why accounting if I may ask. No offense I just want to know

LordIsaac:
There are two reasons why you shouldn't drop out: first, honour those who have invested in you, by graduating, albeit with a poor result. Secondly, NYSC is pending... So that you'll not be battling with altering your age later.
Now, WHEN you change course later after your NYSC, avoid the sciences so that history will not repeat itself. In my case, after studying Chemistry for 6years instead of 4, I finished and served. Then wrote WAEC and Jamb for a new faculty, the Social Sciences. I am on first class now... And, no fear of NYSC as I have served already. For posterity sakes, finish and return for a better degree, forget PGD.

thanks that's true. which social sciences course you went for?

MalbakOscar:
You've had your challenges
Finish with the 3rd Class. Graduate and go for International Certification Courses with Cisco, Oracle, Python and Java. When you're done, you'll be of more value than the 1st Class or 2nd Class holders in the IT World. Having a B.Sc only gets you so far, what else will you offer your employers.
Only Nigeria places so much importance on B.Sc grades (that aren't even up to standard abroad).

wow I don't know about this oo . Thanks

spartan117:
U can choose to start afresh or not.ur certificate doesn't matter much be it first class or 2.1 or whatever.
Your major strength right now is ur experience. Don't be like those pple dat only go to school bcuz of certificate. But if d school really went thru u those five years I'm sure u will have programming skills so my advice is simple: get a laptop, brush up on these skills and use ur determination to become the best at what u do,u don't need a certificate to achieve this.

The average Python programmer earns about $40,000 per anumm in d U.S u can sell ur skills at online marketplaces like upwork.com and fiverr.com and make a shit load of money.

U can still pursue ur certificate while pursuing this, the two aren't mutually exclusive. I will also recommend that u try and get into the andela fellowship, if u do get in u won't need to go to any federal university again.

Above all u must get to know God and develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ because he is the only one that can see u thru this trying time and he loves u so much.

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

God strengthen u amen

Thank you for your advice

epadomo:
Bro your idea is good cos it's never too late to start all over again but remember that Nigeria of today is no respecter of degrees,the last time I checked our president said your certificate doesn't guarantee you a job in this current economy. So my advice is if the third class is within your reach get it and call me for job, I will be willing to get you one,100% assured. you can contact me on 08060995086 or e-mail temifirst2015@gmail.com.
My one cent though.

cool hope it wouldn't be too late duo. lemme call you asap

mikezuruki:
Very good school. I am an alumni

check pm

grandstar:
The mistake you're making is that you feel your degree or your result will dictate your future. It need not.

If there are people who didn't go to school are doing well, why not you?

I'm glad you came here to seek advice. The Bible says in the multitude of counsellors, there is accomplishment.

Why don't you add a skill like Oracle to compliment your computer science degree? You can learn how to design landing pages and advertise on Fiverr.com. You can make over $1,000 monthly from it if your price is cheap.

You can also go for Masters. Added to your degree, it can take you pkaces

Am on fiverr haven't earned much duo. This Oracle courses you talk of how do I go about it?

Blabbermouth:
"I want you to go to a university so that u can get your degree, but more important, I want you to return with an education"
1. Do u want to fulfill your dream on being a first class computer science graduate? then re-write Jamb and waste 4 more years.
2. Your family don't give 2 Bleep wateva u study, as long as u use it to succeed.
Even if its a fourth class degree , if u have what a company needs they will worship you. The world is digital, research on "Coursera", they operate an online school kind of thing. In about 6 months, u would master what a lot of ignorant students used 4-5 yrs of their life to study its useless theoretical aspect. Even better, they would award u a worldwide recognized degree far better than this your shitty university degree. The Icing on this online school is , you can maneuver your ways and learn for free!!!

I know coursera there important courses are mostly paid. Even computer science is paid..

sulasa07:
U fit go FUNAAB,Computer Science/Studies is 4yrs,but don't forget to add Strike and other wuruwuru making it 5yrs.Plus their fee no Much but to get into that Computer Department is the real problem

Problem kie?

NextBuhari:
Just go on and finish up, even if it is a third class or pass degree you obtain, thereafter you can enrol for a PGD programme to make up for the deficiency.

I'll be spending 2 yrs + before I find and its not certain cause if I have any Carryovers. gonna be bad

welbech:
Unilorin

worst?

Or11:
If you want a career in IT, get your third class degree and go for a professional course in programming or and IT related course that interests you. Cisco, Java, Oracle, mobile app developments are one of the courses you could do. There are people without degrees but have professional certificates doing well in IT. As long as you have a skill you are good in, companies will employ you even in international companies.

do you know anybody like this?

IvyGRush:
Good Morning Mr Tweak2K.

I most sincerely appreciate your post which shows how remorseful you are and accepting that the mistake made was from your end and no one being responsible. That I appreciate alot.

Thank you. Someone once told me don't blame anybody for your mistake.

Badonasty:
was in Dept of mass communication then but wrote jamb again and moved to another school

Still Mass communication?

AccessME:
This story is almost same with mind with just little difference through I studied pol science and after 4yrs with 12 COs and a very low CGPA, I couldn't think of something more better but to quit and go start afresh cos I just don't want to graduate with a third class too. As a matter of fact my mates have served but here I am waiting to write jamb next year. I'm in my mid 20s too.

let's link up so we going to find a better school. Or maybe work together.

hustla:
Go to Aptech instead and get netwrkng, programming and cloud computing skills
Thank me later

I will later but I need a degree 1st

mikezuruki:
start again. be serious this time. And while at it, enrol in an institution where you'll learn how to code. Take it one step at a time. Uniport is 4 years

Am thinking of uniport am a sport man. Aside Computer science I don't know which other department is good for me..

Honestly, I have no idea about uniport or how it works. But I like the school

davinero1:
I'm kinda like in the same shit you're in now. 5 years wasted. Also in in my mid twenties.

I believe I failed because I was too scared(I know it sounds silly though but it's true) so I wrote jamb again which I passed, and I'll be writing Post Utme next month. I also applied for a different course.

I honestly do not know where the money will come from to train myself in school but I'm not going to be afraid again this time. At least I owe that to my parents for failing them the first time.

I also do not have any good skills but I can type really fast and I just recently got some little graphic design skills. Have not started getting jobs though but I believe they'd come.
I have also saved some.money to use to.get a laptop by next month when the monthly contribution I'm a part of pays me.

We should link up though. I'm Dave

ok Dave just pm me asap

Evangkatsoulis:
Enter a 5-year course so that you will finish at the age of 30+. Abi you wan kill yourself for NYSC?
But do you want to waste money. The federal Government has been paying 200K+ for your tuition fees for 5 years now!

what are you saying

weyreypey:
I did. It helped.

You did what?

Badonasty:
a good friend of mine did it and he's a graduate now with a good job....he's doing well more we that graduated before him sef

which dept did he change too?

norriswood:
...... Computer science is four years course in all universities in Nigeria exclude technology universities....

Mine is 5 years

noble71:
Go and learn Java Language. I mean learn it very well. If you don't get a job in 6 months with even pass or third class certificate I will deactivate my account.

lol I prefer python or C#

sulaak:
Study a Post-Graduate diploma and then a Master degree, which will take the best part of two years or less. You will learn more and your advance
degree will be a testimony of your intelligence.

I don't understand this. You mean I stead of starting a fresh? could you please explain

patorial:
Bro that you've spent 5yrs In a university without anything doesn't mean anything. The only time you're doom is when you can't get any ideas in your heads anymore.


like me I am in my 300 level studying Statistics but I still got it in my head that this not what I want, I know that I'm much good in computer programming even before getting into school. So all I do is planning what I could do with my programming knowledge and trust me I got it.


One thing I will advise you is never to let yourself thinking that you're depressed. Depression is for the less busy mind

Yeah tru thank you

Charleys:
Guy write jamb again, use geography and economics and enter economics.

You'll be In BSC ECONOMICS.
I'm sure it's the maths in computer science that's making you fail.

This is the real tweak2k right there, but but you shouldn't have waited that long.

yeah bro it's the maths and some un well explained programs lecturers will just teach you.

I know my mistake cost me my time. Which school do you suggest?

lequama10:
my brother we all have passed through one thing or thé other in life. Call my line my journéy is so similar to yours have a story to tell you , so sure it will help. 08110955240...

ok will call you later this after thanks

Ejebleje:
Tweak2k

I can tell that you had a very bad foundation educationally, pre-university and it has shown in coming to the fore now.
I can tell you struggled with your core subjects , and even tho’ you have the desire to be do I.T, you don’t have a solid background in science subjects.

You missed it the moment you went for “special center” instead of addressing your deficiencies before entering the university.
(Please correct me if any of my submissions are wrong)

I however feel there is a way out . Go for a “less demanding “ course that’s not necessarily science related, start well( sound 100 l results) and continue with zeal until your final year.

When you’re out of uni, pick an area of I.t you’re interested in, and that matches your areas of strength, look for good computer schools and start learning at your own pace. This way, you’re not burdened with the extraneous courses you would’ve done in the university, for which you really were not prepared for .BUT , from here on , it has to be certifications , certifications , certifications .

A number of excellent programmers didn’t study computer science in school, though most were already Science inclined

On the flip side , a university degree doesn’t buy you success in today’s world. A combination of hard work , being smart and highly opportunistic does.
As one of the posters above suggested, you can go learn a technical skill of your choice and continue to hone it, till it becomes marketable.

Now isn’t the time for self pity and self loathing , if things aren’t working out for you, go and work things out. Good a thing you’re still in your 20’s .

thanks 24 actually...

Fidelismaria:
Computer science is four years in UNN

I need more info please

leokid866:
Find yourself a money making skill.....whether first class or third class Nigeria is not exactly a degree friendly place. Find yourself a good money making skill that aligns with your interests and be happy with your life.

bro I don't know any... Can you recommend one for me?
