It`s not about graduating with 10.0!
It`s graduating and finding a worthwhile and Lucrative job in this hoax of a nation!
Then we`ll know it was worth it!

But is it not still better to excel first and see what happens next?

1.1 might open scholarship opportunities for him. Or being retained by the faculty as a teaching assistant while pursuing post-grad at same time.

Still bores down to getting a good job, that can put food on his table.

Me (and some of us) that did not even break chalk in school, which record will i even break sef?
Let me come and be going abeg.

Please tell him to use his fame to impart lives on a scale equals or even surpassing his academic achievement.

Congrats to him, both on his first class and on breaking the record

Come and see another record. All these records embarrass me.

Congrats to him

Up lions and super lions in the house....na we dey here Congrats chairman

That is why I laugh when some people claim some departments are impossible to get a first class in.
That is only true because the individual with the right amount of brilliance and favour has not passed through.
They said the same thing about UNIBEN mechanical engineering for the past 10 years, until Linus came and shattered it.
Now everybody get first class there like doughnuts.

It is not all about immediate food my brother.

Many who excel do find opportunities where they might no have.

We should try to limit our "short-termism."

What appears to be, perhaps the longest elusive academic jinx in Nigeria was recently broken by Ozibo Ekele, a 2016 graduate of the famed Ibadan School of History (Department of History), Faculty of Arts, University of Ibadan, where he finished top of the Faculty and Department with a B.A. (First Class Honours) and a CGPA of 6.6 out of a possible 7.0.

By this feat, he became the first person to graduate with First Class Honours in the 69-year-old Department. Ozibo who is also a 2013 Mass Communication graduate of the University of Nigeria Nsukka, is therefore expected to cart away several academic Prizes in the forthcoming 2017 Convocation ceremony of the University of Ibadan.

These include, Best Graduating Student of both Faculty of Arts and Department of History; Dr. Robert Bradbury Memorial Prize; Irving and Bonar Prize; Oba Lipede Prize; CUSO Nigeria Limited Prize; J.A. Atanda Memorial Prize; and Omoyisola Atanda Memorial Prize in History. We say big congrats to him.
