People cant proudly be be flouting their degrees anymore cos education in Nigeria is so useless. My friend's brother is in 300L in a university in Europe and he's been on an excursion to America twice , Solicon Valley and another Tech destination. Meanwhile, lecturers went on strike for not allowing Nigerian students experience this and lecturers couldn't update themselves anymore on research works overseas which they could have come back home.to impart and some illiterate youths were busy condemning that?

If you have the opportunity to japa and further your studies overseas, don't hesitate to do that. I know of a guy who had a good grade in an engineering course in Nigeria and left for Germany to start from 100L over there, now he's in 300L. He said he just realised he wasted 5 years in Nigeria doing nothing. He's been in Canada once and another EU country from school on excursions. Sadly, those politicians the illiterates are running after have their children schooling overseas. They'd end up coming back becoming their ruler.

Having 2:1 (second class upper division grade) is good
Your story is interesting

All you need is connection, forget all this results in paper

That is why our engineering HOD where I work in a government hospital could not even open an email account.

Why must we keep incompetent people in positions of power requiring intense competence required in the 21st century?

I’m talking about someone earning 400k plus

The point is your useless universities don't give the needed knowledge and your useless companies are looking for first class instead of competency, I can fu**ck lecturer and get first class without anything upstairs.

LordIsaac:
What then is the point?

Exactly my brother.
It is as if I wasted a valuable 7-10 minutes of my life reading rubbish epistle.

Perhaps, he wants us to know that he has a Master's degree from a foreign university.

my gf is a Ghanaian and I am very happy we met on the Up Ghana. com. forum

Kenmatt:
I stopped reading when I deduced your theme.


Most of your points are not cogent reasons to castigate 2.1 and esteem 2.2

Again, what is the name of the Foreign University you did the after the graduate study and in which Country.

Let's just verify something.

Karlifate:


💯

Your comment reminds me of several vacancies I've seen in time past.

Some companies will be looking for a candidate and/or candidates with:
• First Class grade
• Less than 26/27 years old
• 5 years experience
• Professional Certification is an added advantage
• Technical Skills is also another added advantage
Etc...


Damn!


All these for a fresh University Graduate, bastardized with both internal & external strikes , suffered various carryovers coupled with anxiety caused by impromptu lectures/tests...

Passing out from these hurdles, doesn't mean they can handle the practical aspects of their field cos they've been filled mainly with theories, theories and more theories. 🤦


The Nigerian Education system needs a complete overhaul.


We can't keep repeating the same thing that doesn't work, and expect a fresh & fit outcome. 👌

2-2, 3rd class and pass like this sort of consoling that they do better than first class and 2-1. Statistics says otherwise.

While there are no absolutes, the average 1.1 and 2.1 graduates fare better than the rest of other grade graduates. It is only sensible that there will be fewer 1.1 and 2.1 graduates compared to other grades. Do not use outlier to judge, on the average a first class or second class upper graduate has demonstrated an attitude of hardwork and smart work, it is also not just the attitude, there is a form of aptitude displayed. There will be some few others in the 2.2 , 3rd class and pass cadre who may later experience a shift in attitude, and may also experience grace, they do not make the majority.

I have tried but seems all the volunteering opportunity are in Lagos.... although I recently relocated to Badagry Lagos state. Now, no such volunteering opportunity here unless I want to join politics. Lol.

Now if I get in Mainland or eventually in island where there is lot of opportunities, how will I cope based on accomodation and other expenses since some if not all of this volunteering opportunities doesn't pay a dime.

Only God knows that any slightest opportunity I get to get a huge some of money is to leave dis country to US for my masters. Atleast with my Cgpa, I have an advantage
