I decided to set up this discussion due to some assertions that are touted as facts especially here on nairaland. These include but are not limited to the following:
1) First class and second class upper graduates from Nigerian universities buy their degrees either in cash or in kind
2) Second class lower and third class graduates of Nigerian universities are generally smarter than first class and second class upper graduates
3) A Nigerian education is essentially useless.

I am not asking for the same mundane cliches. I want fact-based replies saying whether the above are true. Let us know the university you attended in Nigeria, the general time frame when you attended and whether the above are true of YOUR university when you attended.

I schooled in OAU Ife spanning the 90s and early 2000s. I came boldly say the above are not true concerning Ife. It was impossible to sort for first class in Ife. The moSt laughable is 2 above. The majority of first class and 2.1graduates were extremely bright students who have gone on to do exploits in top foreign schools. @loma is one of these. I can go on and name tens if not hundreds others but I only used him because he's well known on this forum.

So, let me have your PERSONAL views.

Looks like I have to move this topic to the politics section to get replies. Seems education section is frequented by only prospective university students.

It's false, my sister finished at oau last year and had 2.1 without paying anyone a dime
