I respect people who graduate with a first class degree from a public university... I am saying this because I tried and put in all my best to bag a first class degree but I still end up with a close CGPA of 4.2.
As a young guy in my first year in school, I got a GP of 4.6 in first year and 4.5 in 2nd year, but from third yr I couldn't make a first klass again till my final year... I put in all my best because I was kind of good... I know I still do some play shall, like following woman N sports but I make sure I balance my time... Still at that I couldn't make the first class... I was asking if its the School(UNIBEN) or my department(Geology) but I couldn't get a valid answer to my question... Ever since then, I always respect a first class graduate because its not easy... Am nt saying a secon class upper is easy because I knw how it take to get that in school but first class demand a lot from You...

Mine was similar.. Graduted from elect/elect uniben...400l messed me up... Still managed to get 4.28 tho.. At least I'm thankful to God for that

@0P wat about d 1s 4rm private schools

Any first class from private university nor follow... Am not saying their first class is not brilliant but then nor follow... I was watching a private university convocation on day and a dept(accounting) produce 18 first class... Just 1 dept ooo... I vex off my TV... Private sch want you to pass by all means but public university want you to fail and come bak again, so if you pass, it means you ve strong head...

That is were you got it wrong, we over hype first class graduates in public universities (Mind you i am student from public university with CGPA of 4.47 on the scale of 5.0 point in my final year). In public universities we have frustrated Lecturers that are not satisfied with their monthly pay, and secondly the employment selection is base on WHO YOU KNOW factor. But lecturers in private universities are selected base on merit. People with passion for teaching, people that have teaching ethics, people that are delighted to see their students passing, people that are ready to help their students. Why won't the students have good grades? unlike our lecturers in public universities that are forming local champion without any teaching ethics, been harsh to their students, nobody is ready to attend to your personal problem. Why won't you graduate with 4.2 in place of 4.6? please carry your frustration to somewhere else, Not private universities first class graduates they are good they have conducive environment for learning, they have good lecturers etc. Any first class product being it from private, state or Federal universities are good in their on way. (Being it sorting, being it malpractice, being it cramming, being it natural intelligence etc)

Why should they be respected when what most of them do is "la cram, la pour.

What should be respected is what they achieved in life not ordinary paper being awarded.

You don't expect me to be respecting someone with 1st class in EEE when he/she hasn't achieved anything meaningful to the society.

Wole Soyinka made 2.1 in the University and he is being respected today for what he has achieved in life not paper certificate. You dig?


EDITED- I have a secondary school classmate who always score high in every subject. Her result percentage is always a way higher than second position.

She always hit 92, 93 in Physics and Chemistry exam added with test but during Physics and Chemistry practical(s), she fumbles.

Nigerian education is solely based on theory and little or no practical. So, First class should be disregarded except what you are able to reproduce in labour market. Kapish?

Every first class student should be respected, be it public or private university

Esp in Unimaid

advert!! op congrats sha, iy aint easy

Well.. to a lot, RESPECT means MONEY... even if you wan get first, first, A-One class....

The problem mostly is the lecturers like @greatestman pointed out.
Imagine, since the establishmemt of my school (Unilorin) since 1975, they dont have a first class in some depts like Chemistry, Political Science to mention a few.
I always wonder when I hear this; For people to study courses like Medicine, Anatomy and so on in the same school and survive, why wont courses like chem, pos produce a first class in almost 40years of the school's existence? And if the lecturers should tell you their reasons; it would be like, as good as I was in my school days I finished with a 2.2 or some 2.1 and I see no reason why a student should have a better grade i.e first class. Why the fvck is you finishing with 2.1 or 2.2 the problem of your innocent students?
Like another lecturer at a dept told his students after setting their exam question that; "I have answered those questions and I marked my self using my marking scheme and I got a C, so I cant see what any one of you would write to get more than a C". Look at this!! words like this would even kill some students that are trying to be serious just because of exams psychologically.

Our Education in this country needs total reformation most esp the public one.
God help 'our' dear country NIGERIA!!

With all due respect; did y'all just agree that I deserve to be respected coz I'm a FIRST CLASS Citizen of Nigeria!

Okay.... well said. Only God knoweth how the journey of a MAN will go.

Nice one there but mind u most 1st class graduates in private universities can't be compared to a 2.2 student in public university based on intellect and exposure

it's not easy, currently in my 200level(studying physics) Uniben and it hasn't been easy. although my 100level Gp wasn't encouraging(3.934) I still have plan on making a first class
