It runs in the system.... Most of these lecturers are sadist....it's I. Nigeria a lecturer will tell u A is for God, B is for me, C is for the best students D, average students and so on... They make education look like climbing mountain everest.... No wonder.... Average students in Nigeria will come out with first class outside the country..


It's so sad my brother. Yhu can imagine a lecturer feeling tough and failing students in the name of trying to be seen as hardcore lecturer.


Isn't stupidity to see half of yhur class failing an exam? It shows yhu ain't good as a lecturer, it means such a lecturer didn't teach the course well enough which should even implicate him.

Unfortunately, almost all of them are the same ....so nobody questions such lecturers (m0rons)

Ray Reddington @_Larenzo who graduated with third class from OAU discovers he’s a genius while studying in Canada

A Nigerian man has revealed that he never knew about his ingenuity till he went to further his education in Canada.

According to the Twitter user identified as @_Larenzo, he graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) with a third class degree, but when he started studying in Canada, his lecturers were impressed with his problem-solving skills.

He later discovered after taking an IQ test, that he was a genius whose intelligence was greatly underrated owing to Nigeria’s falling standard of education.

According to @_Larenzo, he topped his class upon graduation from the university in Canada.

See his tweet

The person must have grown and better mature compared to when he was in Oau.

The way I will approach my studies now compared to during my undergraduate will be different as I will set priorities straight and better.

Who said chess requires a high IQ?? You just need average intelligence to understand the rules and play the game. Are you saying every chess grandmaster is a genius? Totally false! And if Nigerians had the same environment to nurture chess talents we will have a GM by now. It’s all about your environment. We’ve had our International masters beat grandmasters in tournaments abroad.
Yes I stand by my word.. To be good in Chess requires a high IQ.. Every chess grandmaster is good at mathematics.. A typical Chess grandmaster strategizes, thinks and calculates very fast.. The Indians where most grandmasters are from are excellent at mathematics, even from an early age..I've seen an Indian boy at age 12 solving complex mathematics correctly without biro and paper and he was home-schooled by his poor parents. He couldn't even attend a proper school due to poverty but his exceptional maths ability is still flourishing unlike Nigerians that blame their environment/government.. To be a genius is a gift and cannot be hidden in any environment. Stop blaming your government and the environment.

If you were a geniuses and smarter than 99 percent of the population. You would not need a professor or a i.q text to figure it out. Its part of being a geniuses. You know stuffs.

If you are an even better geniuses you could have excelled even more in Nigeria giving you in a community of stupid people. It's a lot more easy.

You not a geniuses.

A geniuses will strive in any climate. Not run to a climate that is succeeding already and claim geniusehood.

Your University was right. You in the third class categories.

The stress in Nigeria can kill the brilliance in most people...

You have to pray to get light..
You have to pray to get water..
You have to pray to get admitted into tertiary institution because of quota system, godfatherism,..etc
You have to pray so that no lecturer hates your face....
You have to pray so that there will not be ASUU strike....
You have to join your parents to pray for their pensions to be paid so that you can get your tuition fee...
.
.
.
Everything in Nigeria is prayer because work alone can not see you through......STRESSFULL

Oga, he said he took an IQ test as recommended by the school. No be the school dey do the IQ test.

It doesn't show the high quality of our schools. Schools that can't even rank among the best in Africa. It just shows how the Nigerian educational system is fcked up and makes things unnecessarily harder for its students.

No be only IQ test na QI test angry

Stop making excuses say you no graduate with passing grade. When your mates dey read, you dey enter olosho thread dey waste your time there, now see the result. The people wey dey get first class and 2’1 nko? How many heads them carry? angry

You obviously don’t know much about chess..the country with the highest grandmasters is Russia. India just came up recently. 20 years ago Indians were nowhere in the chess world, the Chinese too. Those countries came up because of the availability of internet and the encouraging environment to play against players from other countries. I have represented my university in nuga games, won a couple of prizes in chess, I can easily play a game of chess blindfolded, I have beaten International masters, fide masters and candidate masters online and yet I don’t consider myself a genius.

Funny enough, I see myself in this category — though I didn't do 3rd class as the course I studied don't do that ranking.

Some of the thoughts I had 10-12 years ago are now becoming a reality. An example is the wireless transmission of electrical energy as an electromagnetic wave. Either December 2020 or January 2021, I saw a video of a phone charging wirelessly across a room.


My latest thought is the scientific model for some of this our African magic scenarios. For example, bilocation. I'm so certain that it will be a reality before the end of this century. Imagine being in an environment where you can present ideas and work on them.

You are right. The country doesn't have a place for brilliant minds to excel.

Nigeria a country where most lecturers are demonic.
In same lands they teach students to grow, prosper and flourish but in Nigeria..they want you to fail. They are happy to have unsuccesful students.
How the education board allows this evil mentality to thrive baffles me.

Do you think that this black problem?

Why are black people always excelling in environments controlled by whites as against environments controlled by blacks?

IQ tests were created by silly racist scientists and that is why they were initially banned in the EU.

A few science lovers took it to the job and education industry and made it a norm.

Same way they said whites were smarter than other races and declassified blacks as the lowest race. And they ran with it and taught it to white students

Quantitative and Aptitude tests never made no one a genius.

He should rethink his discovery.

Better still, I celebrate his victory with him. Any University is better than a Nigerian one. Even if you schooled in Kazakhstan. The University system in Nigeria is still trapped in 1954.

University education in Nigeria is exam focused and not knowledge focused. In an exam focused system, students focus more on scoring A in the exams as against understanding the concepts being taught in the different courses.

And yes, it is possible to score A's in a course without understanding the course. This can be done by focusing on solving past questions and following the lecturer's "AOCs"(examinable parts of a course). At the end, you score an A and come out with first class with little or no knowledge of your course.
False, that's not how shit works.

Nigeria has a very stupid educational system, they will give u 3rd class then when you travel out to further your education abroad, you will end up becoming a top notch there.

Nigeria education system make students feels they don't know book . If he didn't travel out to try outside he would have still be considering himself a 3rd class student.
He is still a third class student, was he the best graduating student in Ife with his third class?

Because of Leroy’s stupidity and clumsiness, his teacher, was always yelling at him, "You're driving me crazy, Leroy!"

One day, Leroy's mother came to school to check on how he was doing. The teacher told his mother honestly, that her son was simply a disaster, getting very low marks, and that she had never seen such a stupid boy in her entire teaching career. The mother was so shocked at the feedback that she withdrew her son from school and moved out of London, and relocated to Birmingham.

Twenty-five years later, the teacher was diagnosed with an almost incurable cardiac disease. All the doctors strongly advised her to have open heart surgery, but there was only one surgeon in Britain who could perform the operation and he was located at the Birmingham Clinic. Left with no other options, the teacher decided to have the operation, which was successful.

When she came round after surgery she saw a handsome young doctor smiling down at her. She wanted to thank him, but could not talk. Her face started to turn blue, she raised her hand, trying to tell him something but quickly died.

The doctor was shocked, wondering what could possibly have gone wrong so suddenly. Then he turned around and saw Leroy, a janitor in the Clinic, who had unplugged the life-support equipment in order to connect his vacuum cleaner.

If you thought for one moment that Leroy had become a heart-surgeon, there is a high likelihood that you may have voted for this government,
This got me smiling for the first time since buhari assumed office.

Nigerian is education is absolute brainwashing. It does not enhance intellectualism and the ability to reason critically. Especially now that schools authorities and exam boards officially aid pupils and students in exam malpractices- the practice known as developmental fees generations in schools.

I didn't mention Russia on purpose.. I mentioned India because I've met a lot of Indians and they're extremely good..The current Number 2 in the World is from India, his name is Anand. The Number 1 is from Norway. I know so much about chess and I play and study moves everyday. Since you claim to be very good at chess and have beaten many International Masters, FIDE masters even blindfolded, why haven't you been recognized and sponsored for any World Chess Championship.. Or is your government stopping you from going? Nigerians just like bragging and making mouth too much.
