A 3rd class mathematics product of UI may be liken to 2.2 of most universities

This is bullshit. The same crap my fellow FUTO graduates yap about. Suffering Olympic.

My friend, just laminate your certificate and take it to your village or home town and hide it there, then come back to the city and hit the street. Think with your brain work with your hands, create the jobs and employ the 2.1 and first class.

You will realise that the best thing that happen to you is your making a third class, because it will liberate you from the slavery of job which is the main character of a first class and 2.1 holder.

Almost all our millionaires are either drop outs or 3rd class holders. I have not seen a first class holder who is not working for somebody (probably the 3rd class guy )

So op just take full advantage of your third class.

U will be employ soon don't give up

ammyluv2002:
Thank you for saying the truth and encouraging the OP!

Lol. Try and expand ur horizon.

Why not....

Don't begin to doubt about yourself
It's not about degree.. It's about grace of God....
Belief in yourself...
God will guide you

Yes you can get a very good job. It's all about you, don't let the 3rd class dictate you.
Talking from experience. Take it

Yes!, you can ''get'' a job if you ''get'' a God...

of course you can, apply with ur diploma, work a bit, then present ur degree certificate, since you are already in the system, there ain't nothing they can do but I hope ur grade does not also represent ur capabilities & experience.

or Pay to God ( surest way to get job quickly, cause you get what's best for you)

Get a Godfather

how many times u guyz kip asking this same 3rd question... Anybody can get a job even with ..Just hope u get lucky or try self venture d surest path in d fvckin country right now

The Head of in my company is a third class holder. It depends on what you can contribute.

This your 3rd class might be the blessing you need in life ...

Yes even if u had a degree, just have friends in government but in your next life read hard

You guys are missing the question. He didn't ask if he can be successful in life, he asked if he can get a job.

Well, don't let me deceive you like some others in name of "encouragement", my guy! Higher grade can't even boast of getting a job without connection. However, if your father has connection (immanmadu "Im" Igbo kwenu!!) I'm sure you won't come here to ask this question.

As it stands, the question that people are answering here; which is "if you can be successful" ..... Why not? But that is if you use your "lamba" 6si and innovati to kiriate empuloymenti.....

Good luck!

No offence pls, even in my set 2/3 of mth students finished with 3rd class nd I dnt knw y.

Bk to d ish, my cousin graduated with 3rd class bt with connection, he has bein wrkin with NAMA for 5yrs nw. Married with children, car nd house. Infact, he's on hajj nw with his mom.

Conclusion: d class doesnt matter, d right info and connection does. Best of luck

No company/school will want to employ u with ur grade unless u av Long Leg ( Connection) my advice for u is jst to go into ICT u can learn Digital marketing, graphic design, app development, or find some cash and invest in Agric business

"I'm" or "I am" are the most appropriate.

By the way, what did you do with all the time you saved from abbreviating?

wickyyolo:

Huh! Ask him, he knows the owner of the company personally or someone in top position there who actually knows that he can contribute irrespective of his class of degree.

They won't even give you the chance to show if you can contribute or not with such class of degree. Except if of course you are known personally.

bodmas01:
God Bless You. I have a friend with third class in English from OAU and she works with a financial multinational company in Lagos. A job is definitely out there for you. Have a good mindset.

Your friend is a dullard, what is so very difficult in ENGLISH that she could not even graduate with at least a 2.2?

PoisonedOne:
No! You don't need a job, most 3rd class graduates always end up creating jobs and employing others instead. They think they're not good enough to compete in the shrinking job market and tend to work towards establishing themsleves.

Don't bother yourself trying too hard to get a job thereby allowing other people to judge your intelligence and decide whether you're good enough or not (based on the fact you had a 3rd class). You can prove to yourself you're street smart and use your brain and work hard.

Some are good ing what they're taught while others are good creating what to be taught. You can create what to be taught by working hard and smart to be successful ; I tell you solemnly, people will throng in droves to ask you how you became so successful. The true test of intelligence is not by being successful in school, it's by being successful in life.

Thumbs up

I just sent you a pm

@OP what happened in approximately 4years of your life does not and cannot determine your entire future. What counts is your attitude from now on.

I know someone who graduated with a third class. She spent some money to get a skill, did some small jobs, etc. But today, she is gainfully employed and doing very well financially.

Once again, it is your attitude that counts.

It's an information age, an ICT driven age. Can you even afford to not equip yourself with software skills? Forget it's not your field, it's today as much as the future. You'd always need to develop competency in programming to be an authority in your field few years to come. Techies know this. You, too, can become a software developer. It takes nothing but your dedication. So, how?

Ask yourself, are you wise?
A 3rd class mathematics product of UI may be liken to 2.2 of most universities
1st class hasn't gotten a job, do you know favour might locate you.
Why building a low self esteem?
If evaluated, you could perform better than some 2.2 and 2.1 in the market because the quality of some of the products in the market are very poor.
Mathematics can be define as the process of demolishing a building without using a bulldozer. You are good jaree.
Do you know that some employers also understand that reason for low academic grade is not actually lack of basic knowledge about the discipline.
Some companies still absolve lower grades because one still need to undergo training on using their applications and other facilities.
Its only a numskull that can not get a job after attending a university[even a lucrative ones]. The only difference is the race. If other are running 1mile, you have to be ready to run 2miles.
I agree that 2.1 and 2.2 are popularly demanded in the market but not in every cases.
Have it in mind to enroll for PGD


Yes you can get a job if you have the right information.

God blesses Yiu

no, but a 3rd class degree holder can have a business and employ a first class degree holder. job opportunity is chocked, stop looking for job and create or own job

Those who bribed their way through to a second class upper etc. Cannot compare themselves with those who worked their way to a third class. Third class is still honours.

OP listen to this man.

"....3rd class in UI can be likened to 2.2 in most universities...." Why? How? Did you attend most universities? I don't know why Nigerians keeping making such baseless comparisons...
Apart from that unnecessary phrase, you made other good points. OP are there even jobs? Yes you can get a job but at the same time get creative

The Nigerian Civil Service love you guys. Just work your way around how they employ so many of your grade mates and you'll be fine.

To answer your question, Yes, 3rd class graduates get jobs.

So a third class degree holder will create job for a first class degree holder? Between the two, who needs supervision? Those with first class brains should be out there solving problems through research and innovation.

I know Igbo men billionaires who do not know how the four walls of a class room looks like, they employ a number of first class graduates..so yes, a graduate can employ a first class one
