Just last week, someone commented that my low cut made me look masculine, which was surprising given my bold earrings and pink lipstick. Then, this week, someone else said they actually prefer me with a low cut rather than when I wear wigs. These contrasting opinions show that people will always have different perspectives, and no single choice will please everyone. The bigger lesson? The world will adjust, so be true to yourself. As Ebenezer Obey says, “Ko sogbon table da....”
@OxLudwig@bubbles_debs Seriously? This dim wit just compared morning erection to menstruation? 😂 goodness! What will I not see on this internet. The person that said silence is the best answer for a fool had someone like this in mind cos they couldn’t stoop so intellectually low to curate a response
Watched this today and I’m wondering why Fola didn’t just get a divorce.
Tega didn’t deserve all of that just because he wasn’t giving her enough time and attention at home.
She’s either too wicked or her character just wasn’t developed enough for her actions to make sense.
If I see or hear anyone compare an abroad Distinction with a Nigerian First Class, …
A Distinction abroad isn’t as rigorous as a Nigerian First Class. And I’m making this claim as someone who holds both a First-Class degree from a Nigerian public university and a Distinction from a U.S. public institution (My master’s was awarded with Distinction, and I completed my PhD coursework with a perfect 4.00/4.00 GPA at an R1 U.S. university.).
First, check the percentage of students who earn a Distinction abroad versus those who earn a First Class in Nigerian “public” universities.
For example: EBSU, Class of 2019. Out of 1,924 graduating students, only six of us earned a First Class, university-wide, across all campuses. Fact-check me (Ebonyi State University, 2019. Only six).
There’s no European or American university where only six students earn a Distinction at an annual graduation ceremony. None! They’re usually in the hundreds, if not thousands, every single semester.
You earned a Distinction in the UK or somewhere in Europe? Congratulations! But don’t ever use that as a yardstick to underrate a Nigerian First-Class degree.
When you hear that only a few persons or no one made First Class at a public university’s convocation in Nigeria, it simply means that the expectations for a First-Class CGPA are “TOO HIGH” and often beyond reach. In fact, as an undergrad, I could count up to 50 students in my class and cohort who would have easily graduated with Distinction if EBSU were a school in the UK or US. They were very, very intelligent guys but couldn’t meet the extremely high First-Class bar.
A 70/100 as an A grade may seem low-stakes until you actually try to achieve it. Nigerian professors are very tough graders. In fact, an average Nigerian university exam is set with two intentions: The primary intention is to make you fail, and the secondary intention is to test your knowledge. For a 3-hour exam, you’d spend most of the time trying to understand the questions, because, if you rush the questions, their first intention is automatically achieved. This explains why in Nigeria, “understanding a question is part of the answer.”
Our education system has its flaws just like any education system anywhere in the world. No system is perfect. But I will not sit back and watch anyone underrate a Nigerian First-Class degree. I have one and I know the intensity of the fire I went through to be among the only six who bagged it in my cohort.
Distinction wey “almost everybody” dey collect for abroad? Nigerian Third-Class graduates dey bag Distinction for abroad normally. Na bad government we get, don’t play with our education system. The rigor choke, and that’s part of the reasons why Nigerians excel everywhere they go.
