A Nigerian student who graduated with a third class from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife, travels abroad and earns a first-class grade.
Moral lesson: It's easier to graduate with first class abroad or overseas than in Nigeria.
In Nigeria, you will be made to pass through unrelated units loads that have no bearing and relevance to your course of studies.
Again, Nigerian universities subjects students especially engineering and science students to complex mathematics, statistics, and algebra that have little or no practical relevance and which students find difficult to relate with thereby making them score very low in those courses.
Worst still, those courses which are the most difficult have the highest credit units; some 3, 4 or even 6. And you know what it means to score a "D" in a 6 units course.
