Hannah of Olad as the name on Twitter profile indicates has taken to timeline to pour her heart out over the high level of difficulty attached to graduating with a first class degree in Nigerian public university.
Hannah said it is simply a glorification of suffering to insist that attaining first class degree must be a herculean task at federal universities.
She also said private universities has been fair when it comes to rewarding students’ hard work.
IkejaBird gathered that Covenant University, a Nigerian private university, recently announced at its 2022 convocation that over 200 students graduated with a first class degree.
Hannah said: “Federal Universities really need to stop glorifying hardship and suffer head in the name of ‘learning’.
“Somebody needs to tell them that producing 0.2% first class graduates during convocation is not the flex they think it is.”
“I’m happy to see CU first class graduates all over my timeline. Their hardwork was rewarded. Unlike some universities I know,” she said.

A graduate is a graduate anywhere and no one will consider you for going through extra stress to get a degree…..annoying but the story is not for today sha !!!#OAUTwitter.”
Mercy (@Adaigbogeneral) said: “Federal universities are the best. It is better to produce 0% first class than to produce 50% first class who wouldn’t even know what a hypothesis is. God please give us Mr Peter Obi as our next president. I want my children to attend federal universities.”
Abibu Daniel (@dannyintricate): “But really come to think of it nobody dey fail students o. Most people no just serious. Everyone is chasing the bag especially in final year at public institutions. If you deserve it they will give it to you. Socioeconomic disparity between students is to blame.“
