Congratulations! However, I hope you are not a product of sorting or mam know man because I am aware of happenings in some university in this country. It is let for you to prove authenticity of this grade and to show that it is not a fluke. In Nigeria the equation in some cases goes this way: primary sch - no failures or repetition of class because of the cost and the proprietor does not want to lose student number,Secondary schools: same and massive cheating in public exams including miracle centres, Tertiary institutions: massive sorting and cheating including buying of grades. All these garnished by cultism, strikes,sex for marks or sexual harrassment and students protests. Hope you understand this equation.
ReplyDeleteNo be lie sha. But sorting to get that type of result is unlikely
DeleteYou are a moron sorting can never get you 5.0 GP stop beefing and congratulate the guy. It can only come from God.
