Ndubuisi Emmanuel Ikechukwu, a former student of the
University of Lagos (UNILAG), says the institution “almost killed him” with
frustrations over poor academic results.
Ikechukwu, who now works with Microsoft, an American
multinational technology company, brought the revelation to light in a thread
on Twitter.
It all started when a Twitter user initiated a conversation
on the microblogging platform, asking other users to introduce themselves with
what almost killed them in life.
Reacting to the post, Ikechukwu wrote: “Hi, I’m UNILAG”. He then buttressed his point with a screenshot of the transcript issued to him by the varsity.

The result of his last semester as a second-year student of
electrical and electronics engineering at UNILAG showed that he did poorly in
most of the courses he took at the time.
A breakdown of the result also showed that he had four Fs,
two Es, three Ds with only one credit in the courses he took.
Ikechukwu has, however, continued to blaze the trail since
he left UNILAG and reportedly travelled to the United States to further his
study.
In a post in October, the young man flaunted a medal which
he won in a hacking contest as well as his identity card as a staff with
Microsoft.

His revelation has since provoked several reactions on
Twitter, with many taking to the microblogging platform to also share their
experiences at the institution.
“UNILAG breaks you. Then it slowly kills you. I’ve broken.
Remaining death,” a user wrote.
“Many Nigerian public universities are the problems tbvh.
The system makes you fell like you’re not doing enough, even when you actually
put in your all,” another user wrote.
Below are other reactions:
Unilag students ranting of how wicked their lecturers are is crazy. Una lecturers still be upcoming ritualists beside OAU Lecturers. One time, one man said he added 20marks to everyone score cos to mass failure and my guy still get 19. Well, he fit don borrow 1mark before sha.

Lmao Nigeroans will tell you that's what they love about UNILAG and these other Federal Unis.

The Lecturers put you through suffering so you can grow like Batman, not like those private unis where everyone can pass and get first class. https://t.co/L9VT8Zes6u
If you see my first result from unilag and my first result from howard university side by side, you won’t believe it’s from the same person.

Nigerian federal universities are designed to make students fail and only God knows what they gain from doing that. https://t.co/yV9K8YUq2x
The saddest part of this is that, if he was still in UNILAG, he would not have graduated yet. But he left and this young man has actually done a lot.
