Daniel Kadiri's first-class achievement
Writing on his page, Kadiri declared:
"Reintroducing… DANIEL ESHIOTIENAMHE KADIRI, GMCPN. B.Sc. (Hons.) Software Engineering, First Class Honors. Grateful to God for carrying me throughout this journey."
The Babcock University graduate studied in the Department of Engineering, where he completed the Software Engineering programme before the age of 20.
No failed courses, just pressure
In an exclusive conversation with Legit.ng, @kodexthecreator confirmed the finer details of what he described as a demanding but rewarding academic journey.
"I graduated with first class honours, finishing with a CGPA of 4.50,"
He told Legit.ng.
When asked whether he had ever failed any course during his studies, he was direct.
"I never failed a course, but I faced moments of intense pressure,"
He said.
His words suggest that the clean academic record did not come without its challenges. Rather than a smooth, effortless ride, Kadiri's journey through one of Nigeria's most academically rigorous private universities involved navigating stress and high expectations, even if the results ultimately reflected nothing short of excellence.
Graduating with a 4.50 CGPA at 19 places Kadiri among a rare group of young Nigerians whose academic output has matched the ambitions many of their age carry.
Legit.ng contacted Daniel Kadiri, a first-class graduate of Babcock University, for a brief chat after his story was shared online.
He mentioned that he gained admission in 2022 and graduated exactly four years later with a first class degree.
"I gained admission in 2022, and I graduated in 2026. I graduated with First Class Honors, finishing with a CGPA of 4.50."
The graduate, who is from Edo State, explained to Legit.ng what inspired him to study Software Engineering:
"Growing up, I had always wanted to do something with computing, and knowing how to create software products was really fascinating to me, hence the decision to study Software Engineering."
Lastly, he spoke about his experience in school and what helped him achieve a high CGPA.
On his experience in school, he said:
"To be honest, it was very wholesome but incredibly challenging. It started with the typical 'fresher' struggles of trying to navigate my way around campus, then constantly balancing my academics with building my design career and eventually navigating the startup ecosystem, along with the quality people I met through the various communities I joined."
On the study habits or strategies that helped him achieve his academic results, he said:
"Consistency was everything. As much as I was designing, I made reading a daily habit rather than waiting for exams or tests. I also surrounded myself with a solid community like the CCI Babcock MAP and my department friends, which kept me grounded and focused."
