"Funny this wont ever determine the outcome of a northerner in the federal government parastatal. He will go on to be group managing director of NNPC. Yet we from the south will be blocking doors for others telling them to get 2:1. Getting it is good if you can but not a recipe for success."

"If you like let people who paid huge sums of money tell you who you are or where you belong because it's they wrote it on a piece of paper. The world is changing your first class no longer adds value to you. Just a first choice for corporate slavery."
