University of Ibadan student posts 100L CGPA
He shared his story, and many people praised him in the comments section.
The fresh graduate said:
"I’m back to tell my story, just like I promised.
"They say it’s not how you start, but how you finish. My journey at the University of Ibadan is a testament to that."
"I started 100L with a 1.88/4.00 CGPA. It was a Third Class, and honestly, a reality check. By 200L, I moved to 2.29. While it was an improvement, I wasn't satisfied. I knew I could do better."
Due to his low CGPA, which made him unhappy, he sat himself down and thought of a better method, which eventually helped him secure 17 As out of 21 courses in the 300 level.
He said in the TikTok post:
"All that was running through my mind was, 'I can do this."
"I dug in, prayed, overhauled my study habits, and set a clear goal. The result? 300L became my breakthrough year. I secured a whopping 17 As out of 21 courses, pushing my CGPA to 2.81. Everything finally started to make sense."
"Interesting times, yeah, but guess what?"
"In 400L, the pressure mounted, and 'panic stations' trooped in. I ended up with 5 As and several Bs out of 11 courses. I was disappointed, but I remained grateful because it could have been worse. Success isn't a straight line after all."

@dee_obot7 explained that in the 500-level, he was hungry for more and had 13 As out of 17 courses, a feat that helped him graduate with a better grade.
He said:
"By 500L, I was extremely calm but hungry. I aimed to replicate my 17-A streak; I fell slightly short with 13 As out of 17, but the mission was accomplished."
"My final results are in:"
"OBOT, Idongesit Ime."
"B.Agric (Agricultural Extension and Rural Development)
"Second Class Honours (Upper Division)
"University of Ibadan"
"I made it. I am deeply grateful to God for the strength to stay the course. To anyone currently staring at a result they aren't proud of: I dare you to dream, because I did and worked for it."
"What’s next?"
"I have a strong knack for data analysis, particularly as it relates to the complexities of the agribusiness supply chain. I am open to collaborations, roles, and opportunities where I can apply my technical skills to help organizations grow."

Legit.ng spoke with OBOT, Idongesit Ime, who, despite his 100 level result, finished with a very good CGPA.
OBOT, Idongesit Ime, a graduate of the University of Ibadan, had taken to social media to explain that he had a very low CGPA in 100 level, and while he improved on this and eventually graduated with a first class, he shared his opinion on the things he did that helped him academically and how he felt when he saw his 100 level result.
When asked about his 100-level CGPA and how it made him feel, he explained:
"To be honest, I was disappointed. I knew I could do way better and something needed to change. It was tough, but I dared to dream; super grateful to God that it paid off. I appreciate your kind words."
He didn't let his 100-level CGPA of 1.8 bring him down, but instead, it motivated him to work harder.
In the 300-level and other years, he got multiple As in his courses and spoke about what helped him secure these multiple As.
"Well, my mindset changed. I stopped settling for less; I genuinely believed I could get straight As. The truth is, once you adopt this, failure doesn’t stand a chance because at worst, you’d get a “B” and that’s fine."
He also mentioned that he finished with a CGPA of 3.04 from the university.
Lastly, he gave advice to students who might have found themselves in such situations on how to improve their academic results.
OBOT, Idongesit Ime shared:
"Well, 'acknowledging' that there is a problem is the first step, i.e., you know that you can do better. It really is, but trust me; anyone struggling right now has the potential to change his/her story. It’s never too late, even in final year. A little effort put in to move from a 1.94 to a 2.12 in final year is worth celebrating."
He shared tips students can follow or adopt that would help improve their results:
"1. Pray."
"2. Set clear goals for each session; you could do per month or per week. Try and have a good CA in all your courses and study well for your exams as well. Don’t depend on 'Omo, let me just get 25 in CA, I’ll get 50 in exam'; try and strike a balance."
"The way it works, yeah, it’s not about how hard you read, but rather how well. Try to understand how each lecturer asks questions and what he expects, because they clearly have a marking scheme or whatnot. And let’s say he gives your script to someone to mark based on the marking scheme, he/she wouldn’t be lenient compared to if the lecturer marked it himself; he might pardon you since he was the one that taught you. So, it’s very important to understand what each lecturer wants and how they ask their questions and 9 out of 10 times, the most brilliant students in class always have an idea of what would come out in exams."
