University of Ibadan graduate shows her CGPAs
At the beginning of her post, the UI graduate Ifeoluwa Bukola Ademola clarified her result:
She wrote:
"I didn’t graduate with a First Class."
"I didn’t graduate with a Second Class Upper."
"I graduated with a Second Class Lower and I’m not ashamed of it."
"Before university, I was the Senior Girl in secondary school. So no, it was never about intelligence or capability. Life, however, had other lessons lined up."
Despite being a senior girl in secondary school, she mentioned that she spent several years at home, and even when she finally gained admission, her first year did not start well.
In her LinkedIn post, Ifeoluwa Bukola Ademola mentioned her CGPA as well as the number of carryovers she had.
She explained:
"After spending four years at home, I finally gained admission. My first year didn’t start well. I wasn’t in the right state of mind, and it reflected in my results."
"First semester: 1.30 CGPA with two carryovers."
"Second semester: 2.05 CGPA."
"At that point, it felt like the end. But encouragement came genuinely from people who believed in me - Oyindamola Adeyanju, Rasheedat Oguntola - when I struggled to believe in myself."
Despite the early setbacks, she focused on her academics and improved gradually, but despite her efforts, she still finished with a Second Class Lower degree.

UI graduate finishes with 2.88 CGPA
She continued:
"Sis Yemi and my then Popsy, Ayomide Afolayan, reached out, and those messages mattered more than they may ever know. I’m sorry I didn’t make it to 2:1 as I promised, but I’m grateful for the strength your words gave me."
"Then came steady progress:"
"Year 2: 2.48"
"Year 3: 2.73"
"Year 4: 2.88"
"By my final year, I hoped to make the last push to 2:1. Final year came with heavier responsibilities, mentally, financially, and emotionally. I gave my best, even when my best didn’t produce the outcome I hoped for."
"And here’s what I've learned:"
"Start strong if you can."
"If you don’t, start again."
"Progress is not always loud, but it counts."
"Two months after my final exams, I chose to focus not on the class I didn’t get, but on the resilience I built, the consistency I learned, and the person I became."
