Rather than celebrating the close of his undergraduate journey, he described the moment as one of profound grief.
The Pain Behind the CGPA
In his own words, Bambam Bilo wrote:
"3.49. The sharpest pain I've felt asides that of losing my father when I was a teenager. I believe nothing can stop my greatness still."
The comparison to losing a parent spoke to just how far below his personal expectations the result had fallen.
A CGPA of 3.49 in Nigerian universities typically falls just short of a Second Class Upper degree, which requires a 3.50 threshold at most institutions, meaning the margin between his result and a higher classification was razor-thin.
Moving Forward to Law School
Despite the pain, the graduate did not close his post on defeat. He thanked Olabisi Onabanjo University and shifted his gaze forward, expressing hope of performing better at the Nigerian Law School.
"Thank you Olabisi Onabanjo University. It's so Sad, I don't even know what to type. I hope to do better in Law school in sha Allah," he wrote.
The post resonated with many Nigerians who understand the pressure tied to degree classifications, particularly for law graduates where academic standing can influence career opportunities and bar placement outcomes.
