Lady who graduated with 3rd class admits she employs 1st class graduates and pays them

- A Nigerian lady identified as Farida on Twitter has revealed that she is a third class graduate who employs people with first class

- Farida added that she earns what people with first class cannot imagine earning

- Farida is a software developer

In Nigeria, there is a stigma attached to people who graduated with a third class or a pass. Gaining reasonable employment becomes a task for them as employers seek people with better grades.

However, a young software developer identified as Farida (@reedahkh) on Twitter has revealed that she graduated with a third class but she now employs first class graduates and pays them as well.

The young lady added that she never used her certificate for her achievements and she earns more that the first class graduate can imagine. See her tweet below:

Explaining further, Farida added that one's class of degree or certificate does not determine one's success in life and that people with third class can become very successful and vice versa.

However, Farida admitted that she used to feel hopeless because of her result and she became motivated to do better. According to her, she graduated top of her class in software development but the certificate did not help her get a job.

Finally, she added that she employs people based on their capacity as a developer and not their result from the university.

Despite Farida's impressive story, a few Twitter users felt she gave a generalized opinion by saying she earns more that people can imagine. See some comments below:

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
