Reacting to Oluwakemi's feat, a Czech Republic-based educational consultant, Ijeomah Murphy told Legit.ng:

"People who graduated with 3rd class in their first degree in a Nigerian school have gone abroad and graduated with first class and vice versa.

"It’s not a generic thing; it’s usually based on the individual in question and the enabling environment to perform better."

A Canada-based Nigerian educational consultant had shared how graduates with 2.2 or third-class degrees can secure full scholarships.

Although the journey was a bit tough, as she once got rejected by a scholarship body for not meeting up to the CGPA, she refused to give up. The resilient young lady subsequently bagged two fully funded scholarships and was given the opportunity to choose one. In her words:

"If you graduated with a 2:2 like me, this post is for you. For years, I doubted my ability to bag any scholarship for my Masters degree because many scholarship granting organizations often stated clearly that they would rather a minimum of 2:1. "
