The video showed her at a photo studio during her graduation, taking memorable shots while reflecting on her journey. She shared a detailed account of her success, writing:
"Being an A grade student from junior secondary school… I told myself that I wouldn’t let academic validation matter to me once I enter university and that was where my problems started—THE WRONG MINDSET.
In 100 level I did fairly good with 3.6 CGPA and I wasn’t even trying because I was spending my time on other things like trying to be face of my department—which I won (face of NUNSA 2020-2022) and just having fun because I knew that my 100 level grade would not be added to my total cumulative at the end of my uni journey.
But as I entered 200 level the courses were all new and I didn’t quite understand most of them and instead of studying I just relaxed and kept on reminding myself that I didn’t need academic validation so even if I got a “D” in a course I was so happy as long as I didn’t fail."
"When I got to 300 level it became even worse; the courses were harder. I remember one time I got a 6/30 in my pharmacology test and my lecturer insulted me to the point I didn’t even know when I burst out crying. When I was alone, I knew I didn’t want that for myself, then I started from learning how to calculate my CGPA—imagine a 300 level student that cannot calculate CGPA… The next semester I decided to study hard and see what could happen, and for the first time I got a 4.7 GPA and I couldn’t believe my result.
I had to ask my roommate to help me confirm the matric number… I was so proud but I knew myself and I knew without motivation I would slowly go back to that loop. So I decided to ask my course mate if she needed a reading partner, and she told me she already had but she can introduce me to them if I would like to join.
I was honestly open to grow and learn and ever since then my GPA didn’t go lower than 4. I’m just so grateful to God for helping me trace my steps quickly and for blessing me with a fast assimilating brain.
I couldn’t have done it without God, my friends, and my reading partners who never fail to remind me of how smart I am and how much I inspire people by being able to stay consistent with content creation and nursing… y’all are so amazing, I love you 🥹… Even though I can’t stop thinking of the fact that I may have been graduating with a first class if I locked in sooner, God is good … I’m posting this to remind you that it’s not too late to LOCK IN!"*
She encouraged other students to follow her steps, highlighting that improving academically is achievable with focus, dedication, and the right support system.

"Jesus your caption is really the story of my life. I had 3.5 in 100lvl but then in 200 I had depression and chronic social anxiety and my grade went rock bottom, I tried picking up in 300lvl but my social anxiety came in the way again. Although I picked up a bit it but the difference isn’t much with my 200lvl grade I’m entering 400lvl, my social anxiety is getting better, still don’t have any friends but at this point I don’t care anymore.
