How Esther graduated with a first class
"CGPA: 4.93. Graduating as the second-best graduating student in my department and the third-best graduating student in my faculty. Even as I type this, it still feels surreal," she said.
What makes her story particularly compelling is that she was not studying in isolation. Throughout her time at Adeleke University, Esther was involved in student politics and chapel activities, commitments that eat into the time many students dedicate purely to academics.
Despite that, she kept her education as her primary focus, a decision she says was central to her outcome.
In a follow-up video on her TikTok page, @totesbyesther broke down the five things she did consistently during her studies:
1. Determination
2. I took my academics seriously
3. I planned to attend all my lectures
4. Know your lecturers
5. Take your CA very seriously
The 5 steps Esther followed
The list covers both mindset and practical habits. Determination sits at the top, pointing to the role of intentionality before any strategy kicks in. Attending lectures consistently and taking continuous assessment seriously speak to the day-to-day discipline she maintained across her years on campus.
Her advice to get to know lecturers is particularly pointed. For many Nigerian university students, understanding how individual lecturers structure their courses, what they emphasise, and how they mark can make a meaningful difference in performance over time.
Esther's post has resonated with students and recent graduates who recognise the challenge of balancing personal ambitions with academic demands, particularly in a university environment where distractions are constant.
Legit.ng contacted the first-class graduate of Adeleke University, Oni Esther Abisola, to get more insight into her story after she graduated with a strong CGPA.
During the exclusive chat, she spoke about why she chose her course.
Esther shared:
"I wanted a healthcare-related career, but I knew I preferred working behind the scenes, so Medical Laboratory Science was the perfect fit for me."
On her biggest challenge, she told Legit.ng:
"One of my biggest challenges was balancing academics with the other things I was involved in. It wasn't always easy, but I learned to manage my time, stay disciplined, prioritize what mattered most, and remain focused on my goals."
On whether she ever failed a course, she said:
"No, I never failed a course. There were times I got really tired and felt overwhelmed, but giving up was never an option. I studied based on the difficulty of each course and my strength, not the course units. If I didn't understand a course, I kept reading it until I did."
