She said:

"It started in 2019 when I got admitted into the Human Anatomy department. I studied up to 300 level—just one session left to graduate—and my parents advised me to switch to Nursing. Nursing had always been my passion, but the resources weren’t available at the time. Still, we pushed through, I took the change of course form, and began the journey again in the Nursing department."

When she switched to nursing, Victory said the course felt strange and touch, both mentally and financialy, but she refused to give up.

She noted:

"It felt strange. The courses were confusing compared to Anatomy, but I kept pushing. The road became tough… and I must say, Nursing is financially demanding. I saw hell. And the worst part is that no one cares whether you can pay or not—you must pay your bills on time. I cried. I prayed. I begged God for strength. For years, my only prayer point was to have food to eat. And God came through for me."

She said:

"People asked me if I wasn’t done with school yet, or if I was repeating levels. Many times, I answered with shame. I watched two sets graduate before it was finally my turn—even people I entered school before. But I did my part, and God crowned my efforts. On the 4th of December 2025, I signed out of the university. A journey that took me 7 long years to complete."
