In a TikTok post by @tolani_o, the lady posted her convocation photo, alongside a message her classmate sent to her.
She showed the screenshot of an anonymous message sent to her on her class group chat, where someone wished her dead.
The message read:
“Ya’ll should remember this. Cuz we will all attend Tolani's obituary b4 we wrap up final year (not a threat)pure doings. Mark todays date.”
She captioned the photo:
“While someone hid behind anonymity wishing me gone, God stood openly and crowned me a graduate. I'm thankful.They said obituary. God said convocation. Case closed!!!!!.”
She added in the comments:
“God did. The amount of times i checked the text then and wondered what i did to that person because i don’t even talk to my coursemates.”
In a chat with Legit.ng, Tolani shared how she felt after she got the anonymous death threat from her coursemate.
She said:
"Receiving that message in 2024 made me feel very uneasy and confused, especially because I did not have any known issues with anyone in my department. At that point, I was focused on my academic journey and looking forward to convocation, so the message was quite disturbing.
"In my final year, I had started interacting more with some of my coursemates, which made the situation even more confusing for me. I chose not to share the message with anyone, not even my parents, because I didn’t want to worry them or give the situation more emotional weight.
"Instead, I committed everything to prayer and told myself that if I successfully made it through and graduated, I would eventually share the story. Graduating despite that experience felt like a personal victory over whoever sent the message. I later deleted the message from my phone because anytime I came across it, it made me feel uneasy. Removing it was part of how I protected my peace and healed from the experience."
