From severe anxiety to UI first class
In an X post by @Ayo_Oyedijo, the lady narrated how she only entered first class for the first time in her final year.
She also opened up about battling severe anxiety while in school, but she kept showing up.
The lady, appreciating God for her success, wrote in her X post:
“I graduated with an LL.B (Hons), First Class from the University of Ibadan. I went from a 3.43 CGPA to finishing with a 3.57/4.0, entering First Class for the first time in my final year. I battled severe anxiety, but I kept showing up. God did!"

"Btw, I am interested in licensing, publishing, and rights management within the Music Business and Entertainment Law, Intellectual Property (IP) Law space. I'm actively seeking opportunities, internships, or projects in these areas to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully."
In a chat with Legit.ng, Ayo shared why she chose to study law.
Her words:
"I chose to study Law because I wanted a field that would give me both structure and flexibility. At the time I made the decision, I was still exploring my interests, particularly in media and communication.
"Law stood out to me as a discipline that trains you to think critically, communicate effectively, and engage with real-world issues across different sectors. I did not want to feel boxed into one path too early, and Law offered the freedom to explore, while also giving me a solid professional foundation."
