In a chat with Legit.ng, the scholar shared how he gained admission into UI, stating that law was not his first choice.

He said:

"Law was never really my first choice tbh. At my JAMB registration, I choose Linguistics. It was after I saw my JAMB score (283) that I decided to have a change of course to study Law, from Linguistics.

"To me, it was more of a gamble. And I really wanted the challenge, any other course in the humanities field, except economics, would have been boring to me."

Sharing his academic journey, Oladejo added:

"I graduated from Covenant University Secondary at the age of 15, I was really worried about my age because I thought it would be an hindrance to my admission.

"For my WAEC, it wasn't that bad. I had 3As, some Bs and Cs. I also wrote NECO, and I also had an A in government as well (same with WAEC).

"For my UTME, I was the third highest among the arts students. The first with the combination of ENG, LIT, GOVT, CRS... I actually regret not doing ECONS in Jamb because the two top did it and had crazier results.

"Like I mentioned, my admission in UI Law was like a gamble. I wasn't 16 yet. I only choose Law because I wanted the challenge. And I unexpectedly got in.

"But during my stay in UI, I would say I got bored of Law from 200 level but I still tried to finish with a second class upper. This was mainly because I started dabbling into Web3, tech and also academic writing (ghost writing)."
