The young lady shared a video on her TikTok page @willdivah, explaining how she paid her school fees at the institution.
She said in the TikTok video:
"The lady I usually go to for my school fees payment is not around; they said the network is bad. I've been paying my school fees at the same place, and I was always able to make payments easily."
As the video played, she explained that there is a particular lady who helps her process her school fees and has been doing so for a long time, so she went to meet her.
She shared a photo of the document containing all the different charges she paid for, over 20 of them, and mentioned the total.
According to her, the total reflects what she paid as fees at the University of Ibadan.
The lady wrote in the description of her post:
"Here's what it actually takes to start a PhD in the Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan (might be different for other departments/faculties).
"I am very pro-education, especially when it comes to women getting educated. It's not about smartness or intelligence; it's about putting your mind to something and actually doing it.
"For anyone curious about the process, here's what the journey has looked like so far.
"1. Collected the PhD form (₦22,000 with charges).
"2. Faculty interview (proposal).
"3. Received admission email and was given 6 weeks to complete clearance; otherwise, the admission becomes null.
"4. Paid acceptance fees (₦33,000 with charges) and printed clearance forms.
"5. Completed admission clearance at the Postgraduate School (this was when I started posting vlogs).
"6. Faculty induction (pt. 2)."

A document showing the full breakdown confirms the total amount the PhD student paid in fees at the University of Ibadan.
"7. Paid school fees (₦318,000 with charges). It's important to know that tuition differs across departments. Some go as high as ₦1 million or more.
"I'll give more details as I experience them. Also, I just thought to add: I know most people would rather get educated outside the country, and that is fine. However, my sincere advice is that if it's not happening yet, don't wait. If education is what you really want, you can start from here. It's more affordable, and if you do it in a good school, you'll be better for it.
"Your time is the only real currency you have. Wherever you are, use your time wisely. If you've ever considered doing a PhD, would you do it in Nigeria or abroad?"
