"In as much as I really do not enjoy what I’m about to do, it is considered necessary to voice out my feelings about the University of Lagos."

"More than most of us would love to admit, Unilag is a toxic school that reflects the toxic relationships we’ve all had to endure in our individual lives. UNILAG taught us to accept against our will, tolerate what is obviously wrong, and to not question authority (I wonder how we will become nation builders this way). Instead, we should be ‘grateful’ to be a part of this ‘prestigious university’, lol."

Speaking honestly about her experience at the University of Lagos, @celinesnailsbar wrote:

"I did not experience Unilag as a citadel of learning; we were barely in class. Unilag kept us away longer than it kept us close. It got to a point where it felt like a secret, toxic situationship I had to occasionally admit to being a part of. Sickening!"

"As someone pursuing a second degree at the University of Lagos, I expected it to be a quick breeze in and out. This is because I believed, as a fresh graduate from a college of education, I had a higher chance of success since I studied the same course where I was coming from. It was a bitter case of what I expected vs what I received."

Despite everything she went through in school, she did not let it affect her life, as she made good use of her time to become productive.

She continued in the TikTok post:

"But it led me to discover a better part of myself, one that has shaped my growth and identity for the past 6 years. The constant return to our various homes adjusted my focus to what will serve me better now, in my present, and even better in my future."

"The environment encouraged my entrepreneurial mindset and provided a growing space for me and my brand. It also shifted my mindset and general perspective towards life and the people in it."

"I soon realized the versatile environment I was in and how to become a part of it without losing my sense of self in the process."

"But a part of me still won’t forgive it for killing my academic spirit. Opeyemi 10 years ago was the best everywhere she represented, a significant academic scholar, loved by many. Please, my grade is not bad; I’m just mad I lost interest in the ‘first class’ thing from day one. Second class is still a hot cake, maybe lol."

"My loving grandma, I did this all for you. Your love and support from day one, I can’t tell it all, it deserves its own appreciation. You’re the only reason I stay grounded."

"To my Aunt Laolu, you’re a true role model, and Opeyemi is a reflection of you, of course, in the hustle aspect. I won’t stop wearing my short dresses and open chest, sorry. Love you so so much."

"To all the friends I made in uni!!! Omooooooooo, how did I get so lucky? Me? Blessed with all these amazing people? Wow! Too many names to mention, but the ones I cannot refuse to name: Wendy, Hadiza, Kunle, Ayomide, Jadesola, Purity, Eniola. Too many participants, but I love you all equally.
