This is the video where he told the public about his plans:
However, in a new video shared on TikTok with his username, @mikkyx__, Michael confirmed that he had fulfilled his promise. He recorded himself standing outside the school gate of UNILAG while speaking confidently about his faith.
"So I told you guys that I’m going to travel down to UNILAG to pray for my admission for Medicine and Surgery with 144 in JAMB. And some people were telling me that I’m lying, that I can’t travel to UNILAG just because of prayer. Well, here I am. Can you see behind me? That’s the University of Lagos. And I’ve come to pray," he said.
The young boy added that people would soon recognise him in public, stating that he believed strongly in God’s intervention.
He said:
"Somebody saw me now and was like, 'I recognise you from TikTok.' Don’t worry, all of you will recognise me in UNILAG very soon. Before the end of the year, I’m going to get into the school by the special grace of God."
