Despite her high score, she could not secure her desired course, Nursing, on her first attempt. Undeterred, she sat for the examination again and moved the bar even higher.

He wrote:

"She went again and this time scored 303 in Jamb, top 3 in her post Jamb in UI Nursing and the rest they say is history. Today she's been inducted and will be taking oaths."

From 'spoilt brat' to nurse

The man jokingly described his sister as having been a "spoilt brat" because their mother had retired from the strict discipline used on the older brothers. However, he noted that her love for education was always evident.

He expressed his joy at seeing the "sweet little girl" grow into a graduate. The post was accompanied by a photo of Elizabeth looking professional in her medical scrubs.
