"295. This was my score in the first JAMB I wrote, back then in 2020."
"UI Medicine and Surgery....... Exactly my first choice."
"I began to hear different voices of discouragements..... of distractions..... of 'change your course or institution.'"
"But I didn't answer. I love UI so much. It's UI or nothing. I began reading for UI Post-UTME, as far back as 2021."
"I needed 86/100, at least, to meet up with the cut-off mark..... from my own calculation."
"86. That's a big score."
"86/100."
"It's okay."
"I started reading. Reading really hard."
"Expectations were very high.... Ohhh..... I can't even afford to disappoint my parents. God..... I just need 86. UI Post-UTME came. And I received the greatest shock of my life, 66/100."
"Ahhh........ 66. I haven't cried the way I did that day. I just wanted the ground to swallow me. Friends made silent jests of me, my parents couldn't even look me in the eyes. The weight of disappointment really fell on me."
"I hid from people. I avoided certain conversations."
"I was transferred to the Chemistry department, which I was meant to resume by Jan 2023. But while I was at home, in 2022, I wrote another JAMB."
"This time around....... OAU MBBS. 'I'll get it this time around.' I was never intending to resume for UI 100L Chemistry in 2023."

"I began reading hard again. My goodness...... 317. Get in jhoooorrr. I was so happy. You can't tell me otherwise...... I'm getting it this year."
"All focus sets on OAU Post-UTME. I just need 34/40 to get in. Not too big naaa..... 34."
"The results were out. When I checked mine, my phone crashed to the floor. No other factor would have been responsible for this calamity if it's not village people."
"Cos why...... 26."
"26/40."
"Again......"
"I cried heavily......"
"I lost myself."
"Broken. Shattered. Destroyed."
"Pick myself up?"
"It took a while."
"But... maybe, I just don't wanna give up."
He refused to give up and eventually gained admission to study his desired course at the University of Ibadan, as shown in the photos he attached to his Facebook post.
"So I said...... 'One more time?'"
