University of Ibadan applicant opens up
In her post, she mentioned at the beginning that after 9 years, she finally secured admission into the University of Ibadan despite graduating from secondary school in 2017.
She wrote:
“I gained admission to study Nursing after 9 years of waiting!”
“Stay with me as I share this journey with you.”
In her touching post, she explained that when she finished secondary school, she had a strong desire to study Nursing at the University of Ibadan. She sat for the JAMB exam in 2017 but was not admitted. In 2019, she tried again but still did not get in.
“I finished secondary school in 2017 with a strong desire to study Nursing. I applied that same year to a Nursing School, but didn’t get in. I tried again in 2019, still got nothing.”
A year later, she wrote the JAMB exam again, but her result was not good enough. She tried again the following year and was offered Geology, but she rejected it and attempted the exam once more.
She explained:
“In 2020, I wrote JAMB, but my result wasn’t good. I cried, but I moved on. In 2021, my score improved, but I was offered Geology. I knew it wasn’t my path, so I declined it.”
“That same year, I applied to a Nursing school in Ibadan, but didn’t meet the cut-off mark. It broke me, and I almost gave up, but something in me refused to quit.”
“In 2022, I applied again to the same school and was offered Community Midwifery. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted, but I accepted it as a stepping stone, and it truly was. I graduated in 2024 and became a licensed Community Midwife.”
“Still, I knew I wanted more and I kept pushing. I wrote JAMB again in 2025, got a good score, applied to UI, but didn’t get in.”

Eventually, in 2026, she applied to study Nursing at the institution and finally got admitted after 9 years of trying and multiple JAMB attempts.
On her Facebook page, Gbemisola Rachael wrote:
“Then this year, I applied for BSc Nursing and on March 12, I finally got my admission. After 9 years. I didn’t stop. Even when it was hard. Even when it felt impossible, I didn’t give up. I knew there was much more to it.”
She also advised individuals who might find themselves in her situation and encouraged them not to give up, just as she did not, as they would eventually achieve their goals.
She concluded:
“So here is to someone that is going through a long difficult journey. Don’t give up. Keep going. There’s a reason for your story. And you’ll definitely get there.
"God’s plans are always worth the wait.”
