"It's been awhile I post here and it is because i was writing my final exams and I am here to share the goodnews with you all. Alhamdulilahi. šŸ™ Finally a graduate after a lot of waiting.😌 This journey started 2019 after writing JAMB twice and I wasn’t given admission at the schools I processed then but I never give up and continue to process admission to other schools. I gained admission to the university of Ibadan (first and best). After gaining admission to university of ibadan, COVID-19 break started, ASUU strike and alot of years was wasted just like that. The whole journey was tiring and I was getting exhausted but I never give up."
