UNIABUJA graduate shares statement of results

After being asked repeatedly, he finally shared the answer in a post he made available on his TikTok page.

He said:

"As a tutor and a mentor, I get this question a lot from my students: 'How did you graduate with a First Class in Mathematics?' Like, how did you do it? Mathematics of all courses?😭😅 My answer is always simple: Determination + Consistency + Discipline. The question is not about 'Is it possible?' It’s about: Are you ready to stay consistent? I wanted a First Class and I made it happen. Not by luck, but by showing up every single day."

He also explained in the description of the post that he found motivation, and this helped make his goal possible. He advised individuals to find motivation, as they might find it hard to achieve their goals without it.

@steve_matics continued:

"Find your motivation. Because without it… there’s no movement. 'What drives you?' I’ll be breaking this down deeply at the STEVEMATICS MENTORSHIP NETWORK (SMN), a space where I mentor and groom students on the path of academic excellence, discipline in character, and purpose."

Stephen Chisom Anthony, a first-class graduate of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA), spoke about his result and how it made him feel.

In an exclusive chat, Chisom told Legit.ng:

"For me, it was a dream come true, a prayer finally answered. At that point, I felt a rush of joy and emotion. I literally cried because it seemed impossible towards the end of my academic journey, but in the end, it was a testimony. Seeing my result made me realise once again that hard work truly pays and that God rewards those who are diligent in what they do."

"After I shared my result online, I got so many messages from students and guardians asking similar questions. Some requested that I mentor their kids and offer them private lessons in Mathematics. At first, it felt overwhelming. I was like, 'Wow... am I really prepared for this?' You know, everybody wants to associate with success, everybody wants to be friends with greatness. So long as you're successful, you will always attract people. My hack to success still remains determination, consistency, and discipline. With these three, you can be anything you want to be in life."

He spoke about his biggest challenge as a student and shared some of the difficulties he faced in the 300-level.

He explained:

"My biggest challenge as a student at UofA was in my 300L when I was preparing to go for SIWES. That was when I thought to myself that achieving this feat would be very difficult or rather impossible. I struggled financially. There were times when I wouldn't have transport fare to go for lectures. There were days when I had to sacrifice my feeding just to attend classes. I missed lectures, and I lagged behind in some of my Mathematics courses. I feared I wouldn't still achieve this first-class dream because my 300L was when I had the lowest CGPA. But thank God it all turned out for my good."

Lastly, the brilliant graduate shared advice for undergraduates who wish to graduate with a first-class degree.

"My advice to students who are aiming for a first-class in their academics is: 'STAY FOCUSED, BE DETERMINED, LIVE A DISCIPLINED LIFE, AND STAY CONSISTENT.'"
"If you can define what you want, write it down and then work towards it, you'd be amazed at how much success you'll achieve and the impact you'll make. Study ahead of time. Don't be an exam reader. Study months before exams and cover all the course outlines even before the lecturer does. These were my little secrets, and they still work."
"And above all, pray. Pray for grace, pray for favour, and pray for divine guidance."
