UNILAG graduate bags master’s degree from Miva
On her LinkedIn page, Omodolapo Lawal shared that she almost did not attend the programme and that she earned a grade point average (GPA) of 5.0.
Her LinkedIn post read:
"I said, “I can’t do this.” God said, “Go.” 18 months later, MBA with Distinction (5.0 GPA) from the prestigious Miva Open University. I remember when my then-fiancé, now husband, Segun, first suggested that I enroll for this MBA. I had a thousand questions and even more doubts. My response was simple: “I’m not doing it.”
"Thankfully, he didn’t pressure me. He didn’t force the idea. He simply let me be. Months later, during a church service in Minna, Niger State. I clearly sensed God telling me that this was the next phase of my journey. After service, I called my fiancé and told him I was ready to begin.
"He was shocked and then asked what changed? My answer was simple: God said it’s time.From that moment, the journey began. What I didn’t know was that this 18-month journey would coincide with some of the biggest transitions of my life. There was wedding planning, getting married, adjusting to a new season of life abroad, becoming pregnant, searching for and settling into a job, and navigating the responsibilities that came with each new chapter.
"There were days I felt overwhelmed, days I questioned whether I had made the right decision, days I wondered if I would be able to finish. Fear often whispered that I wasn’t capable enough, strong enough, or prepared enough but God remained faithful.
"And through it all, my husband remained one of my greatest gifts. He supported me financially, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and in countless ways that words cannot fully capture. Thank you for believing in me, even on the days I struggled to believe in myself.
"Today, I stand grateful. Grateful for God’s direction. Grateful for His strength. Grateful for His grace. Grateful for growth. Most importantly, grateful that I obeyed when God said, Go. What started with uncertainty ended with victory and by God’s grace, I graduated with Distinction and a perfect 5.0 GPA."
