“I didn’t even know I got an admission into UNILAG. Till date I don’t know the course I was given in UNILAG but my parents most likely rejected it on my behalf.

“My friends who were already in Babcock University told me to come join them and I would get Into medicine because I was smart. I just went ahead to write JAMB again and got admission into Physiology in Babcock. I didn’t even think much about it.”

Sharing her experience in Babcock University, she said:

“I got into Babcock, and I was told I could transfer if my grades were very good. A lot happened in between, but Alhamdulillah, I crossed over to medicine and surgery with a CGPA of 4.8, which cost me an extra year because I had to do 200lvl in medical school again as protocol.

“As much as I wanted the course, I was scared: can I actually do this thing? Omoo, but my family and friends were all with me. They supported me all through the journey. I laughed, cried multipleee multipleeee times because it was beginning to look like the course was more than me. Omo, if you cry pass me in this medical schooll”
