Ayomikun, a Nigerian man, has set social media buzzing after revealing that he walked away from Obafemi Awolowo University's Civil Engineering programme in his third year back in 2019, only to begin again at the University of Lagos.
In a post shared on X, Ayomikun announced that he had finally completed his engineering degree at UNILAG, capping off what he described as a long and demanding journey. His words were brief but loaded with weight.

"Left OAU Civil Engineering, 300L in 2019 to start afresh in UNILAG... Took a lot but I'm finally done," he wrote, adding the hashtags #Unilag and #EngineeringGraduate.
From OAU to UNILAG
Leaving a university at 300 level, which is typically the halfway point of a five-year engineering programme in Nigeria, is an uncommon decision.
Most students who reach that stage push through, regardless of the circumstances. For Ayomikun, however, starting over at a different institution entirely was the path he chose, and one he saw through to the end.
He offered no detailed explanation for the switch in his post, but the emotional weight behind his words suggested the experience was anything but easy.
Restarting a degree from scratch meant additional years, additional costs, and the psychological toll of watching peers from OAU graduate while he was still midway through a fresh start at UNILAG.
Reactions to Ayomikun's Graduation Post
His announcement drew attention quickly, with many users pausing not just to congratulate him but to ask the question that seemed to be on everyone's mind.
Jeff George asked:
"I’m sorry, but why did you do that?"

"Perhaps he obeyed the school advice."
