Yosseedesign wrote JAMB three separate times, sat for three post-UTME examinations, completed a one-year pre-degree programme, and ultimately spent seven years at OAU before crossing the finish line.
Seven Years in the Making
Her celebration post was brief but deeply felt. Alongside photos showing her beaming in her graduation outfit, she wrote:
"After 3 Jambs, 3 postutme's, 1yr predegree, 7 years in OAU. I'm a Graduate. Thank you Jesus, my heart is full."
For many Nigerian students, the process of gaining university admission is already a stressful chapter on its own. Writing JAMB once can feel like a mountain; writing it three times, sitting post-UTME three times, and still committing to seven years of academic life at OAU speaks to a level of persistence that clearly resonated with her followers.
