I applied for a Master’s degree for the second time in University of Ibadan and was accepted. I had just finished NYSC and was jobless so I started to tutor at an adult evening school to earn just enough money to meet basic daily needs. My dad is a retiree and mom, a secondary school teacher. I just believed that God would come through for me to enable me to pay my fees. 

The month I was supposed to resume in school for the Master’s program, a friend of mine came to my house to tell me that he needs my help to assist him in teaching corps members and other people on how to do the electronic voters registration. Earlier that day, he went to drop his mom at work (INEC) and found the staff battling with the computer. My friend knew what to do and helped them out so the zonal head insisted he be the one to tutor everyone on how to operate it. Being somewhat more computer savvy than my friend, I was called to help. That was how I saved about N30,000 to buy basic things and transport myself from Akwa Ibom state to Ibadan not knowing where I’d stay or how I’d pay my school fees. God kept opening doors of favour and help for me and met all my needs. Even after the MSc when I was applying for my present job, I was one of three candidates (two of whom had strong connections) but I got the job. 

All I had was God and that was enough.
