In 2006, after my O Levels I started believing God for admission to university. I wrote the university entrance exams (JAMB) twice. I passed but didn’t get admitted into university. Someone asked me to pay about N150,000 to secure admission at my school of choice but I refused as that was a lot of money. My mom got tired and wanted to open a shop for me to start hairdressing and selling cosmetics which wasn’t a bad idea but I really wanted to further my education first. So I told my mom not to worry, that I’d be strong and take care of myself. 

I started selling fruits, eggs and groundnuts by the roadside in Port Harcourt. Then I opened a business centre and was selling recharge cards and offering phone calls services. I had the determination that I was going to further my education. I was able to save up N5,000 for polytechnic JAMB and I got admitted to school in 2008 at Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Imo state. While in school, I continued my business and mom also supported me so I lived comfortably throughout school. 

Today, I’m a microbiologist, a serving Youth Corp member, passing out in a few weeks! I still intend to study more as I find it highly exciting and an avenue for positive self expression and fulfillment.
