“THE JOURNEY OF ALMOST A DECADE!
Last week, I officially became a law graduate from the University of Ibadan. As I was reminiscing about my admission journey, it dawned on me that it’s been almost ten years since I left secondary school. Along the way, I had opportunities to study other courses in other universities, but I was determined, almost stubbornly so, about studying law at the University of Ibadan.
Looking back, it’s funny because I didn’t have a grand vision or a perfectly mapped-out plan. It was just pure, youthful love for the profession that kept me focused. And today, I’m deeply grateful that the journey of almost a decade paid off in the end.

It wasn’t easy. It was tough watching the great heights my mates were reaching while I was still trying to find my footing. There were nights I regretted my choices and wondered if I should have taken another course, graduated early, and moved on with my life. But today, I’m grateful for gaining admission at the time I did and into the course I did. The experiences, the growth, the relationships I’ve built along the way make the delay feel like an intentional part of the story.
This post is not just to celebrate my graduation, but to encourage anyone facing delays, setbacks, or discouragement in any season of their life. It’s tough, and sometimes it feels like you’re the only one still dragging behind. But please don’t give up. Hold on. Your story is still unfolding, and the best is truly ahead.”
