The University of Ibadan (UI) has granted admission to a young woman who broke down in tears after seeing her post-UTME result, following her successful JAMB examination.
The lady, identified as @oyindamolaayomide233 on TikTok, shared that she had been at home for several years after completing secondary school due to financial constraints. In 2024, she sat for the JAMB exam and selected UI as her institution of choice. Although her JAMB result was satisfactory, her performance in the post-UTME left her in tears.
In her post, she wrote: "Finished school, had to stay home for some years due to financial issues. Did JAMB in 2024 and chose UI .... Result came out, and it wasn't bad. Started reading for UTME, and failed post-UTME woefully ? mehn I cried lol."
Undeterred, she attempted JAMB again and once more chose UI. This time, she passed the post-UTME. Although she was not offered her preferred course, she expressed gratitude for securing admission into the prestigious institution. She stated: "Wrote JAMB again, chose the same institution UI, na do or die o ?? Post-UTME came, I passed. Even though I wasn't given the course I initially chose, I just thank God for where we are today, and I can officially say I'm now a bonafide student of THE PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN."
She offered advice to other JAMB candidates, saying: "Dear all, delay doesn't mean denial... has He said and He won't fulfill it? No... why?? Because He is faithful. Counting my blessings. Congratulations to me, babies."
The post garnered numerous congratulatory messages, including comments from users like Real bolanle, FIKUNAYOMI, FIFEHANMI, Faridah!, TEMILOLUWA, and PRECIOUS, who celebrated her achievement.
