Imagine combining neuro-surgery with journalism was a very laudable feat.

He should have persisted till the end of the program and then go back for journalism

I completely agree with with your last line.
The best would have been to complete his medical degree and then go on to become a journalist by taking a short course in journalism. I hear of medical correspondent in bbc and he would have fitted in perfectly in such role.

Having the certificate is the primary motive.. The other things it entails are secondary, which are not as difficult as the former.. My favourite quote comes to mind in this situation;

Whenever you feel like quitting, think about why you started


Btw, Not all Mass Communicators studied Mass Communication

You could endure for 10 years. What's wrong with writing your final exam?

He's my hero. He simply applied unconventional wisdom and trailed his passion. That's where success lies.

My former colleague of mine also dumped medicine for Chemical Engineering. Today, he's a fulfilled man, making it really big in the IOCs.

Life and success goes beyond certificate. Do what your passionate about.

If there is anything you should not do is doing anything in vain.Well he has done it and he is following his dream which makes him happy and finding fulfillment.This is just a tale of two stories and the moral of the story is:1.Never do anything in vain at least he should had written his final exam and 2.Do whatever makes you happy even if he had to give in 10yrs following his fathers dream,he finally believed and is following his own dream.

Why do you even reply the clown. Top 2% of society in academic performance are not bright. Really? As if to cram those big books easy. And score minimum of 87 or even 91% just to pass a paper. In any case, people learn in different ways. If you just have to memorise your anatomy or pharmacology for exams, you do just that. Is he saying lawyers and engineers don't cram?

Medicine a profession for crammers.. Most of them aren't actually bright..

At least he gets to challenge himself under journalism
. See this mumu o, you think the medical curriculum is one small pamphlet you can just cram. Every subject is like a course for most undergraduates, and if you are the cramming type you will surely fail. There is a limit to what u can cram. Most medical students would surely be easy first class materials in other courses

Some of us are not cut out for the job. To have survived up to final year in medicine means that you are more intelligent than the average lot. I know a lot like him now in my class. But to have just given up 2 weeks before the final MBBS smacks of a bad decision. He should have weathered it out and then gone for the course of his choice.
I know some people in my class who say they wont practice after graduation, like Kelvin who says he is going to play professional football.
I am two weeks from my own final exams, come 24th July by his grace, I would be a certified doctor.

I'm not abusing him. I only stated the obvious. Yes he chose a direction for his life but it was a very foolish step by taking the wrong part. He could have written his final exam just in two weeks and go ahead to pursue his dream in mass comm.

Nothing is wrong with the decision he made but he stepped his foot on a wrong part. Even if you don't want it, at least, for the persons that have spent a fortune on you for the past decade
Even if he's the one seeing himself through school, there is no iota of wisdom in quitting just two weeks to final exam after 10 years.

That makes him a renowned fool. It's not an insult. Just stating the obvious.

I was wondering oh, since his final exams should hqve been by July. He would have waited for Jamb, unless he switched or something which he did not explain well.

Very bold decision, he was begged by everybody including lecturers and his enemies to come write the final exam but he refused.

Years have gone by now but I still believe he made a wrong decision, he should have written the final exam, obtained his certificate as a doctor and then proceeded to study whatever he wished to study.

That way not only would he actualise his dream, that would probably make him the first doctor-journalist.
I disagree with you 50%.
The moment you get your medical certificate it'd like a one way speeding train into the medical world and you can hardly stop for anything until one day you wake up and realise you are deeply embedded in a profession you hate with passion and by then it might be too late. People will keep asking you "ah but you have the medical certificate already na, why not continue the practice." It might actually have been easier for him to do what he did than write the final exam and probably seal his fate forever.

The guy courageous sha.

Yes, I know him very well, he was my senior....

I was there when everything happened....

Even the HODs of medicine and surgery were begging him to go and write the final exams, even if it was just his name he would write on the answer scripts....

He even went against his mother's wish....

But I'm still proud of Alfa esin as we all know him to be....

My brother from another mother, lm happy you know this guy...but l want to tell you that this guy did not pass 2nd MB... mark my word you can dig this out... he probably joined gis colleagues to clinicals to deceive his peeps but had no other option but to quit.

Thi is because l find it difficult to believe he left two weeks to his 5th MB BS exam... check it naahhh! Even if it was his last chance he should have attempted the exam..the department may have taken decision to pass him...who knows... and he left just like that? U and l know there is more to this story

l wish him well anyway
