Johnwills: Welcome back. The programme is still Testimony Time by TimmyTimmy. I'm Jwills your anchor this morning. Oh my gosh! Different factors affecting our decision. I hope someone is getting some sort of encouragement. Yeah yeah! Let's keep it rolling. Oh bless me! Babysmart wanted to be a doctor from the start. Faced with phobia for blood and hatred for physics, she moved to arts. Guided by Mum's advice, she went for law (change of direction) which is different from the initial passion and present passion (cookery). Haydot95. I think using the physics term "scalar quantity" to describe you is acceptable. He wanted to be everything possible. Too much interest and full of skills. Art works his favorite. Later narrowed down to law but now in for Philosophy. Yet he lover Black and White things though he was silent with regards to parent's influence during his testimony. But he's yet to decide his path. Davidmascot faced a serious early challenge of having no guide toward what to become. *this is serious, oh bless me!* He wanted to be everything just like Haydot95, but without a guide. In his testimony he didn't mention parent's influence so it could imply he was alone in choice making. Wrote jamb four times, having law in mind but now settled for English. My guy you try. *THIS PROGRAMME IS BECOMING INTERESTING. SOME ARE PRIVILEGED TO HAVE PARENTS WHO WOULD WANT TO HELP THEIR CHILDREN MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION. TO SOME THEIR PARENTS ARE REDIRECTING THEM FROM THEIR PASSION. BUT I'M YET TO HEAR THE TESTIMONY OF THOSE THAT HAVE EDUCATED PARENTS BUT THEY WERE NEVER GUIDED BY THEIR LEARNED PARENTS* The Programme continues after this timeout. Keep it lock. I'm Jwills. 1 Like |

Johnwills: Welcome back. Its still Testimony Time by TimmyTimmy. The longest testimony so far could be that of dora7891. She wanted to be a footballer or a runner. Mum's influence was visible in the first stage of her decision. She faced the challenge of change of environment. But later readapted to our system of edu. Daddy's influence came up-pointing towards medicine and engineering. But today, she's in for nursing which is different from her initial and final desire. Music things! I de your back my sis. Understatement. This is one guy I wouldn't know what to extract from his testimony cos we share similar storyline. Mine could be worse that yours. But I thank God you are in for something good. Rachie97's first desire was mass communication. Newscasting! Challenged by sciences, he moved to arts. No parental influence was mentioned and there was nobody to advice him. Went for NCE after failing to gain admission. But now he's in for English yet having a strong passion for Fashion Design- which is distinct from Newscasting. DrNoimat0 planned to go for law. But was lucky to recieve advice from uncle to change to science. Phy and Chem were difficult then. But finally he's in something different from what he used to think's okay for him. Dammytrager's first choice was engineering though the idea was inconsistent. Pushed to arts by older siblings but he returned for what he's passion for. Just like TimmyTimmy our main man, Dejii01 loved electronics and technology in his early years. So he wanted to be an engineer. Mum's influence would have redirected him. But now he's in for engineering, yet having an eye for law. 1 Like |

Dat was whr and wen my lov 4 medicine started deteriorating and my luv 4 computer grew day by day as I got 2 know dere are more 2 system dan wat mere users sees....well ppu around me start commending me as tyms goes on cos within a short period of tym hav started doin real stuffs wit d system lyk designin website and developing softwares as well.....in short I bliv firmly dat comp is my tin and I want 2 b a professional so as to unite my world and makes comp more easier, friendly, fun and flexible for all users and perhaps mak Nigeria connected across d glope...so I decided I am goin 2 study comp sci in one of d best university (ppu laf@ me doh cos of my failures and weneva I mention oau, dos dat kw oau well laf d more...saying oau aiint meant 4 my type, it z 4 d genius ).....well dere words didn't move me@ all and I bcam more optimistic blivin insyd of me dat I am a genius......To cut d story short, I did jamb twice b4 enrolling 4 oaupd and here I am today, to d glory of God, a comp scientist 2 be....To som1 out dere reading diz, no matter aw big ur troubles or challenges may be, NEVER GIVE UP AND KEEP BLIVIN IN URSELF AND GOD...Drops d mic...lukin 4 who 2 nominate Nxt. |

Re: OAU 2014/2015 FRESHERS (newly Admitted Students) Meet Here by OAUTemitayo: 12:32pm On Oct 11, 2014 |
My own story is quite funny and somehow sad. I finished my SSCE in 2004. Coming from a broken home, i went through hell before i could even have my O-Levels as there was practically nobody to assist me financially apart from my mother. My father who was already married to another person practically abandon us. However, i was determined to get the best of education. I started working as a sales boy with a company that sells Tiles. I am the first born so there was a load of responsibilities on me. In 2006 i sat for GCE (Had Pass in Maths in my first SSCE exams in 2004), when the result came out i made all my papers. I did not know this was the beginning of my lamentation. Armed with my O-Levels, i proceeded to work as a library assistant in a secondary school where i was being paid N9,000 as at 2008. In 2009, my junior brother gained admission to UNILORIN, i have to take a loan before we can meet up with his school fees as there was no help forthcoming from my father. In 2011, i sat for JAMB and scored 306 aspiring to study International Relations at LASU. I chose LASU because of their (then) affordable tuition fees. To my utter amazement, Fashola increased the school fees from N25,000 to N200,000 There was no way i could make it. My mother cannot a ford such a whooping amount neither my savings of just N80,000. SO i gave up. In 2013 i registered late for the JAMB exams and was forced to choose FUTMINNA as my exam center. ( I choose UI as my School of choice) Three days to the exam, i still don't have transport fees to take me to Mina.. My mother eventually borrowed Five thousand naira from somebody. I actually left Abeokuta a day to the exam but it was already evening before i could arrive in Ilorin, so i decided to sleep over in Ilorin with my junior brother who was already in 400 level. The following morning, i woke up very early and head towards Minna. I arrive 2 hours late into the exam. Wrote the exam and scored just 192 (UI cut off was 200). So i lost that chance again. This year i registered for JAMB and choose OAU to study Public Administration. I wrote JAMB and scored 228. Disappointed that the score was low considering the competition for OAU, i reluctantly bought the post UTME form and sat for the exam. I read very well in advance to the exam, so when i sat for the exam, i was so confident of making it when i saw the questions. I marked my questions my self repeatedly several times and was sure of making it. The confidence grew to the level that i did not even checked my POST UTME result. When the merit list came out, it was here on nairaland that i posted my JAMB registration number and somebody here checked on my behalf and i was admitted. I am very grateful to God. |

OMG...... I really don't know what to say, you've said it all. First of all.....I never expected this idea to become realistic, people usually don't give out such private information hence a big thanks to everyone that has contributed thus far. Your reward isn't just in heaven,I believe it's here. Reading some stories here actually made me emotionally shaken.It made me realise that even though WE are all different and we might not all be geniuses or not come from very dream inspiring backgrounds, God made sure everyone has a passion and a dream; a gateway to purpose. Johnwills has already helped in giving a breakdown of everyone's story, thanks to him so I'll just say a few things more.I was talking to my bro this morning and he said something about most young people in Africa being "societal robots". We can be more, we can be bigger than we think. Once again, thanks to everyone who has shared, even though I've not met most people here in person,I feel like I understand them more and I've been deeeeeeeeeply inspired. Love the stories, please let's keep 'em coming....also, if anyone here has an inspirational story perhaps the story of Steve Jobs....fuel us! |

Re: OAU 2014/2015 FRESHERS (newly Admitted Students) Meet Here by Timmytimmy: 2:52pm On Oct 11, 2014 |
Johnwills: Lemme describe using an analogy.If you were to ask an average American student to mention all the presidents of America and tell you about their lives....you'd be shocked to hear very inspiring stories, stories of men like Benjamin Franklin, great thinkers. How many of us want to be like Ex-president Obasanjo? how many of us know the biography of Abacha?......we don't and we are right not to because these men didn't care about posterity, they didn't care about changing Africa.Sad news is that 98 percent of young people in Nigeria are walking in the footsteps of these older role models we have living around us.Like robots, we dream of going to school and living lives of comfort and that's all we dream of. We are too scared to dream , like everyone around has accepted the status quo, we just want to act out the script society has written for us. Think about it.... |
