Ex Lagos Bus Conductor Mike Olu Akinlabi Now A PHD Holder

Olu wrote this inspiring story on his wall;

20 years ago, the only thing I had was a dream. Though I had beautiful dreams, the physical resources to meet my heart desires were beyond my reach. I was homeless, worked as a motor boy or bus conductor (Nigerians will understand this)…. Despite all these challenges, I dedicated at least 2 hours each day to develop myself. I was told several times to quit trying. I was told to stop dreaming….

To keep the story short, in 2006 I had my first degree and I graduated top in my class. In 2010, an MSc; in 2011, an MPhil from the University of Cambridge; in 2016, a PhD in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Griffith University Australia.

Cc; lalasticlala

Tell him I said he left out Abuad.

.

Well, I know this brother like the back of my hand. He was the Counseling Overseer in IVCU (Ibadan Varsity Christian Union) in his set. He studied Guidance and Counseling in U.I and graduated with a CGPA of almost 6.0. iI think he had around 5.96 or so. Since U.I uses a one decimal place G.P, he was supposed to be awarded a First-class but, of course, he was denied.

I decided to write the above to let you guys know he is real and so is his story. With respect to studying abroad, if you schooled in U.I, you will know that many scholarship bodies have their headquarters there. If you are a Uite or alumnus of U.I, consult Student Affairs for information in this area.

I thank God I came across this thread. I need this motivation at this moment.

A true e definition of from grass to grace

If you can write 'yhu', you can also write 'you'. They are both three letters so why not write it correctly?

Impossible is nothing!!

Did you watch the video or no data? Very sure of the latter.

First degree (very good grade) - UI, in the "zoo".
Second degree, school not stated but very sure same school, in same "zoo".
Scholarship for another degree, Cambridge, UK.
Completed PhD programme last year in Austria, lectures in same country.
The "zoo" was his spring board.

Also, his movement to other countries weren't for crimes like drug with which Table Tops allways justify their escape from the "zoo". He gradually worked/walked his way through the ups and downs, never wanted to be a billionaire within hours.

Pls, do and escape from the "zoo" fast and remain outside the "zoo" in all ramifications.

What's the big deal?


HushPuppi was a conductor too.
Same as Reekado Banks

I once won a govt competition unopposed they refused to declare me winner cause my school was not in the favorite list
