[quote author=36govs post=58657505]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.

jhydebaba: On a second thought, of he did both his B.Sc and M.Sc in Nigeria, it is possible( the rest could be by scholarship). Unfortunately, he didn't tell us. |

You graduated "top class" in 2010 did your Masters in 2011 and went further to do an m.phil? come on bro, how come you could not get the 60 average after Masters hence the m.phil if really you graduated "top class" like you want us to believe? I know Fanatics would say im hating but im just being observant. CONGRATS ATS. |

jhydebaba: If you watched the video( time of 3:26-3:40), it was said that he made some savings from his menial job and he was also supported by his step sister and her husband to fund her undergraduate studies.You will agree with me that is much easier to fund post graduate studies in Nigeria than undergraduate studies. |

It is inspiring ! |

victorioushands: If you had watched the video( time of 3:26-3:40), you, probably, would not have made the statement above. He made some savings from his menial jobs and also got support from his step sister and her husband. These combined, provided sources of fund for his undergraduate studies.The cost of doing a Master's in Nigeria is cheaper than that of a B.Sc. After completing his B.Sc ,he may get a scholarship(even from organization(s) in Nigeria here) for his Master's or decide to work and fund the Master's programme himself |

ambgiano: No, you are not hating; just that you, probably did not get the information being passed across correctly. He had his first degree in year 2006, did his Master's in year 2010.The M.Phil he went for still does not put his academic prowess into doubt;you can check out this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Philosophy and scroll down.You will see this : "Cambridge University offers the M.Phil. as a one-year master's degree program.[19] This is to distinguish it from the Cambridge M.A. degree, to which B.A. graduates usually proceed after a certain period of time without any further study (a procedure which has been followed at the universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Dublin since the seventeenth century). The Cambridge M.Phil. can be either a taught degree or a research-based degree, depending on the course." Now, an M.Phil makes one to be more grounded in research work if one desires to transit to full PhD;it does not necessarily mean the inability of a person to measure up with the required M.Sc criteria to directly transit to PhD programme. 1 Like |

ambgiano: I'm no fanatic but I surely know you are 'not aware' of the the way these things work. When you are looking for a scholarship, you just have to keep your options open. Some come with specifics. It might be listed the funding is for a particular programme, a particular degree or something else. Secondly, it will sure be easier to get a funded PhD with a masters from Cambridge than one from Nigeria. 1 Like |
