Divine Oduduru, the Nigeria athletics star has reportedly dropped out of an American University, Texas Tech University he got a scholarship at in his final year. Divine Oduduru reportedly dropped out of the American University in his final year, to purse a professional career as an athlete. This came after he was declared the second fastest African in the 100m after compatriot Olusoji Fasuba. Recall that we reported earlier that the Nigeria star who competed at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championships on Friday, June 7, won both the 100m and 200m events as Texas Tech's claimed its maiden men's athletics national title.

"I want to say thank you to Texas Tech University for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to come study here," Oduduru said as he thanked his team mates.  "I want to thank all of my teammates — from the sprinters to the jumpers to the throwers — for always believing in me and giving me so much support. I never felt like I was not at home here. It has been so great being here at Tech, and now I've made up my mind that I want to go pursue my career. I'll always be proud to say I am a Red Raider and a Tech student. Wherever I go to, I will be proud to say that" he added.

Here is the video he shared below;

Stupid decision

Well, we wey go school sef, my friends wey drop out don better pass me.

That's decision is crazy

No be say you go come dey talk say them no honour you when your leg don weak o.
Like a guy said up there ' if he break leg nko?'

Why not complete, why.

I suspect village people.

.

Wrong move

Probably because of the "professional vs amateur" problem.

I hope village people hasn't gotten this guy,he should have used Destiny location changer which he could have downloaded at God protection store.....
But seriously I admire the fact that he's pursuing his dreams, doing things that makes him happy but at least graduate you're almost done.... Graduate!!!

How hi did not hexperit at this stage

Wrong idea.

Since you were already in your finals, you would have just waited for the last session.

But las las, like someone said above,

"would have just chilled for one year. Well, we wey go school sef, my friends wey drop out don better pass me"

School is good but it doesn't guarantee success

With that feat, that his half bsc is bigger than every bsc in nigeria and many other parts of the world....

Nobody force you go. School is not for everyone either.

God bless America the land of Opportunities. Who knows what might have happened to him if he was in Nigeria. Maybe Herdsmen for don chop off him head or may be Him go de do other things for this next Level. Africa ||| dream Killers

This is a difficult moment for him. He is in his best moment career wise, setting records in athletics and he is in final year. One year can change a lot. Now that he is feeling good, it is a good opportunity to pursue a career in professional athletics and you can't combine it with schooling; He might not be in the right form next year to make it big.

At the end of the day, what matters is what he wants to be remembered for - A great athlete or a great tech guy?
