He was once a wheelbarrow pusher, bus conductor and tout. His shelter was under the bridge. Education for him seemed far-fetched, Uche Okwuoha, now a Law student at the Obafemi Awolowo University narrates how his life began to take a meaningful shape, Motunrayo Aboderin writes

Uche Okwuoha, an indigene of Imo State, scored the highest mark in the Obafemi Awolowo post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in the 2010/2011 academic session. He had the highest score of 320 (out of 400) and he is presently a Law student in the institution’s Faculty of Law. But Okwuoha’s journey to stardom was one filled with pain and hardship.

The 27-year-old young man who was once a street boy said at the time he was leaving his secondary school at Okigwe, Imo State, his intention was to gain admission to any university, join a cult group and kill as many people as he could.

Now, Okwuoha said he is a changed man. In his words, “Life has dealt with me; the only thing left in me is hope for a brighter tomorrow.”

Good but this ur dream of gaining admission into any university to kill as many as u can, is terrible o. One thing is that OAU is "any" university and the other thing is to "kill as many as u can". Hope u are not gradually actualising ur initial dream o.

By the time those capon and Don in university of ife see this, he is already initiated and doomed for life. How can he imagine and say this out? Just watch out, he has already ruined his own career out of curiousity, unless he has a better source of income and good family support.To be come a lawyer no be moimoi.

You said it all. He should have waited until he is through with his final year examination b4 telling the world his intentions and this might turn to hunt him in real college life. Let us wait for him to start and to finish/Wish him good luck
Re: Ex-Wheelbarrow-Pusher Gets Highest Scores In OAU Post-UTME by crackhouse(m): 2:55pm On Aug 21, 2012
I am damn sure the cult guys are patiently waiting for this guy to finish his school registration first before they will now help him actualise his initial dream cos he have already shown them that he gat some good potentials by saying this. Anyway the Police are watching.

Don't tell me you believe that nonsense, so what is even the guarantee that he will not join, just entered and not even tainted campus life, or has his life be insured because he had highest in the exam, Abeg useless story

i hope these universities are on the lookout for cultists and their recruits, and have measures in place as per security?

maybe they also need to conduct psychological screening exercises as is done overseas.

drug tests too.

people who are that brilliant do not usually have this kind of mindset:

his intention was to gain admission to any university, join a cult group and kill as many people as he could

something is off, somewhere, imo.

lord have mercy, so much is wrong with nigeria and elsewhere these days.
