is imo state in the catchment area for OAU?

I dont think it is- he must have moved to a sw state before applying for admission.

someone correct me if i'm wrong.

4bobo: his intention was to gain admission to any university, join a cult group and kill as many people as he could.
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.
u sure say u sabi read? His admision was in 2010/2011, he his a part2 law student.smh

gramci:
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.”
Come on guys, give the guy a break. He is presently a 200 level law student of OAU. So contrary to what some people insinuate, he's tasted campus life. He has also seen life and had experiences which have divested him of his erroneous ambitions. Most importantly, he is a very bright lad. Therefore, it is my opinion that he is most unlikely to join a cult in the university. He is even too matured to be lured into a cult.

Being a wheelbarow pusher does not mean intelligence or knowledge only resides with those who drives or being driven in big cars.

This is a poorly edited post. The guy moved 2 Lagos where he was tutored & given full scholarship by one Mr. Adebola Adams.

Thank you jare my guy. That guy cannot know the worth of OAU cos he has tried to gain admission there many times but failed so that's why he is talking that arrant nonsense.

Some folks will come here and spew rubbish based on what they see on the surface without having a full detail of what they are talking about, I'll advise you all read the news from the link provided. Assuming you all know this guy, you will appreciate what God has done in his life. His psychological reasoning has changed from what it was before, he is now God fearing, humble, loving, and only concerned about achieving his pursuit of becoming a great Lawyer in the country. Moreover, so that this kind of desire will not swell in his head again, that was why he choose OAU cos it is a no go area for cult activities, and I must add that his lifestyle and academic performance in OAU has served has source of inspiration to those of us who are younger in his class. I must appreciate punch newspaper for bringing this story to the hearing of many Nigerians, as this will inspire that truck pusher, conductor, load carrier etc on the street, who have all thought there is no hope for them.
