He dumped Medicine For Mass
Communication After 10 Years At University

‘I won’t want my son to do to me what I did
to
my father’

What could make a student abandon Medicine
for Mass Communication, having spent 10
years trying hard at the former? This is the
big question our intern, Godwin Simon
attempted to answer, when he went after
Ismaila Mansur Akolade, a 100 level Mass
Communication student of the University of
Lagos now in his 10th year as an
undergraduate.

ISMAILA Mansur Akolade as a 100 level
student of Mass Communication at the
University of Lagos is by all means expected
to be a fresher and a green horn in the
university affairs, but his mature outlook,
carriage and composure suggest clearly that
he is he is none of the sort. As if to confirm
this writer’s suspicion, a reliable source, who
is close to Ismaila disclosed he had indeed
spent a whopping ten years at the University
of Ilorin, studying Medicine before quitting
barely two weeks to the commencement of his
final qualification examination. His days at
the University of Ilorin, the source said was
characterised by serial failure, which inevitably
put him at the bottom of the class, hence his
decision to quit at the eleventh hour.
Curiously, Ismaila is not sitting at the bottom
nor struggling in his new endeavour as he
currently sit in the first class category with a
Grade Point Average of 4.71.

In an exclusive interview with our reporter,
Ismaila revealed that his action was triggered
by his passion for the journalism profession,
which he said is parallel to the wish of his
father for him. He noted that his dream was
never to become a doctor, but was forced into
an unholy matrimony with the profession by
his father who sees the medical profession as
prestigious and thus wants ‘the best’ for his
son.
