I finished secondary school in 2010... My education was really fast... I wrote jamb like 7 times... I never had problem with jamb but post utme... If I had known I'd have gone to the the polytechnic then do direct entry... The only thing that was on my head was that I want unilag or lasu... Now i'm 24... I started the open university this year, and by God's grace I've finished my 1st year... So yes, you can still go back to school...

I started school at 26 and I am now a graduate at 29 plus. Guys ! Go write your jamb and get yourself into school.
But a piece of advise to you, choose a less competitive school and don't go for schools wirh high candidatesb such as OAU, Unilag etc. If you have a strong network there you can go for it.it's a mistake I made for 3 good year before changing my institution and was offered admission.

OP, age is still very much on your side

I know a friend's mum who got her first degree when we were in SS1 that is, I and her son were in the same class. She got her Master's when I was in 3rd year in the university and today she has a PhD.
