At Ternopil State Medical University in Ukraine, a 6th-year Nigerian medical student recently committed suicide following stress and frustration from the university.

The deceased identified as Badmus Olalade Rafiat reportedly took her life after she was expelled from her school for failing to pass the mock exam ahead of the final semester of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS)

Despite Rafiat’s efforts to transfer to another institution and continue with the MBBS as other students usually do, it is reported that the university kept frustrating her and hence denied her the transcript which was required to ignite the transfer process.

Campus Cam has learned that the student was only given the option of returning to Nigeria, reapply for the student’s visa and start the course afresh. After fruitless pleas, Rafiat reportedly wrote a suicide note and took her life on Thursday, January 16th, 2020.

Upon her death, the university administration joined the students’ fraternity and the general Nigerian community in mourning the deceased by putting up a notice bearing her photo on the school’s wall.

They expressed their condolences to her friends and family and asserted that Rafiat killed herself because she was depressed and suicidal.

Rafiat’s friends blame the school authorities and thus have planned a meeting to protest the alleged unfair treatment that caused her to commit suicide.

“Let’s meet in Centre @12 pm,” a notice sent out by Nigerian students in the school read.

Not a must to be a doctor so why kill yourself when you can become so many other things in life?
Rest in peace sister

You don't get expelled for failing a mock exam.
Even you do fail an exam, there's an option for resit three months later.
Your story is simply bullocks

I do believe no issue warrants a suicide.
One can only imagine what she went through to the point of taking that painful decision

If she has been passing until her 6th year , why did it suddenly become difficult to pass mock not even the main exam?
I am just trying to understand this painful loss of a promising young woman. ;

This one loud gan.


No matter the situation....I cannot come and go and kill myself.

Is Ukraine medical school calendar up to 6 years?

Expulsion after six years in school is a painful thing though it doesn't justify comments but it takes only a strong mind to remain same after something as unfortunate as that occurs....may God console her loved ones

Abegii who will not die?

Yoruba Village people

Even as our own worse here, no medical school can treat their students in this manner.
This is just wickedness

That's too sad

Selfishness At Its Peak

RIP

Inside life

Persin just dey, take her own life....because you can't a doctor doesn't mean you will take your own life. This life....when some people can't be anything

What a loss

They expelled you because you failed mock exams?

Rest on dear, taking ur life just like DAT wasn't the best thing to have done...

After killing her, the University administration now joined up to mourn her death. Useless school.

May her family & friends find comfort in this trying season

I think some annual event in her memory could be a better way to immortalise her than protesting about the university's policies

So sad and pathetic

Rest on from earth
