Back then in my year one, I was told it's not possible to finish with First Class honours in the department of Mechanical engineering as it had only happened twice since 1980.
Especially as I decided not to compromise by giving any lecturer money or being involved in malpractice. My year one and year two didn't get up to 4.5cgpa. However in my year 3 I stepped up to studying 8-12hrs daily and had 5.00GPA in both semesters.

I have read so many stories of those who graduated with First Class even here on nairaland and was determined that my story will be here someday. I give glory to God who made this possible.


A lot happened, I lost my Dad during my final year first semester exams while studying at night in preparation for the next day, I was emotionally down with tears soaking my exam booklet even as I wrote. God remained faithful as I had another 5.00gpa that semester.

Finally graduated with a cgpa of 4.70/5.00, while my close friend finished as the best with a cgpa of 4.94/5.00. To all those still studying, anything is possible once we set our hearts to it and decide not to give up. I know my dad will be proud wherever he is. I give glory to God.
