What was the application process like?

It was just me sending my personal and academic documents over to the agent. I was offered admission to the same school my relative was in and I was going to be studying physics. I got invited for the visa interview at the Hungarian embassy in Abuja. They asked me Hungarian current affairs questions. I got my visa approved in August 2021 and moved a week later.

How so?

I had Russian classes from 5 a.m. till 6 p.m. every day for three months. When the second semester eventually started, I started taking math and physics classes, and they were teaching us in Russian. I just knew I couldn’t do it because I literally just started learning the language. I told my parents I’ll just end up failing school and I didn’t want to study biomedical engineering anymore. This was in February 2021.

We started looking for schools in different parts of the world. There was no country I didn’t research for schools. I even found one in South Africa and applied to it, but I forgot to upload my results. In April, my mom remembered that we have a relative who was a student in Hungary. She asked the person to link us up with their agent, and that’s how we started making plans for Hungary.

Okay, let’s roll it back a bit. How did the Russian plan go?

I was asked to write a math and physics exam. It was an online test because of the pandemic. That was the hardest exam I’d ever written in my life. I was like, “They didn’t teach us all this one o”. It was so strange. I knew I’d flunk it, and I did. So they told me I’d spend my first year doing something called “foundation”.

It was meant to help me bridge the gap between what I’d been taught in Nigeria and what I actually needed to know. And it was a lot. What was even more interesting was the first semester would be a language immersion programme. COVID was still on so I was going to school online. I spent the first semester learning the Russian language. It was hell.

Mad. You weren’t even thinking about Nigerian universities?

Most of my relatives studied abroad. So it was only natural for us to do the same thing. I actually applied to the University of Ibadan. But because we didn’t know anything about how Nigerian universities worked, we missed the deadline for the submission of WAEC results. So I changed my institution of choice to the University of Jos. I was offered admission a day before I left for Hungary.

LMAO. How did that go?

Omo. We started applying to the school and there was nothing they didn’t ask for. They asked for my WAEC certificate, my school results and even my JAMB score. I’d written JAMB by then, so I just sent everything over.

Classic African parents

I didn’t want to study software engineering because I wasn’t interested in anything related to computers. I told him I wanted to study biomedical engineering, and he said he knew this school in Russia that was very good for courses like that. In my head, I thought, “From Canada to Russia? Jesu”. But I was like, “Let’s have it”.

LMAO. How did you guys get to that point?

It was in early 2020. I couldn’t write WAEC because of the pandemic. But I’d written GCE the previous year and passed. So he’d done the entire application process himself. Hence, the admission letter.

How did the process of moving to Hungary go?

I was in SS3, in 2020, when my dad came home one day and gave me an admission letter to study software engineering, from a school in Canada. It turned out he’d applied to one of those schools in Canada that didn’t require the usual exams. I told him I wasn’t doing it.

What’s your travelling history like?

Before I came to Hungary, I’d only been to two countries — the Benin Republic and Ghana.

Crime › Re: Stray Bullet Kills Tricycle Rider Outside Lagos Brothel by essentialone(m): 10:39am On Oct 23, 2025
pretydiva:
Shey he for kuku relax for him house ni. Cultism has eaten deep into the fabrics of our society
“We were told that the man had just finished work that evening and went to the brothel to relax and have fun. Shortly after, he stepped out to buy bottled water since the one sold inside was a bit expensive. While he was at a nearby shop, some men believed to be cultists drove past the area and started shooting aimlessly. One of the bullets hit him, and he died instantly.”

So many lessons for us to learn in these few words.

1. He should have gone to his own house after work.
2. We should be careful of where we go to relax and have fun.
3. Sometimes we just need to manage and buy what is closest to us, even if it is a bit expensive, instead of going very far, just to buy it cheaper.
4. We need to avoid patronizing or lingering around a crisis-prone area, known as red light districts filled with criminals and cultists.

The man should sue the NPF. That was so highly unprofessional. It could have been fatal
I can relate with this experience. It was a horrible one at that Lagos to Benin expressway. Even when the Driver later insisted that the policeman must pay him 120k for the damage done, all the policeman could afford to transfer to him was 20k after more than 3 hours of delay. Most Nigeria Police men are terrible set of people.
