This sounds somehow
He couldn't take leave of absence to hustle
He couldn't apply for indigent scholarship
He couldn't join one fellowship or Muslim community
He didn't have one uncle or aunt that was impressed with him getting to 500 level that would sponsor him even if he will repay
This story no pure once u get to 500 or 600level the only thing that can stop you is if u fail or lose your mind..failing in 500 or 600 level to the point of being sent out is almost impossible..only mental health challenge can stop you at that point
There is more to this story.

Limassol:
I agree... But it could be way by better.

For a start, Why just school fees? Why doesn't it cover other financially stressful parts of schooling such as hostel fees and so on. Secondly, there's a monthly stipend of 20k giving to beneficiaries, which, IMHO, is too little to take care of a school kid through out a month,let alone an undergraduate.

The government would do well to borrow a leaf 🌿 from the Norwegian government: Undergraduates there receive around NOK10000 per month as loan/grant, till they graduated ( tution is free , so no own pays anything for public universities). Afterwards, they only 60% of that loan after graduation.

Again, brilliant initiative from Tinubu, but the programme has significant room for improvement.

FengChui:
Bro, may you never see a problem that overwhelms you.... You can't think straight. In Yoruba, it is said that "we all pray that we don't fall, but when we fall, we'll be left struggling not to lose our life in the process."

I know someone who spent 17 years in the university. At the end, no certificate to show.

It's a crazy world we live out here. May we not see the ugly side of life when we're still struggling to define our lives.

This is one of the saddest stories I’ve read in a while. If this story am truly saddened

Basic123:
Yet DAVIDO BURNA,WIZ ETC are making millions from singing rubbish and lavish it on frivolities

Nnamdipapa:
Happened to me, reason I dropped out of engineering, got a part-time job and switched to accounting, an easier course I was able to take part-time while working to support myself. He should not have dropped out totally.

Port8080:
I went through the same path, and I tell you for free it's not a palatable experience. I was able to graduate only by the grace of God.

Self funding in the university comes with its own set of frustration, and depression.

7upnigeria:
He needs STRONG PRAYERS. See money that has been WASTED, money that he could have used to better his life. He's brilliant but some evil powers are ready to WASTE HIS TIME IN LIFE.

A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive, precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime. Fordo, Natanz and Esfahan. Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.

Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror.

Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not. Future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier.

For 40 years, Iran has been saying. Death to America, death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs, with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We lost over 1,000 people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East, and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate in particular. So many were killed by their general, Qassim Soleimani. I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue.

I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we’ve gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they’ve done. And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight, and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.

Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that’s so. I also want to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan ‘Razin’ Caine, spectacular general, and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.

With all of that being said, this cannot continue. There will be either peace, or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight’s was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes. There’s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight. Not even close. There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago.

Tomorrow, General Caine, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will have a press conference at 8 a.m. at the Pentagon. And I want to just thank everybody. And, in particular, God. I want to just say, we love you, God, and we love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel and God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Person no get money for School, come still be Olodo join, No be die be that?

CanadaOrBust:
It happens though not always 100% financial, but money is always a big part of it

azizsystem:
Nawaoo he shouldn't have had to drop out Sha. He could have deferred then come back when he's saved up enough to continue.

The guy that weed my plot of land when I want to build my house is a millionaire today. My house cannot stand beside his mansion and fleet of cars.

Nigeria is a land of possibilities. A wretched hawker can wake up tomorrow morning and buy you and your hospital

Zocalite:
Is this another lambo story

Which year was that

Maybe he failed exam

OmoOgunOriginal:
This is exactly why I love the NELFUND. It will eradicate this kinds of issues.

What annoys me is that I've had to beg some families to take it here in Ogun State while northerners were subscribing to it fully

dominique, farano, Rocktation), Nlfpmod

TallNigerian:
This is also very true. Some people will rather die in silence than ask for help. I was once like this (I still am to some extent) but I soon realised that nobody cares if you die in silence. If it will help my health, finances or career progress, I will beg if I have to, even if you mock or reject me, at least I will be satisfied that I tried my best.

Ilekokonit:
Now that you know that he did not graduate due to lack of sponsorship, are you willing to sponsor him back to Medical school

Elibaba1:
He dropped out due to financial reasons not academic issues.

2mch:
Abegi. Story story story on Nigeria air space. 500 level and drop out? If you do ejor ejor, they may let you continue but seize your results. At least give you time to do business and gather the money to pay up. Maybe the guy no pass and had to withdraw.

Sometimes it’s better to defer admission for 1-2yrs and work for your school money, save and then proceed to school. Especially in course like Medicine where you can’t successfully work and go to school. 2years behind your mates is not the end of the world, you may even advance more than them and be more successful in the end.

flokii:
The reality of life..

You must have finance to get degrees, certifications etc.. reason class of degree isn't the true measure of a student's worth.
Some are just going through a lot, doing all they can to survive while others have peace of mind with enough support from their families.
The outcomes of the two scenarios above will be different even though the student at a disadvantage might be far more brilliant than the comfortable ones performing well in class

In summary.. life no balance.

TallNigerian:
Fact. You need to hustle thrice as much as you would in other countries of the world for you to keep your head above the waters in Nigeria.

davillian:
if he got to 500 level it means he was brilliant....
i doubt if he can continue now and graduate

Eleph:
That's one of the ironies of life.
It's always a marathon.

mmadu4:
We can not all make it big in this life no matter how educated you are .

oyeb15:
If u get no helper in Nigeria,u can end up in d gutter no matter how brilliant u are.

This is a very corrupt society.

grandstar:
This is so sad. Medicine is a very expensive course to pursue.

He shouldn't have kept the problem to himself. I am certain if he told his classmates and they informed their parents, one or two parents may decide to sponsor the rest of his education.

The problem here isn't that he could not afford his fees. The problem here is not asking for help from the right people.

Oscarchims:
You can be critical of this government...but Nelfund is what we have never had.... Believe me. Nelfund is a very good government policy

utenwuson:
He should have opted of a less demanding course like SLT, radiography or biochem
