Hi nairaland, my name is tosin and am a student of unilag. I recently watched a series called bel air and I discovered there was a Nigerian among d actors. So I searched for this guy on twitter messaged him and to my greatest suprise he replied me. He's one of uk's biggest black actors .

Hi guys, my name is tosin and the purpose of me writing this article is to share my experience with you all.i graduated from secondary school in the year 2013, and for (7) seven good years Ave been trying to get into one of the countries most prestigious University (UNILAG) you all know it quiet hard because it a very competitive school.
Trust me it wasn't easy at all , I had to face depppresion, ambarassment, frustration and so much more .
Alot of times people promise to help and you later discover they are empty promises, some even try their best at the end of the day they just give up on you. The most annoying part are my family members my brothers ,sister and mum.
They wouldn't stop standing on my throat telling me if UNILAG does not pick me why can't I just pick another school and get on with life . For years I wrote jamb and come out in flying colors but my problem is always either I don't do well in utme or my aggregate don't meet the cutoff of the course I desire. For years I had to sit at home ( not technically sit but was working instead).
It got to a stage where my younger cousins and nephew, my younger ones were gaining admission . I was left behind at home , it was worrisome and embarrassing.every year there is this sallah celebration where all relatives gather and meet at the family house. Capital SHAME won't let me turn up there, because I was afraid discussion will pop up about school and lectures and other school activities and I wouldn't ave jack to say because I wasn't in school.
My work place wasn't left out I received many insult there too as well. Imagine my co-worker telling me that I shouldn't worry I should continue writing jamb, that when his 2 years old son his old enough we will write jamb together. You can imagine someone say that to your face . At home the pressure was much for me they won't stop watching my every move just to get at me they literally want to get me furstrated so I can take up any school be it polytechnic or any institution so I can just leave the house. But I stood my ground it UNILAG or nothing , because I know my future depends on it.so I tried every possible means to avoid every body by staying at work all day just to come home late at night. And read from night fall to sun set.
Each time I failed I will check my lapses and see where ave come short then work harder and prayed harder.untill this year I finally got admitted, my joy has no bound abeg. It a dream come true, trust me wetin my eye don see ontop say I want gain admission my mouth no fit talk am. I remembered one particular year someone took me to go and meet the (Vc) vice Chancellor of academics of UNILAG I submitted my credentials to him with my bear hands to him in person.i still didn't gain admission that year oo, I had high hopes for my credentials to get to the table of such prestigious personnel in the institution .but thank GOD with much patience and prayers ave officially been admitted into the university of Lagos to study business administration. I can't thank GOD enough I want all nairalanders who ave younger ones in my shoes never to give up keep fighting, keep striving. It your future it worth the sweat and pain
