He Was Unjustly Denied A Scholarship As An Undergraduate: But It Ended In Joy

Hey guys, I found an interesting testimony in a magazine, and after doing some digging myself, I decided to share with you. Be motivated!

Professor Tunde Opeibi (Ope-Davies)

"Some years ago, during my Bachelor's degree programme, the University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom, through the British Council, donated a scholarship to be given to the best student in my department, to attend a 3-week Summer programme at Edinburgh, Scotland. As the best student that year, I was unjustly denied that opportunity because our then HOD told me that I was not assertive. What he meant was that as an "SU", as they used to call us then on campus, I was not sociable enough to represent the department well at Edinburgh. So, the second-best student was sent to Edinburgh. I never allowed this to bother me or weaken my commitment and conviction about my faith in the LORD. I kept on serving the LORD. I graduated and moved on with my life, building a career in the profession the LORD led me into.

"Now, see what our GOD has done in my life over the last couple of years. He has made me to travel to a number of universities in different parts of the world, won more fellowships, scholarships, awards and recognitions more than any of my equals, to the best of my knowledge. It beats my own imagination about the workings of this mighty God."

"But the most interesting slice of history here is this. You know God has a way of mocking the decisions of men against His own children. I call it "God's sense of humour." More than two and a half decades after that glaring and unjust denial of right (call it 'persecution', if you like), our awesome God has now made the same University of Edinburgh to award me a bigger, better, richer and longer visiting research fellowship at a professional level (see https://www.iash.ed.ac.uk/profile/professor-tunde-opeibi)

In fact, I was the one who asked for just 2 months; the University was ready to give me a longer period. Is our GOD not awesome? Is He not faithful? To Him be all the glory!"

Need I say more?

Don't give up on yourself. Don't allow ANYONE make you look down on yourself

Things like this dey Normal na. It doesn't matter whether you are a Muslim, atheist, Buddhist, or Christian, or into Satanism. If you work hard the universe will reward you. The reward tend to come faster if you base for oyibo land.

A country full of "Men of God" Full of PHD holders, DR, Engineer etc. but still underdeveloped, and probably he's still living in the "SHIT-HOLE"

Be careful!

Let me tell you my own story.

I got a scholarship to study in Pune India in one local University 2006. But I started doing drugs and was incarcerated for a year and lost the admission.

I was deported and I came back to Nigeria and boom my life changed. Formal education is not for everyone. University is not for everyone.

Money Is Good

Yes, God is faithful, honor HIM irrespective of men's opinions and acts towards you.

just shut up.

As a child of God you will Always give testimony


I speak with loud voice every power holding my testimony shall be put to shame

Hope you became more assertive sha...

He could have challenged the HoD's biased decision. Sometimes we need a touch of radicality to that 'Kingdom-taken-by-force' personality Jesus talked about

When God introduces you, it doesn't matter if men accept you or not

What God cannot do does not exist oooh....i believe in him and wil share my own testimony soon
