WHO RESULT EPP?

Shey we wey graduate well, wetin degree don give boys. If school does not favour you, try another productive thing with your life.

To others intending to ply her route, hear this:

LEARN A SKILL and be self-employed. Grades DON'T matter in the school of success. hundreds [or even, thousands] nairalanders can attest to this.

STOP OVERRATING ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE!

Killed herself for just one course in your first year. What of those that up to three course in their final year?

You thought University education is a bed of roses? You thought University education is the way you see it in movies? RETHINK!

Most parents are hard on their children because of result ish.

A course of mine found out she would be graduating with a 2:2, this girl almost killed herself.

She said her parents would kill her if they find out. I dunno if they've killed her already. Someone like that can commit suicide.

Mercy Olamide Afolaranmi, a student of Microbiology at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, has committed suicide.
According to the school’s Chief Security Officer, Babatunde Oyatokun, Miss Afolaranmi, poisoned herself. Students and a neighbour close to the deceased also said she killed herself due to poor grade.

“We got a call that one of our students took poison,” Mr. Oyatokun said. “We got to hospital to realise that she mixed rat poison. She gave us the contact of her parents but before they arrived, she already gave up due to the effect of the poison she took.”

A neighbour, Bimpe Oni, in an interview with PREMIUM TIMES, said Miss Afolaranmi, who lived off-campus at Sabo area of Ile-Ife, died on Thursday, after she took “rat poison mixed with battery extract.”

Mrs. Oni said the late student committed suicide because of “emotional pressure.” A student, Aisha, who was Miss Afolaranmi’s colleague in the Faculty of Science, said the deceased had ‘E’ in CHM101 (Chemistry for first year students), a reportedly dreaded course for year one students in the science and technology related faculties.

“Mercy often isolated herself in class and looked depressed,” said Aisha. “She told me she had ‘E’ in CHM101 and has been going around unhappy before this incident.” Another student in the Faculty of Student, Opeyemi, said “she took poison because of result.”

The school’s Dean of Students’ Affairs, Isiaka Aransi, also confirmed the news. “Although the reason and cause of her death is yet to be known, the division is aware of the death of Mercy,” she said.

Before her death, on October 10, she posted on Facebook that: “Above all other things, I just wanna see God, see what He looks like, speak with Him face to face. I don’t wanna miss heaven. LORD HELP ME.”

That's OAU for you. Their emphasis on book book and reading is too much. Na only God epp me graduate from that school infact there is no grade I didn't get from A-F. The only school that always least one person must run mad because of book every exam period. But it's not enough to kill oneself , I've seen people with 3-5 extra years on OAU but they are still happy. Anyways I hope God forgives her. We just néed open up and be closer to our friends cos u can't tell tell stupid thing they may be thinking.

It can't be because of the bad grades. Ppl may be going tru a lot that they can't share....
The bad result coincided with the emotional distress she may be passing tru

But from her face book page, she is a die hard Christian, she would have know better that joy comes after mourning, the question is, are u willing to wait and endure.

If everyone should kill themselves because of poor grades I think many would have been dead by now...I think she did that because of the type of parents she has thou
you are extremely right, they might have told her never to come with poor results. Some Nigerian parent are pathetic.

I totally agree with you,some parents are just too strict and over reactive.

This girl took her life just to avoid facing her comando parents for having low grade .

Our Universities system has failed. In a sane society, student who are depress because of Low grades often visit the Dean of student affairs who recommend them to the Counselling unit. They are counsel and assisted, but what we get from our universities now is putting students under stress and inputting fears in them. It's a pity this young lady who is not emotionally matured to handle the trauma of failing an almighty supposed chemistry course just died when the institution would have helped out.
May her soul rest in peace. I weep for our Nation.

These were being caused by those parents that chosen courses for their children. I remembered the time when we are filing jamb form.I knew a father filing computer jamb form with Biro,just for his son not to change the course intended to study.
