In a touching story of determination and faith, a young Nigerian woman has shared her experience of transitioning from managing her parents' POS shop to securing admission to a university in the United States.
While her classmates were securing admissions into Nigerian universities, she had not even written the JAMB exam. Stuck managing her parents' POS business, she was often subjected to ridicule when her peers visited the shop, which caused her deep emotional pain. She frequently cried and begged her mother to allow her to attend a Nigerian university, expressing her frustration with the long wait for an opportunity to study abroad.
Her mother, however, consistently reassured her, encouraging her to be patient and trust in God’s plan. Holding onto her faith, she made the bold decision not to write the JAMB exam, believing that divine intervention would guide her path.
To her amazement, she was later offered admission to a prestigious university in the United States and even secured a visa. It was a dream come true, and she expressed immense gratitude for how everything unfolded.
Her story is a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of patience, serving as an inspiration to many Nigerians who face similar challenges in their academic journeys.
