Her words:

"Five days after my dad dropped me off at school, I lost him. His last words to me were, "See you soon," but I never got to see him again. My family didn't tell me for a month, and when I was finally called to White Rock (the administrative block of the school), the registrar broke the news. It felt like my world had shattered. I was angry, confused, and questioned God's power, why he had let it happen knowing that I am at an important stage of my life."

She said the pain was so much so that it consumed her when the sad news was broken to her in the school.

She noted:

"The pain consumed me, and many people misunderstood my behaviour as arrogance, not knowing the pain I was carrying. How people always said oh let me call my daddy, but I didn't have anyone to call. At one point, I thought I would drop out and restart my 100 Level at another school because of how I was constantly reminded of the journey to the school and our drive round the school. One day outside class, my level adviser, Dr. Ajisafe, saw me crying. When I explained what had happened, he became a father figure to me and supported me through it all."

According to her due to her father's death, her time in one hundred level was a huge mess as she found it hard to focus.

She said:

"My 100 Level was a mess. I stopped attending classes and it reflected on my result, mostly Ds. But by 200 Level, I found my strength again. I worked hard to raise my CGPA, trusting that God would help me through the pain. Though I couldn't graduate with a first class due to the setback, I am incredibly grateful to have come out with a strong result. God gave me the strength to push through, and reminded me that it's not how you start, but how you finish. Although my father's last words were "See you soon," I never saw him again; I know he would be proud of how far I've come."
