"I was admitted into one public school in Ibadan. I had wanted to be in science class but I was admitted into commercial class because there was no space in science class.
"On the very first day, I cried when I saw crowd in my class unlike the private school with the population of less than 20 students in a class."
It had always been her dream to study in UK
An Uncle who took her away in a bid to provide assistance would later leave her to herself.
It was at the point of almost giving up that she got help from strangers she met on social media.
Now a graduate student of the University of Strathclyde in UK, Adenike said it has always been her dream and was happy it became a reality.
