3 Nigerians who Bagged First-Class Degrees after Being Kicked-out, Expelled or Removed from University

It is the desire of an average ambitious Nigerian finishing secondary school to gain admission into a tertiary institution and complete one's programme within the stipulated time. Nothing really prepares one for expulsion or being withdrawn by the school.

But, sadly the expulsion or withdrawal hammer has landed on some students in times past which usually results in depression or mental issues on the part of those affected, but some Nigerians have risen out of such academic misfortunes in style.

They channelled their academic misfortunes into positive energies, started school afresh and finished with first-class degrees. Legit.ng spotlights three inspiring stories of such nature.

1. Angela Sughnen

The past experience made her more studious in her new school.

“Pain was my drive, God was my help and so I kept going and GOD helped me, the system was super tough but against all odds I d move the go.”

2. Timilehin P. Abayomi

Imagine having your studentship withdrawn from you after 5 years of studying. This was the case of a Nigerian man Timilehin P. Abayomi.

Timilehin said he attempted suicide and was exiled from home after Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife withdrew his studentship.

However, the man picked himself up and started afresh in Federal University of Technology, Akure and eventually graduated with a first-class degree as well as numerous honours to his name.

Her feat earned her numerous awards and N400k which she got on the day of her convocation.

And what do all these never-give-ups have in common? It is that you can be the best in any endeavour no matter what may have transpired in your past or what may have been said about you.
