Speaking with Legit.ng, James Williams, a first-class graduate from Nile University spoke elaborately on what amplified his determination to succeed academically:
"For context, I came to Nile University as a full-tuition scholarship student. That was the only explanation for me being in a 1.2 million naira per semester University. My parents couldn't have afforded that. I wasn't from a family of means and the consequence of that was underpinned the forceful distractions that I faced in my undergraduate days. Every day, came with its distraction. I but then, some episodes were far more severe than the rest. There are many of those but here is one that I can share: In 300 level, second semester, I returned to Abuja from Aba to the news that my house here has been sold to a new landlord. No prior information about this development and so you can imagine the surprise. Nothing prepared me for that because in the following week, our midsemester exams were to begin. It was just an unfortunate storm. The new landlord came by and told me that the resell meant that the house will be renovated and that I could consider getting a new house, finding somewhere else to stay while the renovation happens or staying in the house while it is being renovated. Now, as one from a family without means, I couldn't feasibly think of the option of packing out. The option of living with someone else wasn't feasible because, among other reasons, no one I knew lived close. And so I had to deal daily with the reality of living in a house that was being plastered, painted, carpentered and so on while preparing for my midsemester exams. It was torture! Imagine picking the cloth you had decided to wear for the next lecture day only to find out that it was stained with oil paints. Forced me to tears sometimes but despite that cloudiness, I never forgot what really mattered to me in the moment and that was the academic story that I was writing — a story that went, "even these cannot stop me." So I turned up for lectures like nothing was happening, led presentations, sat for tests, prepared as much as I can and doing my best to shut out the noise. In the end, it wasn't my best semester as I ended up having two Bs but it would've been worse if I hadn't manged the internal chaos to the extent I did. From that episode, I picked my lessons and purposed to make the most of my remaining semesters. And I did. In the two semesters of my 400 level, I hit a perfect 5.0 GPA."
