In a story she shared on TikTok, Dbliscrochet said she rejected the course as medicine was her first love.

However, her father insisted she proceed to school and threatened to hands-off her academic pursuit if she refused.

Dbliscrochet wrote the Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination (UTME) several times in a bid to change her course.

She did not succeed as she did not meet the cut-off mark set by the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, where she had applied to study medicine.

When she wrote the OAU post-UTME, she said the questions were so simple that she thought it would be a walk-over, but she didn't pass. For instance, she was asked to tell the correct spelling of scissors, which she thought was a ridiculous question.

After trying and failing repeatedly Dbliscrochet decided to give up and concentrate on studying zoology at UI.

She has not graduated with a 2nd class degree in the course and said the journey was hard, but she made it.
