She would later go through JUPEB, where she completed a course and did excellently well.
Daodu said she was accepted into LASU later to study law on merit. The lady has already graduated and was only sharing the story as a testimony.
Her words:
"I got 261 in JAMB and I got admission into no school, not even one university. I'm convocating tomorrow and I'm so excited. Let me tell you the 'shege I saw' before I got admission. Basically, when I left school, I got 261 in JAMB and I got admission into no school. I picked LASU as my first choice. I'm a Lagosian, so you know I had good chances with 261 and a very good WAEC result. Guess what? I know saw 'disqualifed by age.' So basically, before you enter LASU, you have to be a certain age, that's 16 years old before October 1st. So, I was going to be 16 in November. I did not even think it was a strict thing. I saw disqualified by age on my screen."
