Why Ann wrote JAMB UTME 6 times
According to Ann, she sat for JAMB UTME on six occasions and scored above 200 in all of them but was not given admission to read a medical-related course by her preferred school because she didn't meet their cut-off mark.
It was at the sixth attempt that her husband came into her life and gave her a piece of life-changing advice.
"...God sent an amazing man into my life (my husband). While we sat out we talked about my school. I expected him to leave me because I was not a graduate like he wanted and I was not working at that time, I was more like a burden but he didn't leave me
"He encouraged me to pick up a supplementary form into another faculty rather than rewrite JAMB, which I did. We started courtship and within four months we got married I gained admission immediately after our wedding," she wrote.
Ann faced hurdles from lecturers who wanted to sleep with her
Ann said it was tough at school to the point that she almost dropped out. She recalled how lecturers failed her because she refused to sleep with them.
Ann, who had her first child in her 100 level, also remembered being sent out of class because of her baby.
As if that was not all, she faced financial challenges as her sole sponsor, her husband, also had some problems, but she eventually sailed through all. In her words:
"The challenges were real and right before my eyes I saw myself dropping out of school because of unbearable challenges ranging from fees payment to lecturers asking to sleep with me because it's a married woman they want.
"I failed their courses because I refused to give in. I told myself I'll rather drop out than sleep with any other man outside my husband. I rewrote those courses handed it over to God and I scaled through.
"Some lecturers would ask me to go out of the class as my baby was disturbing them. I was walked out of lecture halls with my baby. I looked helpless and felt like giving up because the stress became unbearable."
Ann showered encomiums on her husband
The fresh graduate shared a clip in which she hugged her husband to celebrate the academic feat. Also in her lengthy Facebook post, she hailed her hubby as a 'husband material of unlimited yard."
"God gave me an understanding husband that always helped me. He would stay with the baby most of the time to enable me learn, and he still made sure he went to work to provide for us...
"A big shout out to my amazing husband who stood by me to make me the woman I am today Ogbumor Collins.You're indeed a husband material unlimited yard."
In a chat with Legit.ng, the lady, whose real name is Ann Anderson Ole, said she graduated from the department of estate management at Rivers State University.
On how she feels about becoming a graduate, she said:
"I feel grateful and thankful to God. At least not having an extra year despite all odds is a joyful thing."
