I attended CMS Grammer School and I am a graduate of Unilag. When I was 14 I wanted to study medicine. That soon changed to me wanting to study radiology when I was 15 and eventually pharmacy when I was 16. I just figured I wasn’t smart enough and my intelligence quotient wasn’t high enough for medicine so I decided to study pharmacy instead. I didn’t get into the university until after my second JAMB attempt. I remember my dad telling me if I didn’t pass the second time he was going to take me to a mechanic workshop as an apprentice. But of course I never took him seriously. When I finally got in I wasn’t given the course I wanted, instead I was given Human Kinetics and Health Education. A friend of mine who applied to study mechanical engineering at the university was given food technology. I find it really upsetting that Nigerian universities assign courses students have zero interest in. Yet they wonder why they eventually become nonchalant and often cavalier with the course, or why they end up not using their degree after graduation.
