I had desire to study Estate Management. When I heard admission list was out, a friend called to inform me that my name is not on the list, I was frustrated because my JAMB was good so also my NECO result.

After two days, another friend of mine called that when will I be coming to collect my admission? I told him I did not get admission of which he told me that he saw my name of the list, it was evening time, I pleaded with him to check again tomorrow and send me the JAMB number their, of which He did the next day and to God be glory I got the admission.

The admission I got was not Estate Management not even in the school of Environmental Technology but in school of Education, they gave me Automobile Education. I was not really happy because that is not the course I wanted. Someone advised me, that I can get a change of course if I was destined for Estate Management.

The change of course is another work on it's own because unless the number of people admitted to the course are less before they will allow vacancy for those who want to change. I applied for the change of course for Automobile Education to Estate Management.

After so much struggle going from place to place I finally got the chance to study Estate Management which I was so happy my dream is coming through. I registered for the course and when back home to prepare for the semester. I was not able to come back to school until after 3 weeks due to financial issue and I also missed matriculation.

When I come back I have to go to Academic office to fill the matriculation form, I did not have much stress their. So everything when on successfully until 400 level second semester we left for Industrial Training (IT).

During IT program I felt sick all through the IT program I was down. First semester began yet to recover, of which I have to apply for deferment. The period has been difficult part of my life. After 4 years of deferment, 4 years behind my colleague, I went back to finish my course of which glory be to God, I got B.Tech, in Estate Management and Valuation. Hopefully I will register for NIESV and establish a firm of my own one day.

This verse keep me going

"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God." ( Psalm 42 : 11 )
