He explained that his case was different because while some people might have picked a different course just because they didn't meet the cut-off mark for the exact one they wanted, he actually picked his course because he had a passion for it and worked towards it.

"I scored 267 in my JAMB UTME."

"Scored 79% in post-UTME."

"Got admitted into UI to study my course of choice (English)."

"That was in 2015, the same year when the cutoff mark for Law was just 74."

He spoke about what differentiates him from several other aspirants who wished to study at the University of Ibadan.

His statement:

"There's something unique I want to point out here:"

"Unlike many people who studied English just because they couldn't meet the cutoff point for their actual courses of choice, my own case was different."

"I consciously chose to study English."

"I developed a mind of my own right from secondary school and decided not to follow the crowd."

"Actually, I've always been that guy who likes to be different from others."

"And as a secondary school student, I noticed that most students had specific prospective courses that were common among them."

"Science students hankered after Medicine."

University of Ibadan speaks about his course

"Arts students pined for Law or Mass Communication."

"Commercial (Social Science) students had Accounting as their anthem."

"So, I told myself I wasn't going to jump on the bandwagon. I was an Arts student (a brilliant one at that), so everyone just expected I'd automatically study Law."

"But I wasn't one to pander to people's expectations. I'd rather think things through and decide my own path. So, I chose to study English at the expense of Law or Mass Communication."
