“ After a year , my mom asked , ‘ Won ’ t you go to a tertiary institution ?’ I said yes , I won ’ t go . She insisted ; I asked her where we could get the funds. She said she would get a loan that I must go to school .
“ So, from my savings I got a JAMB form in 2015 . I requested time off work to register for JAMB , sat JAMB exam , and post – UTME also. I wrote JAMB exam and passed, passed post – UTME too , but I was not admitted. I tried again the following year . Same fate !
“ Tried again the following year 2017 , passed and got admitted for Medicine. I resigned from work , mom applied for a loan in more than three places and none was given to her . Why ? The state government had bans on loans ( if you are in Ogun State ; you will know this to be true ) . She tried her best . Ultimatum for acceptance fee elapsed . My admission was withdrawn !”
A Twitter user , Pamilerin Adegoke , after reading the post , said he had decided to put Segun on a scholarship and he would pay all his university bills till he finished school .

“ It is now when people want to send me to school that I will score 167 in UTME ? 167? LMFAO . Make I close eyes picks answers sef … Me ?? 167??
“ Meanwhile, I will be teaching y ’ all how to make tea with Sniper by 9 pm live on Twitter. Tune in , ” he wrote .
