THE PRESSURE IS GETTING WERSER!!!

Odo oh!

Guys! Welcome back to my blog. For all of you that have been reading my work and even looking forward to it, thank You. It's been a while I have written here and I will get right into it.

The pressure is getting worser. my life has never been explained better in such a few words. Life at this point is showing a lot of sides I never really expected to see or better still, experience. I mean I always knew that life was one kain like this, I just never knew i would experience it. My aim in this piece is to encourage you to keep keeping on. Regardless of what life might bring to you, KEEP KEEPING ON! I would love to say it's an order but I have no right to order you on what to do with your life. on this note, I will begin my story.

Hi I'm Akinate and this is my story.

A young Nigerian girl that has a genuine grudge with her country. She is a Nigerian with big dreams- very big dreams, many dreams in fact. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my country but at the same time, I really really dislike this country. Daily I get new reasons to enforce my absolute disappointment with this country. Its a lot scary to mention your nationality in an international space. I am not trying to be negative in telling you this, instead, I just want to tell you that I can relate to what the vast majority of Nigerians feel for Nigerians. I intend not to bad-mouth this country but it comes to me so easily. I guess its because I have a whole lot of pent up anger and frustration in me where this unique country is concerned. Back to my story.

I decided to leave my then current school to do move onto other things. i have not really spoken about this deeply with people because its seems like an almost unwelcome and foolish decision to the outside world. Recently, I mentioned this to a certain someone about how I left that particular school. In case you wanna know, I was a student of the seemingly prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University https://oauife.edu.ng/

Of the greatest Gbogbo! Of the Greatest Gbagba! As a prospective student of this school, I was filled with so much excitement and desire to come and conquer this very marvelous school. Little did I know. OAU served me my first breakfast sometime in 2017 when they refused to admit me even after passing all their requirements according to their brochure. I remember going to see the Dean of the faculty i intended to be a part of and being told that i had the wrong subject combination. I had never felt more betrayed because i filled my form and did the necessary things to gain my admission according to their admissions brochure. All the Dean had to say was that they made a mistake on the book. It wasn't at that moment that I cried.

I was advised to go enroll in The Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) I didn't cry at this point, I was still so numb. Now I know why I was like that. It is because I process my emotions slowly. I didn't know how to feel at the time. i felt absolutely dejected about it all eventually but I didn't cry still, I held it in me.

Fast-forward to August, 2018, I resumed to JUPEB. That was when the water works began. I consistently cried for like two weeks straight. Actually it was more like three weeks, not really sure but you get my point. Eventually, I made up my mind that if I had to do JUPEB, I would do it excellently and that was exactly what I did. There was an end goal and that spurred me on to succeed in it and I really did. Not to brag oh but I got 15 points out of 15 points. I need to mention this, in OAUCDL which stands for Obafemi Awolowo University Centre for Distance Learning, where I took my classes, I had the best lecturers. They were very helpful on my journey and I am grateful for them. My dad was so proud of me he slaughtered a very fat chicken for me. I really and truly felt so happy. I was finally going to get admitted into OAU and become a part of a seemingly prestigious university. Little did I know...

I see that you've gotten this far, thank you. I really hope you enjoyed the first part of my story. I have to end here for now so that it wont be too much of a long read for you. if you wish to hear the rest of my story, kindly leave a like, comment and also share to others.

Thank You!!!
