The beautiful Nigerian lady who graduated with 4.8 out of possible 5.0 grade scale has shared her inspiring academic journey.
Her Story;
“Yes, I said I was not going to broadcast it but how can I hide my God’s goodness?
NOTE: DON’T READ THIS FROM THE ANGLE OF PITY BUT CELEBRATE A STRONG COMRADE.
According to Jennifer Hilejime, she said “In a summary, I lost dad and mum while in jss3. Relatives suggested we move to the village at a point. Immediate elder brother (late) decided to go and do farm work to ensure I further since he considered me the intelligent one🤦🤦🤦😭”
“My secondary school (Great bethel international) registered my SSCE…I wrote and came out with one of the best results (6A and 3B) that year.”
“After secondary school, I went into teaching earning 3000. Out of which I saved and obtained my jamb scoring 232. “
“I ended up at college of education since I could not afford University fees. I studied maths/Economics graduating with 13points( one of the highest that year).”
“Upon graduation, I went back to teaching and this time chose to see my younger one through school and just when she graduated, I picked my direct entry form.”
“By His grace, I gained admission to study Economics at BSU….this was my happiest moment as I was fulfilling the wish of a dyïng father—–(no matter what,get me a degree).”
Jennifer Hilejime, has added that
My experience:
“Truly it was not an easy journey. At the college I was that girl with only one black gown and one shoe, picking pieces of soap in the bathroom to have a clean bath😭………”
“At BSU, I became more matured. I could hide my tears under my smiles. I could give help to others even though I too knew I needed the help. “
“I lived in a worst environment but was happy I could have a space to keep my table and read. For each night that it rained, I stayed awake to ensure that I control water……”

Was I alone?
“I can’t belittle my God and hide His grace over my life.Just when I was about dropping out;”
- I got awarded as TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION EXAMPLAR through the office of the first lady(Her Excellency, Eunice Ortom ) and this came with Financial benefits
- I got a Scholarship award for being indigent yet outstanding by ASUU national body.
I will be wrong if I say I had no one because God raised help from strangers.
Why post?
I am not ungrateful so I can’t keep this joy to myself but reveal His works so it can be a motivation to some one out there.
“A lecturer (Dr. Joseph Fefa )shared His story with students and that was my first lecture;that gave me hope. Mine can inspire another,so let the chain continue.”
The secret?
I have my life Code:5P’s and 3G’s
I.e Proper Planning Prevent Poor Performance

“I pulled through to the end.

“This is just a starting point because I see His mighty hand opening all locked doors.
I call this my story . A teary story with a glorious end. Be inspired and have faith that with God, everything is possible.

Congratulations to me, Congratulations to us, Congratulations to my daddy.
