BAT-IG: My Motivation, Trajectory and Divine Guidance with Future in View
The impact of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on my current actions particularly in advocating for grassroots communities and supporting his administration is far more complex than many realize. Most people assume it is just about creating political awareness, while others think it is merely for show. Today, I want to take you through the true journey of what motivates me.
As a young man who had just finished secondary school, I went straight into the family business, dealing in the sale of building materials. The spark that changed my life ignited in 2010 when I converted to Christianity. Shortly after, I had a dream. In this dream, I saw Tinubu, He was seated close to me but he was occupying a very high position. He looked at me and said, "Had it been you went to school, we would have looked for a very juicy post for you to hold."
This struck me hard. I began seriously thinking about returning to school, even though it had been years since I graduated from secondary school. Before that dream, I had the intention to return eventually, but the urge wasn't there because I was making good money from the business. My mindset at the time could be perfectly captured by the Yoruba proverb: "Mα»n wa owo lα», o pade iyi lα»na" (I was in search of wealth, but I met honor along the way). As someone from the village, I wondered why I should bother going back to school when I was already making money. But after that dream, the urge became irresistible.
Not long after, I sat for the JAMB exam. The score wasn't great, but I still gained admission into Ifo Tech. I attended the school for about a year, but I never felt comfortable there. I only managed to push through because of the dream I had. I made a firm promise to myself that I would not settle for anything less than a university degree, especially given the dichotomy that existed and still exists where people view other tertiary institutions as inferior to universities. Even while attending Ifo Tech, I applied to the University of Lagos through their remedial program, choosing Social Work as my course. Keep in mind, I was a science student, but I desperately wanted to cross over to the social sciences because of my burning passion for politics. Unfortunately, that program was not successful.
Something happened along the way that led me to leave Ifo Tech around 2011 and return home. I sat down and thought deeply about where to go from there. I finally resolved to pick up another JAMB form in 2013 (and as we all know, JAMB results are only valid for one year). I hired a personal tutor to teach me at home while I prepared. When exam day arrived, I took it and scored very well, gaining admission into the University of Ilorin to study Sociology.
When the day for clearance came, I boarded a "korope" (shuttle bus) heading to the University of Ilorin. Anyone familiar with UNILORIN knows the feeling the campus is incredibly far from the main gate. As we drove toward the main campus, I was filled with absolute joy. When the bus stopped, I paid the driver and asked a student at the school park, "Please, where is the Department of Sociology?" He pointed the way, and I thanked him.
On getting there, however, my heart broke. I was told that I could not be cleared to study Sociology because I was a science student and lacked the required subject combination in both JAMB and my O-Levels. Seeing the devastation on my face, a man in the office told me, "There is a new social science course called Social Work that you can study with your current subject combination."
The moment he mentioned the course, I had an instant flashback. I realized it was the exact same course I had applied for at the University of Lagos through their remedial program years prior, which hadn't worked out. The man directed me to the Social Work
