“I Only Read My Books Night Before Exams” – Babcock Best Graduating Student Shares Story

Ayobola Makinde, a brilliant lady who has graduated as the best student at Babcock University, Nigeria, has opened up about her journey to achieving academic excellence.

The brilliant lady revealed on her LinkedIn page that the only time she studied in the school was a week before the start of the examination and sometimes, just the night before.

She encouraged others not to take the same route as she did and to go the extra mile to ensure they succeed at all cost.

Her LinkedIn post read;

“Today, I graduated from Babcock University as the best student in the School of Science and Technology with a CGPA of 4.72 in Agricultural Economics. And all I can say is God did it, because truly, it could only be God. Of all the ‘God did it’s’ that you’ve ever seen, this one most likely beats them hands down. 

“I say this because the story of achievement is not like many others in its category. Until my final year, (project na my mate??😂😭), I had very few stories of sleepless nights, or tireless study or library visits; all I had and still have is God’s grace and nothing else. I did just enough to get me by- nothing special or extraordinary as would be expected with such an achievement. 

“I went to class, and wrote my notes, and started reading the week just before exams, or even the night before, but God carried me to this place still. 

“I realize that this story of mine may rub off the wrong way on certain people- how dare I say I didn’t do anything? Can’t I carry my private school first class and go😒? But really, this isn’t to advise anyone to go in this path, in fact, I can now only imagine what this story could have been if I had aspired for more. So if you can relate to this in any way, ASPIRE FOR MORE! You are capable of doing so much more❤️.

“I’m putting this out there as a child of an intentional Father, to remind myself in the coming phases to reach for more. That said, I am proud of you Ayobola! Abba is proud of you🥺❤️.
