Nigerian Overcomes Financial Hardship to Graduate 3.80/4.0 CGPA in Faculty of Arts
Despite severe financial challenges, Olayinka Babatunde graduated as the best student in UI’s Faculty of Arts with a first-class degree in Linguistics, showcasing perseverance, adaptability, and strategic thinking.
Olayinka Babatunde, a 27-year-old Nigerian, triumphed over significant financial challenges to become the best graduating student in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Ibadan (UI). He earned a first-class degree in Linguistics with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.80 out of 4.00.
Initially aspiring to study German due to his interest in the language, Olayinka opted for Linguistics upon his brother’s advice, believing it would allow him to learn multiple languages. However, he soon discovered that the program focused more on the structure and use of language rather than learning new languages. Despite this, he embraced his studies and excelled academically.

During his time at UI, Olayinka faced severe financial difficulties, especially when his father fell ill in his third year, rendering his family unable to support him. To make ends meet, he engaged in various online ventures, including business marketing, copywriting, graphic design, e-commerce, and information marketing. He also worked as a speech and dataset annotator for his lecturers, with one recommending him to colleagues in the United States for additional freelance work.
Reflecting on his journey, Olayinka emphasized the importance of perseverance and strategic thinking. He shared how he overcame poor test results in a challenging General Studies course by intensively preparing for exams and focusing on other courses to balance his grades. He also highlighted the value of learning from others, stating, “Instead of being envious of people who are better than you, get closer to them and learn. Their insights, tactics, and strategies can improve your life.”
Olayinka’s story serves as an inspiration, demonstrating that with determination and adaptability, one can overcome significant obstacles to achieve academic excellence.
