| Odera Ogbodo |
Like an unstoppable fast train, Odera Ogbodo, 23, from Enugu State, graduated in First Class division in Information and Communications Technology recently at the University of Greenwich. This came barely few weeks after an exclusive report by Education Review of the Sun Newspaper on 21-year-old Precious Oyelade, born to Nigerian parents living in South London, who also won the best first degree academic project at the Cambridge University. She wrote on a project, titled: Changing Representations of Nigerian Identity: An Exploration through Nollywood and its Audience. Can anything good come from Nigerian education system stymied by decades of neglect and rot?
The young lad who attended the University of Nigeria Primary School Enugu Campus and after the common entrance examinations, was accepted into King’s College, Lagos, which was his first choice secondary school and University of Nigeria Secondary School, Enugu Campus. After a short spell at King’s College, he switched to University of Nigeria Secondary School, Enugu Campus, where he completed secondary education.
He however attributed hard work, mindset and will to succeed as the secrets behind his achievements.
He further revealed that he spent over £9,000 per session as tuition fee with an accommodation cost of about £7000 per year. In three years this amounted to nearly £50,000 (that’s approximately N13.5m) spent on tuition and accommodation alone.
Travel cards, mobile top ups and internet bills, plus other living expenses have not even been included, he said.
