Ifeanyi Obi, a Nigerian individual, has become an inspiration to many on social media due to his extraordinary academic journey. Despite graduating with a 2.2 in his undergraduate studies, Obi defied the odds and emerged as the best student in a prestigious European university.
Sharing his incredible story on his LinkedIn page, Obi revealed that his academic performance, indicated by his 2.2 undergraduate degree, initially posed a significant challenge in his pursuit of higher education. His applications to esteemed universities in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada were met with rejection.
However, Obi did not allow these setbacks to discourage him. Instead, he turned his focus towards a European university and persevered in his efforts. Despite the difficulties he faced, he successfully secured admission to pursue his studies.
Motivated to prove himself, Obi approached his academic journey with unwavering determination and dedication. Surprising many, he not only exceeded his previous academic achievements but also emerged as the top student in the European university.
After four years of hard work and exceptional performance, Obi’s efforts paid off as he attained the position of an associate professor. Additionally, his software, BuildTech, received recognition from a prestigious UK organization, opening up new opportunities for his success.
This accomplishment led to Obi obtaining a special visa to establish a software lab in London, further cementing his path to prosperity.
He wrote;
“I graduated with honours(2:2) for my undergraduate studies, which wasn’t an excellent feat. This was due to personal issues and strangely struggles against words spoken to me by a Prophet that I won’t do well academically if ever I chose that path.
“I applied to 3 Universities in the UK for my Masters studies and got rejected. With that I applied to other Universities in USA, Canada and got rejected as well. With over 16 rejections, I proceeded with great determination to Cyprus to study.
“I told myself I only could turn my story around. With increased focus and developed study patterns, I graduated with High Honours(3.8) for my Masters Studies and was offered a place for PhD and with same determines and few mistakes aswell, I graduated as the best student that year and was the Valedictorian.
“Last year my software in BuildTech got approved by the UK endorsement body and this year obtained an Innovator Migrant Visa to establish a software lab in London.”
