Why University of Ibadan student quit

People asked why she dropped out of the institution, which is Nigeria’s first varsity and was founded in 1948.

Responding, she wrote:

“They wanted to kill me.”

Her cryptic response suggests she gave up because of how super strenuous her master’s programme was.

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported about a lady who risked returning to Nigeria after dropping out of her master’s program in the UK.

According to the lady, she started classes but discovered that she was not assimilating the way she should. At a point, she decided to take a break, and during the process, she gave birth, and her husband and kids joined her in the UK. In her words:

“To my surprise, they told me that that would mean I’ll have to suspend my studies and then leave the UK. then come back at a later time to come complete my studies. Who does that? This was the moment I dropped out. For good four months, I wasn’t going to school… My husband started feeling the heat and asked what would happen because everyone was on my student visa.”
