@TweetsOfSHEGUN , on October 4 , 2018 , narrated how he lost his father at six and his mother had to cater to four children alone .
He said , “I graduated from secondary school in 2014 . I went out to search for jobs . I found few unsuitable jobs , did them for a while , and later came across a pharmacy ; I was employed .
“After a year, my mom asked, ‘Won’t you go to a tertiary institution ?’ I said yes, I won ’t go. She insisted ; I asked her where we could get the funds . She said she would get a loan that I must go to school .
“So , from my savings I got a JAMB form in 2015. I requested time off work to register for JAMB , sat JAMB exam, and post-UTME also . I wrote JAMB exam and passed , passed post-UTME too , but I was not admitted . I tried again the following year . Same fate!
“Tried again the following year 2017, passed and got admitted for Medicine. I resigned from work , mom applied for a loan in more than three places and none was given to her . Why ? The state government had bans on loans ( if you are in Ogun State ; you will know this to be true) . She tried her best . Ultimatum for acceptance fee elapsed . My admission was withdrawn !”
A Twitter user, Pamilerin Adegoke , after reading the post, said he had decided to put Segun on a scholarship and he would pay all his university bills till he finished school .
However , Segun made a post on how he did not get a good result in the 2019 UTME, saying he would kill himself .
“It is now when people want to send me to school that I will score 167 in UTME ? 167 ? LMFAO . Make I close eyes picks answers sef … Me?? 167 ??
“Meanwhile , I will be teaching y’ all how to make tea with Sniper by 9pm live on Twitter.
