Last Sunday, Babcock University held their convocation ceremony,
20-year-old Omobola Oduyoye emerged the best graduating student after
scoring a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.92. An an indigene of
Ilisan-Remo, Ikenne Local Government Area of the state,Oduyoye was
awarded a first class degree in Public Health.
On how she handled pressure from male students and lecturers, Oduyoye said this:
“I have a number of friends – including male students but I always draw a
line between friendship for academic advancement and immoral
relationship. I’m not abusive; neither am I a snub. But I don’t
encourage any relationship that will distract me from my studies. I
don’t encourage any action that can suggest to you that I’m a cheap
commodity. I also ensure that I don’t go alone anywhere or follow
anybody to dark corners even if she is a girl like me.
“It may sound funny to you, I have never kissed anyone in my life and I
have not been kissed by anybody. I thank God for the grace He gives me
to achieve this because I know that some people will say it is not easy
but with God all things are possible,”
