Nigerian Lady Bags PhD In South Africa At Age 28

Nigerian Lady Who Used to Lie She’s on Vacation in South Africa ‘Comes Back’ With PhD Degree, Many Praise Her

  • A 28-year-old Nigerian lady, Oyindamola Ajayi, has graduated from North West University with a PhD
  • The lady said that she overcame many low moments to achieve her dream, revealing many did not know she was abroad studying
  • People were wowed that she achieved such a big feat at such young age as they sent her congratulatory messages

A Nigerian lady, Oyindamola Ajayi, has celebrated bagging a doctorate degree at the young age of 28 after more than three years in school.

Now a doctor in corporate communications, the lady revealed that many years ago, she never thought a time like the one she is in would come. The lady said that people thought she was on vacation in South Africa.

People did not know I was in South Africa for my PhD.

Sharing her story on her LinkedIn page, Oyindamola said there was a time she lied to people that she was only vacationing in South Africa.

The 28-year-old old lady disclosed she had to say that so she would not have much to explain if she caved in and decided to quit the programme altogether.

A part of her post read: “I remember lying to people that I was in South Africa for vacation anytime they asked why I was out of the country. Because the first year was so tough, I didn’t want to have to explain to many people just in case I gave into the pressure and decided to quit.”

The North West University graduate revealed that the journey was a time of self-discovery after battled bouts of low moments. At such a young age?
