As the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) approaches, many candidates are not just preparing academically but also holding onto their dreams and prayers for success.
One of such candidates, Owoade Opeyemi Oluwatosin, has shared a touching story of resilience, heartbreak, and hope after several years of trying to gain admission into a university.
“All Ways Seemed Closed Since 2020”
Opeyemi revealed that she completed her secondary school education in 2020, but despite multiple attempts, she has not yet been able to secure admission.
“I tried doing JAMB for the first time in 2022. I was heartbroken when I didn’t reach the cut-off mark and wasn’t given admission,” she said.
“Since then, all ways seem closed. Even every other private school I tried entering also did not work out.”
For many young Nigerians like Opeyemi, the journey toward higher education has been filled with numerous hurdles — from not meeting cut-off marks to struggling with admission processes that are often highly competitive.
Hoping for a Better Outcome in 2025
Despite the disappointments and setbacks, Opeyemi remains hopeful and prayerful ahead of the 2025 UTME.
“I pray for grace in this year’s UTME so I can enter any university of my choice to study the course of my choice,” she added.
Her words capture the emotional reality many candidates are living through — where every examination season comes with renewed hopes and silent prayers for breakthrough.
Final Words
Opeyemi’s story is a reminder that for many candidates, the UTME is more than just an examination.
It is a symbol of dreams delayed but not defeated, and of the quiet strength it takes to keep trying even after disappointment.
As the 2025 UTME approaches, candidates like Opeyemi show the importance of resilience, faith, and the unwavering belief that better days are ahead.
We wish all 2025 UTME candidates the very best and pray that every effort will be crowned with success.
