The journey started some years ago immediately after my secondary school. I enrolled for the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board Examination with a total score of 230. I felt so proud of myself, and then I applied for post UTME exam in one of the federal universities in Nigeria. After writing the exam, I felt relaxed owing to the fact that I had a friend who was a 300level architectural student in the same university. As God may have it and in proving to me that we should not put our trust in any man except him.
The friend I had there was not informed and so I missed a very vital information, and so I did not gain admission that year. The following year, I chose another university and this time it was the university in my state of origin. After scoring 219 in the JAMB exam, I enrolled for the post UTME exam. However before I wrote the exam, an uncle of mine who had schooled in the same university told me that I could pay some money to a lecturer to pave way for my admission. He spoke with my dad about it, though my dad still had his doubt of the authenticity, I was able to convince him and he paid quite a huge amount to my uncle to secure this.
On the day of the exam, before going to the school, I asked my uncle whom my father had given the money to take me to the man who he intended giving the money to but to my greatest surprise he said I was a small boy and the man won't want to discuss with a child. I told him that invariably it was a little boy that was giving him this money in question and my uncle said I should just write the exam. As God may have it, I went in for the exam and the result was the highest I have had in all the post UME exams I have written but I still didn't get the admission even with the money I paid. I felt depressed and frustrated for weeks. I had a strong conviction in me that my uncle had duped my father because he never called my dad afterwards to explain why I didn't get the admission coupled with the money paid. I never knew God had a perfect plan for me all along. I prayed until i became tired of praying. I resulted into sowing of seeds all to gain God's favour. I became tired of doing anything all I had in mine was that God's will should be done. I gained admission into the Madonna University to study Mass Communication with an option to switch to law at 200level. I later found out that it wasn't going to be possible and then I withdrew. National Open University granted me admission but I rejected since there was a problem of not going to law school at the end.
A day came when I applied for POST UTME exam in the Rivers state university of science and technology now Rivers state university. It was time for God to prove himself. I scored 242 in jamb that year. All I prayed for was to score 60 in the UTME. The night before the exam I was practising the brainfriend exam package I had got from the school and in the process I slept off, I had a dream where I scored 60 in the UTME. I woke up and prayed and the following day I went into the hall and lo and behold I scored 71 in the UTME. I did not know God had a plan as the previous year the aggregate was 60 after dividing your jamb by 8 and dividing your UTME score by 2. This time around it was increased from 60 to 65.5. My aggregate was 65.75 where upon I merited the admission.
God's plan is always the best plan. Men will forsake you when you need them the most but our God is ever sure. It may seem like he is not answering your prayers but before you conclude give him a chance. So many of us are not allowing God to be God in our lives and that's why we tend to encounter problems in our lives. Learn to allow God to be God in your life today and do not take his place and everything will work out well. This is my testimony I hope you are encouraged by this piece. My name is Joseph Oduanam.
