UoPeople Prospect 0n 27/06/2014
I came across a program in
2010 while desperately looking for options towards my educational life. My
search led me to a School named UoPeople, at first that name scared me a little
too, but the integrity of the website won my affinity and attention.
A little preface, at
400 Level, professed to be a graduating student which I knew I was not. I left
OSU(Ogun state university) now OOU (Olabisi Onabanjo University) with no
certificate of any sort. I
told God at a time while in
OSU that I didn't want to graduate with a OSU certificate, and I asked God for
a foreign education instead, I was not surprised that happened. After leaving
OSU when I could at 400L, I tried to do business knowing that in naija no
certificate means no job. After running real estate business for a while, I
just felt a sense of emptiness, apart from that I was worried about not having a
certificate with all the grammar wey I dey speak.
Along the way I left RCCG to join HICC which was a youthful church, to engage in their spiritual foundation and leadership class called IMPACT academy then. I finished the class then and that helped me spiritually. While in the church, I worked at the church office and for the 1 year plus that I was there I was not paid salary, because I was a volunteer staff, while thinking about my education, one night after work hours in the church office, I did thorough internet search for online scholarship sponsored academic program. I ran into a website listing many foreign scholarship program. UoPeople was listed.
That was it, I registered sharply as an OSU guy, I sent my documents to the school, they replied me. I had to reach my secondary school, they also replied me. I did all the required thing for admission.
Afterwards, UoPeople reached me and gave me scholarship to study in their online school. Luckily, when I was registering no fees were applicable at UoPeople. But that has changed since then because
UoPeople has to remain sustainable, due to financial obligation to keep school standardized technology-wise, pay staffs, advertise, pay lecturers/instructors etc.
Register today, UoPeople could be a miracle for you too!
Today, my family's worry over my education and lost time has reduced, my HR brother(Leke Oshiyemi) already said he his proud of me. Mind you, UoPeople still offers scholarship till date, though there is now a formal structure around it. But many students are benefiting from the scholarship. UoPeople don't want any student to say, I am not educated because I don't have a sponsor, UoPeople tried to resolve that headache.
Today, I am back in RCCG with a leadership spirit and a renewed mind that anything is possible.
