Young Nigerian man who was denied admission because he was too young finally graduates, earns bachelors degree in Biochemistry

A young Nigerian man who was denied admission because he was too young finally graduates, earns bachelors degree in Biochemistry.

Ayomiposi Obisakin, a determined young Nigerian, has graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Nigeria.

His journey to success was filled with hurdles, including being denied admission at the age of 15 for being “too young.” Sharing his inspiring story on LinkedIn, Ayomiposi recounted how his dream of becoming a doctor initially seemed unattainable.

“I was rejected by the university at 15 because I was ‘too young.’ But that didn’t stop me,” he wrote.

Despite the setback, Ayomiposi enrolled in OAU’s pre-degree program, uncertain whether he would secure admission or study Medicine, as he had hoped. Eventually, he was admitted to study Biochemistry instead—a path he had not planned.

“There were countless times I broke down in tears. The courses were tough, the system felt overwhelming, and I struggled. But today, I’m proud of how far I’ve come,” he shared.

In his second year, Ayomiposi made a bold decision to combine freelancing with his studies. Despite his father’s initial disapproval, he chose to explore opportunities beyond academics, driven by his belief in maximizing every chance to grow.

“If others can do it, so can I—or at least, I’ll fail trying,” he told himself. Balancing school, work, personal goals, and life’s challenges was not easy.

He admitted to making mistakes along the way but emphasized the importance of learning and perseverance. “Though I may seem stub𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧, I’m just someone who believes in maximizing every opportunity, even if it means failing a few times,” he said.

Ayomiposi graduated with Second-Class Upper Honors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, a feat he considers a significant milestone. Beyond academics, he co-founded Helping The Streets Foundation, an NGO supporting families in need.

During his time at OAU, he actively participated in extracurricular activities, such as the Millennium Campus Network Project, and freelanced as a video editor on platforms like Upwork.

He also taught MTH 101 to two sets of undergraduate students, many of whom achieved excellent grades under his guidance.

His practical experience includes completing his SIWES program at the OAU Teaching Hospital, where he gained valuable laboratory s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s. He also co-published research, attended seminars, and collaborated with creatives on projects like videos and podcasts.

Ayomiposi is passionate about mentorship and helping others achieve their goals. He has mentored students, sharing freelancing s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s, video editing techniques, and academic strategies that have helped others exceed their initial expectations.

“These experiences allowed me to meet inspiring individuals and broaden my horizons,” he noted. Grateful to God, his parents, and the OAU community, Ayomiposi is optimistic about the future.

“Now, the real journey begins. I want to explore opportunities both within and outside of school,” he said.
