A young Nigerian lady named Olajide Faith has graduated from Bowen University, Nigeria as a Medical Doctor after studying for 8 straight years in medical school.
Faith earned her MBBS from Bowen University’s College of Medicine after 8 years instead of the normal academic timeline of 6 years due to several challenges. She earned a double major in both medicine and a Bachelor of Physiology.
She took to her Facebook page to celebrate her achievement, sharing that she experienced some challenges including delay in a bid to achieve her dream of becoming a Medical Doctor.
After graduating from high school, Faith said she experienced a two-year delay before gaining university admission. During this waiting period, she felt like a failure.

”I’m grateful to God that this day has finally come. 10 years ago when I finished secondary and had 2 years delay before gaining admission into university, I thought I had no future nor anything good could come out of me,” she said.
Faith thanked her parents for remaining persistent and always encouraging her not to give up on my dreams. She said that though she had other plans and had set a timeline for her goals, God chose to work according to His timing to achieve their shared objective.
She stated that she was glad that the academic journey of eight years in medical school finally came to an end as she took the Hippocratic Oath. The Hippocratic Oath is an oath of ethics historically taken by physicians during their induction.
”The journey of 8 years in Medical school comes to an end today as I take the HIPPOCRATIC OATH (August 22, 2023). All I can say is Thank you Jesus, and the holy spirit who stayed by my side and walked through this journey of 8 years with me,” she said.
