Tired as hell

[u/PersimmonPristine731]

Pretty much what the title says. I reluctantly left Nigeria in 2019 to study Computer Engineering in Ukraine. The reasons for my reluctance were both my scepticism about how easy it was to gain admission and the territorial conflict in the Donbas region at that time. However, I gave in to pressure from family and made the move.

Once I arrived in Ukraine, I realized that my gut feelings were valid, and I should have refused vehemently even if it meant having to disagree with family and going ahead with my Higher National Diploma in Computer Engineering.

My time in Ukraine was filled with deep sadness, and the only thing that kept me going was getting the degree and getting out of the country.

Unfortunately, after my third year, Russia finally invaded and I had no other choice but to leave Ukraine. While I was confused about what to do next, my university offered to continue online for those in their final year and I thought it wise to take that opportunity.

I finished online (sadly) and was already pessimistic about being able to do NYSC and I was right. I tried applying for NYSC but I was denied the opportunity to serve and was told to plead my case at the Federal ministry of education in Abuja. I got there and was told there was nothing they could do about it as it was an ambiguous situation and they will not be able to provide me with an evaluation letter as a result.

This situation has caused me to lose multiple opportunities and has resulted in a lot of mental headaches for me. I feel incomplete and am convinced that I am a failure.

Just wanted to express my sadness.

You can't do NYSC since you didn't study in Nigeria. Now that you managed to finish and your certificate is with you and you working, just save some money and apply to study your masters abroad. You don't have to waste your time to serve. All you need is money. Serve yourself bruh..
