 Interviewer: Hello, can we meet you?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: My name is Adetunji Elizabeth Adedayo. I'm a student of university of Ilorin studying Educational management, 400level.


Interviewer: What course did you choose initially?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: Business administration.

Interviewer: Would you mind sharing your admission story with us? Was it your first Jamb and how did you feel when you finally got in?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: Actually I got admission through Direct Entry, when I got admitted into the University of Ilorin I was so happy because I have been denied admission three time.  I graduated from secondary school 2015 and in year 2016 I took my first jamb and applied for accounting in Obafemi Awolowo University but was denied admission, the other year again I took jamb and apply again for the same school but no admission.  So in 2018 I heard of IJMB and JUPEB so I did JUPEB in 2018 and applied for Accounting in UNILORIN but was not given admission. So I reapplied in 2019 and applied for Business administration and was finally given admission. I really felt grateful to God because all hope have been lost. But God finally did it.

Interviewer: Was there any point during this wait that you felt like giving up on University education?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: Yes ma. I told myself and Mum that after applying for 2019 admission and I'm not admitted, I will not apply to any university or school again, that would be the end of going to higher institution, because I felt really bad and lost all hope because then most of my secondary school friends were already in school, so I felt like the only one who have not gotten admitted.

Interviewer: So, are you single in the Lord or Single and searching or engaged or maybe married?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: I'm still very much single ma

Interviewer: Give us a brief detail of your educational background. Primary & Secondary.

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: I attend a private primary school (Omotayo nursery and primay, Abule -Egba, Lagos) and A public secondary school ( Oke -odo senior high school,oke-odo, Lagos).

Interviewer: Were you a prefect in school? You look like someone perfect for a head girl.

Interviewer: I must say that I am fascinated by your personality. What if you are not currently studying this course you are studying, what course would you rather be studying?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: Accounting, Finance or Business administration.

Interviewer: Share your experience as a child.

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: Well as a child I was happy with my family. I am the first daughter and child, I always wish to have older siblings. I guess maybe that was because most of my friends then have older siblings and maybe because I don't also like my parents holding me responsible for anything happening in the house. One experience I can never forget was when I do take the milk and Milo bought at home to school. Then I was in primary school but can't remember the class or age. The beverages bought then was always in tin, so I take out of it to school every day till my mum caught me and gave me the beating of my life. Since then I never took anything that is not mine. I'm very happy today for that because if my mum did not correct me then, I know I will later regret it.

Interviewer: Do you have a side hustle or work asides from schooling? If yes, would you mind telling us about it and how you started?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: Yes I do, I'm an entrepreneur, a makeup artist and also a hair stylist.

Interviewer: What department do you belong to at church and are you currently holding any position?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: - Sanitation department- (The head of department), Choral department, Drama department-(financial secretary), Decorating department and Prayer band.

Interviewer: How are you able to juggle School, Fellowship with God, positions at school/church and business? That is a lot for anyone to handle. Can you share actionable tips on how you were able to work everything out without one affecting the other?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: I don't even know how to explain this. All I can say is that it's by the help and mercy of God because it has not been an easy task.

Interviewer: Would you like to share your Christian experience?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: It's not an easy task to be a Christian because many people believe that as a Christian there are certain things you must do and not do. You must always have faith and hope in God because there will always be times that it will look like your whole world is about to crumble but when you have faith and hope in God all will be well.

Interviewer: What is your favorite Bible verse and why do you like this verse?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: Psalms 54. I love this verse because it has helped me in times of trouble.

Interviewer: What would be your advice to non-believers?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: My advice to non-believers is that no matter the circumstances they should always put God first.

Interviewer: With the rise of false pastors and funny doctrines, what would you advise believers?

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: I will like the believers to know their God personally.

Sis Adetunji Elizabeth: I became a member through Brother Emmanuel Olaleye(Ex corper)

Interviewer: What was your first impression of Halleluyah Chapel? Is that impression still intact till now?

Why worry when you have The ONE who can take care of all your needs? God has always shown us and told us that HE is our father and HE called us HIS son. One of the responsibilities of a responsible father is to cater to the need of his children while it is the responsibility of the child to trust his father and take all his care (needs) to him.

They are highly respected to perform activities especially in protecting the interest of their country in the foreign country.  Christians are known to be the ambassador of Christ in this world in which we have been commissioned to present and protect the interest of our country. 2 Corinthians 5:20 says “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation .”  This is the great task committed to us by our country leader Jesus Christ to bring unto his kingdom the people of the world and we cannot afford to ignore this assignment. An ambassador representing his country in a foreign country will never forget his primary assignment in that country so also we must not forget our primary assignment. The...

Acknowledging God; a means of getting direction

To acknowledge has various definition. Some of them are listed below 1. Admitting the knowledge of something or someone; recognizing it as a fact or truth; declaring one's belief in something or someone. 2. To be grateful of. But for this article, we would be looking at acknowledging as expressing recognition of the rights, efforts or authority of someone. What does it mean to direct? In simple terms: point out or show (to somebody) the right course or way; to guide, as by pointing out the way. You might be wondering, how do the definitions listed above relate with the topic? What significance do they have with the topic being explained? For better understanding, we go back to a verse in the Bible. Proverbs 3vs6: in all your ways acknowledge Him (God), and He (God) will make your paths straight . From the passage, we are made to understand that directions come when we acknowledge God. We will be shown the right path to walk in when we recognise the authority of God upon our lives. ...
