Ayoola: This is my happiest moment. I feel on top of the world.

SOCIOSCOPE: Could you tell me about your admission into Great Ife?
OLAWOORE: In fact, my brother, it was not easy because I did post-UME into OAU in 2008 but because of the wrong choice of subjects, I was not admitted. However, in 2009, I was given the opportunity to become a bona fide student.

OYINDAMOLA: At the end of my programme here, I want to become a secretary in an organization.
