In her caption of the video, Odeola said many people told her it was not possible when she set out to drastically change her career.
She said the best decision she ever made in her life was to become a registered nurse.
She wrote:
“I thought you guys would like to know more about me. A lot of people tried to make me believe it was impossible, but I was persistent. Becoming a nurse is the best decision I ever made and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Netizens asked her how she did it, and she replied:
“I applied to LSBU with my WAEC. Didn’t think it was possible, but I just thought to try. They accepted my WAEC and also requested for my law certificate to make up the entry credit, and voila.”
