Nigerians seek help for UI medical school dropout-turned porter
AFEEZ HANAFI
The moving story of Terhemen Anongo, a former medical student who became a porter after depression forced him out of the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, at 500 level, has attracted reactions from different quarters.
While many showed empathy for the 43-year-old man, some blamed his father for forcing the course on him. Others however chided him for failing to rise above the hurdles to complete his study.
Scores of people, who read Anongo’s pathetic experience published in an interview by
Saturday PUNCH, sought medical and financial help for the 43-year-old, urging individuals, government and civil society organisations to urgently come to his aid.
Devotional Message By Dr. Paul Enenche
TOPIC: Relevance Through Impact
SCRIPTURE: And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. Luke 10:17.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You will not understand the joy of living until you understand the joy of impact.
Sometime ago, a woman met me and said that her son who was in second year in the university, studying Medicine was about to drop out of school because his father who was a drunkard could not pay his tuition fees.
As a person, I studied Medicine in school and I know what it takes to get an admission to study Medicine. I am aware of the number of people who write the University Matriculation Examination yearly to study Medicine and Surgery as a course but fail to get an admission. So, I felt it was totally wrong for someone who already got the admission to drop out of school.
