I met a tall, handsome and dark guy. As if that was the criteria to be in a relationship with a guy, then we started dating. I was a virgin and he talked me into sleeping with him. I agreed because I wanted to seal our love, so I did and got pregnant. You can’t secure the love you have…
It all started in 2016 during my NYSC when I wrote quite a number of examinations because I wanted to commence my masters’ abroad as soon as I’m done with my NYSC. I sent about 13 applications to different scholarships such as Erasmus mundus, commonwealth, Ptdf and I also applied to five US based schools. To my dismay, I was…
