“So, when we heard the announcement, we came down to his house, he said yes that he said so. He said that we should go down to Asaba, to get the School of Nursing form that he has paid for it.
“He donated one of his cars that conveyed us to Asaba and he provided lunch for us. When we got there, they gave us the nursing form and we went home.
“They then sent us text message that we would be writing the exams in February. We went for the exams after writing the exams, they sent some persons admission letter that we should come for interview.
“We also went for the interview and three of us made it. We are very grateful that we are among the people that made it. So, first deposit has been made for the school payment, the next one is about to be made.
“We are very grateful for this great opportunity. If not for this great opportunity, we don’t know if we would have been able to see the four corners of the higher institution.
“We are very grateful, our families are grateful to our sponsor and governor-to-be Olorogun Barrister Kenneth Gbagi, thank you very much sir, God bless you sir.
“To those who thought it was a scam, I want to tell you that this is not scam. We have all our forms here, Gbagi Foundation has really tried for us. The foundation has given us scholarship forms which we filled and submitted to the school.
“It is not a scam, it is real. We have been admitted into School of Midwifery Sapele and Asaba, God bless Olorogun Barrister Kenneth Gbagi, we are really grateful”.
