A real estate agent based in Lagos, has promised to gift his cousin a plot of land in Epe, Lagos, following her performance in the 2024 UTME.
The touching story unfolded as Babajide shared the news of his cousin’s UTME results on Twitter (now X).
Revealing the background behind his unconventional motivation tactic, Babajide disclosed that he had issued a challenge to his cousin, promising her plot of land if she managed to achieve a score of 300 in the examination.
It wasn’t a casual bet, however. Babajide explained that the challenge stemmed from a heartfelt appeal from his cousin’s father, who sought his assistance in motivating her to excel in her academic pursuits.
The cousin’s father reportedly sought Babajide’s assistance after his daughter scored a disappointing 170 in her previous attempt at the UTME in 2023, hoping that Babajide’s motivation tactics would inspire her to excel in her academic pursuits.
Determined to spur his cousin to reach for the stars, Babajide set the ambitious target, knowing that it would require dedication and effort on her part.
After weeks of anticipation, the moment of truth arrived when the UTME results were released.
Babajide recounted with pride how his cousin promptly messaged him on WhatsApp, accompanied by a screenshot of her scores, eagerly reminding him of their agreement.
Although she fell short of the target of 300, Babajide expressed immense satisfaction with his cousin’s achievement, affirming that she had indeed “landed among the stars.”
Her performance in the examination was certainly commendable, with scores of 70 in English, 79 in physics, 58 in biology, and 74 in chemistry, totaling an aggregate score of 281.
