A female student of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) has attracted widespread attention and sparked mixed reactions online due to her bold and unique sign-out outfit, which many described as daring and unconventional. The student, known as Blessing Alims on Facebook, proudly showcased her outfit while celebrating the completion of her academic journey.
Blessing Alims recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution, a program designed to equip students with skills to manage and resolve conflicts in various social, political, and organizational contexts. She took to social media to share her joy and gratitude, emphasizing how her faith played a pivotal role in her academic success.
In her heartfelt post, Blessing attributed her achievements entirely to God, thanking Him for guiding her throughout her educational struggles. She described her academic journey as challenging but ultimately rewarding, encouraging others never to give up on their dreams despite repeated failures or setbacks.
Her story is particularly inspiring because she overcame significant hurdles on her way to earning her degree. Blessing revealed that she had to write the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) exams four times before finally securing admission into the university. This persistence highlights her determination and unwavering commitment to achieving her goals.
Her viral post reads, “The end of an era for a B.Sc in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution at the University of Calabar. It can only be GOD🙏🏻🥹❤️💙”. Many social media users have praised her courage and openness, while some have focused on her fashion choice, debating whether it was appropriate for a graduation event. Nevertheless, Blessing remains undeterred by criticism and continues to celebrate her success boldly.
