Oluwakemi Bayode, a young Nigerian woman, successfully fought back after being turned down for a full scholarship to study in the United States of America (USA).
Oluwakemi Bayode, a Caleb University graduate from Lagos, Nigeria, presented her experience of persevering in the face of rejection.
She claimed that the Nigerian Embassy had turned down her request for a visa to the US.
Oluwakemi claimed that she prayed and was certain that she would be granted the visa; but, despite her optimism, she was not.
She claimed that the denial caused her to experience an emotional breakdown and enter a depressive state, which forced her to resign from her job because she was unable to function at work while feeling miserable.
However, Oluwakemi claimed that with the help of her family and friends, she persisted, believing in a miracle from God, and overcame depression.
