    As ministers what major achievements can they point to? Obanikoro used Military men to witch hunt opposition party at Ekiti and Osun, Same he did in Lagos at Ilubirin Housing estate. Where are the jobs created by the Labour minister? Maku is known to be a propaganda and lies. Wike seems to be the worst of all, as the supervising minister of education, Universities and Polytechnics went on strike and couldn’t reach a consensus, he was busy with his GDI and his ambition at the detriment of the Nigerian students.

      Life isnt all about winning. You win some and lose some. Getting to the point you are now is a great achievement, which i believe your parents are proud of, eventuell though they might not Show it, so as to bring out the best in you. Since you already knw you are intelligent, i think giving the exam another try would not be a Bad idea. And If you are a believer of Christ, pray strongly for Gods guidance.
