Being a devotee of Maharaj Ji has really helped me so far – UNIOSUN first class student.

SERVICE Premie Oriyomi Awesu, recently graduated from Osun State University where he bagged a First Class Degree in Accounting (Banking and Finance). He is a devotee of Satguru Maharaj Ji right from childhood.

In this interview with our reporter, he speaks on the challenges encountered during his school days as an undergraduate; his personality in school and other sundry issues. Excerpts:

 

Tell us about your educational background?

I attended Ojodu Primary School in Lagos after which I proceeded to Ojodu Secondary School and finished in 2004. After my secondary school education, I seek admission to Osun State University and gained admission in 2012 to study accounting. So four years the line, I ended up graduating this year from the Department of Accounting (Banking and Finance). I graduated with a First Class Degree. The convocation was held on April 6, 2017. I thank Maharaj Ji that everything went on fine.

You said you are a devotee of Maharaj Ji. Do your mates in school know this?

Yes of course! Even my lecturers are also aware of this because anywhere I go, I don’t hide my identity and they respect me for that.

How do you feel being a devotee of Maharaj Ji as a student?

I feel good because being a devotee of Maharaj Ji has really helped me so far because if not for Maharaj Ji, I wouldn’t have achieved this feat because back in the school, there were so many challenges but by Maharaj Ji’s  grace everything went on fine. All the courses that seems tough, I passed them all by Maharaj Ji’s grace and I came out in flying colours.

How did you become a devotee of Maharaj Ji?

Actually, I was born into One Love Family by my parents, so I grew up as a devotee of Satguru Maharaj Ji.

Is it that you were not a socialite while in school?

Well I am not really the social type but I was a public figure because I was the Class Rep from 100 Level through 400 Level. I was a public figure all through my stay in school but I don’t attend party. Definitely you will have female friends which is normal.

I only attended a dinner once and that was because of my status in the school. I was one of the king-makers in the academic setting because anybody that wants to come up as the SUG president, I am always involved and so because of my personality in school, I had to attend the party.

What type of personality were you?

As I said earlier, I was the Class Rep from 100 Level through 400 Level. I represented my department and the class in all aspect in the front of lecturers and even at times we were sent as representatives to the main  campus at Osogbo because we operate five campuses.

To be a First Class graduate of any University is not an easy task. How did you pass this hurdle of coming out with a First Class Degree?

The only thing I can say is that I was able to scale through the hurdle out of Maharaj Ji’s grace because it wasn’t easy. When I first gained admission into 100 Level I ended up with a C.G.P of 4.27 while in Second semester 100 Level I ended up with 4.5, so I started my First Class grade and journey from Second semester 100 Level. I even have a higher grade of 4.67 at 300 Level but along the line, some games played up like some of my courses that I suppose to score A I was being given B or C which I accept with faith but at the end of the day by Maharaj Ji’s grace I was able to come out with a First Class Degree.

How did you feel on the day of your convocation?

I felt great; I felt so happy and so special because it wasn’t easy and I can’t just stop thanking Maharaj Ji for that.

What’s your advice for other youths outside there who are looking up to this kind of feat ?

My advice is that they shouldn’t give up because to achieve something great is not always easy. The road is always  rough but they should keep on trying as an aphorism goes “joy will always end bitterness”. My fellow brothers outside there, I want to implore you that you should embrace Maharaj Ji because I would not have achieved this if not for Maharaj Ji.

I would advice them to keep using Maharaj Ji academically and they would excel .
