Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye housemate, Angel Smith has revealed why she dropped out from the University of Lagos.
Angel, who was a finalist in the season 6 edition of the reality TV show, said that she was only at the institution for two weeks before leaving due to a sexual assault encounter.
In an interview with Taymesan on Friday, May 20, she said a sexual encounter affected her stay in the prestigious tertiary institution.
In her words:
“I was in UNILAG for only two weeks. I struggled so much for those two weeks because when I got into UNILAG was my first sxxual assault experience.
“After that experience happened, I can remember just moving through it and pretending like it never happened.
“It affected my school life so much. I always blamed it on not knowing what to do in UNILAG when actually, I’ve always been fully aware of what I wanted to do.”
While noting that she had lived with her grandmother, and wanted to be a gynecologist, Angel said she had done away with the idea and began excelling in English to the point when she won multiple Spelling Bees and improved her writing ability.
In her words:
“I knew what I wanted to do but I didn’t just do that because I had experienced something so traumatic and I didn’t speak to anybody about it, especially not my granny because I had so much shame
Nobody knew I was out of school until my mum had asked and I was like, ‘let me finally be out with it’.
“When I told her that and she asked me why, I obviously did not tell her what happened. I just told her I didn’t think I was doing the right course.
“Then she enrolled me in a foundational programme in the UK, which I dropped out from too.”
Angel further added that she had quit school because at that point in her life she didn’t really what she had wanted.
