After suffering over 16 rejections from different universities in the UK, USA and Canada where he had applied for his Masters studies, Obi proceeded with “great determination to Cyprus to Study.
“This was due to personal issues and strangely struggles against words spoken to me by a prophet that I won’t do well academically if ever I chose that path.” Ifeanyi recalled.
Ifeanyi only did not graduate with High Honours(3.8) for his Masters Studies, but was offered a place for PhD in the same university.
