Funny thing is, Before They Graduate wasn't even planned. It started when Akorede, a 500-level student from the same department, saw a YouTube video Ayinde made with his father and dropped a comment. That comment became a conversation. That conversation became the first episode. No plan, no big idea, no proper setup just a mic, a borrowed camera, and a friend who said yes. This is the origin story of the series, in the creator's own words.

Sometimes, you see someone graduating with a first class, and the first thing that comes to mind is how brilliant they must be. But there's often more to the story.

Stories from undergraduate students across Nigeria will appear here as submissions are reviewed and approved. Any university. Any department. Any experience that deserves to be remembered.
