He once dropped out of a polytechnic in 2017 due to financial hardship… but today, he’s walking tall as a First Class Graduate and the Best in Sociology at Rivers State University! 🎓🔥
From dropout to distinction, meet Edward Franklyn Chidozie, who defied all odds to emerge as the Best Graduating Student in Sociology with a remarkable CGPA of 4.64. 👏
Life once pushed him down — he couldn’t continue at the polytechnic because of lack of funds, and he lost his mother along the way 💔. But Edward refused to stay down. In 2020, he sat for JAMB again, got admitted into RSU, and promised to make his late mum proud. ❤️
Balancing student politics (SUG) with demanding coursework, Edward showed that leadership and excellence can coexist. Many doubted him — yet he rose above every obstacle and finished as the first-ever First-Class Graduate from Omuma LGA of Rivers State. 🌟
His philosophy of growth came from the company he kept: ✅ Friends behind him — to remind him never to turn back.
✅ Friends beside him — to keep him grounded.
✅ Friends ahead of him — to keep him striving forward.
👉 Edward’s story proves that failure is not final. Your struggle can become your strength, your pain can shape your purpose, and your focus can rewrite your destiny.
To every student out there: your background doesn’t determine your future — your determination does. 💪
Congratulations, Edward! 👏 Your journey inspires thousands.
