Anything is possible, once you set your heart towards it and pay the required price for the prize:

Olaoluwa Oluwadara, 24, has bagged a Ph.D degree in Mathematics at the just concluded 2012/2013 session convocation ceremony at the University of Lagos. Olaoluwa, who bagged his first and second degrees in Mathematics and Physics in 2007 and 2008 respectively from the Universite de Bangui in Central African Republic, graduated with a Cummulative Gross Point Average (CGPA) of 5.0 [first degree].

Olaoluwa’s feat supersedes that of Olabisi Adeyemi, a 26-year-old female who bagged a Ph.D with a CGPA of 4.98 in 2012 and Opeyemi Shodipe, 25 of Babcock University.

Speaking during the convocation, the Vice Chancellor of UNILAG, Professor Rahmon Bello, appealed to the President, Goodluck Jonathan,  to urgently intervene in the resolution of the over 10-month strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics and the Academic Staff Union of Colleges of Education of Nigeria (ASUCEON).

He appealed to the Federal Government to consider the demands of the striking lecturers to ensure that students of the polytechnics and colleges of education resumed their academic works as failure to do so would be putting the lives of the leaders of tomorrow in jeopardy.

He said the call has become urgent, "in the interest of students and to stem the falling standard of education and the increasingly degenerating infrastructure facilities worsened by the insurgency of Boko Haram."
