university campus were uneventful. According to him, he was a bit
confused because he was not used to the prayer regime that he had to be

back for him.

He says he did not allow himself to be distracted by his friends or the opposite sex as he concentrated on his studies.
Listing some of the factors that helped
him to achieve that feat, he says, “First, I must acknowledge God’s
favour and his assistance. Second, I did not entertain any form of
distractions. I did not attend parties, and I did not have any
girlfriend or what you may refer to as a lover. I concentrated on my
studies.”
