However, there was a wrong word among the three inscribed on Ayomide's shirt. The inscriptions were meant to announce what the young man went through before his graduation.

The inscription reads:

"I came, I 'salt' and I conquered" instead of the popular "I came, I saw and I conquered."

Those who saw the video on TikTok quickly noticed the word that was out of place.

While it is not clear if the spelling error was deliberately made, the young graduate wore the shirt with the inscription with pride.

He held the shirt for people to see, while a background audio told of how happy he was to finally leave the university.
