According to him, each unsuccessful application cost him ₦45,000 (approximately GHS 400) in fees, in addition to the time, effort and financial sacrifices he made throughout the process.
Nwosu recalled the challenges he encountered while pursuing opportunities overseas, including the withdrawal of a scholarship offer after he was denied a United States visa.
He also spoke about coping with limited resources, saying he once relied on a petrol station to charge his laptop while preparing his applications.
Despite the setbacks, he said he remained determined and decided to apply to study in Canada. His application was approved in 2022, allowing him to relocate and complete a two-year programme.
