Happy New Year.
Hi guys, It seems like my own new year is just starting, because the first quarter of the year was not it for me at all. I will let you guys know why as time goes by.
Let’s just say lots of things has been happening but, all in all God has been so faithful.
Anyways how have you guys been, how was the first quarter of the year for you? Let me know in the comment session . Most of you have dragged me in the DM and I am actually very grateful for the dragging lol, because honestly I deserved it. Don’t worry I will really try my best to be consistent and I pray God will help me, because I have a lot to talk to you all about.
So in my last story, I stopped at where I had to write another IELTS exam which I did write and still failed lol, at this moment, British council would probably have been tired of me, but hey, I have been making them money too on the other hand, lol. I had L:8.5 .R:7 W. 6 S:7.5. It was a good result but I couldn’t use it because I needed at least a 6.5 in writing, I was so sad because that exam was not valid.
I was sad and heartbroken about it, a friend of mine had to even pay for the remark of the result because I needed just an extra 0.5 but unfortunately for me the score didn’t change. Omo, I have seen shege with IELTs and it really did make me sad and almost depressed, but never, the devil could only try, “na who give up fuck up”.
In the month of June again I wrote another one. This time I had my worst result ever. Worst in the sense that I had a 6 in listening of all task. I will credit my self and say I am actually very good at IELTS listening tasks, and for me to have this score was actually very disappointing and sad . I had L:6, R:7.5, W:6.5 S:7.

An occurrence happened on that day of the exam and I think that was what really affected me. So it rained heavily that day, and the hall we used had no sound proof so we all were actually struggling to hear. Most people in that center reported the exam to British council after the paper but nothing was done about it. My advice, please don’t do IELTS during raining season at the British council venue in Ikoyi, Lagos.
That incident really broke me because the results came out on the 24th of June a day after my birthday, that birthday was actually the worst birthday of my life because I was so scared that day and hoping I could celebrate better when the result comes out. Let’s just say I never did celebrate.
After that exam, I was done, and I made up my mind I was never writing the IELTS again, lol. Immediately I started searching for another Japa route. I applied to places in the USA because all my ielts results could work for the US since they didn’t really need a high score for their recruitment, I think a maximum of a band 6 was all that was required . The places included agencies and some hospitals that were doing direct recruitment. I got a job in USA and they were willing to sponsor me and train me for the NCLEX also but I declined because it was an hospital that was strictly Intensive care unit, don’t get me wrong I actually do love ICU but the fact that I will be stuck with doing only that for about 3yrs of the contract was going to drive me crazy, so I opted out.
I also got an agency to prepare me for the Nclex exam which I accepted and signed their contract initial Until something changed. The NMC Uk changed their requirements. I will gist you about that in my next story.
See you next time 🙃
Thank you guys for sticking with me so far even though I haven’t been consistent, I am in a better place now so I think I will be more consistent, so help me God. Thank you and see you all in my next story. Please don’t forget to clap, you can clap up to 50 times, comment, share and follow me here on medium.
With love,
Adeife❤️
