One of the notable housemates in the BBNaija ‘Shine Ya Eye’ reality TV show, Angel Smith, popularly known as Angel has revealed how she dropped out of two prestigious universities.

Angel took media personality, Taymesan down memory lane during an interview narrating how she dropped out of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) following a damning s*xual assault.

The reality TV star disclosed that she only spent two weeks in the institution and could not go further because the incident traumatised her.

She said: “I was in UNILAG for only two weeks. I struggled so much for those two weeks because when I got into UNILAG was my first s*xual assault experience.”

Angel said she tried so hard to move on with her life pretending like it never happened but after a while, she could no longer endure it.

She said, “It affected my school life so much. I always blamed it on not knowing what to do in UNILAG when actually, I’ve always been fully aware of what I wanted to do.

According to Angel, she moved from wanting to become a gynaecologist to being so good in English that she won several Spelling Bees and boosted her writing skills.

The 22-year-old who grew up with her grandmother narrated further that though she always knew what she wanted to do but did not just do it because she had experienced something so traumatic and did not speak to anybody about it

Especially not my granny because I had so much shame,” Angel said.

She added, “Nobody knew I was out of school until my mum had asked and I was like, ‘let me finally be out with it’.

“When I told her that and she asked me why I did not tell her what happened. I just told her I didn’t think I was doing the right course.”

Speaking about her second phase of varsity dropout, Angel said her mom after the University of Lagos incident, enrolled her in a foundational programme in the UK which she dropped out from too.

She said she dropped out because she didn’t know her direction or what she really wanted to do at that point in her life.
