I dropped out of Unilag after two weeks over sexual assault – Angel

2021 Big Brother Naija finalist, Angel Smith, says she dropped out of the University of Lagos after two weeks.

The reality tv star, in an interview with media personality Taymesan, said she dropped out because of sexual assault.

According to her, the sexual assault affected her school life making her to quit.

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 sexual assault experience.

“After that experience happened, I can remember just moving through it and pretending like it never happened.

“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.”

She added “I knew what I wanted to do but I didn’t just do that because I had experienced something so traumatic and I didn’t speak to anybody about it, especially not my granny because I had so much shame.

“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 obviously did not tell her what happened. I just told her I didn’t think I was doing the right course.

“Then she enrolled me in a foundational programme in the UK, which I 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.
