Activist Rinu holds a first-class double major in Public Health (Epidemiology and biostatistics)

It is a double celebration for Rinu Oduala as development comes today that she clocks 27 years old, making her one of the excited human beings on earth at the moment.

In a post Rinu wrote; “POV: They said you did not have a degree, so you got a first class double major.”

She added; “It’s not just my birthday. For the past five years, I’ve carried the weight of being mo ed and harassed for my role during #EndSARS. In the middle all that and losing my grandparents who raised me. many of you know I had to leave Nigeria, family, friends, and my ongoing education at Lagos State University.

The few who placed huge finances in the gap to give me the best education money could find. Who believed in a girl who felt lost. From Lagos to Accra. DC to Nairobi, London to Kampala, strangers became family. Guiding, directing, chiding, encouraging. Fed me. checked on me, lit light onto my path, I found new homes, and slowly, I learned how to live again. Friends who travelled across countries to raise me when I broke down, mothers who brought me into their fold, mentors who wrote recommendation letters, the late night calls to ensure I was okay, your love for me is not in vain. I would name them all if they wished, as they are a permanent part of this story.

It’s worth noting that I’ve lived in fht-or-flight for most of my life. I learned to be strong too early, to hold everything together, to stay alert even in calm moments. Everyday life always felt like a test: I was always bracing for impact. That was my normal. My body carried every unspoken fear, every night I couldn’t sleep, every feeling I couldn’t face.
