WHY MEKERERE UNIVERISTY REFUSED US?

SALAAMU CALAYKUM DHAMAN!


IT WAS ONE YEAR AN ABOVE WHEN I COME FROM SOMALILAND, WHERE I BORN AND BROUGHT UP, BEFORE I ARRIVED UGANDA I HAD A DREAM: TO JOIN MAKERERE UNIVERSITY AND TOOK MY MASTERS' INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND DIPLOMATIC STUDIES.


UNFORTUNATELY I WAS WAITING SINCE LAST YEAR TO ADMIT BUT EVERYTHING TURNS UPSIDE DOWN.


LAST MARCH I WENT POSTGRADUATE STUDIES DEPARTMENT TO COLLECT ADMISSION LETTERS, I GET IT AND FILLED AS REQUIRED.


WE WAITED AND WAITED UNTIL AUGUST THE TIME OF RELEASING ADMISSION LISTS, BEING FOLLOWING CLOSE EYES I RECEIVED SMS INFORMING THAT MAKERERE RELEASED PRIVATE ADMISSIONS.


I DELIGHTED AND RUSHED UNIVERISITY COMPOUND TO LOOK MY NAME, BUT NO WHERE TO SEE, I DISAPPOINTED SUDDENLY BECAUSE I KNEW THE LONG PROCESS  I AM FACING TO KNOW WHY MY NAME IS NOT ADMITTED.


I SAY DO NOT LOOK BACK, BE POSITIVE AND KEEP UPDATING,  I WENT AGAIN AND AGAIN NO GOOD SINGS YET, FINALLY I GOT A FRIEND, THIS BOY IS CALLED ABDIRASHID, HE HAS SAME CIRCUMSTANCES, HE IS ALSO LOOKING FOR WHY THEY DO NOT ADMITTED HIM.


NOW I REALISED THAT I AM NOT ALONE, I HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS  SOLVING SAME PROBLEM, YES HE IS FROM HARGIESA, ESPECIALLY UNIVERSTIY OF HARGIESA, HE HAS BACHELOR IN ECONOMICS, HE IS HERE TO PREPARE HIS MASTERS' ECONOMICS AND PLANNING (MEP).


NOW WE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT HOW WE FILED OUR APPLICATION FORMS, BUT IT IS THE DOCUMENTS WE HAVE,  HARGIESA UNIVERSITY HAS NOT ANY RELATIONSHIP WITH MAKERERE UNIVERSTIY BECAUSE THEY ADMITTED MOQDISHU UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.


FINALLY WE  ARE NOT DESPERATE WE STILL HAVE A HOPE, WE GO AND CHECK EVERY POSSIBLE TIME, OUR CASE BECOME VERY POPULAR, WE PRAY ALLAH TO FACILITATE AND REALISE OUR DREAMS.
