Student celebrates after graduation

In a related story, TheTalk.NG reported that a Nigerian lady graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti state

After her graduation, the lady took to social media to celebrate the achievement and to reminisce about her father.

The lady said her father died shortly after she started school and she was not told until after one month.

She said:

“Five days after my dad dropped me off at school, I lost him. His last words to me were, “See you soon,” but I never got to see him again. My family didn’t tell me for a month, and when I was finally called to White Rock (the administrative block of the school), the registrar broke the news. It felt like my world had shattered. I was angry, confused, and questioned God’s power, why he had let it happen knowing that I am at an important stage of my life.”

“My 100 Level was a mess. I stopped attending classes and it reflected on my result, mostly Ds. But by 200 Level, I found my strength again. I worked hard to raise my CGPA, trusting that God would help me through the pain. Though I couldn’t graduate with a first class due to the setback, I am incredibly grateful to have come out with a strong result. God gave me the strength to push through, and reminded me that it’s not how you start, but how you finish. Although my father’s last words were “See you soon,” I never saw him again; I know he would be proud of how far I’ve come.”
