This is truly touching! As expected
graduation from the university is usually an occasion for celebration.
It marks a successful rite of
passage for many Nigerians.
This
young man and his mother took it a step further as we can see. The
young man named Jibola posted a picture of himself on his graduation day
on Instagram.
The first graduation photo
He used the caption:
" 'Graduation is a time of completion,
of finishing, of an ending, however, it is also a time of celebration of
achievement and a beginning for the new graduate.' Graduation is not
the end; it's the beginning."
Then
he posted a picture of his mum celebrating with him as well-wishers
drenched them with sachets of water in the Nigerian style.
Mother joins son as people pour water on them
He used this caption:
"A mother is the truest friend we have,
when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the
place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens
around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts
and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to
return to our hearts.
"Thank you so much
mama for the unfailing and undying love you showed me on my day. we
turn up together like kilode, love you plenty.
"MY MAMA IS THE BEST MAMA IN THE WHOLE WORLD WIDE WORLD."
Meanwhile, a Nigerian girl studying in the United Kingdom has given Nigerians reasons to be proud as she was honoured with multiple academic awards.
