A young man simply known as Deolu, has taken to social media to gush over his mother’s level of intelligence and her determination to achieve her set goals in life.
He revealed that she enrolled into a bachelors degree programma in her forties and graduated when she was 44 years old.
The son with Twitter username, @_deoluwaa said she was the oldest in her class and she graduated as the best in her class.
He shared the story in reaction to a tweet by @Zoyablooms which reads; “Y’all, please tell the class the times your mother has done things (not related to being a mother) that stood out to you.”
The young man said his mother secured a 4.5 CGPA to clinch the best graduating student award and also went ahead to do her masters which she finished when she was 51 years old.
“Started a Bsc program at 43/44 years (oldest in her class). Graduated top of her class (CGPA- 4.2/5 or so). Finished masters at 51,” Deolu wrote.

In other news, a young Nigerian lady was seen in a viral video shedding tears of sadness instead of tears of joy at her graduation.
She bagged a first class degree from Rivers state university, but she was sad because she felt she might end up like her brother who remains unemployed despite graduating with distinction as well.
Her sister known as Weleski, shared the touching story and video on her Instagram page as she called for urgent attention to be given to the issue of brilliant minds remaining unemployed due to bad system in Nigeria.
In the clip, the 20-year-old graduate could be seen crying in her graduation gown while her sister was comforting her, saying she need not cry.
Welesky revealed that their brother graduated with a first class last year and has been unable to get a job since then.
She wrote; Today is suppose to be a very happy day in my family but I am extremely heartbroken 💔. This is my younger sister, a 20 year old girl that have dedicated her entire life and worked soo hard by combining academics and being the back bone of my mother’s mini Resturant business just so we can survive.
I watch this young lady stay up almost all night to study just so she could make good grades like her immediate elder brother who also graduated with a first class Division from the Department of medical laboratory science. Today God has indeed answered our endless prayers and my girl has graduated with a First class Division and a CGPA of 4.80 from the Prestigious RIVERS STATE UNIVERSITY.
We had all vowed to make good grades so that We could free our parents from struggling and get retained by the university as lecturers, but today that dream cannot be seen coming forth 😞. Last year, my immediate younger brother who also graduated with a first class degree and was the Best graduating student from his department was promised by the Vice Chancellor of the university Professor Nlerum Sunday Okogbule under the encouragement and support of the Honourable Registrar of Medical laboratory science council of Nigeria (MLSCN) of an instant employment (lecturing job).
This promise and great news brought instant happiness and gave joy and fulfilment to my entire family, we were all happy and believed our dreams had finally come to pass but to our greatest surprise, he was denied the employment.
