A young Nigerian man has received a Hummer Jeep and N500,000 from his father as a reward for emerging best graduating student of Madonna University.
The graduate who recently went viral for how he was acknloweged by the institution, took to his TikTok handle @cee_jay__2, to share a video showing the moment his dad surprised him with the astonishing gifts.
The elderly man could be seen driving the vehicle to their family home so that he could blow his son’s mind. He also instructed his wife and other child to blindfold Cee Jay and lead him outside the house where the Hummer was parked.
After taking off the blindfold, the fresh graduate was overwhelmed with joy and started jumping up in celebration.
In addition to the car, the man handed his brilliant son a cheque of N500,000 for making him proud with his outstanding performance. The gift giving did not end there as his mother also gave him bundles of N1,000 notes.

A Nigerian lady who graduated with a first class in Engineering has revealed how she strived to be the best in her class after losing her parents in the first year.
Kinfeosioluwa Akin-Ibisagba emerged the Best Graduating Student of the Department of Civil Engineering, Covenant University in 2021 with a 4.92 CGPA.
She said her mother passed away first then her dad followed shortly and it pushed her into depression. However, the graduate said she overcame the grief and made sacrifices in order to have a stellar academic performance.
According to Kinfeosioluwa, there was a need to prove to her sponsors that their investment in her was not a wasted one.
In her words; I lost my mother and shortly after, my dad also followed. This was during the first semester of my first year at CU. Through the family drama, depression and silent tears at night, God promised to see me through. I had not even recovered from the loss of my mum when I lost my dad. It was tough for me because we were very close. I didn’t even know how my life would be after that. Even my other family members were worried that I wouldn’t be able to cope. But I had to be strong.
When one has a clear focus on a dream, one will make sure nothing comes between one and that dream. It was always my dream to get good grades and make my family proud. I knew that I couldn’t be like other students. I had to work extra hard. It isn’t every day you get to see someone who schools at Covenant University. So, I knew the sacrifices my sponsors made to get me into a private university and I had to pay them back with nothing less than good grades. I deprived myself of pleasure and a lot of other things other students would do to make sure I never derailed. Was it tough? Well, I would say it was. Was it worth it? Of course, it was, and I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything else.
My parents are dead. They are not here. But I know they are happy wherever they are, looking at how successful I have become in my education. I had other family members who were extremely happy for me when they saw the results. I saw pride in their eyes when they looked at me, and it made me shed tears of joy.
