Lady who OAP gave money for JAMB form to quit waitress job graduates with first class
A Nigerian lady identified simply as Feyi who was given money to buy JAMB and SSCE forms in order to quit her waitress job and further her education has graduated with a first class from the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA).
WuzupNigeria reports that the Sports Editor of Classic FM Lagos, Temisan Okomi, shared the inspiring story of Feyi on his Twitter page on Monday.
Okomi had narrated how he met Feyi, then a 17-year-old girl working as a waitress at his regular bar in GRA, Lagos, some years ago.
Worried by the Feyi’s choice of job as a teenage girl, the journalist said he understood that if he allowed her continue the job she would be exposed to all sorts of abuses and may end up miserable.
He asked Feyi why she took up a job as a waitress, “familiar tale of no money so she was waiting tables until she could save up to buy forms for SSCE & JAMB,” Okomi wrote.
He then volunteered to give her money for the forms and asked her to quit the job, she did. Several years after losing contacts, Feyi called Okomi on Monday to notify him she would be having her convocation ceremony on Friday.
Okomi attended the convocation at the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), on Friday, where Feyi bagged a first class degree in Physiology.
A fulfilled Okomi shared a photo of the lady on his Twitter page on Friday and captioned:
“Graduated from FUTA with 1st-Class honours & a degree in Physiology…ladies & gentlemen, I present to you, my friend (now) and light: Feyi. Bring 2020, Universe. I’m ready.”
See his tweet:
