A Nigerian lady, Ifeyinwa Ezeudu, has shared a very inspiring story that has got many talking online after she shared her success story.
She said when she was 14 years old, a family member asked her what she would like to become, she replied “pharmacist and a medical doctor”.
The person discouraged her, saying such professions are not meant for the Nigerian girl child. Ifeyinwa said those words challenged her as she promised herself to achieve her dream no matter what.
After bagging a diploma in science laboratory technology, the Nigerian lady proceeded to study pharm*acy, a course she excelled at, graduating as one of the best students in her class.
Not satisfied with just a degree in pharm*acy, she went ahead with a strong determination to read medicine. In 2020, she became a medical doctor with many awards.
In a LinkedIn post on Sunday, October 11, Ifeyinwa said she triumphed over the limitation of that family friend’s words. She urged every girl child in the country to pursue their dreams, telling them they are achievable.
