A Nigerian woman, Itunu Grace Akinwande, has become a "celebrity" online after she announced on her LinkedIn page that she bagged PhD in mathematics from Universität Osnabrück in Germany.
A mother of two, Itunu said it was not an easy journey as she had to balance parenting with schooling.
She, however, added that the big support she got from everyone close to her made the whole task bearable. According to her, her supervisor was really helpful.
Itunu said at the time she thought she was at her tether’s end and could not move further, God’s strength showed up for her powerfully.
