A sacrificial mother with a heart of gold
@mlkadesanya1 said many years ago, his mother hawked boiled corn every day for about three weeks to be able to gather money for his undergraduate studies at the University of Lagos.
Describing the woman as a goddess, he stated that she exchanged 10 years of her life for the primary and secondary education of him and his brother.
Now, he is a graduate of Stanford School of Business, California, US. Though not financially buoyant to get her a car, he urged social media users to join him in celebrating the woman he dubbed Iya Wale.
Social media users reacted emotionally as they were full of praises for his selfless mum.
@AdaJEMM reacted:
"Happy birthday to your mother. May God satisfy her with sound health and mind to enjoy the fruits of her labour. God bless you and your brother too to continually take good care of her."
@Neyostar01 commented:
"Your mum made my first year in mayflower felt like home. She was like a mother to many of us in B5, and shielded us from some of the cruel realities of boarding house in our early age and made the transition shielded. She is a goddess to many of us.
