Miracle said she was single-handedly raised by her mum, Bose Ayangunna, as the family never heard from her dad after that disturbing letter he penned to her mother.
"Some 25 years ago, my father wrote a letter to my mum asking her to terminate my pregnancy and never to contact him again! That was the last time she heard anything from him," she wrote.
She showered encomiums on her mum for using her meager civil servant salary to sponsor her education.
"My mother, Mrs Bose Ayangunna, literally broke her back to single-handedly sponsor my education and provide me with the basic things of life. She would go through any length to make sure I got the things I needed.
"She would send me all of her meager civil servant- based salary to pay for one project or the other in school. I owe all of this to her! It was tough but with the help of the Almighty God, we pulled through."

Lady who emerged only female first-class graduate in her department says she was rejected 4 times
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lady who finished as the only female first-class student in her mathematics department had revealed that she was denied admission 4 times.
In a report obtained by Legit.ng, Olamide stated that she decided to settle for mathematics after she was denied medicine 4 times. According to her, she was good at it and this also fuelled her decision to stick to it.
"After 4 years of failed attempts to study medicine in the university, I decided to study Mathematics because I was good at it..."
The young lady said she lost her father a week to the university entrance examination and things became more difficult from that point.
