In his post, he expressed the immense pride and emotion he felt upon receiving his NYSC certificate.

He described how tears flowed down his face, not from sorrow, but from overwhelming joy and pride at having shattered a long-standing barrier in his family.

He wrote:

“Tears streamed down my face as I collected my NYSC certificate today. You might wonder why I was crying instead of celebrating, huh? I cried because I broke a jinx. I became the first graduate in my family (both immediate and extended).”
