Helen Paul recently made history by obtaining a doctorate in Theatre Arts from the University of Lagos. She is the first Nigerian standup comedienne to achieve this dream and is a glowing example of how hard work and sacrifice leads to great rewards. In a post on social media, Paul dedicated this achievement to her mother.
The 41-year-old comedienne was glad to have the support of her loving husband by her side when she achieved this great feat.
Most importantly, in a video post, Paul dedicated this new achievement to her mother and revealed how she was conceived.
She went on to add how she heard family members call her names, and each time her mother would say, “Olorun lon wo omo werey, Olorun ma wo e meaning, God watches the child of a mad person, he'd watch over you.”
Paul expressed her love for her mother and wrote: “Mummy i want to know i love you, i might not buy you Benz now because i don’t have a Pant yet but this certificate will amount to something great.”
“They say Fame is nothing but Grace is everything and i pray for grace in everything i do, ” she further added.
She concluded her heartfelt post by writing: “I dedicate this to every mother, may God make you strong enough to survive and enjoy the fruit of your labour...”
She added how he would let her stay at the hostel and visit her as if she were his girlfriend.
“I respect you deeply boss mei. Help celebrate the best husband, teacher, boss, father and mentor,” she further continued.
The actress has also received several awards, including the 2012 African Film Awards and 2012 Exquisite Lady of the Year Award.
Congratulations Paul on your achievement! You are truly an inspiration and have shown us that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
