Nollywood actress Regina Chukwu has been left emotional as her daughter graduates from Babcock University.
Taking to her Instagram page to share photos of herself with the graduate, Regina reflected on the journey from when she first drove her daughter and son to the school, to now seeing her daughter graduate.
Crediting this achievement to her Maker, Regina highlighted her journey as a single mother who, without any help or support, managed to put her kids through one of the most expensive private universities in the country. She expressed immense pride in her daughter, appreciating her for making her proud and blessing her journey ahead. Regina promised to continue being there for her daughter as she embarks on this new phase of her life.
My daughter graduates 🎓 today from the University of Babcock, and it’s such an emotional thing for me. Looking back on the very first day, I drove her and her younger brother into that university as a jambit, and today that she is graduating 🎓, all I can say is ITS BEEN GOD! 🙏 for a single mother to personally have 2 children in Babcock at the same time without a single help from anyone, and I am able to get to this level .. it’s indeed God at work. I am proud of you, @nwaforracheal_. I am happy you made me proud. I am a proud mother. I bless your journey from this day. Chiamaka, it is another phase of your life, and I promise you I’ll be there all the way (God willing). If you look back, mummy will be right there, supporting and cheering you on. Thank you for not allowing peer pressure to dictate your growth ✨️ thank you for always remembering the daughter of whom you are. ‘HER MOTHER’S DAUGHTER.’ YOU HAVE DONE WELL, MY ADA. Please help me drop a congratulatory message for @nwaforracheal_. I will really appreciate it.”
Regina Chukwu’s celebration is part of a larger trend of single mothers in Nollywood proudly sharing their children’s academic achievements. Last week, fellow actress Iyabo Ojo celebrated her son’s graduation from Altinbas University in Istanbul, Turkey. Iyabo praised her son’s hard work and dedication, using the opportunity to acknowledge the challenges of being a single parent.
Similarly, last year, Mercy Aigbe expressed pride in her daughter who earned her first degree from an international university. Biodun Okeowo also beamed with pride as she celebrated her daughter’s convocation from Mountain Top University, where her daughter graduated with a 2.1 GPA and was recognized as the most well-behaved student of her set.
