A Nigerian man, identified as @askcoachboy on X, has shared a heartfelt tribute to his sister, Awe Elizabeth Kehinde, following her induction into the nursing profession. The post has gained significant attention online.
Early Bond and Childhood Memories
The proud brother recalled their close bond since childhood, narrating how he used to carry her on his back using traditional wrappers, known as ìró and òjá àrán, similar to how grandmothers carry infants. He described her as a "sweet little girl" who has now grown into a professional nurse.
The Academic Challenge
He revealed that he once challenged Elizabeth to prove her academic brilliance by beating his own JAMB record. However, the challenge backfired as she surpassed him by a margin of 38 points. Despite her high score, she initially could not secure admission into her desired course, Nursing. Undeterred, she sat for the examination again and achieved an even higher score.
He wrote: "She went again and this time scored 303 in Jamb, top 3 in her post Jamb in UI Nursing and the rest they say is history. Today she's been inducted and will be taking oaths."
From 'Spoilt Brat' to Graduate
The brother jokingly described his sister as having been a "spoilt brat" because their mother had retired from the strict discipline used on the older brothers. However, he noted that her love for education was always evident. He expressed his joy at seeing her achieve this milestone, accompanied by a photo of Elizabeth looking professional in her medical scrubs.
Social Media Reactions
The post elicited various reactions from social media users. @IamDraycon said: "Congratulations to her, all the scolding's and corrections worked like a charm." @KehindePeace1 wrote: "Congrats to her and congratulations to you too for being a proud brother." @SoniaIjeoma8 reacted: "She is such a beautiful girl. Big congratulations to her."
This story highlights the power of sibling support and determination in achieving academic goals. Elizabeth's journey from a challenging start to becoming a nurse at the University of Ibadan serves as an inspiration to many young Nigerians.
