A Lagos Island tailor, has been celebrated on social media after he graduated from Nottingham Trent University in the UK with a master’s degree in international fashion management.
His brother, Michael Adesanya, took to Linkedin to share the academic feat with pictures taken at his graduation ceremony.
Michael said that he didn’t clap or shout like others when his brother’s name was announced at the graduation ceremony on Friday, July 22 because he was lost in the memories of how rough their journey in life had been up to that moment.
He said Gbenga’s journey was rougher. Michael remarked that his brother remained focused on his big dreams despite his challenges.
Michael praised his brother for his resilience which has shown that roadblocks can be stepping stones.
“Baba Wale (their dad) must be ”buga-ing” in his grave for taking his name a notch higher in the fashion world. We are proud of you bro!,” Michael wrote.
Abimbola N. said, “Congratulations. And thank you for taking the rough path instead of the ‘easy’ road of crime.”
Dr Ngonidzashe Makwindi said, “Soaked in deep emotions and memories “you can say that again Brother. That is typical of many of us who come from disadvantaged and vulnerable families. Our parents sacrifice a lot of things for us to go to school but when we make it to the top, at times, they would have since passed on. This is exactly what I went through. It’s painful to say the least.
“Especially when you see others being accompanied by their parents at graduation thank you for sharing.”
Halimah Mustapha said, “Congratulations, we need many more of these stories…quite a number of us are from humble backgrounds but this doesn’t stop you from dreaming, working hard, staying focused and believing it can happen with God…I love this.”
Adewale ADENIYI said, “Congratulations. This is what I am talking about. Building a career around an area of strength. Lloyd will never struggle to get opportunities.”
