By Damilola Akinwale –

Nollywood actress Kemi Ariyo, popularly known as Kemity, has celebrated her daughter, Oyindamola Adeshewa, after she bagged a master’s degree with distinction in Pharmaceutical Science from the University of Westminster, London.

The actress shared videos and pictures of the occasion in an emotional Instagram post on Monday, reflecting on the sacrifices she made as a single mother to raise and educate her two daughters in a bid to secure a better future for them.

Kemity attributed her daughter’s success to years of sacrifice, prayers and hard work. She recalled how people questioned her reluctance to acquire luxury possessions, but said she remained determined to invest in her daughter’s education and prioritise her future.

The actress recounted the difficult days when she felt exhausted moving from one location to another while working tirelessly. She said she converted her earnings into pounds and sometimes resorted to borrowing because she had nothing to give, describing the period as challenging.

Kemity also reflected on her journey as a single mother of two, saying she refused to give up despite uncertainties about the future because her daughters were looking up to her. She further revealed how her educational background motivated her to prioritise her daughters’ education.

“I remember telling myself, even if my own education stopped at OND, my daughters will continue from where I stopped. They will go further than I ever went!” she wrote.

Celebrating the achievement, she said she had invested in something more valuable than expensive cars and a mansion by securing her children’s education and future. “I may not have everything, but today I feel like the richest woman in the world!” she added.

The actress also encouraged single mothers facing financial challenges not to give up, saying their sacrifices would eventually be worthwhile.
