    Enioluwa Adeoluwa celebrates mother’s doctorate degree

    Media personality Enioluwa Adeoluwa has penned an emotional tribute to his mother, Dr. Bola Adeoluwa, who recently earned her PhD.

    In a post on Instagram, Enioluwa lauded his mother as the “quiet force” behind his family’s success, often overshadowed by his father’s prominence as a professor but equally instrumental in shaping their values.

    Enioluwa highlighted his mother’s lesser-known contributions, noting her steadfast presence at debates, quizzes, and prize-giving days, instilling resilience, perseverance, and strength in her children.

    “When it comes to academics, everyone always talks about my dad, and rightly so, he’s a Professor.

    “But my mum? She’s not often remembered in that same light. It’s always been business for her. Yet what most people don’t know is that she’s always been the quiet force behind the scenes, the one who sat through our debates, cheered at every quiz, and showed up for every prize-giving day.

    “While she may not have been the one people associated with academics, she taught us something even more powerful: the everyday skills that shape a person; resilience, perseverance, and strength,” he wrote.

    He revealed her extraordinary academic path, which includes two first degrees, two master’s degrees, a postgraduate diploma, and now a PhD.

    At 45, he said she retook the WAEC exam to fulfill a mathematics requirement and pursued another degree to achieve her doctoral dream.

    “And today, she’s done it again. She becomes Dr. Bola Adeoluwa. Now standing tall with two first degrees, two master’s, a PGD, and a PhD.

    “What inspires me most is her journey, she went back to write WAEC again because she needed Mathematics, and at 45, she enrolled for another First Degree just to make her dream possible,” he added.

    Describing her as his “biggest inspiration,” Enioluwa celebrated Dr. Bola Adeoluwa as a mother, mentor, and trailblazer.

    “That’s resilience. That’s strength. That’s the unwavering backbone she’s always been, even in the quiet moments when no one was watching, she showed up for herself.

    “She’s my biggest inspiration. Join me in celebrating Dr. (Mrs.) B.M. Adeoluwa. An incredible mother, mentor, and trailblazer”, he concluded.

    Popular influencer Enioluwa Adeoluwa has expressed frustration over the recurring floods in Lagos, saying even living in a prime location has not spared him from being trapped indoors.

    He took to social media after heavy rainfall left his neighborhood submerged, lamenting that despite investing in a house in a prestigious area, flooding makes it difficult to move around.
