Talented on-air personality and comedienne Helen Paul has expressed heartfelt appreciation to her mum after she successfully defended her doctoral degree at the University of Lagos.
Following the convocation ceremony held Thursday at the University of Lagos auditorium, the comedienne took to Instagram to celebrate and praise her mother. She also revealed that she was conceived out of rape.
“I HELEN PAUL dedicate this to my mum, you gave birth to me out of rape, they told you I wouldn’t amount to anything,” begins the emotional post.
She continues: “I grew up hearing from family members; being called a ‘B-----d’ and each time I asked you, you said `Olorun lon wo omo were, Olorun ma wo e’, meaning God watches over the child of a mad person, he’d watch over you).
“Mummy I want you to know I love you, I might not buy you Benz now because I don’t have a `Pant’ yet but this certificate will amount to something great.
“They say fame is nothing but Grace is everything and I pray for grace in everything I do.
“I’m not a Cele member but Late Oshofa gave me the name and everything Late Oshofa said about Helen Paul is coming to pass.
“I dedicate this to every mother, may God make you strong enough to survive and enjoy the fruit of your labour.”
