Fuji heavyweights — Wasiu Odetola (well known as Pasuma), and Akorede Babatunde Okunola (better known as Saheed Osupa) — are over the moon with joy as their children recently graduated from different schools in the United States.
Pasuma’s son, Jibola, made his family proud as he emerged as the best-graduating student from Harlan Community Academy High School, United States of America.
On Friday, he posted a picture of himself wearing his graduation gown and holding a plaque. He added the caption, “Valedictorian, mission accomplished. Graduation day. Glory be to God. Big graduate. Unto the next”.
In a previous post, he had written: “Finally moving on to the next step of success. I am thankful to God, my mum, dad, sister and everyone who helped me along the way. I have received over $400,000 in scholarship and got into over 20 schools. I am ranked number one in the school and I am the valedictorian with a 4.20-grade point average. I am committed to the University of Illinois Honours College. Unto the next, forever going up”.
In his valedictory speech, the secondary school graduate stated that he would be studying Human Biology at the University of Illinois, Chicago, in line with his dream of eventually becoming a paediatrician.
Reacting to his son’s achievement, Pasuma wrote on social media, “Congratulations to my son, Jibola Wasiu Junior, daddy’s boy. I am so proud of you. Well done, my boy”.
