Read few comments from her followers below:

“Is it still shocking people that I didn’t go to university?”

“Huh? And you are so articulated and intelligent, abeg let me tell my mom, I don’t need to go to university, I already know English”

“Majority of the kardashians/Jenners didn’t go to university but their affluence today is one to reckon with”

“I wasn’t shocked though bcos I have always known that degree is just the certified documentation of the skill/talent that resides in a person”

“It is not the degree a person has that makes them succeed in life, but the skill they possess. We saw it with the talented Bisola Aiyeola”

“I think because in Nigeria it is the expected pathway. Very few people who didn’t do tertiary education in Nigeria are in that position out of choice”

“That’s where the surprise comes in, because it is expected.
You grew up in a country lack of tertiary education isn’t a ‘stigma'”

“Stigma is in quotes because in reality it is not a stigma but in Nigeria lack of tertiary education can be very limiting & tertiary education is very time sensitive.”

“In ‘the’ abroad you can go back to school in your 40’s after living life: raising kids, working etc”

“It’s now I’m hearing. Yet ur English is fluent morethan some of us with masterssarhhh this life no balance”

“Lolzzz… People are shaa funny . What has going to the university got to do with being eloquent,smart and speaking good English .. Especial for one who is not a Nigerian born and brought up .

Secondly certificate doesn’t determine someone’s success.”

“Lol! What’s university education when you have Vee’s kind of intelligence and confidence? Sis, you will give a lot of university graduates a run for their money. No cap!”
