He shared, “I made a promise to my late father that I will go back to school no matter what time it takes me. This is because he passed away after I enrolled in SHS, and when I realized he was unwell, I gave him my word. He once expressed that, among his offspring, I was the most brilliant, so I resolved not to let him down when it came to academics.”
Amerado continued, “When my father was alive, he honored every promise he made to me, and it dawned on me that if spirits truly exist, I must also uphold my promise to him so he can find solace wherever he resides.”
The maven behind ‘Yeete Nsem’ also graciously shared additional motivations that fueled his return to the world of academia. Beyond his heartfelt commitment to his father’s memory, he underscored the quest for knowledge and the aspiration to foster a fervent following within the tertiary educational community.
He articulated, “The first motivation is the pursuit of knowledge, and the second is my desire to cultivate a dedicated fanbase within the tertiary environment.”
