Lady who attended her mother’s graduation years ago as child graduates, family members recreate old photo
In related news, Briefly News reported that a young Nigerian lady with the Twitter handle @sophiee_ib has gone online to share a throwback photo that brought back memories for her.
In the old photo, she was pictured among other kids as she posed with her mother on her convocation day. A new picture @sophiee_ob shared showed her mum attending hers as an adult.
The recent snap has her at the same height as the parent. The graduate thanked God for the journey she has had over the years.
