A young Nigerian Lady, Solace Ojotule, whose mother was abandoned by their family after the death of her father has overcome the tough struggles she faced after bagging a Mastercard Scholarship to study in the United Kingdom.

Solace Ojutule who narrated her story on Linkedin recalled that her father died when she was at the age of 4 years and immediately after his death, the paternal family seized all her father’s properties because her mother bared no male child.

According to Ojotule’s narration, her mother bared 5 children including herself and all of them are females. “The girls were abandoned with their mother after all properties have been seized by paternal relations. Then the real struggle began for us as kids and for our mother who was now both the father and mother. All hopes went down the drain and it looked like there was no future for me. Life ended before it began in the real sense,” she wrote.

Her mother struggled to pay for their school fees throughout her primary school education. After her primary education, she recalled that she was unable to proceed to High School due to funding and would hawk when her colleagues are going to school.

“In 2006, I graduated from primary school and stayed at home for weeks while my mates proceeded to secondary school. My mother couldn’t afford secondary school registration fee. I would hawk caustic Soda early in the morning while seeing my mates in school uniform going to school. My mates would see me and ask why I wasn’t in school,” she said.
