Nigerian Lady Becomes A Medical Doctor Despite All Odds

Nigerian lady was celebrated by her family after she fulfilled her dream of becoming a doctor. Her family said she made that promise when their dad died prematurely and with the challenges she faced, she still made it.

I remember when dad died, you were 13 years old and you promised us that you’d study medicine to help prevent other families losing their loved ones prematurely.

Difficult times you experienced while writing your MCAT, getting into Tulane University Medical School and OF COURSE, surviving your residency program at John Hopkins University, they’ve all PAID off, darling. All through hard work, persistence, the never-say-die OKOYE attitude, and prayers!

Congratulations Dr. (Ms.) Cynthia Chizoba Okoye, you deserve all the accolades baby. Even greater accolades reserved for our Mother who did it ALL by herself from 1991 to date.
