Nigerian’s most celebrated comedian Ayo Makun, narrated why it took him 9 years to finish his Bachelor Degree Program at Delsu-Delta State University.
According to the him, the death of his parents also contributed to the delay.
In an interview session with Gold Myne TV, here is what he said:
“In December 1999 when my dad passed on, it was difficult to take over his position as the first son. It became even more difficult when my mum decided to join him in no time.
Embracing the responsibilities of taking care of my 4 sisters and 2 baby brothers wasn’t the best message to preach to a waiting landlord whose rent must be paid in due time.
The combination of being a big brother and a father came with a price that kept me in Delta state University for 9 years as a student.
Apart from the non negotiable Christian upbringing from my parents, my dad always drilled me, and made me tough. He thought me how to be a strong independent young man and how to be a strong independent young man and how to carry my siblings along as a leader of purpose. It wasn’t an easy journey for me or any of my younger ones, as we all struggled together, but hope was like the sun which casts the shadows of our burden behind us”.
