Nigerian actress and skit maker Ariyo Oluwakemisola Apesin, popularly known as Kemity, is celebrating one of the proudest moments of her life after her daughter graduated with a Master's degree from the University of Westminster in London.

The video, posted on Monday, 9 November 2026, captures the graduation ceremony inside an auditorium, with faculty members in academic robes and a speaker at a lectern bearing the university's logo, as the room buzzed with a warm, celebratory atmosphere.

Kemity used the occasion to open up about the years of quiet sacrifice that made the milestone possible. She recalled how people questioned her financial decisions, wondering why she was not building mansions or driving luxury cars like her peers. Her answer, she said, was always the same: she was building something far more lasting.

Kemity: Years of struggle as single mother

The actress did not shy away from the painful details behind the achievement. She described converting naira to pounds, borrowing money during difficult periods, and working relentlessly across film locations to keep her daughters in school.

There were moments, she admitted, when she did not know where the next payment would come from.

"There were days I was tired. Days I cried secretly. Days I didn't know where the next money would come from," she wrote. "But giving up was never an option because two beautiful daughters were looking up to me."

Kemity, who noted that her own formal education stopped at OND, said her greatest ambition was always for her children to surpass whatever she had achieved academically. Watching her first daughter cross the graduation stage in London was the fulfilment of that promise to herself.

"I didn't build the biggest mansion. I didn't drive the most expensive cars. But I invested in something nobody can take away from my children," she added.
