A Nigerian lady, identified as Cynthia Chizoba Okoye, has fulfilled her dream of becoming a medical doctor after the death of her father.

According to her brother’s post on his Facebook page, Cynthia made a promise to become a doctor at the age of 13 to help prevent other families from losing their loved ones prematurely.

The FB user identified as Mark Okoye II, also shared photos his sister proudly displaying her certificates and showered encomium on their mother.

Mark Okoye II,

“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.”
