I congratulate and celebrate my dear wife, Alhaja Oluwakemi Nafisat Kareem with immense pride as you earn your Bachelor of Nursing degree from Charles Darwin University in Australia, a remarkable achievement that builds on the solid foundation of your previous degree from Nigeria.
I see this milestone as not just a certificate but more of a clear sign of your drive to reach higher, even after establishing yourself as a devoted mother and community figure in our home.
Your choice to pursue advanced studies abroad amidst the demands of family and your role as a spiritual guide to many shows a woman who sees knowledge as a truly deserving pursuit.
I thank God for blessing our family with your success, and I thank you for bringing this honour home to us all.
Your journey through this program has been a powerful display of resilience, commitment, and an unquenchable hunger for success, traits that have always defined you.
Balancing rigorous coursework with your duties as a wife, mother to our children, and mentor to young girls and boys in Nigeria and now Australia, you have shown that true determination finds a way to thrive in multiple worlds.
You never let the challenges of relocation, cultural adjustment, or time differences affect your responsibilities—whether leading prayers at local gatherings or supporting our family’s daily life.
This balance is what makes your accomplishment so inspiring; it proves that a woman can chase her ambitions without sacrificing the roles that matter most to her heart and community.
What stands out even more is the excellence you brought to every step, starting with passing the IELTS exam on your first attempt with no less than 7.5 in each of the four sections, and for everyone who knows, that’s a feat that demands focus and preparation beyond the ordinary.
Becoming a registered nurse immediately upon graduation is a direct result of that same certainty and hard work, opening doors to new ways you can serve others through healthcare.
These successes are a reminder that barriers like age or circumstance are no match for someone prepared to invest in themselves.
Young girls and boys looking on should see in you that nothing should hold them back from pursuing their best; your story is proof that dedication turns possibilities into realities.
I feel a deep sense of pride in this achievement, not only for what it adds to your own path but for the feathers it places on our family and the inspiration it offers to those around us.
As your husband, I have watched you find your path with grace, and it strengthens my own resolve in public service.
May Allah continue to bless you with health, wisdom, and opportunities to use this new qualification for good.
Happy graduation, my Love. Your light shines brighter this moment, and I am grateful to walk beside you.
To Mr. and Mrs. Olatunbosun and Grace Adeyemi.
On behalf of my family and me, I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation for your remarkable kindness and generosity.
Despite your busy schedules, you both made the time to attend the graduation and went further to host my entire family to a memorable dinner—spending over a thousand dollars just to make the day even more special.
Your consistent display of love, humility, and selflessness continues to inspire us deeply.
You have always been a genuine source of strength and encouragement to my family, doing good without ever expecting anything in return.
May the Almighty continue to bless you abundantly, grant you long life in good health, and prosper all that you lay your hands upon.
May your kindness return to you in multiple folds, and may your home continue to be filled with joy, peace, and divine favor.
