Nollywood actress and popular skit maker Ariyo Oluwakemisola Apesin, widely known as Kemity, has shared a heartwarming message celebrating her first daughter, Oyindamola Adeshewa, who recently graduated with a master's degree from the University of Westminster in London. The movie star revealed the immense personal and financial sacrifices behind the achievement, explaining that she chose to prioritize her children's education over luxury acquisitions like mansions and expensive cars.
Kemity took to Instagram on Monday, November 9, 2026, to share emotional video clips from the graduation ceremony. Oyindamola bagged her master's degree in Pharmaceutical Science, finishing with a distinction. Reflecting on the long journey, the actress opened up about the financial pressure of converting naira to pounds over the years and taking on loans to keep up with tuition payments. She admitted that there were countless days filled with exhaustion and secret tears when she didn't know how the next payment would be met, but giving up was never an option with her two daughters relying on her.
Addressing critics who questioned her financial choices, Kemity shared how people often asked why she wasn't spending her earnings on high-end automobiles or real estate. She revealed her standard response: she was building a house in London, and "that house is my daughter's future."
"I didn't build the biggest mansion," the proud mother wrote, emphasizing that she chose to invest in an asset that no one could ever strip away from her children—their education. Using her platform to uplift others, Kemity encouraged single mothers enduring financial hardship to remain steadfast and keep pushing for their children's future.
The celebration follows an emotional reunion between mother and daughter in London after spending a year apart, during which Kemity spoke candidly about the pain of distance and silent sacrifices. The milestone has drawn widespread praise from colleagues in the Nigerian film industry. Actress Mercy Aigbe congratulated the mother-daughter duo, commending Kemity for making her daughter proud, while actor Ibrahim Yekini warmly celebrated the new graduate.
