From Stage to Success: Nigerian Student's Resourceful Journey to Education

A young woman from Nigeria, Ella Effiom, recently shared a touching personal story on her social media. In a short video, she recounted her experience of dancing on stage to earn money for her school fees. "I just remember there was actually a time I danced on stage for money," she shared. This experience, she says, helped her pay for her second semester of year one. While not a unique story, Effiom's candidness and emotional vulnerability make it a compelling look into the resourcefulness of young people pursuing education. Her story serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many students and the lengths they go to achieve their dreams.
