Three Nigerian siblings, two ladies and a man who are now medical doctors have since gone viral with their photos all over the internet and their story fast becoming an encouragement to others.
In a TV show, Victor Oyen revealed how he and his sisters left all in Nigeria to go overseas with their parents who were saddened by the corruption in the country at the time.
According to him, “the private school in which my parents had applied for back in our home country of Nigeria unfortunately wanted bribes and additional things. Disheartened, my parents left all they knew and relocated us to Texas with old family friends of ours in hopes we wouldn’t be limited by those barriers they themselves encountered.
“My father and mother left their professional careers of being a pilot of over 19 years and a bank manager, respectively, only to begin afresh in the U.S. re-enrolling in college as freshmen and working odd jobs ultimately getting their SECOND bachelors and masters degrees all to sustain us all because they had higher aspirations for us.
“Though things are now better In Nigeria, this is more a testament of their will and sacrifice than it is about our achievements here. We hope we’ve made them proud and hope we can inspire others to do the same here and afar, not just in medicine but in sports, business, entertainment and wherever excellence might lie.”
