It was reported days back that Lateef Adedimeji was set to be honored with a Doctor of Philosophy from International University, Estam University.
According to the University, the award is to celebrate him for his exceptional talent and tremendous achievement in the movie industry.
The award ceremony took place a day back and Lateef has shared clips from the priceless moment. He revealed that he was moved to tears as he was adorned with the beautiful robe.
According to him, he has never been interested in fame, he only wanted to be happy in his craft and the lives that he aspires to. He noted the irony of how he burned midnight candles to master his lines and perfect his expression, now he is getting rewarded with a Ph.D.
“I was moved to tears as I got adorned in this beautiful robe.
I have never been interested in fame, I just wanted to be happy with my craft and the lives that I inspire.
Ladies and gentlemen, today, I have a new title, one I couldn’t have imagined would come without me facing invigilators and keeping late nights to study…
The irony is really interesting. I burn midnight candles to master my lines and perfect my expressions, now I’m getting rewarded with what could have been if I did it for classroom reasons.
I humbly reintroduce myself, I AM DR. ABDULLATEEF ADEDIMEJI ADETOLA, Doctor of Philosophy in Art and Culture from Estam University, Benin”.
