The young lady posted a video of the touching moment on her TikTok business page, Wilma’s Perfumes, leaving social media users in awe.
In the clip, Wilma, wearing her graduation gown and sleek black heels, ran towards her uncle, who was seemingly waiting for a hug.
Instead of a warm embrace, she knelt and lay flat on the ground with her head touching the tip of his shoes.
Why did the graduate lie at the feet of her uncle?
For the young lady, this was a sign of respect and appreciation for the sacrifices he made to ensure she could finish her studies without struggling.
She explained that her uncle had been her pillar of strength and support, always pushing her to keep going no matter how hard the journey became.
“My uncle has always made me keep pushing forward. His advice always touches my heart. He’s been like a father to me for the longest time, and I’ll forever cherish him for that. I love my uncle so much, guys. This man is a whole vibe and an inspiration to me,” she captioned the clip.
She was awarded a degree in bachelor of mathematics and statistics.

May God grant you long life to reap the fruits of your labour. Thank you for being my rock and strength. I love you to the moon and back. Please keep being strong and healthy for me.
