Nollywood actor Muyiwa Ademola, is a year older today.

The talented actor turns 47 today and used the opportunity to share a bit about his personal life.

According to the actor, he grew up in the slums of Ibadan and did not gain admission into the university until 13-years after he graduated from the university.

In his words:

a superlative birthday shout out to me. I’m a definition of grace. I was born into a very humble family. My father never owned a motorcycle let alone car. My father never bought a TV not until after my secondary school. I grew up in one of the “slumest” slums in Ibadan. No electricity for several years,I had to make use of “kuufin” (local lamp) while reading for my SSCE (We had only one lantern which no one dare touch). I had my university education 13 years after my secondary school, yet I’m being celebrated in this manner. What else can I say than to keep appreciating my CREATOR? THANK YOU FATHER FOR ALLOWING ME WITNESS ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL YEAR.
