50-year-old Nigerian woman goes back to junior high school to learn how to read and write, fulfills dream

A 50-year-old Nigerian woman named Sade Ajayi, is proving that age is no barrier to learning as she enrolls in junior secondary school to fulfill her lifelong dream of education.

Sade is currently a Junior Secondary School 2 (JSS2) student at Ilorin Grammar School, Kwara State, Nigeria. Until recently, she had never attended school.

Now, at age 50, she is determined to learn how to read and write to help improve her business. Already an entrepreneur who sews bags and purses, she believes education will give her an edge in trade and communication.

Shade studies alongside students nearly 40 years younger than her. She wears the same school uniform—a pink dress with a matching head covering—just like the other students.

“I’m not ashamed that I wear a uniform,” Shade said confidently. As a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, Shade never had the chance to attend school. Instead, she worked in her aunt’s shop, helping with sales.

Later, she built her own business, making and selling purses and bags. However, she struggled with reading and writing, which made running the business more challenging.

Determined to change her situation, Shade decided to enroll in school in 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools were shut down. Finally, in January 2021, when schools reopened, she got her long-awaited opportunity.

Now, she actively participates in class, sitting among students aged 11 to 13, raising her hand to answer questions, and engaging fully in school activities.

Shade’s teacher, Nasrat Busari, praised her dedication and confidence. “She has been coping well with them: playing together, talking together and discussing things together,” he said.

At first, Shade’s daughter, Shola Adeboye, admitted she felt embarrassed that her mother was attending school with 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren younger than her. However, over time, she grew to admire her mother’s determination and now supports her educational journey.

“She has always wanted to be educated but she couldn’t until now,” Adeboye said.

Despite attending school daily, Shade still runs her business by the side. During school hours, a helper manages her customers, and after school, she continues with her sewing and selling bags and purses.

She plans to complete at least four more years of education, believing it will enhance her business and open new opportunities. Shade also hopes to one day become a class teacher.

“People around me can read and write and they are succeeding in their businesses,” Shade explained.

Despite the criticism and discouragement, Shade remains focused and undeterred. “It’s my duty not to pay attention to what they’re saying,” she said.

人気グループEXILEのボーカル、ATSUSHIさんが体調不良を理由に活動休止を発表しました。所属事務所の発表によると、ATSUSHIさんは3月中旬に体調に不調を感じ、その後の検査で一酸化炭素中毒の疑いがあることが判明したとのことです。この知らせを受け、ファンや関係者の間では自殺未遂の噂も浮上していますが、真相は異なるようです。   ATSUSHIさんは2001年にEXILEのメンバーとしてデビュー以来、多くの名曲を世に送り出し、ソロ活動にも力を入れてきました。しかし、今年4月の活動休止発表により、予定されていた公演は延期または中止となりました。事務所は、体調不良の原因が一酸化炭素である可能性があると説明しています。   一酸化炭素は無色無臭で非常に危険な物質であり、吸い込むことで急激に症状が現れることがあります。特に屋内での事故が多く、過去5年間で40人以上が救急搬送されています。ATSUSHIさんの体調不良は、仕事関係者との会食後に発生した疑いがあり、その際の換気不足が影響した可能性が高いと考えられています。   医師によると、一酸化炭素中毒の症状は数日から数週間後に現れることがあり、これを揮発性脳症と呼びます。ATSUSHIさんも現在、治療に専念しており、徐々に回復に向かっているとのことです。事務所は、ライブパフォーマンスができるまでには至っていないが、治療の必要があると判断したとしています。   ファンは彼の復帰を待ち望んでいますが、まずは健康を最優先にしてほしいと願っています。ATSUSHIさんの美しい歌声が再び響く日を心待ちにしています。
