Popular stand-up comedian and actress, Helen Paul has taken to her Instagram to celebrate becoming a PhD holder, reminding us and those that care to listen that she is the first Nigerian stand-up comedian to have a PhD.
Helen Paul who a few days ago announced that she has just finished her PhD defence and about to be awarded a Doctorate degree, shared a photo of her sampling her graduation gown, which she will embellish on herself while attending her graduation ceremony. The ceremony will hold tomorrow at the University of Lagos.
