Veteran Nollywood Actress Ireti Doyle speaks on how Adesua Etomi-Wellington, saved her (Doyle’s) daughter, Jemiyo, from bullies.
In a lengthy Instagram post on Thursday, Ireti noted that her daughter, who had just turned 18, was once an object of bullying in her school.
Ireti noted that her daughter had just transferred to a new school and not shortly after her resumption, she bagged a position in the student’s council.
This angered some old students and they began bullying her.
Actress Adesua then decided to go to the school to pick up Ireti’s daughter to put a check on the bullying. After picking her, she walked round the school with her hand on the girl’s shoulders, waving at other students.
The students were starstruck at seeing a celebrity at their school, holding the girl they’ve been bullying.
Since then, the bullying Ireti’s daughter suffered has stopped.
Ireti Doyle Said:
“*NOT SO RANDOM STORY
Sooo sisi kekere (can I still refer to her like that?) had just transfered to a new school having spent her entire academic career up to that point in one place.
It took a whole summer of convincing, but I finally caved in – do not underestimate @jemiyodoyle once she’s set her mind on a thing.
Anyways, she arrives, bright and bubbly eager to take on new territory and blossom, which she did. Within months of arriving she vied for and won a position on the students Council.
Apparently that’s not allowed. “You cannot just arrive here and begin to “shine” without “permission”.
Oh the bullying was aggressive! And most of the time, she would beg me not to step in, determined to make her own way.
Anyways Mrs. Wellington heard about the goings on and said “Auntie, I’m going to go pick Jem from school one day”… I said OK.
On said day, she asked me to sit in the car. It took longer than usual…
@adesuaetomi didn’t just “pick” her from schl…she took her time to stroll round the schl compound with her arm around Jemiyo, waving at the students who had become dumbstruck. The message was clear : “This is my Beloved, thou shall not touch”. Suffice to say the bullying died down significantly from that day – true star power.
Jem has kolobied many of my friends, who have poured into her…some for a season, for some, just a brush…you have no idea how powerful just one brush from the right person is in molding a young mind. It truly takes a village…the 3 people captured here represent mine.
To everyone who has ever touched Jems life positively…THANK YOU
I also want thank the multitude of my online village too, for your warm wishes and prayers…Omo a ye gbogbo wa, a o ni se ti, ni oruko Jesu!!!”.
