A female graduate was received home and treated like royalty by excited village women upon her completion of university studies.
In a trending TikTok video, the women surrounded the car that took the female graduate home. They went and waited for her with wrappers spread out on the ground.
The women cheered her on as she arrived in a car, wearing her academic robe.
One of the women turned a bucket into a drum and struck it in jubilation.
Several women trailed her and packed the wrappers as she trod on them.
