Mr Godwin Adegor, the father of the 7-year-old girl that recently took Nigeria by storm through a viral video, has disclosed why he named her “Success”.
In a video that caught the attention of many, including Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta, little Success could be seen complaining bitterly about being sent home from school over her parent’s inability to pay her fees.
The video, according to Mr Adegor, has brought unexpected exposure and goodwill to the family, with many calling from far and wide to donate various sums.
According to him, Success, a Primary Three pupil of Okotie-Eboh Primary School, has also got two scholarships from a celebrity, Mr Jollof, and Chairman of Sapele Local Government, Chief Eugene Inoaghan.
Success’s family has also met with the Private Secretary to Governor Okowa, Mr Hilary Ibegbulem.

Reacting to the experience, Mr Adegor said he had always known that his daughter would achieve great things in life, hence his decision to name him success.
In a chat with The Punch, he said, “I knew she would be a great child. That was why I gave her the name Success. We received many favours on the day she was given birth to. Let me tell you a short story about Success. After our second child, my wife said she didn’t want to give birth to another child.
“When she was pregnant with Success, she decided to drink ‘Angle 90’ (a poisonous substance). She said she wanted to die. I convinced her that rather than kill yourself, have the baby so that you could sell it for N500,000. But she said she wouldn’t sell her baby.
“On the day Success was born, somebody that had owed me N100,000 paid the debt. Money was just coming from different areas. As we were receiving the goodwill, I told my wife that if we had terminated the pregnancy, would these favours have come to us? It was because of the goodwill that has always followed her that made me name her Success.
“She has been receiving blessings from every corner since she was born. There was a day a soldier who stopped the vehicle that was taking them (our children) to see their grandmother at Kwale, gave her the bread he had bought for his family. The soldier said he liked the way my daughter was talking. Anywhere she goes, she always receives favour. She has won a scholarship before. The scholarship was given to her by a governor’s aide.”
