Actress Ibinabo Fiberesima has announced her graduation with distinction from Arden University, United Kingdom.

The former beauty queen shared the news on Facebook on Wednesday, expressing gratitude and pride in a poetic message.

“They’ll try to ground her, to tear away her ability to ascend. Yet, a woman driven by purpose transcends mere recognition and position, secure in the belief that divine timing always prevails,” she wrote.

“Like a tornado, she doesn’t just emerge; she violently tears through the quiet with power and passion.

“She reconstructs. She comes back. And when she rises, she doesn’t simply take flight—she soars with the force of a storm.

“She is Ibinabo Fiberesima. Congratulations to me as I graduate with Distinction from Arden University UK.”

On Thursday, she followed up with photos from the graduation ceremony, celebrating the moment with her family and friends.

“What an unforgettable day 😘 Surrounded by my incredible children and dearest friends, I officially graduated 📌 Feeling so much joy and gratitude for this milestone and everyone who helped me get here 🥂 Thank you for celebrating with me 🍾🎉,” she captioned the post.
