The daughter of a former Nigerian governor has hailed her parents as she revealed how long it took her to be cool with her father. Grace Ladoja, a fast-rising media executive and daughter of a former Oyo State governor, Rashidi Ladoja, shared a cool picture of her dad holding her – while calling him her friend.

She shared the picture on her Instagram page with the words below;

Father & Daughter pt2 it took me 27 years to be cool with my Dad. I realised parents are only human, not perfect or God level. I tried to find a friend in him so that’s what we became.

Earlier this year, Grace was awarded a Member of the British Empire for her services to music. She is one of 452 recipients of the prestigious awards as part of the Queen’s new year’s honours list.
