Popular on social media as Billionaire Jormor, the Media Communications graduate from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) took to her TikTok page, @j0rbaby, to celebrate earning a First Class Honours degree after years of intense academic pressure.
Reflecting on her journey, the graduate shared that she had to rewrite a particular course three separate times, a period she described as mentally exhausting yet formative.
In a heartfelt post, she wrote, “From stressing over rewriting trail papers to receiving a First Class Honours degree, it can only be God.”
She further explained that her success came from a blend of faith, discipline, and consistency, noting that the setbacks strengthened her resolve rather than weakened it.

Addressing the concerns, Billionaire Jormor clarified that her overall Cumulative Weighted Average (CWA) remained strong throughout her academic journey, and the repeated rewrite did not significantly affect her final standing.
She firmly dismissed insinuations questioning the integrity of her achievement, stating that many critics lacked full knowledge of her academic record. According to her, the assumptions were hurtful but did not diminish her joy.
