He wrote on his Instagram page: "A prophet boldly declared that I will never achieve anything academically rather I should look into doing business. I did look into business but I also choose to pursue one thing I always loved- Teaching and Learning irrespective of what a prophet said."

Obi, who said he did not allow the prophecy to take his dreams and aspirations away, disclosed that he has pioneered a software that is endorsed in the United Kingdom and Europe.

He continued: "Yes, you have the power to alter any prophecy on your life. Let me not forget to tell you that I am the first Associate Professor in this field of a Nigerian descent and the youngest in Africa."
