A Nigerian man, Adamu Dauda Garba, progressed from being a cattle rearer in his village to being a lecturer later in life.
In an interview with Daily Trust, he said his father put him in school when he was nine because education to them was a must.
During his childhood days, Adamu said he always trekked far distances to school. And at evening, he would tend to the cows.
He said:
“Even after my secondary school, l was leading the herds of cattle of my father and l enjoyed doing that because it is culture and at the same a venture that sustains the family economically."
