Graduate turned farmer

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian man identified as Ekpono Chijioke Ugbala like many graduates in the country tried very hard to get a job after school.

When all efforts proved abortive, the university graduate resorted to farming and planted cucumbers. That singular effort paid off.

During his harvest, the man showed off the fresh produce he got from his farm, leaving many people amazed.
