According to him, his academic passion made his parents force him to study oil and gas at the Petroleum Training Institute Nigeria, where he had 12 A's and 1B on the entry level, and graduated with first-class and second-best in the department.
"Graduated the best student in my secondary school ; had 8 distinctions in WAEC.
"My parents saw the academic passion and forced me to study oil and gas (may be to help the family live a better life)."
David added that he had before now received a fully funded scholarship to the Lagos Business School, Pan-Atlantic University.
The first-class graduate said that he was determined to disappoint his father, who thought he had gone astray after deviating from oil and gas.

Young Nigerian man bags Harvard and Oxford universities scholarships
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a young Nigerian man had got Harvard and Oxford scholarships.
The Nigerian, in a series of tweets, revealed that the two prestigious institutions happened to be the only two schools he ever put in for graduate studies.
"These are the only two schools I have ever applied to for graduate studies and I got into both. They both did the right thing, I suspect, because this story is already written in the stars —this is merely the mortal manifestation of God’s ideal. I have no other explanation," he wrote.
On his parents' reactions to his academic feat, Destiny said it was a case of mixed feelings. He said they were excited and also pleasantly confused and this is due to their humble background.
