Peter Bawuah, a Political Science graduate of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology has become a representation of what it means to move from grass to grace.
On his TikTok handle, Peter shared a video that shows how he was struggling in his village Techimantia and on the streets as a coconut seller before winning a scholarship to Canada.

"In fact, I contested for Graduate Student Representative, we were 4 and I was the only African. But these white people voted for me. In this position, only a few Africans have won it. I was once hopeless, I used to sleep outside. But God has changed my story," he said.

Businessman Obi Cubana offers job, scholarship to Lagos hawker
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Obi Cubana had offered a scholarship to the viral Lagos hawker.
The bottled water hawker had become an internet sensation after a video of him sharing his money to inmates in a correctional service vehicle in Ajah, Lagos went viral.
That singular act saw the young man receive financial donations running into thousands that his bank had to flag his student account.
And yet, fortune has not just smiled on him but offered a hug this time with Obi Cubana's offer.
