"What a Life": Nigerian Man who Thought Big Companies Would Look for Him after School Becomes Fish Farmer

• A young Nigerian man has reminisced over the blatant lies he was told while he was still a University student
• According to him, he was assured that big companies would come looking for him after he graduated from the university
• However, years after graduating from school, the young man left his field of study to hustle as a fish farmer

A Nigerian man has narrated how he was deceived by his elders while schooling at a university.

According to him, his seniors told him to finish school so that big companies would come looking for him.

After graduating from school, he realised that it was a lie, so he decided to start up a small farm for himself.

A TikTok video showed him taking care of his fish ponds and subsequently selling fish to a market woman who visited the farm.

First-class graduate becomes farmer

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the story of Emmanuel Nworie breaks hearts as he had to turn to petty farming as a way to earn a living despite graduating with a first class in mathematics. It would have been better if he was into mechanized farming.

He graduated with a CGPA of 4.92/5.00 from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).

It should be noted that the 27-year-old brilliant graduate lost his dad to diabetes and hypertension when he was still in secondary school, a situation that made life very difficult for him.

As a way to survive, he became a mathematics teacher for a while at the secondary school he finished from. Despite getting the award of the Best Mathematics Olympiad teacher in Ebonyi state, his salary was just $33.33 (N12,705.40) per month.

With money from his teaching job, he was able to save some of his N185,000 annual salary and get further education at a polytechnic. With another job after his education, he was able to fund his university studies. At UNN, he won a gold medal in a mathematics contest in 2018. After his one-year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), his primary place of assignment retained him as a teacher with a N35,000 salary.
