“In 2020 I bought a brand new big camry spider car from a friend who just imported it to Nigeria. I sold it two weeks after it came. Just so we can fund our PhD. No one know about this not even my family member. I paid the biggest sacrifice to ensure that we saw this day.”

Speaking briefly with Legit.ng, he acknowledged that it was a fulfilling moment for him.

in his words:

"I feel very happy and fulfilled that I can achieve the highest academic milestone not just alone but with my wife. I am grateful to God for making it possible. Without him this won't have been possible."
