A Poland-based Nigerian man, Ewa Ekuma, has revealed that he dropped out of school in JSS3 to work and make money in order to take care of his widowed mother. The father of four who disclosed this in a Facebook post on Thursday, advised young people from poor homes to forget about education and hustle instead. I was living with my auntie in Lagos since I was 11yrs old. I attended one of the best private schools in Lagos, Tender Touch primary and nursery school Festac. It had no secondary school then, he wrote. “I was in Jss3 at Festac College Lagos when I lost my dad back home in the village so I visited after a few months. My Mum just finished mourning and lost over 7kg weight. My elder brother had left to study abroad. “I looked into the eyes of my mum and said to myself: how can I leave this poor widow and go back to Lagos because of school? And it was a no no for me so I dropped education and hit the street with blood in my eyes to hustle for money. “To cut the story short. With the salary I placed my Mum she earns more than a banker monthly while I spend more than the salary of a professor just on weed monthly. Dont let education distract you. If you can read and write please hit the street if you dont have a rich parents.” The post Dont let education distract you – Nigerian man says as he narrates how he dropped out of school in JSS3 to hustle and take care of his widowed mother appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.Donât let education distract you – Nigerian man says as he narrates how he dropped out of school in JSS3 to hustle and take care of his widowed mother
