Man quits business to pursue education
The man, known as @okaykaykurlynz, disclosed that instead of using the money to start his own business, he applied for admission to a Obafemi Awolowo University.
He noted that he had a burning desire to quit the business life, especially after facing challenges while serving his boss.
Fortunately, his decision to pursue higher education paid off, as he successfully gained admission and went on to become a finance professional.
He expressed no regrets about his choice, stating that it was a calculated risk that led to his current profession.
In his words:
"Did Nwa Boi, Got settled with cash, instead of building my own business and importing from China, I took the money and applied to OAU. Now a finance professional, and I don't regret it one bit. It was a risk, I wrote GCE & Jamb after yrs of Nwa Boi, passed both on 1st attempt.
"I won't lie, it is not like I had a vision that everything will turn out like Abraham when God told him to head for Canaan. It was just a deep rooted will that after the hassle of Nwa Boi (it was quite tough), I simply wanted nothing to do with business.
"Currently, I am a salary earner in the UK, on conversion earning between 60m to 100m annually. If I had been a business man, I would probably also be a multi millionaire with shops and warehouses as I left nwaboi in 2009. But then again you never know, my container can fall in high seas and that would be the end and starting all over. But I am happy at where I am today, I have no regrets."

Reactions as man shares his success journey
Nigerians stormed the comments section to react to the post.
Sympa said:
"Honestly, I have a lot of questions for you, Nna, but one that really doubles down on my curiosity is this: How do y’all come up with this sort of mindset that lets you easily discard a working status quo? Like, Is it a vision by way of the spirits, or just a faith unknown to defeat and bound to its fate? Isn't your fear also called 'afraid' or your fate already blinds your fear?"
Onyemaechi said:
"I did something similar only that I was not settled. I left. Came back to Enugu and worked in a hotel for 2 yrs. Saved every penny (thank God for tips). Wrote Jamb and got admitted into Unizik. Long story short, I got a full ride scholarship for my PhD in the US last year."
Samuel C added:
"Sometimes the road less traveled isn’t less traveled because it’s wrong, it’s just waiting for someone bold enough to prove it works. Respect to you for taking that route and winning."
