He explained that, from the outside, leaving a prestigious campus like OAU looked completely reckless to observers, but the career progression he secured justified the gamble.

He listed his achievements and milestones as seen below:

1. He had landed a senior role at Stears
2. He had worked with dream brands,
3. He had won national awards,
4. He had travelled to 10+ countries,
5. He had written a book and industry reports and,
6. He co-founded two organisations.

After achieving all these, he decided to return to school and also bagged a first-class degree in Business Management from Miva Open University.

He said:

"I dropped out of OAU Law in 2022 after I landed a senior role at Stears.

It was a risky bet. From the outside, it probably looked reckless.

But between then and now, I’ve worked with dream brands, won national awards, travelled to 10+ countries, written a book and industry reports, co-founded two organisations and built a life I once only prayed for.

And somehow, through all of it, I returned to school and graduated with First Class Honours in Business Management."
