Nigerian businessman Obinna Iyiegbu, aka Obi Cubana, has celebrated Ekuma Jeremiah, who went viral in 2022, as he graduated from Ebonyi State University with a law degree.
Recall that Jeremiah went viral in 2022 after he was caught on camera giving money to the occupants of a Nigerian Correctional Service bus in the area of Ajah, Lagos State.
The hawker's action was applauded by many Nigerians.
Celebrating Jeremiah's feat, Obi Cubana recounted their meeting from 2022 when the hawker chose education over the offers placed before him.
Obi Cubana stressed that Jeremiah could have chosen to take the money and walk away to temporary comfort, but he was wise enough to choose education.
The businessman disclosed that the hawker dropped out of school and chose to continue when he had other choices.
"On January 19, 2022, when the offers were placed before you, you chose education! You made the best choice. Today, you are a 2025 law graduate! You could have chosen to take the money and walk away to temporary comfort and live for the moment, but you were wise to choose education! Today you have both education and the money, and more ahead! Congratulations Jerry, the world is yours! Thank you my brothers @daddyfreeze @iam_hymans for being part of this great sacrifice. The bigger job is ahead of us. Jerry MUST be successful! @jerryluck," Obi Cubana wrote.
