He shared the story of his tough  journey and all the challenges he succumbed before actualising his dream of being a qualified medical doctor.

He said:

“Before y’all start seeing videos and pictures of me in my graduation gown doing crazy stuffs ? I need to explain the depth of the happiness I feel being a Graduate after almost 10years of chasing medicine(while doing comedy by the side ofcourse) … only a few would understand my joy and how I express it …

‘”Having to write jamb so many times I even started retailing jamb scratch cards … having to accept a course u never wanted just to leave home so people wil stop asking ‘When you go start school’ … having to tell lies upon lies about why you are stil ahome … having to accept a course you know nothing about so you just get an admission and leave home from frustration …

“Having to finally get an admission to University of Ghana Legon for medicine (my choice?) and drop out a year later coz school fees was doubled or tripled, had to go back to square one looking for admission again and ‘affordable’ one this time … having to stand outside the Ukraine embassy Abuja for days, weeks and months eating only ‘lacasera and gala’ ? waiting for interview ?

“It was like judgement day at that embassy, some people go in for interview and come out smiling while some come out crying ?? it was like heaven and hell sentence ? and using my God given ‘Igbo man skills’ I was able to get the visa and come to Ukraine … having to balance school and entertainment which I was using to get small change for the road ???? Lost a Big Part of me on November 7th 2015 when my Dad passed away ??(may his soul rest in peace) … was out of school and off social media for a month coz the shock was unbearable …

“Having to Look out for myself and family was a responsibility I never planned for but I stood up to it … I just wanna say THANK YOU LORD … I Dedicate this to my Dad, I actually did it for you! I know u not with us anymore but you stil live in our hearts and I miss you so DAMN much dad! … And my first love momma, your undying love gave me the right push, i LUHH yuhh ???? to my family you guys are the best ?? my TaTa ❤️❤️ MY FRIENDS turned family ?? my Supporters all over the ?
The boy issa DOCTOR OF MEDICINE! Respek on d name! #DrCraze #DoctorOfMedicine #getmotivated”
