Jeremiah, once a roadside vendor, captured hearts across Nigeria when he was filmed giving money to inmates inside a Nigerian Correctional Service vehicle in the Ajah area of Lagos.
The touching video quickly went viral, drawing widespread admiration and earning Jeremiah numerous accolades, including significant support from Obi Cubana.
Reflecting on their journey, Cubana shared that Jeremiah was granted financial aid and presented with several promising opportunities to help transform his life.
However, he turned them down to focus on completing his law degree at Ebonyi State University.
Sharing the update via Instagram on Monday, Cubana praised Jeremiah’s decision and determination.
“On January 19, 2022, when opportunities were placed before you, you chose education! You made the best choice. Today, you are a 2025 law graduate,” he wrote.
The socialite commended Jeremiah’s foresight, adding that while he could have opted for short-term comfort, his choice of education has now positioned him for greater opportunities.
From hawking goods in Lagos traffic to graduating as a lawyer, Jeremiah’s journey has become a symbol of resilience and the transformative power of education.
Obi Cubana concluded his post with a message of encouragement: “Congratulations Jerry, the world is yours!”
