Ekuma Jeremiah Iziogo, a street trader who went viral for gifting prison inmates some of the money he had made, has bagged a degree in law.

 

 

 

Back in January 2022, a video showing the moment Jerry displayed the act of kindness towards the prisoners went viral with many applauding him. Jerry who at the time was selling water to commuters in traffic, was filmed sharing the proceeds from his sales with the prisoners who were in a van.

 

 

 

A photographer who shared the video on Instagram, said the incident happened in Ajah and the water seller gave out over 70% of the money he had on him.

 

 

 

Jerry’s act of kindness touch so many people who rallied round to support him financially.

 

 

 

This morning, he announced that he has bagged a degree in law and went on to thank many who supported him.

 

‘’Today, a journey that started with little or no hope of crossing the finish line has come to an amazing end. A raw but naked hope of becoming a lawyer that I had. How the hope crashed and how I started again even in a bigger and better way through the invaluable support of the good people of Nigeria. A journey not devoid of normal University ups and downs. Falling and getting up every now and then knowing that I can’t afford to disappoint the world. It was a five years of diverse experiences.

 

 

 

Today, by the grace of God, the final curtain has been drawn and I’m happy y’all walked this part with me. I can’t appreciate your candid supports enough. A true testament of your philanthropy and services to humanity.

 

Thank you for making my dream a reality. For keeping to to all your promises;
