    “I just remember, I was inside class for four hours. I didn’t make any money. I will write, I will look, I will play, not making anything. God forbid. I am not doing that one again,” he said.

    “When I enter the school, I notice that everyone is old, I am the only young blood there,” he added.

    “So I need to go old. Maybe when I clock like 30, 40 years, I will now go to school. Please cancel everything. I am tired,” he said.

    The decision marks a reversal from his recent public celebration of securing admission into a law programme, where he had expressed excitement and responded to critics who mocked his educational background.

    “Everyone has been criticising me for not being educated, as if I’m the first person who didn’t attend university. Now, all of you should leave social media, because I’m in school.

    “I’m now studying law. You can see it, right? You can’t mess with me anymore. I know the law,” he added.

The push from Peller is amazing, that’s how you go for what you want, and above all, never shy away from rejections, it must come. Keep pushing for the Top.”
