A Nigerian man identified as Bright Alozie has come on Twitter to thank God for how his life changed in over a decade.
Sharing two photos, the Nigerian man said that as a second-year undergraduate, he never had much to wear.
He wore a big frown in his throwback photo. Many years after, Bright said he is currently a university professor with a Range Rover jeep and plenty of clothes to choose from.
In the second photo, he could be seen posing at the back of his new vehicle with a fine suit on and a big smile.
The young man revealed that he hustled hard in school as he had to do so many odd jobs. He said he became the breadwinner of his family after losing his father and two sisters at a tender age.
