Interestingly, Daniel completed Klikor Senior High Technical (Klistec) in 2006 but didn't do well.

In 2010, he went back to what he knew best, fishing and hustling, and sought admission again in Three Town Secondary School (Threesec) where he completed in 2013, still failing to perform well.

"Shouldn't he give up? No! Not my friend Afro, as he's popularly called. He wrote Nov/Dec and after several attempts, he made it!" Elorm stated.
