Many years down the line, Emmanuel appeared to be at a better place in life than his teacher.

Stemming from this history between the two, when Emmanuel met the teacher recently, he told him that his prediction of his life and future had not come to pass.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Emmanuel Aboagye was heard regurgitating the words of the teacher to him in a subtle attempt to mock him.

"I remember when we were in school, you said we were stubborn, so we wouldn't make it in life," he said.

However, the teacher, whose name is unidentified, denied ever authoring those words to Emmanuel and his friends.

"We have made it despite everything you said, we now drive our cars," Emmanuel retorted.
