Check out The story of Emmanuel Nworie which breaks hearts as he had to turn to petty farming as a way to eke out a living despite graduating with a first class in mathematics.

The Cable as you know has reports that it would have been better if he was into mechanized farming. He graduated with a CGPA of 4.92/5.00 from the University of Nigerian, Nsukka (UNN). 

The 27-year-old brilliant graduate lost his dad to diabetes and hypertension when he was still in secondary school, a situation that made life very difficult for him.

As a way to survive, he became a mathematics teacher for a while at the secondary school he finished from.

As you can see the young graduate is farming his way out of hunger and also earning from it.

He got an award of the Best Mathematics Olympiad teacher in Ebonyi state, his salary was just $33.33 (N12,705.40) per month. With savings from his teaching job, he was able to save some of his N185,000 annual salaries and get further education at a polytechnic. 

With another job after his education, he was able to fund his university studies. At UNN, he also won a gold medal in a mathematics contest in 2018.

In his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), his primary place of assignment retained him as a teacher with a N35,000 salary.

However, due to the shutdown of schools because of the coronavirus pandemic, he was then forced to go back to Ebonyi and make a living from planting of cassava.
