Popular content creator, Kuye Oghenevwede Adegoke, Egungun of Lagos, has sparked a debate on social media with his recent statement that educational background does not necessarily equate to success.
According to Egungun, an individual’s success is not solely dependent on their academic qualifications, but rather on their passion, hard work, and dedication to their craft.
Egungun, who has built a massive following online, shared his thoughts on the matter, citing examples of successful individuals who have achieved greatness without formal education.
He emphasized that while education can provide a foundation for knowledge and skills, it is not the only factor that determines a person’s success.
In his words; “School does not guarantee the success of man. I have a chef, Tayo who is educated. He read biology in school. He has two degrees. He is a nutritionist and a dietitian. He graduated with a second-class upper. I also have 5 staff. All my PAs also have degrees. My videographer too is a graduate.”
