Every man has the right to chase his dreams and his mother understood this when she asked him what he wanted to do with his life going forward. Emeka realizing that education will only be a burden to the family opted to do business. He told her he rather start a small business in order to support the family from time to time rather than go to school and be relying on the family for fees.

It is said, “the only place where a man is truly king is his home, when he steps out in search of daily bread, he automatically becomes a commoner who begs, weeps, is insulted, and sometimes humiliated and humbled”. This was Emeka’s situation the minute he stepped out of his parent’s house in search of a greener pasture. He knelt down before lesser men and was demeaned by clients. All these he took in undignified but internally proud knowing that it is by his submission that bread is guaranteed for his family in the future. For him, submission was a matter of survival.
