Uchemba then decided to invite the young boy over to his house so he could get to know him better.

He said he found out he graduated from Secondary School with good grades and wanted to study Economics in the university but has no sponsor.

Demola decided to acquire carpentry skills since he could not go to school.

Williams Uchemba has now adopted Demola and has promised to make sure he studies his dream course in the university.

He also said he will mentor him with the knowledge and information that made him who and what he is today until Demola “becomes the man God destined him to be.”

According to his write up on his instagram page:

“Few days ago I went to a furniture store to make some furnitures for my ongoing projects and when they took me to the workshop, I saw this young man Demola who was one of the carpenters but as an apprentice. I asked him some questions and realized that he is a very smart young boy, so I invited him to my house to know more about him. He is 18 years of age, has finished secondary school (with good grades) and would love to study Economics in the University but can’t further his education because he doesn’t have a sponsor to put him through school. So today I decided to adopt Demola not only to sponsor him through school but to mentor him with the knowledge and other information that has made me who I am today, till be becomes the man God destined him to be. Say hello to my new son”
