Nigerian Man whose childhood dream was to be a Lawyer Ends Up As Tailor

A Nigerian man identified as Igwe Collins who had high hopes of studying law and being called a barrister while growing up has ended up becoming a tailor.

The young man had his dreams dashed by a life that did not move him towards achieving his aspirations.

His friend shared a video (below) online showing his secondary school graduation magazine, where he revealed that his ambition was to become a lawyer.

However, Collins eventually delved into the world of tailoring which is the current career path he has embraced.

In the clip, the tailor could be seen working on a cloth, while his friend compared his secondary school profile to the work he now does as a tailor.

Interestingly, he worked happily and even paused to bust some dance steps while his friend was filming him in a bid to show that life does not always work as one wishes.

Reacting to the clip, Collins, the tailor wrote: Am collin igwe the dreamed lawyer that is currently a Tailor….. 😂😂 (lawyer tailor). But am really enjoying my job… Check me out on my IG handle : @slim_fashion_show ❤️🙏

The video has generated tons of reactions. Below are some of them:
