Orji Joseph worked as a bricklayer to see himself through University

Orji said that he survived working as a bricklayer when he was in 300 and 400 level.

A fresh graduate of the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture in Abia state has excitedly shared pictures of how he worked as a bricklayer to survive through University.

Orji Joseph, who graduated with second class honour in Mathematics was happy to share the pictures of himself carrying bricks with the caption that was apparently addressed to his friends saying,  “This is why I miss class and probably dozed in class”

 

Orji said that he survived working as a bricklayer when he was in 300 and 400 level.

He wrote:

I planned on sharing this photo @ the peak of my career… Nevertheless, I believe it’s out here today to encourage someone to keep trusting God.

Laugh small & celebrate with *Mouwa* This was how I survived 300l & 400l. This was one of the reasons I made a Good Chief Usher on campus. From this came the fund for writing & presenting my project. For the photocopies & all; from this came the fund  #To_my_Course_mates; this is why I missed classes & probably dozed in class(lol).

The socio-economic conditions of Nigeria propels a lot of undergraduates to do odd jobs to see themselves through university and polytechnic education. While students like Orji choose to assist artisans at their work places and get paid, some female students find solace in sex work.

 

A lot of undergraduate female students often blame poverty and economic condition of the country as the reason for their engagement in sex work on campus.
