Nigerian content creator and businessman Ola of Lagos has opened up about being underestimated because of his educational background and where he started from.
During an interview, Ola of Lagos was asked whether he had ever felt looked down on because of his beginnings.
He acknowledged that it had happened, but said it did not particularly hurt him.
“Yes. It doesn’t really pain me but imagine people adding me to the Olodo Uprising list.”
Ola explained that some people judge him based on the fact that he did not attend school, leading them to perceive him as a “riffraff” despite the way he presents himself.
“Because I didn’t go to school, they think I’m a riffraff, despite how I package myself.”
Recall that the ‘Olodo’ uprising had trended when the music star, Ycee tagged Peller and his associates as eroding the primacy education should have among the youths.
