A heartwarming story of resilience and generosity continues to inspire Nigerians as Ekuma Jeremiah Iziogo, popularly known as Jerry Luck, graduates as a lawyer in 2025. Jeremiah first captured the nation’s attention in 2022 when a brief, nine-second video went viral, showing him selflessly giving money to inmates in a correctional vehicle using his meager earnings as a roadside traffic hawker. The simple act of kindness not only touched the hearts of many Nigerians but also set the stage for a life-changing journey.
The viral moment opened doors to numerous opportunities, most notably when renowned businessman Obi Cubana extended a scholarship to Jeremiah, enabling him to pursue a law degree. The scholarship became a turning point in his life, providing him the resources and support needed to pursue his dream of becoming a lawyer. Over the years, Jeremiah combined determination, resilience, and hard work to transform his life from that of a humble hawker to a respected law graduate.
From hawker to law graduate
In 2025, Jeremiah proudly shared his graduation milestone on Instagram, posting photos that celebrated the culmination of a long, challenging journey. Reflecting on the journey, he wrote, “Today, a journey that started with little or no hope of crossing the finish line has come to an amazing end… A raw but naked hope of becoming a lawyer that I had. How the hope crashed and how I started again even in a bigger and better way through the invaluable support of the good people of Nigeria… It was five years of diverse experiences.” His words not only reflect his gratitude but also the perseverance required to achieve such an accomplishment.
A message of gratitude
Jeremiah extended heartfelt thanks to Obi Cubana and several others who supported him along the way, including @iam_hymans, @lush_eby, @winihyc, @rockyemmyphotography, Daddy Freeze, and “hundreds of others.” He emphasized the importance of their support, writing, “Thank you for making my dream a reality.
