Meet A First Class Graduate Of Chemistry Turned Shoe Maker To Earn A Living.

Irony in life is when such life's occurrence that is strange and a clear opposit of what is known añd expected from life happens. The case of Mr. Onuh Augustine Chukwu is a grave irony, a very serious one for that.
There is actually no field that one cannot excel in, if he or she concentrates with consistent effort on it. So, a graduate of any discipline can work in a totally different field, except the field of science and technology, where highly specific knowledge is need to work in them. But for a first class graduate to take to any field, seperate from where he had a first class as his/her field of hustle, to make a living is outrageous. More so, is when he is starting as every other person without education could do. In which case, there must be something wrong somewhere. Though this gesture was simply to help a brother in need of help, get some help, it is however an absurd revelation. For it takes huge intelligence to make a first class in any field. And no school gives first class to a less intelligent fellows, as that will be a serious indictment on the school, which will usually work against them, in schools academic ratings. First class are sort after; and they are often courted by schools to go into academics, that will make them take up lecturing jobs in especially in the department they finished from. But what happened in the case of Augustine is not clear.

Mr. Onuh Augustine Chukwu, is a First Class graduate of Chemistry from the University of Abuja who now makes shoes for a living. A Twitter user, in a bid to help him get customers that will patronise him, in other to keep his income flow up, announced him to all Twitter users. He had posted, "Onuh Augustine Chukwu, is a First Class graduate of Chemistry from University of Abuja who now makes shoes for a living. If you wish to support or patronise him, here is his contact: 00000000000"

But what happened in the case of Augustine is not clear. 

Sadly, he operates from a make shift shop, like every other non-literate one would. For a first class brain, who decides to take the decision as Augustine has done, there should be some semblance of class in his place of operation, and mode of operation that will distinguished him from others. But this is lacking in Augustine's shop, from the picture shown.
