He emphasized that while education can provide a foundation for knowledge and skills, it is not the only factor that determines a person’s success.
“School does not guarantee the success of man. I have a chef, Tayo who is educated. He read biology in school. He has two degrees. He is a nutritionist and a dietitian. He graduated with a second-class upper. I also have 5 staff. All my PAs also have degrees. My videographer too is a graduate,” he said.

As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how his views will be received by the public and what impact they will have on the way people think about education and success.
