Esther said that her father had denied her a college degree because she was a girl.

On Esther Nwankwo’s LinkedIn page, Esther shared her success story and stated that she had to pay for her own university degree because her father would not continue to support her after she graduated from high school.

Esther Nwankwo wrote: “According to him, his culture does not favor the education of female children, also because of economical limitations.”

Esther said that it was her drive to excel that prompted her to take on menial jobs as a means of paying for her education.

The first-class graduate admitted that she was pessimistic about her future, but she also said that her will to excel was what kept her going. She continued by saying that she was tenacious and prepared to make sacrifices for achievement.
