Nelson also stressed the need to climb on to the educational ladder, regardless of career path.

“I was at Central University. And it wasn’t easy mixing sets with classes. I had to make up my mind. It was tough.

“Nigerian producers were giving me juicy offers and I was torn between accepting the offers or not.
