A former student of Delta State University, Jeffery Benson, has sparked conversations online after revealing why he dropped out of law school to pursue forex trading full-time.

According to Benson, he made the decision after losing interest in the traditional education system and believing that it no longer aligned with his future goals.

Speaking during an interview shared on social media, Benson said he chose to “chase the forex bag” because he did not see a promising future for himself through schooling.

 “I attended Delta State University and dropped out of law school to chase the forex bag because I didn’t see any future in school,” he said.

The young forex trader also opened up about his personal relationships, stating that he does not keep emotional attachments after breakups.

 “I don’t have any ex-girlfriend. If we are done, I forget about you,” Benson added.

His comments have generated mixed reactions online, especially among young Nigerians divided over the value of higher education versus entrepreneurship and online business opportunities such as forex trading.

While some social media users praised his confidence and independence, others argued that education still remains important regardless of one’s career path

The statement also adds to the growing conversation around students abandoning formal education to pursue digital careers, content creation, cryptocurrency, forex trading, and other online ventures.

Mixed Reactions Trail Benson’s Comments

Many Nigerians on social media reacted differently to the viral remarks. Some users described his decision as bold, while others warned young people against dropping out of school without a solid backup plan.

Education experts have repeatedly advised students to carefully weigh the risks before leaving school, noting that success stories in online trading and entrepreneurship do not always reflect the challenges involved behind the scenes.

As discussions continue online, Benson’s comments highlight the changing mindset among some youths regarding education, career success, and financial independence in Nigeria.
