He said in an interview with Vanguard that he finally felt accomplished studying sociology as it satisfied his quest to understand why people behave the way they do. The sociology degree is the second bachelor’s degree Sanni will be earning.

He earned his first bachelors degree in Accounting at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria, a degree he said his uncle imposed on him. Sanni then proceeded to the University of Liverpool, London to earn a master’s degree in International Management.

Sanni said he had to write JAMB to be admitted to study sociology at the same time as his son who is currently studying Law at the same University of Ibadan. He mentioned that studying in the same class with colleagues who are the same age as his children was challenging but he remained determined.

“Studying in a class where you have those who are of the same age as your children can be very challenging, but I was magnanimous to accommodate what happened,” Sanni said.

”Some called me daddy, some called me Mr Sanni and some will even say, “He may be a daddy, but he is not my father. I experienced a lot of things, but as an old person, I was able to remain focused,” he added.
