From a young age, Masterkraft was very intelligent and wanted to become an Accountant.
Despite coming from a poor background, he studied very hard in school and always topped among the students at the school he attended, Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government School, Ajegunle, in the Common Entrance Examination and was granted a scholarship by the government.
Unfortunately, his ignorant and uneducated parents did not know what a scholarship meant; therefore, they turned down the opportunity. Masterkraft’s dream of becoming an accountant was shattered at that time, but the superstar continued to move forward.
