A heartwarming moment has gone viral after businessman Stephen Ozioko recently rewarded five of his apprentices, known as "nwa boys," who had served him faithfully for six years.
The settlement, which reflects the enduring Igbo apprenticeship tradition, saw Ozioko reward each apprentice generously as they transitioned into independent business owners.
According to details shared online, the settlements were as follows:
1st apprentice: ₦20 million
2nd apprentice: ₦20 million
3rd apprentice: ₦21 million
4th apprentice: ₦22 million
5th apprentice: ₦23 million
The gesture has been widely praised as a powerful example of mentorship, loyalty, and wealth creation through structured apprenticeship, a system that has helped many young people rise from modest beginnings to financial independence.
