SINGER, Tobechukwu Victor Okoh, known as Peruzzi, has explained what prompted him to dump medicine despite being in his final year at medical school.
The 2018 Rookie of the Year nominee explained that he was mentally drained while studying Medicine and Surgery in Ukraine and decided to drop out without telling his father.
Speaking on the Zero Conditions Podcast, Peruzzi said: “I got tired for real, for real. I never felt like that in my life. I was done, like everything about me, in my head, I was done with medicine. And that was when I was about to start my final year, so it was a lot.
"I had written my first MD already at the time. It wasn't about how long I had left at the time; it was about me not wanting to do anything again. I didn't want to do it anymore.
“I really got tired; my entire being was tired, so I left on the first of January, and I didn't even have my passport; I had lost it. So I went to the embassy, and they gave me a travel letter because I needed to leave that urgently. When I got back, the only person I told was my mum.
"I was able to explain how bad I was feeling, and she said I should make sure to come back with my school result and everything from the first year to show that I was in school, so I did."
The 34-year-old studied at the Odesa National University in Ukraine until his fifth year before deciding to drop out and return to Nigeria to face music.
