Shiquo Wa Hiistyles tells off people asking Majembe to go back to school

TikToker and businesswoman Shiquo Wa Hiistyles has weighed in on the ongoing debate surrounding boxer Protifas Odipo, strongly criticising calls for him to return to school following his recent rise to fame.

In a video shared on her TikTok page on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, Shiquo dismissed the notion that formal education is the only pathway to success, arguing that Majembe’s achievements in boxing already demonstrate a viable and rewarding career path.

She questioned those urging the young fighter to go back to class, challenging whether their own success was solely a product of schooling. According to her, education should primarily serve as a foundation for growth rather than a rigid determinant of one’s future.

“Some people are advising Majembe to go back to school. Majembe, why would you go back to school?” she said.

Shiquo further noted that Majembe has already attained a reasonable level of education, suggesting that reaching Form Three is sufficient in today’s world.

She argued that beyond that, much of what is taught in school does not necessarily translate into practical, real-life application.

“And those people telling him that, did you get rich because of school alone? And again, you have studied. If you went beyond Form Three in high school, then you are good,” she added.

Drawing from personal experience, the entrepreneur cited her own child as an example, revealing that she had been criticised over his handwriting.

However, she dismissed such concerns, stating that in the modern digital age, typing skills are far more relevant than traditional handwriting.

“Nowadays, we take our kids to school so they can grow up. Someone was even telling me that my child does not have good handwriting and does not know how to write. My son Jayden, they said, should work on his handwriting, and I asked them, where is he going to write manually? This boy of mine can type, so what need is handwriting?” she said.

She questioned the practicality of certain subjects taught in school, including complex mathematical concepts and geographical topics, arguing that many of them do not directly impact everyday life or career success.

“School beyond Class Three is confusing. I remember when we used to study things like the Nyika Plateau and statistics. What are those, and how do they relate to our current issues? Oh, and sin in maths, I am here doing maths now, and I don’t use those things,” she said.

Turning back to Majembe, Shiquo maintained that the boxer’s current success stems directly from his involvement in the sport, urging him not to be swayed by public pressure. She emphasised that his earnings and growing profile are a result of his dedication to boxing, not academics.

“So Majembe, the money you have comes from boxing, so what is the need to go back to school? As I said, school is just to help with growth,” she advised.

She ultimately advised the fighter to remain focused on his career and avoid being confused by external opinions, insisting that he should not feel obligated to return to school if he is already thriving in his chosen path.

“So Majembe, do not. Do not be confused and do not try to go back to school,” she added.
