He later enrolled for a diploma in Commercial Industrial Art and Design at Nkumba University. He would later return to the  same university for his Degree. Shortly before completing that degree, he abandoned Commercial Industrial Art to pursue a Bachelor degree in theology at Bugema University intending to go quench a life long quest to understand God, his denomination as well as pursue divine calling pastoring congregations. However while at Bugema the DVC academics at University would identity his abilities and keen interest in Biblical languages (Greek and Hebrew) forcing him to change his course from pastoring churches, opening him to a new path in academia. This is how he was linked to an African Students' Scholarship fund to pursue a  Master's degree at University of Wales Lampeter. His supervisor for the master's degree thesis would then press him to continue into a PhD only to be thwarted by finances.
