MY EDUCATION, MY HUSTLE.

In the world of today where everyone wants to be his/her own boss and venture into different things depending on their strengths, many have lost sight of the importance of school. Many just want to make quick money without the stress of school or having a certificate to fall back on.

This trend is common with musical artists. A lot of them kick off their music career and have a few hit songs, make some money and then drop out. I mean, a lot of them do this because a lot of the artists here (Nigeria) have done the same and are making a lot of money without getting a proper education.

David Adeleleke aka DAVIDO is a foremost Nigerian artist. Davido is one of the richest young Nigerian artist and also comes from a rich home. In 2015, he got his BSc in Music and Creative Arts from Babcock University with a second class upper. It is also rumoured that he wants to get a master’s degree. It is encouraging that even with all the money he has he still pursues getting proper education.

Chuza Declan aka Chuza, a 300 level History and International Relations student is a musical artist who is already gaining his grounds in the entertainment industry and has even been nominated for a Headies award. Chuza, who is also the head of the team called RED which means Reaching Every Dream. This groups organizes events and also contributes to the less privileged.

Chuza continues to be a role model, because amidst the fame and fortune coming to him, he ensures that he continues with his education. He says that he believes that he would rather be done with school first than drop out. He goes further to state that he may not go further with masters and all that but would definitely finish the first four years.

He says that nothing related to school has helped his career but then the whole idea of the schooling environment is you get to create a new fan base. He said that trying to manage both school and his music is hard but he knows he must finish with school in order for him to have a certificate to fall back on but at the same time nurture his musical career.

Here is a link to Chuza's latest video:
