I Want To Expand Babcock University’s Music Department – Davido

Davido

Popular singer Davido has paid a visit to his Alma mater, Babcock University. The award-winning artist recently visited the school where he studied music and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music in 2015.

Revealing that he is always proud to say he was a Babcock student, Davido disclosed that balancing education and his fast-rising music career was very difficult at the time.

He concluded by pledging to support the university’s music department with a standalone building and modern equipment to help train students in music and creativity.

His words, “Aside from my wife, whom I met at the university, I’ll say discipline is another thing.

I already did two years in the States in Oakwood, so I was here for about two and a half years and I lived in the house of the VC and after that, I actually dropped music, so I blew up so much that I couldn’t stay in school fully because of fans and stuff like that, but with the help of Prof and my auntie that pushed me I was able to finish.

Sometimes, I’ll be like, auntie, I’m leaving, I’m leaving, I’m going but she will say David, be patient and just finish, and I ended up finishing, and like I said before It’s been a bragging rights for me among my colleagues, I am always quick to tell them that I went to school, I will say I went to school, It is something I’m happy, that I ended up doing.

The music department is what I want to expand .. I feel like it should be a standalone building.

I just personally built an office in Lagos, it’s a high-class, standard music studio, so we are ready to donate and give back to the school and make sure we have proper, standard equipment because music is oil right now in Nigeria.

Creativity right now is oil, I’m ready to back that, I need it. So, for the university, one of the things I want to do is for the music department. I want to have my own building, and VC and I will talk and hopefully get that done before the year runs out.

I will definitely say that education is not a scam, I’ll say no. I’ll say no. But actually, there are people who didn’t go to school that made it, you know, but it would be wrong for anyone to say that education is a scam.

Nigerian youth must believe in themselves, work on their craft fully. I love my job. I feel like if I didn’t love my job, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I pushed myself to the furthest extent of anything that I do.

So, whatever you are doing, whether it’s music, whether it’s sports, whether it’s journalism, engineering, push yourself, love what you are doing and most importantly, love God too.”

WOW.
