He recently wrote about the diverse paths individuals can take after school, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he was born into a family where the kids go to school to work in a company once they graduate, but he was the only one who decided to take a different route.
Davido added that success came quick and for some, while others will just have to work their way up.
His words, “I relate a lot to this topic, life after school, because I’m living proof of the successful person after school. Let me share my experience, so I went into the entertainment world after school, but I do have friends, siblings, my father who has a company and also a school that students graduate from.
I did school for about five years because I had to take a break because of my music. People go to school for four, five, or six years, and some people study law, and after school life starts.
I have been blessed to have followed my dream. I come from a family where you go to school and after you go directly to work. Either you work for my dad or you work elsewhere; I was the one who went another route from my siblings.
I have seen how their lives change after school. For some, the success came quick and for others, they work for other people and work their way up.”
WOW.
