Davido speaks on his journey to success after school
Talented Nigerian singer, David Adeleke aka Davido, has opened up about his journey to success after he finished school.
While speaking at the 2024 LAS annual summit, the “Skelewu” crooner focused on the variety of career options available to people after education.
Davido said because of his success in his musical career after he graduated from Babcock University, the issue of “life after school” struck a deep chord with him.
He said: “I relate a lot to this topic, life after school because I’m living proof of being a successful person after school. Let me share my experience, I went into the entertainment world after school, but I do have friends, siblings and my father who has a company, and also a school that students graduate from.”

The musician, who has won numerous awards, also revealed how his family supported and let him follow his own career after graduating from the university.
Davido added: “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.”
