YOU MUST GET A DEGREE! DAVIDO’S FATHER INSISTS

Education is the best legacy they say, thus, every parent strives to ensure that their child gets education at all cost, so is Nigerian billionaire businessman Deji Adeleke who seems hell bent on seeing one of his sons David ‘Davido’ Adeleke getting a university degree. 

The last two years have been a handful for Davido as he did not only make a very successful debut in the Nigerian music scene but accelerated to the A-list spot. 

He’s released a debut album with chart topping singles, won international awards and his music is highly rated home and abroad.

Despite these achievements, Davido’s father insists that his beloved son gets a university education.

And to make that happen, he has reportedly built an entire department at Babcock University (where he is currently a provost) for Creative Arts which will have Davido and his manager Kamal as the only students for now.

We’re told he has also dedicated a car which takes the boys to and from school as they work to combine academic commitments with showbiz.

Davido and Kamal (who had to go back to school because of Davido’s father’s insistence) are using the opportunity to bond, a source tells us.

It is also likely his celebrity cousins Bayo ‘B.Red’ and Sina ‘Sinarambo’ Adeleke will be joining them soon.

‘Davido’s dad believes a lot in his music and HKN. He thinks David can take it to the next level but he also feels education is compulsory foundation for his son’, a source to the family tells us.

We learn he has been helping to put up necessary structures that’ll ensure the boys don’t mess things up. For starters, Mr Adeleke insists on meeting with everyone working with his son.

And the young pop star has so far been co-operative.

Davido’s mother Vera, an academic, was until her death in 2003, a lecturer at Babcock University.
