his-her children is education.
Every parent no matter the circumstances strives
hard to live up to that statement and so is Nigerian
billionaire businessman Deji Adeleke who seems
hell bent on seeing one of his sons David 'Davido'
Adeleke attending and graduating from University
like every other child.
The last two years have been a handful for Davido –
he didn't just make a very successful debut in the
Nigerian music scene but accelerated to the A-list
spot, something that has taken other A-listers
years to achieve. He's released a debut album with
chart topping singles, won international awards
and performed in and out of the country, what else
could he ask for?
Well, Davido isn't doing the asking, his father is;
more like demanding. sources say Mr Adeleke
wants his son to enrol in a University and graduate
with a degree.
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 bought a dedicated car
which take the boys to and from school as they
work to combine academic commitments with
show business.
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 'Sina rambo' 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 educationist herself was
until her death in 2003, a lecturer at Babcock
University.
