can leave for 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. NET
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 '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 educationist
herself was until her death in 2003, a
lecturer at Babcock University.
