Popular Nigerian rapper, Olamide
Adedeji, otherwise known as Badoo Sneh ,has said that he dropped out of school
but he was able to make it in life by discovering his talent through dint of
hard work.
According to him, he was
determined to succeed in life against all odds, given the stark reality that
his parents were poor, and were not able to pay his school fees at the higher
institution.
Olamide said these during the
weekend when he went as a special guest of honour at the Summer camp organised
by the Ogun State government at Akin Ogunpoola Model College, Akinale in
Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state.
He said: “I am from Ogun State here, I do not joke with my culture and language, in fact, I came from a poor background. I had to drop out of Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ijebu Ode, when it was getting difficult for my parents to pay my school fees.
“However with doggedness, perseverance and hard work I was able to find myself where I am today.
“I urge youths everywhere I go to always dare to be different and avoid unnecessary peer pressure.”
Earlier in his brief introduction
of the guest to the campers, the state Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun
advised the young boys and girls to be diligent, hardworking and be consistent
in whatever they do.
Amosun who was represented by the
State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Otunba Dayo Adeneye advised
them to strive for the best in their academic pursuit.
While he told the youngsters to
extend the knowledge gained at the camp to their kith and kins, the governor
promised that his administration remained committed to the development of
education.
