Korede Bello Explains How He Paid For His Distinction From Nigerian Institute of Journalism

Mavin act Korede Bello recently graduated, with distinction, from the Nigerian Institute of Journalism.

It was something of a wonder how, in spite of his life and career as a music act, with the demands and everything, he managed to graduate with a Distinction in Mass Communication (HND).

He has come out to explain in detail how he allegedly paid for his results. He took to Instagram to explain the circumstances surrounding his education.

He wrote:

“I initially didn’t want to post this for many reasons but I was wrong on all counts. I’d be doing millions of young people and my peers a disservice by not boldly putting it out there that impossibility is a myth; you can be Talented and Distinguished; Famous and Dignified; Celebrated and Educated; that you can be a MEGA SUPER STAR with a MEGA SUPER VISION.

For this, I am grateful to God.

The main reason I endured to the finish line was that I needed to push myself and also to be a light for a lot of young Nigerians who think you cannot be an established Artist and still achieve academic excellence. I endured because #MyPeople needed a role model.

A few days before I got signed I was still looking for tuition fees, so I understand the experience that some of you go through. But just as HE came through for me, HE’ll come through for you.

No, it wasn’t easy but it was worth it. I was graced and I’m grateful.

And no, I didn’t buy my result but I paid for it through hard work, commitment, and sacrifice (time and music). You can too. I believe in you, I believe in us #DistinguishedNigerianYouths
