That’s how Nigerian parents behave, they feel you may not make it as a musician, Fela was sent to Uk to study medicine and he ended up studying music. Nigerian parents ain’t backing up their kids to do music. You need a stubborn heart to do music in a Nigerian home.
They are very very impressed maybe they don’t want that to get to Ur head and ironically told you to double up.. Some parents don’t wear their heart on sleeve.
Not only Nigerian parents even Ghanaian parents and generally African parents are are like that because they want the best for their children especially if they are Christians.
Wale, you can’t dress like a thug, with such a life style that you keep and the gang that you keep as friends and you expect a Nigerian parents not to be tough? I don’t Know about anybody oo… but I am glad that my parents gave us all tough hands,then we thought they were our enemies or too strict…now we know better …we sit back and laugh about it …Because we have all been raised well and we turn out well….That is what we are all imbimbing in our own kids…..
