Asa Asika, a well-known talent manager in Nigeria and the manager of the celebrity artist Davido, recently praised his personal development and accomplishment while emphasizing that he did so without a degree from a university.
The 32-year-old entrepreneur claimed in an interview with social media influencer Smart Money Arese that despite not having a degree, he is in charge of paying the salaries of over a hundred employees on a monthly basis.
Asa, who left school early, now oversees many management and entertainment businesses.
He underlined throughout the discussion that each person’s experience is different and that there is no set road to achievement.
He showed that, contrary to common opinion, educational background is not the only factor that determines success.
He stated:
“I have no regret as most of my close friends earn ‘peanuts’ despite being Ph.D. holders.”
He further added, “Without being condescending or trying to sound cocky, I have friends who have gone to school and have Ph.Ds now and they are working a 9 to 5 and making peanuts.”
