Why I can’t go back to school – Daddy Showkey
Pioneer Nigerian dance hall reggae musician, Daddy Showkey has revealed that even though he would love to have a PhD, he can’t return to school.
The dreadlocks spotting artiste whose real name is John Asiemo, speaking to ThePoint said one of his greatest regrets is not earning university education.
He said: “When I see musicians who are graduates, I am proud of them. I like to have PhD too. Though my mother was a teacher, she still gave me the freedom to do what I wanted to do. But given another chance, I would like to take education seriously. I would have finished my secondary and university education before going into music.”
Daddy Showkey who revealed that he got his first televised music performing opportunity on NTA in 1988 alongside Daddy Fresh and Sexy Pretty said he can’t return to school because he now has many dependents.
“I have so many people depending on me at the moment,” he told ThePoint. “Helen Paul and I even talked about it recently and she encouraged me to go back to school. But the truth is that I feel my children will continue from where I stopped.”
Showkey said he would support his son who is also a budding musician to further in the path only if he goes to the university.
He said: “My son is a good musician too, but I told him that the only reason I would support and encourage him is if he goes to the university. There is nothing he would achieve in music that I have not done. If he goes to university, it means he would break my record. I know he would do well in music, but I want him to do the things I could not do. If I had known, I would have listened to my mother when she was shouting at me.”
