Popular singer Simisola Kosoko, commonly known as Simi, has asserted that her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mass Communication has not gone to waste, despite not using it in a traditional media firm. Simi graduated with a Mass Communication degree from Covenant University but chose to pursue her passion for music instead.
In a tweet, Simi proudly expressed that her academic qualification has been put to good use, evident in how she effectively communicates through her music and social media. She emphasized that her degree has not been wasted, as it has contributed to her success as an artist.
Simi’s sentiment echoes that of other Nigerian entertainers who have also ventured into the entertainment industry, leaving behind professions in law, medicine, engineering, and other fields to pursue their passions. The creative industry in Nigeria has witnessed the rise of talented individuals who have followed their hearts, regardless of their academic qualifications, and have excelled in their chosen artistic endeavors.
