Nigerian artist, Wizkid has expressed that he is no yet a successful man in spite of being worth N8 billion.
It is justifiable that achievement implies various things to various individuals yet being worth billions of naira qualifies as some degree of success, so when Wizkid expressed that he wouldn’t characterize himself as successful, it normally had individuals reexamining their attitude toward what achievement truly implies.
In a recent interview with Vanguard, the Starboy opened up about what perfect achievement is to him.
Despite the fact that he is one of the goliaths of Africa as far as music is concerned, Wizkid said he accepts that he would be nearer to success when he can engage African youngsters who have extraordinary potential.
“I wake up every morning wanting more. So, I don’t even feel like I have accomplished anything yet. I have not done anything at all. I have not built schools around Africa; which is one of my biggest dreams, to help kids. There are a whole lot of things happening around the world. There’s poverty around the world. I will definitely like to do more. I don’t think I am successful yet, to be frank.”
He also shared that his dream is to build schools and contribute to developing the mind of the African child.
When asked what success means to him, he said: “Success for me is not the amount of money you have. It is not the amount of property you have acquired. Success is about the number of lives you are able to touch while you’re succeeding in your career. Success is making sure that every African child out there has an opportunity to actually get ahead in life. Success, for me, is touching people’s lives.”
