This piece is not aimed at discrediting any of these
stars, neither is it aimed at encouraging people not to
acquire university education.
These stars haven’t acquired university degrees or
their equivalent. Some were at the university but had
to drop out due to reasons best known to them.
But their inability to successfully acquire a degree in
any discipline hasn’t prevented them from climbing to
the top of their chosen careers.
Most of them speak fluent English, even more than
some of their colleagues that are graduates, not to talk
of those that are half baked graduates that can’t
express themselves in simple but correct English.
With the way some of these stars carry themselves
and also comport themselves, you wouldn’t know that
they are not yet graduates without being told.
It’s necessary to point out that the value of higher
education cannot be over emphasised. Education is a
desideratum and these stars are aware of it too.
Interestingly, even though they have made it without
possessing higher degrees, they still appreciate the
value of education and still have the desire to go back
to school some day.
Talents may not be enough; so it’s still good to pursue
higher education while maximising one’s talent. For
the fact that it worked out for them even without
acquiring university degrees or its equivalent, doesn’t
mean it may work out for others. So higher education
is still a desideratum.
With the high rate of unemployment in the country,
talent becomes a tool for self empowerment for some
people after graduation.
Here are top entertainers that have been able to make
it even without university degrees or its equivalent.
