Mavins Records artiste, Korede Bello has admitted paying for his Higher National Diploma (HND) Distinction from the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ) through Hardwork, commitment and sacrifice (time and music). On Instagram, Korede gave an account on how he refused to let stardom stop him from finishing school. He wrote, “I initially didn’t want to post this for many reasons, but I was wrong on all counts. “I’d be doing millions of young people and my peers a disservice by not boldly putting it out there that impossibility is a myth; you can be Talented and Distinguished; Famous and Dignified; Celebrated and Educated, you can be a MEGA SUPER STAR with a MEGA SUPER VISION. For this I am grateful to God. “The main reason I endured to the finish line was because I needed to push myself and also to be a light for a lot of young Nigerians who think you cannot be an established Artiste and still achieve academic excellence. I endured because #MyPeople needed a role model.
