US Rapper Wale Explains Why He's Never Been To Nigeria Until Now by cbbigfan: 9:11pm On Nov 29, 2013 |
In a radio chat with Toolz on Beatfm yesterday, Wale said the reason he's never been to Nigeria until now was because his parents, who are both from Ondo state, were so poor they couldn't afford a bring him home. "I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in the projects. Getting a ticket to Nigeria on $20, 000 income yearly, to my family that wasn't really... you know...like I was a 15 year old with a decent job, I'm not going to save up to go to Nigeria. That wasn't what I was thinking when I was that age. And then I was in college and the money tight right then. And then I get this record deal when I dropped out of school, you're running around so much you don't even have time to see your own parents" MORE ON www.chrisbassey..com

where are the pictures of him and his parents throughout his years in dc, where are the pictures of his parents when they were in nigeria, which school did he drop out of [elementary or secondary?] , why did his parents stay in dc for 30 something years, etc etc. clearly he has not told the whole story. any evidence he is nigerian? his nl handlers are not pushing his script well. |

well, at least maybe he can reduce the rate at which people are rushing overseas to have kids who they imagine will get a "better life" by virtue of holding a foreign passport? |

Can someone tell the guy ( or i can assume he's a nler since he looks like one), he can just go register at a school in nigeria and get some kind of education. Since he's already there, he can shop around and find a higher institution and study something. When he's done, he should just get his courses transferred to the US and proceed from there. Since he said he dropped out of college in america due to lack of funds, its cheaper to study in nigeria and if ASUU strikes he can always use the opportunity to go do some jobs in the US and make money while waiting for them to resume. |

If he doesnt like the idea of studying in nigeria, he can also try ghana, south africa or any other african country where nigerians go to. Also, if he needs assistance with rehab things, he can get working on that also. |
