Education is not a scam but it isn’t the yardstick to success - Chinko Ekun

Popular rapper Chinko Ekun is making headlines after he spoke about the need for young people to look outside school education to earn a living.

The rapper, who is a graduate of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), said people could gain more exposure and evolve by staying up to date with evolving technology.

According to Chinko Ekun, education is not a scam, but there are other skills and talents young people can build on to make a decent living for themselves.

In his words: "Education no be scam. But it ain’t the yardstick to success. Two ways to interpret or decipher. A child needs to be learned to catch up with technology and how the world is evolving. A child should be taught that a living can be made via sports, skills, talents, and more."

The post stirred reactions on social media after it was shared.
