REAL LIFE LESSONS: How Nigerian Musician Wizkid signed an unknown Ahmed

There's this trending new boy... His name is simply #Ahmed, from Ijebu-Ode!!!!

You know, life can be very eventful and hilariously serious.
Ahmed should not be more than 15years... He saved up N5000 to attend the "#Wizkid The Concert" at
Eko Hotels. Seriously, the unknown boy before the show is now a millionaire, and the next big thing for the rap music genre come 2018.

How???

Follow the story...And learn from Ahmed...

Ahmed is a lover of rap music. In fact, he raps along the street for stipends.
Lesson 1: BEHIND THE SCENE, BUILD CAPACITY:
Hearing about the show by Wizkid, he started saving to attend... But unlike everyone else, he had a motive. He wasn't attending for the fun of it. He was making a serious gamble with his saved N5000. He did make it to the show, and carefully chose a space close to the stage.

Lesson 2: BE VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT LIFE.
Ahmed was taken off the stage initially by the stage manager when he made his way to the stage at the same time Wizkid did. The small boy didn't give up. He kept seeking attention until Wizkid signalled him to come upstage... His mighty chance.

Lesson 3: BE PERSISTENT. DON'T LET PEOPLE COME BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DREAMS. SOME OPPORTUNITIES LOST MAY NEVER BE REGAINED.
I guess Wizkid would have just wanted the boy to say a word or two to the crowd. (My guy get other plans.) He told Wizkid he wanted to rap🎶. He took the mic and said "DJ, GIVE ME ANY INSTRUMENTAL." He stole Wizkid's stage and wowed his audience. Everyone was on his feet.... Ahmed has captivated them... He has owned them... Wizkid himself jumped around to Ahmed's rap!!!!

Lesson 4: DON'T MESS WITH YOUR OPPORTUNITIES. YOU MUST DELIVER!!!!
The result of preparation, persistence and performance??? REWARD.

There and then, WIZKID SIGNED AHMED to his STARBOY label, and an INITIAL N10,000,000 ENDORSEMENT, promising to give the boy all he wants.

Less than a maximised four minutes changed Ahmed's story!!!!

Congratulations Starboy Ahmed.
