_deagram: Wizkid’s father had an amazing career path tho by listening to what he said. I enjoyed watching this video. The man is still strong.

mimzgirlie: The prayer of every parent is see thier children prosper. May we live long to enjoy our fruits 🙏.

ifesalakoofficial: No wonder Wizkid would be forming neutral when it’s election time. Diddy and other greater stars contribute to the political narrative of their country. Superstars can do more to help their nation than just dishing out music and making money from the people.

paulworduma:  A man decided to take it upon himself to make Yaba have light. I’m certain people prayed for him for this act, so I’m not surprised that his son is a light, inspring so many young Nigerians.

yunglord_ksbn: This man wiz never gree from beginning. But now the man now understand that God’s plans is the highest and correct plans. This man Wiz always disagree. The man never support his music career at the beginning. Only his mother. The man want wizkid to be come a graduate. But Wiz refuse to listen. He was desperate to be came a mega super star. Wiz sacrifice days and years in the street and studio, instead of university. The man try his best to bend Wiz. But no. We thank God for today. The man love him, that’s why his trying harder to make sure he went to school. But God plans his the best. Drop two times for two different schools. Bcus book no dey baba agenda 😂😂😂 when you succeed you’ll be came number child in the family. Forget about the papers that others aquire.

switamakavita: Wizkid didn’t even bother to explain to people saying he is from a poor home cause he knows where he is from..for e mind anything una like una talk..wiz need to be studied.

moponz: He made the whole ALABA have light , and the people in ALABA prayed for him 1972 , then God later blessed his home with a superstar wizkid to bring light to the whole Nigeria …❤️❤️❤️(. If you comment rubbish under this I will block your mom!).
