"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"

ReplyDelete@ anon 6:39 , wale was born and raised in washington dc he didnt leave nigeria to go "suffer" .

ReplyDeleteFYI:
ReplyDeleteFOR EVERY DOCTOR, NURSE, OR OTHER HIGH LEVEL PROFESSIONALS LIVING AWAY FROM NIGERIA DOING VERY WELL I MIGHT ADD-THERE ARE 100'S OF OTHERS LIKE WALE'S PARENTS LIVING FROM HAND TO MOUTH IN THE PROJECTS..
THE PROBLEM IS EVERYONE ENDS UP BEING LUMPED TOGETHER AND SOME OF YOU UNAWARE NIGERIANS IMAGINE EVERYONE IS POOR AND PRETENDING TO BE DOING ALRIGHT BECAUSE YOUR POINT OF REFERENCE IS WHETHER YOU RELY OR YOUR RELATIVES (LIKE WALE'S FAMILY TYPE)
STAY IN YOUR CORNER OF THE WORLD PEEPS:)

ReplyDeleteLinda I dnt no y u dnt like posting ma coment ooooh
ReplyDeleteU dey post anyhw talk dey live d beta 1 abi? Linda, Linda, Linda, hw many times I call u?
ReplyDeleteLet Wale save us all those "I wore no sandal to school stories" and do his tap thingy. We've seen beta
ReplyDeleteWale I love u.....U're so open n truthful n guess what u re gonna be greater than this I tell u.
ReplyDeleteDo not say "we" Nigerians talk for yourself... I don't hate Wale I am Nigerian
ReplyDeleteI know pple that love him too.
If u truly like Wale u will know that was not a complete story...Yes his parents had triumphs as any family would. However, his fam is far by poor at an age where if the opportunity was given...He coulsve travelled back home to visit. His parents have travelled back to Nigeria...in the beginning it took him a while to grab on to his roots as some kids raised in US struggle with.
ReplyDeleteWale had scholarships to go to college. No I do not blame him for the choice he made to finally drop out the third college he attended. Additionally in order to live in the section of MD he lived in growing up your folks had to be breaking bread. I do believe he forgot to mention his brother who is a big shot at a record lable in US...and he's related to a famous Nigerian actor in the US.
My only point is please dont prey upon the innocent and fool the listeners in Nigeria.
I'd had more respect for him to simply say: I wasnt ready, it wasnt his time yet and also once he strengthen his craft of music and actually saw how as Nigerians we will follow our brothers and sisters in support of us being one as Africans...and it helps that Naija artist are making money...crazy money that of course he wants to take into...that it has finally finally made him come home. Now his image is Naija 2 claim...
In a nutshell please make your forefathers proud and cut the spill...and keep it real.

ReplyDeleteThe person that said "They made over 4M per annum. Thats decent considering sm families dnt evn make half of that per annum in Nigeria. Its nt like they were poor,travelling to Nigeria ws
ReplyDeletea luxury they cudnt afford."
How can you compare the standard of living of Nigeria to the United States, its a shame you had to convert $20,000 to Naira to determine it decent???? LIKE WTF
In the United States we have what we call the poverty line so making $20,000 a year for a family is way below the poverty line. For instance in Boston, MA USA where I live a two bedroom apartment goes from anywhere between $1100-$1300 a month that's roughly between $13,200 - $15,600 plus other expenses like food, clothes, heat, light bill etc a family that only has an income of $20,000 is considered very very very poor. So please next time you compare two different countries with two different economy states please do some research.
And thank your Wale for giving them the reality of how it is to live in the United States because some people think America is full of bed of roses even some think money is waiting for you by the time you get to America.....THIS IS REALITY CHECK.....wherever you are or country you are YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD TO BE SUCCESSFUL.....let them naija people know and they should stop sleeping at the US embassy trying to get a visa....US embassy is getting rich off your ignorance.
