Ghanaian musician Stonebwoy, known in private life as Livingstone Etse Satekla, has advised his peers to take advantage of every opportunity to educate themselves.
This comes after the BHIM Nation president graduated from the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) on July 25, 2024.
The Afro Dancehall star, who completed a master's degree in Public Administration, shared his thoughts on the importance of education, especially for those in the music industry.
Stonebwoy emphasized the value of seizing opportunities for formal education and continuous learning.
He encouraged musicians and others to pursue education whenever possible, rather than waiting until the end of their careers.
"When you do get the opportunity to formally educate yourself and add more knowledge, you should grasp it to show the whole world," he said.
He acknowledged the challenges of balancing education with other responsibilities but stressed that nothing is impossible.
"Nothing is that easy and nothing is that difficult. Once it is not impossible, then it's achievable. I think that's what I just proved," he added.
Stonebwoy congratulated his fellow graduates and expressed hope that his journey would inspire others to pursue their educational goals.
"If you do find and get the opportunity to continuously educate yourself and know more, I think you should grab the opportunity and not wait till you finish the career line before you want to start the education."
"This is going to go a long way to inspire people who are looking to educate themselves. If you do find and get the opportunity to continuously educate yourself and know more, I think you should grab the opportunity and not wait till you finish the career line before you want to start the education."
"Everything is education, whether formally or informally, so let's just grab it and be inspired," he concluded.
The graduation ceremony was a joyous occasion, with Stonebwoy's family and friends in attendance, including fellow musician Criss Waddle, who arrived in a Ferrari to show his support. Stonebwoy's speech and achievements serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of education and personal growth.
