Growing up, most of the kids were programmed with the
idea that it is either we became a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer. Every other
career was a No. These various ideologies were so much rooted in the society
that it dictates how we view each other even in high school.
In my high school days, I was so good with my
economics, geography and other social science subject but was forced to study
sciences all because my peers see the science students as the most superior
students. Despite the fact that my system hated the boring life associated with
all the chemistry and physics lessons, I lived with this inner conflict until I
was bold enough to choose my path pretty much after high school. Some did not
have such courage because they have more bullies like my high school peers in
their families.
What most had around were those peeps that say
you are nothing except you become what they want you to be, without considering
you as a person. Which kid dares tell their parents that they want to become a
stylist, photographer, journalist, OAP or become a Deejay? Back in the days,
what most folks picture as a Deejay is a scraggly looking youth wearing a face
cap reversed, baggy jeans and loose top, confined in the most obscure corners
in a gig, oblivious to anyone else, busy with his turntable with nothing to
show for all the effort put in at the end of the day. Let’s fast forward things
from twenty five years ago to today, the tide has turned and they are the
trendiest and perhaps more trendy than the average artiste and even more
respectable and classy.
