I once sold phones at Computer Village- Mr Eazi

Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade fondly called Mr Eazi in the Nigerian music industry has had his own fair share of life’s ups and downs. The singer who was backlashed by fans and colleagues for claiming to have pioneered the infusion of Ghanaian lingos into the Nigerian music industry, revealed that he once sold phones at Computer Village, in Ikeja, Lagos.

Speaking as a guest on a radio show, he said after obtaining his masters degree, he had to sell phones . According to him: “After I came back from Ghana, I got a job in oil and gas in Port Harcourt that paid about six thousand dollars per month but I quit because I was not finding fulfillment in it.

“I mean it was the same thing everyday, the same routine over and over again. The decision to quit the job finally hit me when my boss’ wife left him even with all the money he had.

“After I left my job, I got my Master’s degree and with all that qualification I started selling phones in computer village and everyone thought something was wrong with me.

“Even my mother started praying special prayers for me but my father didn’t add that final voice that would have decided my fate. My break finally came after I got an invite to do two shows in London that made me twelve thousand pounds which I used to shoot two videos.

“When I told my mother what I did with the money she stopped talking to me for about three weeks. I had to move in with a friend because even my relatives didn’t want me around but everything finally changed when I went back to London for shows that fetched me really good money.”
