It was in there that he acquired his primary education. For his secondary education, he attended White Sands College, Lekki, graduating in 2008. After his secondary education, he decided not to further his education at a higher institution. He stopped after his secondary education because he did not see higher education to be a prerequisite for success.<\/p>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"9\">In addition to his reasons for dropping out, he pointed out that some Master&#8217;s degree holders are facing the challenges of finding a well-paying job. He further stated that some who did not receive much education are excelling in their various businesses. Despite the fact that Asa Asika dropped out of college, he still believes that everyone should have some degree of knowledge.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"root-block-node\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"10\"><strong>He Got Involved in Show Business at a Very Young Age<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"11\">Asa Asika came from quite a well-connected family which aided his rise in the show business. His uncle, Obi Asika, is the CEO of Storm 360, one of Nigeria&#8217;s most well-known and focused labels. His cousin, Naeto C, is a Nigerian rapper, Afrobeats artist, and record producer. With this, Asa was buoyed to follow a career in the music business. His career began when he was 16 years old as he joined Storm 360 and began working on concerts.<\/p>\n<p data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"12\">Through his role with Storm 360, Asa Asika collaborated with famous Nigerian singers, including Naeto C, Sasha, Ikechukwu, and ELDee. He was heavily involved in the development of high-profile concerts such as MTN&#8217;s Homecoming and Samsung&#8217;s The Love of Music concert. After gaining experience in the sector, he made a significant contribution to the promotion and development of Rehab Club, one of Lagos&#8217; most popular nightclubs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"12\">Asa worked with Storm 360 till 2012 when Obi Asika and Olisa Adibua, the company directors, ended their partnership. He has since then been thriving on his own.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"root-block-node\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"13\"><strong>Asa Asika Became Davido&#8217;s Manager At The Age of 20<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"14\">Before Asa Askia became Davido&#8217;s manager, the duo had met many years ago. They forged a relationship that led to him becoming the singer&#8217;s first manager. Asa made a substantial contribution to Davido&#8217;s early success in the music industry. At the time when he started working with the musician, the talent manager was only 20 years old.<\/p>\n<p data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"15\">In January 2013, Asa and Davido split due to unresolved difficulties. According to the musician, his talent manager was too young and inexperienced to handle the job. He further stated that there were also some financial issues. Despite their differences, they still remained friends.<\/p>\n<p data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"16\">After experiencing disagreements with Kamal Ajiboye in 2017, Davido reappointed Asa Asika as his manager after four years apart. The musician announced Asa&#8217;s return to management via his Twitter account. He revealed that he dismissed Kamal Ajiboye because he was unable to promote him globally. Asa is still the musician&#8217;s manager to date, and they&#8217;ve accomplished a lot together.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"root-block-node\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"17\"><strong>He Expanded His Show Business Empire\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CX1kGcPoXbG\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
