Former Mavin singer Korede Bello has shared his thoughts on how people can actually help the poor in our society today.
According to the Godwin crooner, one way to help the poor is for people to ensure they do not become for themselves.
This is coming after the singer granted an interview saying he would become an accountant if everything had woked out.

For how long have you been in music?
Professionally, I have been doing music for five years now, but music has been part of me ever since I was a kid, even back to my primary school days. So it has been a long way to come at and I really thank God. As you can see, here we are.
Judging you facially, you look so young. How would you have started five years ago professionally?
Of course, Michael Jackson started right since he was five, doing music professionally. So, I don’t see it as something impossible for me to have started music at the early stage of my life. Music is just part of me. It is what I have always wanted to do as a passion. I will just say it is pretty much cool.
Back then, did you ever believe you were going to be a musical artiste?
No, I have never thought of that. And funny enough, I have always wanted to be a footballer or an accountant. I didn’t really see music as a career. Actually, I saw it as a passion and a hobby. I didn’t know I was going to do music professionally until recently, during my secondary school days. I go to the studio doing recording seriously. I started seeing music as my life purpose. I see it as an opportunity to serve humanity.
When people regard you as an upcoming act, do you see yourself in that direction as well?
When somebody goes to school and is in primary one, will you call the person upcoming student? Or when you just get a job in the bank will you be called an upcoming banker? But for me I will say people are entitled to whatever title they choose to give artistes, but it depends on the artiste; ‘how you see yourself.’ I see myself as a musician, I see myself as a mega super star and that is all that matters. I will advise artistes not to go along with that upcoming title because you might just remain upcoming forever. So you had better see yourself as a musician and a servant to humanity. Is there upcoming pastor? If there is none, why upcoming artiste?
