Why Eko Dydda studied at Riverside Girls High School, an all-girls school

Gospel singer Eko Dydda has hustled his way up from a mere garbage collector to a renowned artist.

The singer recently opened up on some rather surprising information about his high school life saying that he went to an all-girls school.

Dydda said that he dropped out from Eastleigh Boys High School while in form 2 due to lack of school fees and became a garbage collector in an effort to raise the fees,  getting paid roughly Ksh 50 from the sale of waste polythene bags.

Luck

The Vidole hit singer then got lucky after one of his former teacher offered to pay half of his fees but, there was still one problem.

The only slot available was at Riverside Girls High School. Eko pushed his pride aside and enrolled in the girls’ school and had to repeat form two to catch up with the new curriculum.

“All I wanted was to go back to school so when the opportunity came calling, I was willing to compromise my pride especially because I knew I was not destined to be at a garbage site. I had to repeat classes because the syllabus had changed so I went back to form two so that I could catch up with the new curriculum. My performance went up because I was less distracted. I think that is where I mastered the art of being focused on the core purpose that is why I am rarely distracted by what others are doing and sometimes what they are saying,” he told Salon Magazine.
