When I Met Tems She Had Only 200 Naira in Her Account — Manager
Muyiwa Awoniyi, manager to Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, aka Tems, recently shared a surprising story about their early days together. On the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast, he revealed that when they first met, Tems had barely any money—just 200 Naira in her bank account. Despite her financial struggles, Awoniyi was impressed by her drive and dedication.
He recalled how, when he offered to manage her, she was so eager to formalize their partnership that she pushed him to sign the paperwork first—something he had never experienced before. Instead of a simple management deal, they decided to start a company together because he saw something unique in her. Before working together, they had been friends for about three months, during which Tems would quietly listen while he and his cousin chatted on his podcast.
Awoniyi said that even though Tems didn’t have a steady income, she would often order food for them, showing a generosity and spirit that set her apart from others he had met in Nigeria. Her hunger to succeed and her unique character convinced him she was different and worth the leap.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
