Nigerian Singer Timi Dakolo Reflects On His Musical Journey And Career
Nigerian Singer Timi Dakolo reveals that he sometimes still thinks he became a musician by luck. During an interview with On The Record Podcast he recalled his musical journey, he stated that he viewed music as a hobby and not as a career then.
He shared that he decided to pursue music professionally after he won the Idols West Africa in 2007. “I still see myself as an accidental musician. Yeah, I used to sing in choir. I used to just like that I sang. The first idea of music was during morning devotion.”
“Then, we started singing street songs. We used to have notebooks where we write songs and they were girls to impress. So music was not something I thought I would do professionally. It was after Idols that I decided to do music professionally. “I said to myself, ‘Okay, we are here. Sometimes you meet your destiny on the road you take to avoid it’.”
Former reality star, Kimoprah, took to social media to share her thoughts on the audacity of some men.
The reality star revealed that taxi drivers often try to approach her, and she claims they have the audacity to do so. “Taxi drivers try to talk to me. Men have audacity. When you travel abroad, you know how it is there — they don’t really care about class, they can talk to anybody. Anybody has the right to speak.”
“I’ve had people like immigration officers try to talk to me. But the people you actually want to attract, those ones shy away. It’s even better that they shy away, because that means they’re not for me. So, it’s okay. The one that’s meant for me will eventually come — and will stay.”
Nigerian singer, Timi Dakolo, took to social media to call out an airline over his missing luggage with Royal Air Maroc (RAM).
The singer posted on his official Instagram page, accusing the airline of stealing his luggage after they failed to locate it.
“On the 26th of June, I flew from Lagos to Morocco, en route to Freetown. While boarding in Lagos, I saw my bag from where I was seated. It was a business class flight, and I had luggage priority. I was told my bag would be loaded, but it wasn’t.
“I got to Freetown and couldn’t find my bag. I filled out a form, kept calling, sent emails, and complained to NAHCO. Since the 26th of June, I haven’t seen my full luggage. It’s beginning to look like they stole my stuff. Air Maroc, please return my full luggage. It’s not just any kind of luggage oo.”
