I almost ran mad the first time I was given N100k – Timi Dakolo

Nigerian singer, Timi Dakolo emerged winner of Idols West Africa in 2007 but before winning the coveted crown of the talent hunt, the soulful singer was just ‘a nobody.’ In fact, at a point in his life, he resorted to menial jobs in order to survive according to him. In a recent interview with Punch, Timi said: ‘Growing up was hard. I grew up with my grandmother and you can imagine what it is like growing up with an old woman.

I thought something would happen to me or even the money. To us, it was big money. Growing up was not easy; it was an experience and a preparatory phase of my life. It taught me to work hard. I believe more in hard work than talent,’ he said....
