THE WAY PEOPLE ARE MAKING DIVORCE LOOK LIKE SOMETHING KOOL.. . LIKE YOUR MARRIAGE VOW MEANS NOTHING.. IT MAKES ME WONDER WHAT THEY THOUGHT FOR BETTER FOR WORSE MEANT.. IF YOU WEREN’T SURE.. WHY DID U GO AHEAD? DON’T GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME .. YOU GUYS ARE THE PROBLEM NOT THAT MARRIAGE IS BAD.. THIS SHALLOW AND IMPATIENCE GENERATION.. FIX YOURSELF.. MARRIAGE IS FOR TWO COMPLETE ADULTS ..

Timi Dakolo Speaks on Tithing, Dissociates himself from Daddyfreeze

Posted on by Omaku Josephine

The singer took to Instagram to advice Christians on tithing and following church leaders blindly.

Timi Dakolo, yesterday, advised Christians to stop following pastors blindly, rather, he advised that they follow Christ and stop building dreams round their pastors. He also gave an insight on what the Bible says about the payment of tithes which is contrary to present day practice among Christians. He wrote:

LET ME JUST CHALLENGE YOUR MIND A LITTLE BIT.. ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE BUILDING YOUR DREAM OR THE PASTOR’S OWN.. THE VISION YOU ARE RUNNING WITH ..IS IT YOURS OR THE PASTORS OWN?
I AM TIRED OF ALL THIS PASTOR SAID THIS ..PASTOR SAID THAT PEOPLE.. WHAT IS GOD SAYING..? LEAVE PASTOR AND FOLLOW JESUS .. PLEASE KNOW GOD FOR YOURSELF… THAT’S MATURITY.

AND ANOTHER MATTER..WHEN THE BIBLE SAID.. PAY YOUR TITHES AND OFFERING .. IT DIDN’T STOP THERE O.. BUT WE ALMOST ALWAYS STOP THERE.. IT GOES ON TO SAY .. SO THAT THERE WILL BE MEAT ENOUGH IN THE HOUSE.. AND WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE THE BIBLE WAS TALKING ABOUT?
SHA LET ME KEEP QUIET.. WHAT DO I KNOW.. AM I NOT JUST A MUSICIAN..

Reacting to a fan who likened the singer’s post to what OAP, Daddyfreeze has been saying about tithes, Timi stated clearly that he isn’t saying the same thing with Daddyfreeze.

Winner, The Voice Nigeria Talks About the Pressures of Being a Winner

Posted on by Omaku Josephine

Winner of the just concluded music talent show, The Voice Nigeria, talks on his plans to further his music career, the pressures on him and the most valuable advice he received from his coach, Timi Dakolo.

In an interview with Pulse TV, the song star said that he has so many pieces of advice coming at him from various angles so it is often difficult because he also has opinions for himself.

Excerpts from the interview below…

I saw Timi not just as a coach, I saw him as a brother and as a colleague. I connected to Timi Dakolo, his music and his personality.

He repeatedly said this: “You’re are as good as your last performance. So whenever you hit that stage, you have to leave an impression.”

He said, “Music always leaves an impression, so you should at every point in time, leave an impression.” Those words stuck in my head.

So whenever I go on stage, I always remember those words.

Asked the kind of album he wishes to produce, he said, “I want my album to be Ideal. I want my album to be unexpected. I want my album to cut across every genre of music, race, and every kind of lifestyle.

There’s going to be songs that you listen to and you want to nod your head. There’s going to be songs that you listen to and you become very sober. There’s going to be songs that you listen to and it turns on that party mood in you.”

Speaking on the presures he feels, the 22 year old winner said,

“I feel pressured because right now, I’m in the spotlight and everybody has an opinion. This person is telling you this, the other person is telling you that, and you want to do something else.

There’s a lot of pressure on me, but that’s what we bargained for. I will just let it flow naturally.”

The winning coach of the just concluded Music competition, Timi Dakolo has a piece of advice for everyone on his team especially Idyl and every other person who cares to listen (read).

In an Instagram Post, the Singer and Winner of the maiden edition of The West African Idol took out time to advice the winner of the second edition of The Voice Nigeria and every other concerned person(s).

He wrote: ”TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.. ESPECIALLY @idyl_music, EVERYONE ON #TEAMTIMI #DAMNGOODCOACH
1.YOU MUST KNOW THESE THINGS.. 1.TIME IS CURRENCY,SPEND IT WISELY..TIME RESPECTS THOSE WHO RESPECTS IT.

2.YOU WILL LOOSE FRIENDS,FAMILY MEMBER WILL SHOCK YOU WITH CERTAIN ATTITUDES.. DON’T PRESSURE YOURSELF.. DO THE LITTLE YOU CAN..

3.FAME IS A DANGEROUS BACTERIA..MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. IT CONSUMES ITS HOST.. 4.DO NOT GIVE YOUR STRENGTH TO STRANGE WOMEN/MEN.. FOR BY COMMUNION WITH A STRANGE WOMAN/MAN IS A MIGHTY MAN/WOMAN REDUCED TO A PIECE OF BREAD.

5.KNOW YOUR CRAFT.. KNOW IT FOR YOURSELF.. OR PEOPLE WILL HOLD YOU TO RANSOM

6.LEARN A NEW THING EVERYDAY.. TRUST ME YOU ARE ARMING YOURSELF FOR TOMORROW..

7.SAVE AT LEAST 60% OF WHAT YOU EARN.. TRUST ME THE FUTURE YOU WILL THANK YOU..

8.I RATHER SEE YOU WITH A BOOK IN YOUR HAND THAN LIQUOR..I THINK IT’S SEXIER.. 9.REMEMBER ,TO FEAR GOD IS WISDOM AND TO SHUN EVIL IS UNDERSTANDING..

10.IF YOU ARE ASKED A QUESTION AND YOU DON’T THE ANSWER ,SAY I DON’T KNOW..THERE IS NO SHAME IN THAN.. 11.REMEMBER YOUR PARENTS.

12.BE HUMBLE..BE APPROACHABLE.. BE KIND FOR NO REASON.. GOD LOVES PEOPLE LIKE THAT.. 13.DOUBLE YOUR WORK RATE.. THE STAKES ARE HIGHER.. THANK ME LATER…”

Guessing the singer resorted to caps lock for emphasis…

The singer has worked this road before and certainly knows the twists and turns, high and low as well as the sweet and sour of it so this advice could not come in more handy for anyone that wants to rise in the art of life.

To everyone concerned, we hope this sinks!
