Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo shares adorable photo of his wife and 3 kids in London with caption;
“THEY ARE HERE AGAIN..FATHER THEY HERE ARE AGAIN. #YARDPEOPLE”
Timi Dakolo was born in Accra, Ghana to a Nigerian father, Bayelsa-native David and a Ghanaian mother, Norah, who died when Dakolo was thirteen. Despite being born in Ghana, Timi has a Nigerian passport and does not claim dual citizenship.
His grandmother Ateni Dakolo and his aunty Susan Larry, who lived in Port Harcourt raised him, and he credits her as his early singing teacher. So deep was their relationship that Timi declined an offer to move to Lagos with his parents, opting to stay back in Port-harcourt with his grandmother.
Timi started singing in church at the age of twelve. In 2003 he joined the singing group Purple Love as a founding member. They dominated the Port Harcourt club circuit, but disbanded in 2005 as all its members had gained admission into the University of Port Harcourt.
Around that same period, Timi won a local talent hunt contest G.E FACTO held in Port Harcourt.
