Timi Dakolo comes across as that friendly neighbour that you have conversations with on a calm Saturday evening. He joked, “You can’t date Mainland traffic, it will break your heart.” It wasn’t exactly funny, but the way he said it made us burst into laughter instantly. He’s quite a relatable character; his presence brought a familiar feeling and energy as he seemed to blend right in the studio filled with strange faces.
Dakolo emerged winner of the inaugural season of Idols West Africa in 2007. This makes it ten years since he came fully to the limelight.
Guardian Life sat to have a chat with the Nigerian star who had quite a lot to say.
So be sure to pick up a copy of today’s magazine in vendor stands nationwide. (Tip: It’s in the Guardian Nigeria newspaper.)
