Nigerian Singer, Timi Dakolo , has taken to his
Instagram page to share a photo of where he lived
for 15 years in Port Harcourt before the fame.
When he sang about coming from poverty in Let it
Shine, the lead single of his debut album Beautiful
Noise , the
world stopped to listen to the powerful voice of the
young artiste who told touching stories about having
little
while growing up, and the strong family that stood
beside him.



And Timi’s light is still shining, because he still
headlines the crop of artistes telling evocative stories
through their songs.

The winner of the inaugural season of Idols West
Africa in 2007, also wrote an inspiring message
alongside the photo.

He wrote:

IT WASN’T ALWAYS LIKE THIS… ONCE UPON A TIME
IT WAS THE OVERSIZE SHOE… SO YOU WOULD
GROW INTO IT… THE “NO FOOD THIS EVENING…” THE
MOSQUITO WAR AT NIGHT…
THE “GO HOME YOU HAVEN’T PAID SCHOOL FEES…”
THE “JUST MANAGE FOOD GO DEY WHEN YOU COME
BACK FROM SCHOOL…” THE CONSTANT DODGING OF
THE LANDLORD.. THE
“NO CHRISTMAS DRESS THIS YEAR…” THE HUSTLE
TO MEET UP WAEC FEE BEFORE DEADLINE… THE
SANITATION FEE… THE “NO WORRY MY PIKIN E GO
BETTER…” IN ALL I HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
FAMILY… AWESOME
UNCLES AND AUNTIES… GREAT COUSINS AND
FRIENDS… THE HOUSE ON MY PICTURE WAS HOME
FOR LIKE 15 YEARS… SHA SHA, WE ENJOYED NO. 15
“CHRIST APOSTOLIC STREET…” MILE 3 DIOBU, PORT
HARCOURT…
THIS PICTURE SHOWS THERE IS A GOD… AND HE IS
INTERESTED IN YOUR MATTER…
