Popular singer Timi Dakolo has issued a warning to people in abusive relationships. He recently had his say via his X page, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that enduring suffering is not proof of love, Dakolo revealed that it will never be the job of the victim to fix broken people.
The “Iyawo Mi” crooner added that a destructive tendency is not a character flaw; it’s a vice to stay far away from.
His words, “Dear anybody, suffering is not a proof of love.
The amount of abuse you can take is not what patience is all about. It is not your job to fix broken people.
Destructive tendencies is not character flaws. Even trained therapist gives up sometimes.”
Timi Dakolo (born January 20, 1981) is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and music producer. He emerged winner of the inaugural season of Idols West Africa in 2007. Accompanying his victory was a recording contract with Sony BMG, in addition to other prizes.
Timi Dakolo was born in Accra, Ghana to a Nigerian father, Bayelsa-native David and a Ghanaian mother, Norah Kimmy Head, who died when Dakolo was thirteen years old. Despite being born in Ghana, Timi has a Nigerian passport and does not claim dual citizenship.
He was raised in Port Harcourt by his grandmother Ateni Dakolo and his aunt Susan Larry, and he credits his aunt 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 them.
In 2011, he released the song “There’s a Cry”. The music video was filmed in Nigeria. He is currently signed with Lone Records/Now Muzik.
