Niger Delta Leaders Must Remember That Their Crude Oil Will Dry Up Soon – Timi Dakolo

Popular singer, Timi Dakolo has come out to pose a reasonable question to leaders of the Niger Delta region.

He recently had his say via his Twitter page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he can only remind leaders of the region that the crude oil it is blessed with will dry up soon, and then they will need to figure out what next.

His words,

WOW.

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.
