Nigerian Superstar Timaya has advised youths to invest in themselves and to work hard. The singer and songwriter was among the A-list acts that headlined the 2021 Urban music festival over the weekend at the Eko Energy City in Lagos.
During his performance, Timaya spoke to the crowd.
He said: “Please invest. Don’t be a foolish person o, because if you are broke nobody will pick your call.
“I am begging you, my knees are down, please. Nobody loves anybody, just get your money right and go home.
“When you have your money you can call the shots. Tell yourself ‘I must be focused.’ Say, ‘in this 2022 it shall be right with me’.”
“From the bottom of my heart, thank you for always being my fan.
“But you must promise me something, that thing you believe in, you must always want to achieve it, believe in yourself.
“I was a dirty smelling boy, I dey sell plantain before, but today I am young and rich and if you know say I suffer before put your hands together for yourself,” Timaya said.
Timaya thrilled the audience with his old hits and his latest hit single ‘Cold Outside’ featuring Buju.
