Popular Nigerian artist, named TIMAYA reveals who he can call a Legend in the Nigerian music industry


Timaya has revealed that it is only Innocent ‘2baba’ Idibia that can call himself a legend among the active artistes in the Nigerian music industry.


The ‘Bam Bam’ singer frowned at the situation where artistes start referring to themselves as legends after making music for 10 years.


Timaya made the comment during a radio interview with SoundCity FM.


He said: “In this part of the world, many artistes when they get to 10 years, they start shouting ‘I’m a legend’, ‘legendary’.


“To me, in this industry, the only person that can call himself a legend is 2face. The others shouldn’t. Even if people call me a legend, I don’t like to be seen like that.”


The dancehall star maintained that he is still the king of commercial music, saying, “the crown never leaves. I am Timaya anytime any day, 13 years is not three years.


“People don’t understand that making a hit song doesn’t mean you are a star. Stars always shine, some people can make a hit song and you will never hear of them again. There’s no year I’ve never dropped a hit song.


“I don’t want to be number one. I just want to be a musician. A lot of people have come and gone but I’m still here.”


Timaya also gave his take on the issue of marriage, saying he is not predisposed to an elaborate ceremony.


He said: “I don’t really go for weddings like that. I like the private marriage.


“If I want to get married, I will not do a big gathering. One thing is to get married, the other thing is to stay married. Staying married is the hardest part.


“Do you know what it means for two people with different upbringings to come and start staying together? That’s not a joke.”

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has declared that it would begin an indefinite strike starting from December 12, 2018.

The National President of ASUP, Usman Dutse, in a chat with Premium Times said the federal government had failed to meet the demands of the polytechnic lecturers. Prior to this impending strike, the union had on October 2 issued a 21-day ultimatum to the government before it extended it to November.

Vinnelsblog -  October 12, 2018 Obasanjo, Atiku’ll fail together, says Presidency The Presidency has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as ‘predictable U-turn and somersault that is not surprising’. It said the duo would fail together.

Listening to the prepared statement of the former President after the meeting showed the usual ego trip and I-know-it-all character of Chief Obasanjo. “In the first place, we dare to say that a pompous statement from the former President advising Nigerians on a vote against President Buhari is the best recommendation that can come at this time. “It also betrayed a lack of understanding of today’s politics
