Na so life.
Don't take bullshi.t but be nice to people as much as possible.
A smile, polite thank you, par on the back or even a simple acknowledgement may go a long way.

Timaya however admitted that he learnt one or two things from Eedris which helped him in life.

“One major thing I learnt from him was his stage performance. He is a lion when he is on stage, he is a super performer and I give that to him. I learnt that from him. For me to have admitted that I was his back-up singer was my way of giving him due recognition because he did not see me in that light. I could have said I was never with him but because I respect him, I opened up. There is no way I am going to write my story without putting his name. He is still my boss. If I am in a show and I see him, I would prostrate for him.

I won't be surprised if Timaya does the same to his own guys now. He comes off as a very arrogant guy. I'm his no 1 fan but d day I met him he acted like he couldn't even shake me and did his face like I smelt or I was dirty. I was really really surprised.

This was even in 2009, my friend was a student of UniAbuja then, he told me the night that he came back - my friend felt very bad about what happened.

Eeeyah. Pele
This is why I give no face to these celebrities. Its better for them to be like "dis one no noe me ni" than for me to be snobed. That short presh taught me a big lesson. Imagine that kpanda necklace wearing dwarf treated me like shit cos I was marketing my starcoms phone to him. Kc cautioned him there and then. I was so glad when Kc dumped his sorry arse.

Guy he's still instrumental to what you are today. if he had recognized and giving you all the cash you probably would have leaned on him and not become innovative enough to start something of your own. Let me ask, how many of those guys that he gave recognition and fed are what you are today?.
Timaya at least be grateful for been in his band. That may've been the beginning of your success.

Oh dear, life oh life. Please be nice to people you meet in life when you are on top, cus no one knows tomorrow. Absolutely no one. Timaya has said he owes Eedris Abdulakareem no thanks while he worked as a member of his band, and neither was Eedris nice to him like he now claims. According to Timaya, he stays outside the gate of Eedris Abdulkareeem from morning till night whenever he goes to see him, because they would not allow him in, and eventually, he sends someone to tell him to come back next week. He says Eedirs can’t take the glory of his career or reign and he should quit telling people he made him, because he never learnt from him. Timaya made these statements while answering a question from Saturday Beats if it was true that Eedris trained him and made him like the one time popular singer claims. Below is what Timaya said;


“When I was with Eedris Abdulkareem, did he give me due recognition? Eedris did not make me who I am today. I was the one that went to meet Eedris in his house. He never treated me well. I would stay at the front of his gate from morning till night and he would send somebody to tell me to come back after a week. When I returned the following week, he would not see me. I used my money to pay to attend his shows even though I was his band member. I was not celebrated.

“The only money Eedris paid me in his life was N1, 000 and it was after we had the Kuramo Beach show. That was nothing compared to the money I had been spending on transport. I was not bothered because I wanted a platform and I was learning. Like I always tell people, whatever you want in life, you just need to make sacrifice. Even if they feed you poop, you are not going to eat it forever. I gained a lot from that experience. It was through him that I met Sound Sultan and a lot of people. Eedris and I don’t do the same kind of music, so he does not influence me musically. I have never been in a studio where he was recording before and he never gave me that opportunity, so how did I learn anything from him,” he queried.

Didn't you read the part where he stayed at his gate throughout the day?
That alone can kill someone dream.

coollabman:
Ok I just checked your blog. Can you highlight the differences between the available dialects on your blog. It'll be good if you teach different dialects (or get someone else who can) for the sake of highlighting the cultural diversity within the igbo.
