Timi Dakolo attributes his growth to his wife after a man questions her love for him
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo responded to a comment from a social media user on X (formerly Twitter) who questioned his wife’s feelings for him.
The user, identified as Dickon, reacted to a story shared by Timi Dakolo. In the story, Timi revealed that his wife used to feel embarrassed when he would pick her up in a branded Picanto car he had won on Nigerian Idols.
Dickon criticized the story, questioning why Nigerian men often portray love as enduring hardship. He commented:
“Saying ‘I suffered for this girl’ isn’t something to brag about. Why do Nigerian men associate love with suffering? Who taught you to think this way? This story seems one-sided. The man was working hard to win her over even when she felt embarrassed by him. What’s amusing about this?”
In response, Timi explained that his wife motivated him to improve himself, and they’ve been happily married for nearly 15 years. He mentioned that they now laugh together about those moments.
Timi concluded by encouraging Dickon to share his own love story in whatever way he preferred.
