Renowned soulful singer Timi Dakolo recently reminisced about his response when a stranger gifted him his first one million naira.

Dakolo, who achieved victory in the inaugural ‘Idols West Africa’ singing contest in 2007, revealed that he hadn’t even seen N10,000 before the moment he was handed the N1 million by the generous individual in his hotel.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the 42-year-old “Iyawo Mi” crooner revealed that on receiving the money, his diction swiftly changed as he burst into speaking ‘good English’.

He also admitted the money ‘humbled’ him as he found himself just staring at it and couldn’t sleep as a result.

He noted,

“There was somebody that gave me N1m from nowhere. I had never seen N10,000 before.

“The money I used to have then was always N1,300, N800, N1,200, and N520. And somebody gave me N1m cash. He came to the hotel and gave me N1m. He said he doesn’t watch TV but he saw me on TV and he felt he should give me N1m.

“I saw N1m, I could not sleep. I was looking at the money. I said, ‘This money will change.’ I was speaking English that day. Me that used to disturb the whole place, I was quiet [sic]. I caught myself speaking good English.”
