Nigerian singer, Timi Dakolo, has shared how he met his wife, Busola.
The ‘Iyawo mi’ crooner got married to Busola in 2012 and has three children together.
In an interview with Pulse, Timi Dakolo said he met his wife in church, but she did not show interest in having a romantic relationship with him.
The singer said that despite his wife’s objection, he was persistent, stressing that he suffered to win her love.
He further said that Busola usually feels embarrassed whenever he picks her up with the branded Picanto he won from the inaugural season of Idols West Africa in 2007.
He said, “I met my wife in the church. I went to her and asked her to be my date for a ball. She gave me her number but wasn’t picking up the phone when I called. I kept going to the area hoping to see her again. Then I saw her one day and I asked her why was she not picking my calls and she said her phone got stolen.
“I sympathised with her and we became friends. I started developing feelings for her and she wanted to friend-zone me but I refused. I suffered to win her love. I was taking her to work to and fro. At one time, she used to be embarrassed whenever I picked her up with the branded Picanto I won from Nigerian Idols. I said, ‘Okay, don’t worry. I will shock you. Don’t look down on me.’ And I did.”
