Timi Dakolo tells us how he manages to avoid scandals

by Anike Jacobs

Timi Dakolo is the happiest man right now.

Life is good, he has a hot wife, gorgeous kids and his career is on fire – good fire, we mean.

In a recent interview the Idols West Africa winner gushes about married life and the many blessings it has brought him. He also addresses how he deals with temptation.

Marriage has really transformed me, life is not just what it used to be any more I must confess. I can’t do a lot of things I want to do anymore because now I am married and it has made me more responsible. These days I think for more than just one person. Marriage makes you start every journey with an end in mind and that is the joy of being married.

Even as I speak to you I am thinking of how I will pay school fees and house rent. A lot of responsibility comes with marriage but then, it also comes with a lot of favour; undeserved favour, favour you can’t even explain being showered upon you from left right and centre.When you are married and your home is stable, it comes with a lot of blessings you can’t explain. People treat you differently, even God Himself brings things your way and you begin to see the world differently because things just click,” he says, snap­ping his fingers to drive home his point adding, “you can’t even explain why and you don’t know how it happens; that is the truth. Especially if you are at peace in your home, things just begin to click.

On how he deals with groupies and temptation

The Bible says ‘many are the afflictions of the righteous man.’ What I do is that I stay out of trouble and the way I avoid temptation is by sitting in my house and watching football, playing video games and doing music, and I am always so happy at the end of the day.

I always try to push my wife in people’s faces whenever I have the opportunity be­cause when it comes to temptation, no man is as strong as he thinks he is and that is the truth. So if you want to avoid temptation, just sit in your house and don’t forget that our industry is a very unforgiving one; I don’t want scandals.

The vocal powerhouse who had three kids in just four years also reveals he is done making babies.

I have three kids now and I can confidently tell you that my wife and I are done making children; no more kids because I have three already. I am done with making babies.

Aww.
