It seems the Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa is not done with his ‘grass to grace’ story anytime soon as he revealed how his academic life was like growing up.

Timaya announced to the cheering crowd  while he was performing at a concert on Saturday in Uyo that he had just 17 marks in the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board examination (JAMB).

The singer confessed, “Education is not for me, it is important, yes, but not for me for me”.

“I scored 17 in JAMB, That’s when I gave up. I don’t have the brain for education but for those of you who do, please do it, it’s good.”

And it is surprisingly the same head that spun those massive hits all this years, Timaya sure deserves a thumbs up.
