Timi & Busola Dakolo Share their Love Story

This is a wonderful story…

R&B singer Timi Dakolo and his wife Busola are one happy couple with their 3 adorable children.

Recently, Timi made a bold decision to feature his wife as the lead in his song “Iyawo Mi” and the result was simply lovely.

The couple granted an interview with Punch on how they met, how they settle differences and the finance of the family.

Read excerpts:

Busola: “Humility and the fear of God. We pray and worship God together. Immediately he gets the inspiration for a song, he comes to me. That triggers something in me and makes me feel like he really appreciates my opinion. He is a simple person.”

Timi: “It is always the physical attraction. I don’t think men fall in love because a lady can pray. She is very God-fearing and can pray. When we first met she was always asking us to pray and it got tiring at some point.”

On what they will love to change about each other:

Busola: “He stays on the phone for too long. I want him to spend more time with me instead of being on the phone.”

Timi: “She should be fast when we are going out and apply her make-up hurriedly.”

On if they run a joint account:

Busola: “No, we trust each other and don’t need to show each other our bank statements.”

Timi: “We don’t have joint account but monthly budgets. We have different accounts for different things and support each other financially.”

On what marriage means to him:

Timi: It’s simply two different persons coming together to spend the rest of their lives forever. It sounds big and risky but it comes with favour, grace, maturity and a certain level of respect depending on how you manage it. After I am paid for a show, I share the money into several places, and just a fraction gets to me because a lot of people are involved in the matter.
