[tilemarron]

@MotivatedVoter the artist singing this song is Lemar. And Timi has a similar voice color. Really welll done!!!

[jb6591]

Timi probably Short for Oluwateme- which means "one who is blessed by God"

[misssoriginal]

[katiettful]

[phizzyaas]

[olatunbosunolubunmi]

guys,timi no be yoruba boy ooo,timi na port harcourt boy

[omoibile]

@olatunbosunolubunmi : You are wrong he is not from Port Harcourt either, he is from Bayelsa aka Ijaw Riverine. grew up in PortHarcourt tho. Timi is a common name shared among the Yorubas, Itshekiris and Ijaws. By the way his late mother is Ghanian

[makarveli]

where is this Timi from?

[TheElectronicdesigns]

@makarveli Timi is from yoruba tribe in NIgeria.

[onospet]

@makarveli check it on google is a Nigeria/Ghana

[Southernmiss0208]

@onospet Via Wikipedia........ " Although he was born in Ghana, Dakolo does not claim dual citizenship; he holds a Nigerian passport."

[pesila75]

@Southernmiss0208 doesn't matter what he is, the boy is talented and his ethnic groupm wont make or break him period....

[YEWANDEeeeeee]

[Nana8706]

He sounds like Seal!

[liseebaby]

dats exactly hu he reminded me of

[omoibile]

Seal is a Nigerian too, I want to know where Jaheeim originated from 'cos he doesn't look like an AA nor his accent. He'st like a real rooted African boi ...lol...

[SweetDimplesThe1st]

But where did African Americans originally come from? Africa. Why should he not look African when he is.

[omoibile]

SweetDimples: You know exactly what I meant. An African black is culturally different from an American black. That's exactly what I meant not skin color. I stated he looked "REAL ROOTED" I can tell a black American from an African. We have that raw deep African way of doing things, and talking unless the streotyped ones. I love all my black people all over. Don't want to be misquoted nor start unnecessary debate. NO PUN INTENDED.

[Kandiikanez]

are you sure about that...

[charlinefile]

i'm in luve with his voice..........gasp.

[malandro]

oooo kwado!!!

[Missricco]

[burrowsus]

Go Timi, and to think Lemar is Nigerian as well....

[kemzie]

YES HE IS....well I know his mum is but she's gone now....may her soul rest in peace.

[africanflava]

omg that's real talent right there. He's one of those once in a lifetime talented ppl that could really make a difference and go far...I've gotta feeling he'll actually end up being big and someone whu cud contribute to changin not only Africa, but the world with his music. What country is he from?

[Spongyb]

[okesamuel]

He's got a very full voice. And I like it.

[desola1]

Lemar would undoutedly be proud of this performance. Timi has done exceedingly well and I couldn't be more proud to proclaim my affilation with his country of origin.
