For every glory, there is a story. This is story of Nigerian musician, celebrity and superstar, Timaya.
There are throwback pictures of Timaya, the Egberi papa one of Bayelsa which depict more of his suffering stories than anyone else.
Inetimi Timaya Odon was born in Rivers state, he was the youngest child of 15 children family.
Though Timaya went to school but wasnt really interested in school as he dropped out in his first semester after a very poor academic performance. Subsequently he moved to Lagos to join Eedris Abdulkareem group as a back up singer.
Timaya told his story some time ago that he was once a plantain seller, he had to hawk plantain to help his family, but today we all can see, he is already a made man.
Let us glance through some of his old pictures of his suffering days:

This was during his days as an undergraduate, however he dropped out after poor performance in his first semester.
But now let’s see pictures of the made man he has become:
