R&B singer Timi Dakolo who was amongst the judges of the just concluded The Voice Nigeria that saw contestant, Idyl emerged winner from the team he coached has got some serious pointers for the successful newcomers of the music industry.

“To whom it may concern,” Timi Dakolo wrote. “Especially @idyl_music, everyone on #teamtimi, you must know these things…”

1. Time is currency, spend it wisely… time respects those who respects it.
2. You will loose friends, family member will shock you with certain attitudes… Don’t pressure yourself… Do the little you can.

3. Fame is a dangerous bacteria… more often than not. it consumes its host…

4. Do not give your strength to strange women/men… For by communion with a strange woman/man is a mighty man/woman reduced to a piece of bread.

5. Know your craft… Know it for yourself… Or people will hold you to ransom

6. Learn a new thing everyday… Trust me you are arming yourself for tomorrow…

7. Save at least 60% of what you earn… Trust me the future you will thank you.

8. I rather see you with a book in your hand than liquor… I think it’s sexier…

9. Remember to fear God. That is wisdom and to shun evil is understanding..

10. If you are asked a question and you don’t the answer, say I don’t know… there is no shame in that..

11. Remember your parents.

12. Be humble… be approachable… Be kind for no reason… God loves people like that…

13. Double your work rate… The stakes are higher… Thank me later.

The scripture said in the book of Mathew 16:18; “Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

There is an assurance from God that the church of God will ever stand strong in the midst of the storm. Yes, challenges & difficult situations may arise as the devil is the ruler of the world, but we must join hands together as one body in Christ, remain immovable and love one another irrespective of our denomination. We are the Assemblies, We carry the presence of God and ”Our Assemblies will never fall”

Charly-C was inspired to put together this song titled ”Standing Strong” to promote unity in the church of God regardless of the fuss and differences.

“United we conquer, divided we crumble”

Lyrics
Verse 1:
The church is marching ON & the gates of hell can’t prevail, no matter what we’re passing through, We are not ignorant of the devices of the enemy, “Assemblies Still Standing Strong” (2×)

No matter what we face, we’ll depend on you,
No matter all the fight we’ll depend on you, our king!
No matter how we feel we’ll depend on you, our king!
Emmanuel, will keep his church. (2×)

Verse 2:
The church is marching ON & the gates of hell can’t prevail, no matter what we’re passing through, We are not ignorant of the devices of the enemy, “Assemblies Still Standing Strong” (2×)

After releasing two powerful songs this year, Yadah releases breathe taking photos to celebrate Nigeria and here is her message below.

Nigeria,
If we cant’ stick together because our languages are different, we will learn how to speak one language.
Nigeria,
If the trumpets are blown to show that you harbour thieves,  I Will blow trumpets announcing beautiful Agbani,  the Young Enugu boy Who constructed a small airplane, Ufot Ekong Who broke a foreign country’s 50 year record,  clergy men working tirelessly, I will talk about Yadah (smiles) .
Nigeria, 
If they conclude you’re ugly,  I Will tell them of wikki warm springs in Bauchi,  I will scream Obudu cattle ranch into their ears.
Nigeria,
Home of the talented and the skilled, the brave and the strong, beautiful work of art,  designed by nature itself.

Nigeria,
We will raise your flag, peace and unity at the centre Of wealth and natural endowment. Green-white-green. How can the center not hold?
How would we dare waste the labour of our heroes Past ?
Taiwo Akinkunmi’s prophetic effort ?
How would we rip us of the freedom we fought for ?

Nigeria,
We Will learn love and honesty again, so we can grow into a people you’ll be proud to host.
We Will work till you’re prized high,  pray till you’re like heaven,  where God’s Will is done.
We Will learn afresh to value lives,  a virtue that’s never too old.
We’ll learn not to rip you of your greenness, from which the oxygen we breathe is released, but in Wisdom explore all of your bountiful wealth.

Nigeria,
We Will learn the truth again,  for in it we’ll find the way and life itself.
We’ll pick up our MOTTO where we parked it, we We will run with UNITY AND FAITH. We needed it,  so do we now.

Nigeria,
We Will allow the God of creation to direct our noble cause.
His sons are here!!!

Nigeria,
The words of the righteous prevail over you.

I believe in Nigeria.
I love Nigeria.
Nigeria is blessed. 

Happy 57th independence Nigeria!!!

Lyrics of Great Again

Intro- This song is dedicated to my beloved country Nigeria. A great Nation with blessed people. God bless Nigeria

Verse- Nigeria my dear country I sing to you

A great nation that needs correction

God made you great but you chose to be small

Because of corruption and misdirection

God made you great but you chose to be small

Because of corruption and misdirection

You are destined to rise destined to rule destined to reign (3x)

But corruption is ripping us apart

Tribalism is ripping us apart

Disunity is ripping us apart

Greediness is ripping us apart

Selfishness is ripping us apart

Injustice is ripping us apart

God’s intervention will make these all depart

We all need each other to make us great again 4x

Let there be love and peace among us 2x

No more fighting no more killing no mistreating 2x

We all need each other to make us great again 4x
