Between Republic of Benin, Dubai and Nigeria, where did music favour you most?
Music is universal. In Cotonou, at that time, the respect for music and musicians was more than it was in Nigeria. As of now, Nigeria has grown in status and that is one thing that is really impressing. In Dubai, till date, music and musicians are hardly respected. While in Dubai, I was earning money because I was singing six days a week at Sheraton Hotel then later on at Ramadan Continental Hotel and I was being paid per month in addition to free accommodation and transportation. However, it all depends on ones level of preference. The question is whether it is all about money or about ones happiness and peace of mind? In Dubai, I could only slot in my own songs from time to time. I really had to keep singing what was in vogue, what people want to hear. Here, I am doing my song and if I decide to add other people’s songs, it is my choice. I cannot base my satisfaction on how much I earn. I would rather base it on the fulfillment I get from doing what I love best. Tell us about yoursel
