He wrote, “Nigerian Politicians have stolen and are still stealing billions and trillions from the Nation’s purse.

“How can you comfortably loot public funds enough to change the standard of living of millions of the people you ought to serve selflessly?
What type of greed and wickedness is this? How exactly is the Country supposed to get better when our Politicians just want to steal!!!

Before I Acquired My Bentley, I First Got A Key Holder At Shiloh – Timaya

He shared this during a recent interview with Naija FM 102. 7, stating that one should profess positively for good things to happen in their lives.

During the interview, he had revealed that Burna Boy had sent out his female colleagues, Omawumi and Waje for doubting his belief about flying private jets.

Sharing how his own faith had brought about good fortune for him, he revealed that before he got his Bentley, he first got a key for it during Bishop Oyedepo’s Shiloh.

“Nothing Burna Boy is doing now surprises me. The guy is fearless. There was one time when Burna Boy, Omawumi and Waje were in the studio, and he [Burna Boy] started saying that a time would come when he would be getting paid to enter jet. Omawumi and Waje started doubting him because then Nigerian artists hadn’t started flying private jets. He got angry and opened the studio door and asked them to leave.

Before I bought my Bentley, I first buy the key holder for Shiloh. I no even get money for the Bentley oh. I just go Shiloh. I’m a Winner.”
