Interview; There's more to life than saying 'I do'_Timeyin







Timeyin; a combination of beauty, talent and brain has made wave in the Music Industry following her recent nomination in the BAE award. The essentric Hip Hop rap artiste and BAE award nominee talks about her life as a Pharmacist and musician in an interview with Miss Joy Ngofaa.








Joy Ngofaa: Who is Timeyin?

Tim: Timeyin is an eccentric pharmacist cum HipHop Artiste who believes in the autonomousity of Life.

Joy Ngofaa: I've seen some of your songs like 'Gbemisoke', 'I am a legend' and some others; they are simply splendid. I mean, I look and see great talent.  Your songs have a unique style. What inspires your kind of music?

Tim: Thank you very much. Well! I am basically inspired by my environment and life in general.

Joy Ngofaa: Nice, when did you kick start your musical journey?

Tim: Well! I think I should say when I was six. I remember having my first 'on stage' performance then. My first on stage solo performance was a melodious piece. Then I joined my school choir. I started visiting studios pretty early. But I should say, my professional year started when I rounded up with school, early 2016.

Joy Ngofaa: Did you look at music as something you would do professionally?

Tim: Yes! yes I always knew that I wanted to do music as early as primary 5. I was influenced by the Lizzy McGuire movie that year. But then I had issues identifying my sound. I ended up listening to a lot of people and taking a lot of opinions, and that affected my output. It took my last single which turned out to be a hit for me to discover myself and my sound. You're going to be hearing more of it this year.
I am eccentric..let's deal with it.

Joy Ngofaa: How were you able to cope with music and school?

Tim: I literally couldn't. I had to pause everything music, till I wrote my last paper. Then I dropped 'I am legend' which I resumed after school.

Joy Ngofaa: How did your family take your music? Especially since you had to study pharmacy?

Tim: They have been supportive so far,  but then it's still difficult because I am presently doing my internship.

Joy Ngofaa: So why did you choose to study pharmacy?

Tim: I have always been a multi-talented autodidact. When I was at that stage of my life when I had to make a career decision, I didn't know what to go for. I chose medicine. But as you can see, I landed in the realm of drugs and pharmacotherapy. I didn't know there was a course called pharmacy until I got it.

Joy Ngofaa: Tell us about some musical adventures you've had.








Tim: I was nominated in the BAE awards in the 'Best New Female Artiste ' category and voting just entered. Results haven't been published yet, I pray I win. Much love to all those who have voted for me. I once won a top naija music award in Lagos 'Next to stardom' category 2015 abi 2016. I was in South Africa Last year, na music carry me go. My song Gbemisoke has over twelve thousand YouTube views and my fan base has been growing. To me, these are achievements.

Joy Ngofaa: They sure are. Any new or future project?

Tim: Yes; I recently dropped a 'Rap Acapella' piece on YouTube and it's doing so well. I have a project that would come up later this year. 'Sycamore' it's going to be a duo eccentric audio-visual release that would reveal who Timeyin is for real (laughs). My songs always have a message. Trust me, this one's going to be deep.









Joy Ngofaa: I anticipate. Who is your role model in music?

Tim: Its hard to strictly pick one of them, but I have always loved Kanye west, Nicki minaj, and Eminem. In the Nigerian music scene, I dobale for Black Magic and M.I.

Joy Ngofaa: How do you visualize your life 5 years from now?

Tim: I have a very big vision. I can see the duo-release doing so well on I-Tunes, Spotify, Mtnmusicplus and co. I see my subsequent releases going beyond where I can fathom. I see me achieving what would take me 10years to do in this particular year by faith.

Therefore in 5years, Timeyin should be an established artiste with many hits, an M.Pharm degree and possibly a PhD, and of course a fat bank account. All these shall come to fruition by faith in Jesus name.

Joy Ngofaa: How do you intend to combine your musical carrier with pharmacy practice?

Tim: I have never dreamt of working under anyone and I believe being an independent CEO makes everything easier. It wouldn't be so hard to combine.

Joy Ngofaa: That means you intend to go into community practice?

Tim: I definitely would love to own my own pharmacy. It's part of being independent.  But for my personal practice, I would be a part time lecturer. I love teaching, that's the essence of grabbing all these degrees.

Joy Ngofaa: Based on Nigerian culture, once a lady graduates, the next thing people expect is marriage. Do you have that in mind any time soon?




Tim: I have a different mindset all together. I won't say I am too young for that, 21 is pretty old (after all some 18year olds have plenty children) but I would say I am not mentally/psychologically ready for such responsibility. There's more to life than saying 'I do' it's not my prerogative. Anytime soon...No!

Joy Ngofaa: Any final words?

Tim: I just want my fans to know that I have got mad love for them. And I would be a good role model, so that they'll know that societal pressures and environmental factors don't have to determine who they are or how far they go in life.

Continued from part 1.                                  If you missed part one, click    here I fear that I let them do it to me.  I fear that I gave them avenue to use me, to hurt me.  Deep down in my heart a voice says "no you didn't "      Bill says "no you didn't "      But it's obvious, isn't it?  After mum remarried when I turned fifteen,  that was when the self stabbings and cuttings started.  I think I gave them the cue.  Mum, a career woman was rarely at home. According to her,  she remarried for me. So that I can have a man figure in my life.  I was always left with mum's husband and my step brother.  That was when the blood began dripping and the smell began seeping out.  I bet they could smell it.    Dad,  as I had to call mum's husband,  raped me.  It didn't seem like a rape to me though. Somewhere in my mind I had anticipated it,  schemed and made the setup. And it seemed he had  walked into my trap,  even when h

Continued from   part 1   Then one day she met Tom and they became friends. He was a junior and normally such friendships were short-lived because people begin to say things and you tend to think they are right. But not them, Tom didn't seem to care about what people said, and she didn't have friends so no one said anything to her. Tom was working wonders so we welcomed him into our family with open arms...dad absolutely adored him and so did I.            Their friendship blossomed into something beautiful and every weekend they ate at a particular Chinese restaurant. Tom bought her flowers every time he came to visit and soon they started talking about the future, I was thrilled and inspired, my depressed sister had finally found her Prince charming, and their love had finally transformed into something beautiful, oh, the power of love.

Diary Series; Miriam's Diary

It's August 15th I see a lady, she looks frail and sorrowful lying helplessly in a hospital bed. I could tell by her countenance that she is drenched in depression. I was prompted to go to her. I held her hand and said "Jesus loves you ma'am" she smiles at me; a warm and charming smile. I smile back. I give her a hug, then spend more time with her. We chat a little. I lead her to Christ and hand her a tract. She promises to read it. She has cancer on her left breast. She would recieve chemotherapy.  I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Miriam. I'm five. I'll be six 12 days from today. I have cancer too. My doctor says I have 8 days more to live. I pray I see my birthday. Peradventure I'll grow taller, or even bigger. They call me little Mira. I know I'm not just a little girl; I'm a big king right on the inside. I'm confined to the hospital bed. My pain has intensified. The wounds and sores have increased. Most times

Tasting tear drops (part 1)

Image
Tomorrow, it'd be second August again and Mary will go out to China town. She'd buy herself some beautiful Chinese lanterns and all sorts of decor she can remember. Each year, they become less because of her amnesia. Then she'd stop by her favourite Chinese restaurant and buy everyone sushi. Dad will help take out everything in the garage and she'll set up her decorations, it had become some kind of ritual, one that only both of them understood. She'd set up dinner table for two and she'd place two seats. When the clock strikes nine in the night and the star lights are in place, for some bizarre reason, there are always star lights in the sky on the second of August. Its as if even God understands that the night lights are important to her. She'd dress up in a beautiful dinner gown and come downstairs, and dad as always, will take her by the hand and walk her to the front door. Once she was outside, she'd hug an imaginary figure and point to the sky.

She said she wanted just to say "hi" and after we talked for hours and more it became a problem to say "bye" He said he just wanted to see my smiles, but we would then hold hands and walk miles. She wanted just to talk and talk we did until it wasn't enough she wanted more. She said she does not like hugs so we shook hands but as time passed it was not enough any more. we just had to get more so we hugged for seconds and it grew from minutes into some thing that looked like a cuddle, but the affection was still not enough, so every once in a while we would give each other pecks on the chick and it was nice and all but we wanted more, so we kissed once and again and again.   It was cloudy and windy one lovely evening. Even a blind man could tell that the rain was coming, the power was out and she and I as though we were opposites of a magnet came closer and closer, she wanted to cuddle, so we cuddled and cuddled until our clothes left our bodies
