Nollywood bad boy, as he is generally referred to by his teeming fans, Jim Iyke has opened up on popular musician, Timaya, (the Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa)…

“Timaya is the most consistent with every tide, trend, competition and level he meets it and surpasses it. People may never term him the number one in the industry but how many people can remain relevant in the entertainment industry for almost 12 years? Why would I not want to be friends with such a person? It is the same thing with me.”

“He understands the business I do, he loves it, calls me sometimes about some of my business moves and I am always happy to explain them to him. We call each other to share business ideas.”

“For instance, if he buys a property and begins to build a house on it, I would ask him the reason behind the business move and he would explain.”

“Timaya is someone that could call me to inform me about a landed property and predict the value of that property in five years and he is always right. Even when I am sceptical to buy the property, he would tell me that he would buy it but I would refund his money and that is what he would do.”

“If a business idea also springs up from my side, I call him to inform him about it; if he is wasting time, I would buy it for him because I know how I would get my money back.”
