Common plantain seller now changed his name into Timaya.... from a nobody,God made me a somebody and lift me higher...not just made me a big boy, but a very RICH boy... but I'm still that plantain seller, so even if you sell water or ride okada taxi, Jehova will someday make you prosper... Very humble of Timaya to give people hope by giving example with his life and how things will eventually change. If you believe in yourself....
