Nigerian media personality and master of ceremonies Roby Ekpo has detailed how singer Timi Dakolo supported him through the emotional devastation of his failed 11-year marriage after his partner relocated abroad.
The relationship finally ended when his ex-wife Mayowa Lambe remarried in the United States days ago, following a childless union where Ekpo claimed he made financial sacrifices while she lived abroad for six years.

During a recent Honest Bunch Podcast episode aired on YouTube, the entertainer explained that Timi Dakolo aided his recovery by sending therapeutic YouTube videos, including TD Jakes' sermons, to help him handle the heartbreak.
To prevent his isolation, Timi Dakolo brought him to a gig in Sierra Leone where, despite being unbooked for the two-day 50th birthday event, Ekpo successfully pleaded to briefly introduce the singer as an MC.
According to the OAP, this short appearance deeply impressed the celebrant's wife, who made him the main master of ceremonies the next day, earning him two thousand dollars.
"Timi Dakolo was always sending me messages on YouTube to watch how to get over heartbreak and all that, and I was always reading them. In June, Timi had a gig in Sierra Leone, and just because he didn't want me to stay in Nigeria, he took me for that gig. And that 2 to 5 minutes was what captivated the man's wife. And she said, 'What? You're going to MC the next day.' As I dey come back, they knack me 2K dollars."
