i sold vegetable in Ogbete market Enugu Nigeria!.....niggas den were dead broke and had no where to earn money from if not selling crops in d market....i really really suffered!..am just 19 now, been in Texas for 4 years now, successful, happy and thankful everyday to God!..all i want y`all to know is dat all condition is NEVER permanent..believe in God and one day u would rise far above ur haters/people who never believed in u!...God is great! Timaya thank u for such an inspirational song!
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....
I use to be a bus conductor and a times I will push weelbarrow, but thank God today am now one of the biggest importer in south eastern part of Nigeria, it is all glory to God.
In this life, nothing is permanent. I remmebered those days my landlady asked my brother n i to park out from her house because we couldn't able to pay the house rent but NOW am a landlady with family. Glory be to Almight God .
This Music Reminds me my Past, I Sell Pure water, Onion, and Colanut! But Alhamdulillah today I"m the Youngest Medical Scientist in my Town and Also one of the Importer In Northern Nigeria! No Condition is permanent!
O boy so many touching stories. My siblings and I sold different things; 'ice water' then graduated to 'pure water', 'soap', 'ice creams', 'water-proof 'etc. But now, all of us are graduates. Most of us are abroad doing very well. I am now a practicing doctor abroad after 1st degree in Naija. Thanks bro for this song, it relates to most of Nigerians.
I remember hawking for my mother once I am back from school. Thank God my life changed and my mother is enjoying the fruit of her labor. She can travel to USA anytime, any day cos I am a citizen.
+David Ofana yes i like this. i sold plantain with my brother who is also a Phd Research fellow today and i a masters students and I am still that plantain boy.
Each time I play this song here......I feel so emotional thanking God for everything since way back 2011, now story has changed.Thank you Timaya for this evergreen song. God bless you brother.
God is faithful I was an okada man but now living larg in South Africa own houses and car dealership here in SA brought my parent down now my Dad and Mum are so proud of me.our God is a faithful God.
I shed tears of Joy when I listen to this song,I was no body in the village selling fire wood ,I hawk food,and sell water leaf and Ugu. Hmmm I thrive so hard. I never dream I will have a changed life and even do whatever I want . Even a citizen of another country with a good life. AM STILL THAT FIRE WOOD GIRL THAT GIVES HER mom joy and proud PLS always believe in yourself we can mountain if we believe in ourself.
Whenever you think ur down and feel hopeless just listen to this song and feel the bumps on ur skin grow and get up that chair and make that dream come true!
No ,he meant he didn't come to Lagos to count "bridge" not preach...it is common saying in lagos to mean that someone did not come for sightseeing but to make money and not to be carried away by your surroundings.
I was not even able to be a plantain seller, but i am now talking in millions.What a miracle working God we serve.Praises to your mighty name YAHWEH, and many many thanks for your love and grace in my life and that of my family
This is one of my favorite songs, it takes hard work and determination to reach your goals, but only our Heavenly Father YHWH can make it come to pass. As a Master's Degree student who will be graduating next year and a business owner, I give YHWH all the glory. I stay humble and continue to build an empire that can help others. From humble roots in Akwa Ibom to Atlanta, USA.
He's talking about selling plantains in his own particular case. But the song, generally, is about struggling in life till you arrive at the end of the tunnel of your struggles and achieve success. Peace!
Gone are those days. I be Edo boy i grow for Benin City, Ikpoba Hill. I remember those day i dey trek from Depot to Ramat part on daily basis dey go school ( Army Day). Thank God for my life today. Nobody knows God's plan for you tomorrow.
O boy see open confession ooooo. Well nothing wey i no sell, i sell pure water, yams, pap, bread, egg roll, minerals, orange, okro and cherry. But today see me i be like queen. traveling from one country to another. Dat is to tell you that no condition is permanent
This music is just my story... Thank you timaya... Believe in yourself That's the only way you can make it.. i used to sell plantain as well but today a Manager of one of the worlds best brands of frozen yogurt @Pinkberry
I'm here to re-watch this video again because of Timaya and Daddy Freeze's interview when they were discussing about empress Njamah...I love you Timaya from day 1...My most respected artist in Naija...My love for you still remains thesame till date.
Even though I was born in London, I know the struggle some of my people go through in Africa but hold tight and have faith one day you’ll be someone important in society and respected. I first heard this song 5 months ago while I was visiting my sister and ever since I’d fallen in love with it. I sleep to this song, wake up to it, have it in repeat when I drive to and from work. November 2017 still listening to it and I don’t it’s ever gonna get old. Love
when i was 15yrs of age i use to sell plantain in oshodi aswell but after 10yrs, look at me now...my life turned around....am 25 and now still selling plantain in ketu.
Guy na true u dey talk, I be Benin boy, Edo state na my home town. Na rabbit me and my guys dey kill dey sell that year, but now we flexing in America my whole team broda na God oo. Waytin men don see for this life ehh all glory to God we survive.

I first heard him sing in 2011 while driving in one nigerians boys card. He put on the CD n said that was his classmate back in Nigeria. never heard of him before but now whenever I listen to this song it brings me back to Spain dancing in the car with the open windows, wind in my hair n sun on my face. loooooove it

This song is one of the best ever made in Africa, even the video clip was ahed of the competition at the time. underrated song ... A fan from Ivory Coast
i also had the same experience in naija, but I never sold crops but I fetched water like a bitch whether its 2am or not, my parents never gave a damn, you must fetch that water. when I go back home and I look at the distance I say to my self" how did I do it back then I need taxi for this journey. imagine carrying 50gallon jerican, walking 2-3 miles ha. regardless i'm thankful to God. 4th yr medical student in uk
This song is alĺ about me,i was just a common paper sellar,this song gave me joy when ever I hear it..till this day I love this son plantain boy.da year in Liberia it was my favorite song. ..timaya u re the best. ..
God will answer our prayers in 2014! Like Timaya,we shall move from being a nobody to a somebody and we shall move from selling plantain to becoming rich boys! Amen!
This is a universal message of a person coming from the bottom of society and getting to the top of their game through self belief. Thank you Timaya for reminding us that it doesn't matter how we start up in life for we can work our way up to achieve and eventually live our dreams.
oh love love this jam so much cus its remains me of my days back at home wen i was selling boild corn in street. thank u jesus for ur endless blessing on me

I’m Cameroonian, my regular speech when I nail something “I no come Lagos to come preach”. 😂
No ,he meant he didn't come to Lagos to count "bridge" not preach...it is common saying in lagos to mean that someone did not come for sightseeing but to make money and not to be carried away by your surroundings.
I was not even able to be a plantain seller, but i am now talking in millions.What a miracle working God we serve.Praises to your mighty name YAHWEH, and many many thanks for your love and grace in my life and that of my family
