Winner of the 2007 West Africa Idol, Timi Dakolo, gave the peak of performance at the 2018 Future Awards when he delivered his hit song, “There’s a Cry’’, to the standing ovation of the audience.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Dakolo was among the guest artists at the awards termed “Nobel Prize for Young Africans’’, held at the Balmoral Convention Centre in the early hours of Monday.
