Afro Pop singer, Niniola, has revealed how her journey to fame came to be and how her most recent hit, ‘Maaradona’ changed her life.<\/p>\n

According to her, after she dropped the song, people started reaching out to her from different ends.<\/p>\n

This was in a chat with\u00a0Off -The-Top reality show, where she revealed that her success is simple ‘preparation meeting opportunity’.<\/p>\n

She however, stated that she wanted to prove to the world that she can sing.<\/p>\n

Excerpts from Niniola’s interview below;<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s the grace of God but as they say, when hard work and preparation meets opportunity, it just happens. After Project Fame, I just wanted to prove myself. I knew I could sing but I just wanted more. I loved to dance and wanted to incorporate these two things.<\/em><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t know anybody in the industry. So, I went online in search for the best producer in Nigeria. This was in 2013. Sarz\u2019s name kept coming up.<\/em><\/p>\n

I reached out to him and he requested that I give him a hit song. I dropped \u201cIbadi\u201d and that\u2019s how it happened.<\/em><\/p>\n

One song changed my life. I just did the song (Maradona) and knew that, like every other ones, it was good. But when we dropped it, it went boom. People and artistes from South Africa started reaching out to me.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
