Kogi state-born promising song writer and singer, Young Tizee says serving humanity gives him utmost joy.
Young Tizee, who won the best young Afro beat artist of the year in Kaduna State recently, said this while fielding questions from journalists.
He expressed amazement at the realisation of the number of persons listening to his music. He said “I didn’t know that many people watch and listen to my song.”
In a chat with Journalists, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Money Matter Gang (MMG) emphasized that whatever one does, it is important one do it well because the world is seriously taking note. He added that hard work has brought him this far.
Aside the showbiz interests, Tizee emphasized that seeing people going through tough times pains him a lot, stating that it hurts more when it is obvious that he doesn’t have much resources to bless everyone according to his wish.
“I am a hustler and I believe in hustling. I always respect those who made their money through the legit means. Making money in this country is very hard right now. There is this saying that the only way is the hard way. This particular line always motivate me to do more and by his grace, God has never turned his back against me.”
Speaking on the state of the nation, he said things would work out fine for the country and the poor will enjoy the fruit of their labour one day; if the leadership at the national level can be fair to all, and the country is run purely and absolutely on merit.
The Wire de Wire crooner said, “Nigeria has every resources to be a promised land we all desire. It is made up of brilliant people. However, most of our leaders are not realists. We are full of tribal sentiments, and we are not honest. That is why the system is not working.”
He, however, frowned at how people criticise and judge others for striving through thick and thin in ensuring that they make ends meet. He added that people do not have any legal right to judge others.
“Today, many people put concerted efforts to find out the source of people’s fund, but they don’t leave out time, or have a thought of how these persons are suffering. I don’t belong to that category and I wished not to. I don’t judge people and I don’t want to be judged wrongly by others as well,” he said.
He called on Nigerian youths to take what they are doing seriously because of people who depend on them for survival.
He noted that, “We need to help one another and it should not be limited to family circle, because you don’t know who might help you tomorrow or your children.”
When asked on whether he is likely to move down to Lagos, Tizee said “like I told you earlier, it gives me joy to impact humanity. I can be any where, as long as I have a legitimate source of survival. However, one must not rule out such possibility, because this showbiz and entertainment industry could take one any where and at any time.”
