Teni discloses words to be written on her grave
Nigerian singer Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni, has revealed the inscription she wants on her gravestone.
The ‘Billionaire’ crooner stated that she wants her loved ones to write, “She lived life on her own terms”.
She revealed this in the most recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, presented by actor Temisan Emmanuel Ahwieh, alias Taymesan.
Teni said, “My father died when I was two years old. If you die today, life goes on. You don’t get to express yourself.
“Expressing yourself is very important. The people who judge you will die too. So they would die with their own stories. You die with your own story. I’m living my life because this is my way of letting the world know who I am.
“It’s my term to sing when I’m feeling down and when I’m feeling up. It’s my way of expressing myself. I’m not going to be here forever. None of us are leaving this world alive.
“On my grave, I want them to write, ‘She lived life on her own terms.’ Yes, I want to die happy. I’m going to die empty.
“A lot of people are carrying so much greatness in them but are too afraid to express themselves. Trust me, the graveyard is full of so many dreams and talents. Things that could have changed the world.”
