She said the latterā€™s harsh criticism made her think she was jealous of her.

Teni said, ā€œMy elder sister, the one thatā€™s older than Nini [Niniola], Doyin, maybe she was deceiving because she didnā€™t want to hurt me; she used to tell me I have a melodic voice whenever I sing during my childhood. Nini, on the other hand, would tell me my voice isnā€™t sweet. So, I thought she was jealous of me.”

She continued,

ā€œShe [Niniola] called me aside and told me not to let Doyin deceive me. In fact, she now said, ā€˜You sing from your stomach.ā€™ So, everytime Nini sings, I would watch her sing. So, I also started singing from my stomach.

ā€œThere was a time my school organised an event, I sang and the whole school stood up and was clapping for me. I said, ā€˜Iā€™ve arrived.ā€™ I went back home to tell Nini that I sang in school and everybody was clapping and she said I should sing want I sang. Also, I sang it and Nini too clapped for me. I said, ā€˜Okay, we are up to something.’ā€
