DIALOGUE
Battle of The Apatas – Between Teni and Niniola Who’s The Better Singer?
Between Teni or Teni Makanaki (as she’s popularly called), and her Sister, Niniola, who do you think deserves to be called a better singer? Find out below.
Teni is an entertainer, singer and songwriter that has blessed Nigerians with good music since she started her career in 2006. She’s signed to Dr Dolor Entertainment.
Teni’s first official that shot her to the limelight spot was ‘Case‘ and ever since then, she’s been consistently dropping major hits and various insane collaborations.
Niniola on the other hand is also a singer/songwriter and entertainer signed to three different record labels, IROKING, NINIOLA and DRUMROLL RECORDS.
She participated in the sixth season of Project Fame West Africa in 2013 and since then has been a joy to watch as she constantly gives us some nice hits to dance to.
What most people might not know is that both girls are actually sisters and daughters of retired Nigerian Army Brigadier-General S. O. Apata (who was assassinated on January 8, 1995). But that’s not why we are here.
