The talented singer shared lovely photos of himself on his Instagram page on Wednesday to mark the occasion.
In the caption that accompanied the post, Dakolo expressed his excitement at the opportunity to witness and celebrate the age which he described as the “4th floor of life”.
“Happy birthday to me. I am so overjoyed. I can’t believe I am 40. It was just yesterday I was writing WAEC and doing revision on my PN Okeke,” he wrote.
“It was just yesterday I was dreaming working in Shell and stay in shell camp. Take my granny abroad and buy her everything. Anyways. I just want to live a quality life and laugh as hard as I can. The 4th floor of life looks great.”

Dakolo began singing in church at the age of twelve. He later joined the group Purple Love as a founding member in 2003. They dominated a Port Harcourt club but disbanded in 2005 as its members sought university education.
