Timini Egbuson Career

Timini’s dream was to train and practice as a child psychologist, but then fate has its way of placing you where it designed for you. While Timini was in the university, he worked part-time with his sister – Dakore, as her personal assistant.

After obtaining his BSc, he got a job with an e-commerce company as a marketing executive. So he worked a 9 – 5 job for two and a half years before transiting into Nollywood. Timini wasn’t fulfilled doing a 9 – 5, so his search for fulfillment launched him into Nollywood.

Timini commenced his career as an actor in 2012 with M-net’s soap opera – Tinsel. Over 4000 people were present at the audition, yet he was one of the few chosen by the director in charge.
