Renowned Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, has opened up about the harsh realities of living in Nigeria. In a recent interview, the music star emphasized the difficulties of surviving in the country, particularly for its youth.
Tiwa Savage attributed the surge of talented entertainers emerging from Nigeria to the “harsh realities of poverty” in the country. She highlighted the resilience and determination of Nigerian youths, saying that the challenging living conditions have pushed many to explore their creative talents.
“When you come to Nigeria, you will understand why we breed so many superstars,” Tiwa Savage said. “To survive in Nigeria is something else, so that’s why the artists that come out of Nigeria are just like hustlers. They are just hustling.”
Tiwa Savage’s remarks come after fellow Nigerian artist, Davido, advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria due to the country’s economic challenges. Davido emphasized the difficulties of living in Nigeria, citing the high cost of living, poor infrastructure, and economic instability.
Tiwa Savage’s comments serve as a reminder of the everyday struggles faced by Nigerians, particularly the youth. Despite the challenges, many young Nigerians continue to showcase their talents and creativity, inspiring hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
