Tiwa Savage explains how Nigeria's harsh economic realities drive the emergence of superstar entertainers. She highlights the resilience of Nigerian youth, noting that poverty and adversity push many to harness their creative talents. This comes after Davido remarks on Nigeria's economic struggles, including high oil prices and exchange rates.
Nigerian music icon Tiwa Savage has shed light on the harsh realities of life in Nigeria, attributing the rise of local entertainers to the country's challenging socio-economic conditions. Speaking on Shopping The Sneakers show, Savage emphasized the resilience of Nigerian youth, who faced with poverty and hardship, have turned to their creative talents as a means of survival.
According to Savage, the struggles of daily life in Nigeria drive many individuals to hustle for success, with the country fostering a unique breed of artists who thrive against the odds. "To survive in Nigeria is something else, so that's why the artists that come out of Nigeria are just like hustlers," she stated.
Her comments come in the wake of similar remarks by Afrobeat star Davido, who had recently warned black Americans against relocating to Nigeria due to the country's economic challenges. Davido criticized the nation’s worsening economic situation, including high oil prices and an unstable exchange rate, pointing out the paradox of a major oil-producing country suffering from inflated fuel costs
