Tiwa Savage has said Nigerian men may have charm and cash, but when it comes to genuine romance, they fall short. Her honesty is sparking fresh conversations about love, money, and healing.
- Tiwa spoke on the podcast Thoughts In A Culli, saying Nigerian men “aren’t romantic.”
- She acknowledged their style and generosity but said she’s no longer interested in surface-level gestures.
- Her views echo frustrations shared by many women navigating modern Nigerian dating culture.
- Tiwa also reflected on her 2018 divorce, blaming her ex for the emotional toll.
- She described how the experience, including postpartum depression, reshaped her personality and public image.
Tiwa’s comments go deeper than dating. They touch on the emotional exhaustion many women feel when expected to “do everything right,” but still get hurt. Her openness about depression, divorce, and self-reinvention shows how personal pain can fuel public strength — and provoke cultural introspection. Behind the glamour is a woman asking for more than “swag and cash” — she wants sincerity.
