Tiwa Savage Hails The Resilient Nigerian Spirit

Tiwa Savage has been making headlines following the release of her debut lead role film ‘Water and Garri,’ but the songstress has attributed her success to the resilient spirit of Nigerians.

The “Koroba’’ crooner’s 28-year career in the entertainment industry has been nothing short of successful, and when she was asked to describe Nigerians during an interview with British radio channel Kiss Fresh, she gave a hearty laugh before saying that “Nigerians are hustlers.”

“I don’t even know if there’s a word. I feel like we are special, and we make our mark anywhere.

“Even if you’re a taxi driver, a school teacher, a doctor, or wherever it is, we will be the best at that.”

Tiwa, who was born in Nigeria but raised in the United Kingdom, has never lost her Nigerian roots and has praised her fellow Nigerians for their “grit.”

She further described Nigerians as the “best at whatever it is we’re doing.”

“I feel like we have that grit in us to just make it in whatever field we are in; we have that quality. We are everywhere.”

Tiwa’s career is proof of the ‘grit’ she talked about. She has won several awards, such as the MTV Africa Music Awards, Headies, Soundcity MVP Awards, and more.

She has also collaborated with other top international acts like Beyonce, Brandy, Wizkid, Davido, and more.
