Tiwa Savage has attributed the surge of entertainers emerging from Nigeria to the “harsh realities of poverty” in the country.
Speaking on the Shopping The Sneakers show, the singer 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. 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,” she said.
The songstress’ remark comes after Davido advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria, citing the country’s economic challenges.
“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am no going to show the bad parts,” he said.
“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well.
“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”
