Tiwa Savage Urges Fans To Embrace Self-Love Beyond Social Media Illusions
Nigerian music sensation Tiwa Savage has encouraged people to embrace self-love, kindness, and authenticity, especially in an era where social media often distorts reality.
In a recent chat with Dose of Society, the award-winning singer expressed concern over how online platforms can create unrealistic expectations and pressure among users.
“My message to the world is that we need to show a bit more love,” Savage said. “Especially when we look at social media, I just see things that are make-believe. We all know it’s not real, but we’re still putting pressure on ourselves when all we need to do is love a little bit more.”
She emphasized that social media only presents curated snippets of people’s lives and urged her audience to live in the present and appreciate themselves more. “When you put things into perspective, you’ll start appreciating yourself more. Live in the moment,” she added.
Sharing personal reflections, Tiwa advised her younger self—and fans—to trust their individual journeys, remain persistent, and stop depending solely on others.
“Figure it out, get up and figure it out,” she said. “I know you think everyone has the manual for life. The only thing you owe yourself is to wake up, be present and try. Even if you fail or win, you’d figure it out. Nobody has your life; we may have examples and templates and people we look up to, but nobody has your exact dreams, so figure it out for yourself.”
Tiwa Savage remains one of Nigeria’s most influential entertainers, using her platform to advocate for mental well-being, self-empowerment, and resilience.
