Celebrities » How I got stoned with pure water bags-TIWA SAVAGE by: Lanrhey(m) .:. Sat, 16 Apr, 2016 - 02:32:24:am GMT

Tiwa Savage and pure water bags? Two phrases you would hardly have thought existed together. However, it did happen according to the singer. According to Kemi Filani's blog, the Mavin singer made this known during a recent speaking engagement at the Youth Enterprise Conference 2016 where she talked about how she was embarrassed on stage at her first major performance upon her return to the country as an aspiring R&B artiste. My first performance at Kennis Easter Fiesta was a disaster! I was stoned with pure water bags because I was singing English songs and blowing too much phonetics.” Tiwa was quoted as saying. The singer then added that this experience inspired her breakthrough single �" Kele Kele Love. She said: I ran back to my husband who was my boyfriend at that time and cried ‘my people are not accepting me, I don't know what to do.' He told me to start singing songs that they could relate with. And that was how I came up with Kele Kele Love.”

What an experience. Well whether you like it or not you are in Nigeria and you must give them what they need because fans here will prefer to relate with you for what they know. She had an ugly experience and now it is making way for her her because she changed. I believe now songs she is doing are mind blowing and of great impact to the fans because she is now a star. That is exactly what Nigerias wanted from her. Let her keep shining and continue to do more songs that the society can relate with and know her for it. People love her now and are ready to do anything to see her and hear her perform on stage. She is a good singer and she really prove to Nigerias that she has gone to the other side of the world and has seen and gotten what it takes to make us proud. We love you and we love your songs. Keep doing great works for us. You are good.

Why will you just be a celebrity and be singing only songs in English Nigerians love our culture and wanna feel your vibes they love your originality, I don�t get it why celebrities of nowadays like to copy other people culture, by that I mean the foreigners culture and their way of music, we should use our style to affect the world that�s why I love flavor techno and olamide they will speak the language and are proud of it, if people can�t accept you for who you are it means they are fake and if you try to change to please people, it means you�re fake, so always promote Nigeria with your songs!!!

Thank God she decided to take another step of faith. If it has been some people, they will stop singing from that very moment.

But she kept the shame aside and took another step of faith.

If she sings such song now that she is a popular artistes, people will accept it. That happened then as a challenge to her that she needed to face.

This is a lesson that, when you want to be great. There will actually be an admirable in your way, and you must find a way of overcoming that obstacle.

The first thing, is to realize where the fault came from and then work towards how you can overcome it. You don't have to stop just because of a situation you've failed to realize it's cause.

We were Africans first before colonization made us want to do everything like the western world.

This is a wake up call to all artist that we need to be ourselves first and not what we were made to be,let's not forget our origin.

Drop songs that will tell us about us

This is so funny, I trust Nigerians

Though I'd say it was extreme, because that single action for some people would really discuss them and possibly kill their career.

I'm sure she would never forget this experience. There's one thing about delivering services, it must be what the customer wants. It is quite obvious that then she didn't know that to catch their attention she should sing songs that they could easily relate with.

Well it is refreshing to find out that the event did teach her a lesson and serve as a stepping stone to her success.

Hmmmmmm.. Disappointment is blessings in disguise truthfully if we but see the situation as it is, study it and turns it around positively to our favor. I reckon with Tiwa and congratulate her on the turn around she used the disappointment to now be what she calls her success.

Many really faces disappointment and bad times but fails to see the possibilities of fortune they can turn this to be. Some eventually could have ended their career from such incidence and that would have been the end of it.

But she studied the situation, went for advice and she acted accordingly and it turned out to be her testimony today. This is worth emulating and with this act she is qualified to counsel anyone going through this type of situation.

This has also touched me and I now see that when a man's back is on the floor, it does not mean it is over, but a man needs to get up, dust himself and prepare to face the situation again and hold the bull at the horn strongly. Eventually things will fall in place...

I cheer Tiwa's courage and success story in her chosen career.

Every artiste needs to get connected with their target audience.

So it's necessary to launch yourself with what people can relate with.

I have also noticed that every artiste has their kind of fans or supporters no matter what the artiste brings to the entertainment or talent table .

There's a lot to learn from her story. I'm sorry she was been embarrassed that way. One of the things I'm teaching myself not to forget is where I come from.

I want to go to the ends of the world, I want to learn as many languages as I can learn. However, I must never forget where I come from, I must never forget my language.

That is called being loyal to one's culture. As I'm writing this, I just remember that whenever I'm in school and mum calls, she'll always tell me in Yoruba dialect "Never forget the house you're coming from".

I didn't pay attention to it at first but these days, I'm starting to pay attention to it. I can say that it has saved me from being involved with things that are not so healthy for me. I just have to remember her words.

When I meet someone who prefers to communicate in Yoruba, I am glad to change my language. This helps me to be reminded of who I am, and where I came from.

Also, it helps me not to forget how to speak my language. Therefore I admonish us all not to forget who we are, and where we came from, it matters a lot.
