Afropop and R&B singer Tiwa Savage has sent a word of advice, asking people to operate with love and kindness.
Tiwa in a street interview with Dose of Society on Saturday, stated that social media has affected how people view life and has indirectly put pressure on its users.
The singer advised people to strive for authenticity.
“My message to the world is that we need to show a bit more love. 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 said.
Tiwa also reminded her fans to live in the moment, stating that the media only shows a curated version of people.
“When you put things into perspective, you’ll start appreciating yourself more. Live in the moment,” she said.
Tiwa also stated that if she could advice her younger self, she would tell her to take charge.
“Figure it out, get up and figure it out. 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. If god wakes me up, I have an opportunity to figure it out”, she said.
