Whether you fall among her teeming fans or you happen to be her sworn enemy, if there is something you crave, it is to see music diva, Tiwa Savage perform excellently well today at King Charles III’s coronation.
Nigerian will surely be on the edge of their seat when one of their own, Tiwa Savage is called upon to perform at the big stage. Love or loathe her, nothing else makes one feel proud of being a Nigerian than this.
Although, mixed reactions have continued to trail the announcement that the Grammy Award-nominated singer will showcase her talent at the British monarch’s coronation
Olayori Saheed, could not hold back his excitement when he stumbled upon the post on Instagram that “Our Own” ( meaning of Tiwa) will be performing in the coronation of Prince Charles at Westminster Abbey on May 6
“Jesu ooo” a top Maritime officer in Apapa Seaport could not believe his eyes as onlookers wondered what necessitated his scream
” I feel so proud of being a Nigerian because it takes a lot of hard work and global recognition to earn such an invitation from the royal family, he told iwitnesslive.com smiling. I can’t wait for Saturday to come,” he said joyfully as he settled down to a bowl of hot rice with plantain.
Expectedly, Tiwa will join the lives of Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and other artists as an African female music goddess plans to give a slice of what this African slay mama is made of.
That King Charles III, who ascended the throne eight months ago following the death of Queen Elizabeth II will be officially crowned is not what is of great interest to Nigerians, it is whether Tiwa will live up to their expectations before the preying eyes of global critics
Can Tiwa Make It Happen?
Although some Nigeria felt Tiwa should have turned down the invitations to play at the coronation just like other global stars like Adele, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, and Robbie Williams, but it is another huge opportunity to prove that she can rub shoulders with music heavyweights and there is no better platform to prove that. Will she kill it? The clock is ticking!
