If Tiwa Savage can say she wasn’t even aware of what was happening in her own country until another celebrity in her industry brought it to her attention, it starts to make sense why a lot of politicians and elites often come across as tone-deaf.
The reality is, many of them don’t live in the same world the average person does. The people they interact with don’t deal with this same daily struggles, so those issues rarely make it into their conversations. When something doesn’t affect your immediate environment, it’s easy for it to feel distant or invisible and in most cases it’s not their fault.
And you’ll be here on X thinking that the entire world has seen your 1.2 million banger post, not knowing it’s just a very tiny fragment. . In reality, you’re often only speaking to a small, specific slice of the internet not the whole nation.
This world is so big, glad she’s using her platform to speak out on this insecurity. ❤️
“This kidn@pping incident that happened in Oyo State, I’m just seeing it lately after Spyro’s post came up. The issue is not trending enough as it should.”
