Award-winning singer Tiwa Savage has called for greater love, kindness, and self-acceptance, especially in a world dominated by social media.
In a recent interview with ‘Dose of Society’, Savage reflected on how social media often distorts reality, creating pressure and insecurity among users. She urged people to shift their focus inward and live more authentically.
“My message to the world is that we need to show a bit more love,” she 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.”
Savage reminded her audience that social media only showcases fragments of people’s lives. “When you put things into perspective, you’ll start appreciating yourself more. Live in the moment,” she added.
The singer also shared advice she would give her younger self: to trust her journey, remain persistent, and take full ownership of her life rather than depending on others.
“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.
