Crashed Marriage: Nigerians react to Tiwa Savage's interview

We reported yesterday (April 29) that pop singer Tiwa Savage was planning to address the issue behind her husband  Tee Billz’ allegations via Instagram a day before, possibly through a pre-recorded syndicated video. Later at night, the tell-all interview with
 ThisDay‘s Azuka Ogujiuba on her marriage crisis surfaced online. Click here for the full transcript of the interview.

Tiwa crying during the interview.

Moments later, it became a buzzing topic on social media, with Tiwa, Edible Catering and Tbillz leading Nigeria Twitter trends for over five hours.  A lot was said as Nigerians kept vigil over the interview. Here’s all the good, the bad and the bizarre viewpoints shared… 

And on Tiwa’s side, how can you know such negatives about a mans’s character and still marry him. They even did big wedding. A whole Dubai

Tiwa successfully described her husband as a monster, a cheat, a thief, irresponsible, a liar etc etc.. Why did you marry him? — Omo Jesu (@tosinadeda) April 29, 2016

Tiwa try shaa. I believe 85% of what she said to be true. Na this stupid age pressure for our culture dey make ladies marry anything ☹️

— Olaudah Equiano® (@fickky) April 29, 2016

cause they were both acting “@TCharis_DRO: MVP is that Tiwa interviewer, didnt even show emotion…or present tissue, cold cold soul…” — Tricia (@Triciaduchess) April 30, 2016

Tiwa: cocaine is for rich people, no? Interviewer: and very capital intensive LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I AM DEAD

— Àduké (@larasnookums) April 30, 2016

Tiwa said she didn’t know what he had posted and had been sleeping, but when they woke her up she thought he was found dead ? Um — Edible Caterer (@Kim_Baakop3) April 30, 2016

Beyonce dropped that Freedom track for women like Tiwa Savage.

— Nigerian God (@Echecrates) April 30, 2016

Tiwa’s husband is the definition of a Yoruba demon man I rebuke it. — celine. (@CelineLadss) April 30, 2016

After the fiasco at the bridge and seeing the Tiwa interview, it made me realise that our women go through a lot in marriage.

— Okoli (@Nonso_okoli) April 30, 2016

Bet wait o…did Tiwa and Tee not do boyfren and gelfren? Abi na arranged marriage? They sound like two people who barely knew each other. — Orwi Manny Ameh (@Nativeson_SY) April 30, 2016

If Tiwa’s husband really did all that to her that’s just pure wickedness from the stealing to the cheating part and then drugs really? Smh

— Kimberly Reese✨❣ (@madeindelta) April 30, 2016

Tiwa: Cocaine is for rich people, you know Interviewer: And very capital-intensive too Wow. What an olodo — Beloved (@nkori_tohwo) April 30, 2016

my favorite part of Tiwa’s interview as to be:

Journalist: And you guys made us cry in Dubia! I died after that. — Bolu (@Bolu_olofofo) April 30, 2016

And so many of us see it, know it, and choose to be in denial. When a woman is brave enough to speak of abuse like Tiwa, they shame her. — Yellow Paw Paw (@SecretdAfrique) April 30, 2016

Tiwa’s interview ❤️

Brave women exist. Let’s pay attention to the signs. Character away from the limelight is EVERYTHING! — Kanayo (@doctorkanayo) April 30, 2016

Marriages break up. I’m sure if Tbillz didn’t go off yesterday Tiwa wouldn’t have granted an interview. — Cinderella Man (@Osi_Suave) April 29, 2016

Tbillz na idiot Sha after stealing that huge amt of money u till wan commit suicide the Devil himself won’t even be happy wen u go 2 hell

— -RREZZY (@mikerrezzy) April 29, 2016

I feel Tiwa did what was right . Defending herself and protecting her image.And telling it all. I believe her and pray for her . — Jinmi Abduls (@Jinmi_Abduls) April 30, 2016

Lord forgive me, I should be sleeping but instead Im doing amebo on the Tiwa stuff

— Bro. Michael (@migiokafor) April 30, 2016

When tiwa was crying I was waiting for the interviewer to pass over the tissues but instead she just let her swim in her tears — 欢乐 ☯ (@HeyItsJoy) April 30, 2016

Getting tired of these “Tiwa should have kept her mouth shut /chilled tweets”. The only thing she did wrong was that scarf bruh.

That lady that conducted that interview with Tiwa should never ever interview anyone ever again.
