South African OAP, Bonang Matheba says
Mavin First Lady, Tiwa Savage is the only
recognised female musician in Nigeria.
In an interview with Tribune, she said that
the music industry of her country celebrates
female entertainers more than Nigeria’s,
which to her mind, has bigger clout and
should therefore set good examples.
Bonang said “For instance, Tiwa Savage is
the only popular female voice in Nigeria that
is greatly celebrated, while the rest of the
country honours and recognises men more.
This is an area of observation that can be
more elevated. Our (South Africa’s) industry
is far much kinder to our female
counterparts and genuinely celebrates them
and allows them to shine’.
