Nigerian singer and mother of one, Tiwa Savage has replied a Twitter who wants her to be his woman, but he is broke.
The Nigerian man on Twitter, @SNanyome, recently took to the platform to state that Tiwa Savage is his type when it comes to dating but that was highly impossible since he isn’t financially buoyant and such a lady would have needs.
According to him, it would be impossible to get someone like her considering he is broke.
Tiwa Savage responded to the tweet, saying she isn’t hard to get but hard to earn
The talented singer may have given some men hope after she took to the platform to reveal she isn’t hard to get.
While some were of the opinion that no woman was inaccessible, others believed with the right amount of confidence, nothing was impossible.
“My type is like Tiwa Savage but How on earth when I am broke. First, we work than we shoot hard. My type like things and am aware of it, I can’t fight that,” he wrote.
Surprisingly, the beautiful singer responded to the tweet to clarify something. She wrote: “Nah, I’m not hard to get, I’m hard to earn.”

His words ;
“Last week was not a good one for me, I’m just trying to go through these emotions.
“But at the end of today , the emotions will leave.
“There is a lot for me to learn and I’ve been distracted by some things and not being myself as much as I’ll love too.
“I still want to experience more and I’ve not achieved what I hope to in the house before leaving.”
“I’ll have to make sure I have lot of people listening to my music before I leave here and three weeks
“I want to be one of the biggest artistes in Africa and I need to stay more in this house to achieve more of these experiences.
“Music is my number one priority”.
Laycon has released a song with Reminisce and other tracks before he got into the reality show.

The former minister, who is being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, for alleged fraud running into billions of dollars said ;
“The ones that have swag, the Yahoo Yahoo boys as my son would say; these in short, are the role models they are looking at. These are the ones that reinforce negative societal norms and values.
“This is a travesty of an unfolding tragedy for us. Why have I spent time talking about fatherless homes and the impact it has on our children? The truth of the matter is that an irresponsible boy tends to become an irresponsible man and it is therefore a vicious cycle. If you plant yam, you cannot harvest plantain.”
Big Brother Naija ‘lockdown’ housemates witnessed another ‘fight main event’ immediately after the live eviction show between Lucy and Nengi.
Although the cause of the fight was unknown, both ladies engaged in a hot exchange of words as they hurled insults at each other.

Big Brother Naija housemate, Erica, has finally stated the status of her relationship with rumored love interest, Kiddwaya.
Show host, Ebuka, showed his inquisitive side as he grilled Erica on the details about the ‘love triangle’ between herself, Kiddwaya and Laycon.

Laycon agreed that he asked Erica for space because he needs to lookout for himself and also keep Erica happy so her action does not depend on his feelings.
Nigerians voted for their favorite housemate this past week, and the bottom four were, Eric, Trikytee, Kaisha and Tochi.
We saw the housemates vote for to be immediately evicted from the Big Brother Naija Lockdown show.
Below is how Nigerians voted for their favourite housemate; (The result below is for the BOTTOM EIGHT)
The Big Brother Naija lockdown season saw its second eviction on Sunday night with housemates, Eric and Tochi leaving the house.
It was a double eviction night… On Sunday, August 09, 2020, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced Eric and Tochi as the second set of housemate to exit the house.
Their exit comes after spending a total of twenty one days in the house. Four housemates were put up for possible, comprising, Trikytee, Kaisha, Eric, Tochi.
The eventual eviction was according to votes of the remaining housemates.
The housemates were granted the opportunity to choose who would be sent home today. The HoH hard veto power if there was a tie…
All housemates were initially up for eviction excluding Ozo and Dorathy by the virtue of being Head of House and Deputy Head of House.
Tochi and Eric exit comes after Ka3na and Lilo’s eviction last week. The Big Brother Naija reality TV show for the year 2020 started Sunday, July 19th, 2020.
The third housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother Naija house, Eric Akhigbe, has revealed his urge to reconnect with his love interest, Lilo.
Eric who was speaking with Ebuka shortly after his eviction, admitted Lilo’s eviction hurt his game because she was the one he was ‘closest’ to, thus it was hard to connect with other housemates once she’d left the house.
He said he can’t wait to get back with her and he is fully abreast of the situation with her having a boyfriend outside the house.
On his plans going forward, he said he’s going to focus on his fitness, modelling career and might venture into acting.
Nigerians are reacting on Twitter and Facebook after Ebuka revealed the voting results of this week.
Apparentlky, the bottom four are: Eric, Trikytee, Kaisha and Tochi.

Comedienne cum actress, Ada Ebere aka Ada la Pinky, is infuriated that her big boobs have become objects of attraction to men, and even women, who can’t take their eyes off them.
While speaking with Inside Nollywood, she revealed that her big boobs, which are her unique selling points, are natural even though, some people think she had breast enlargement done.
“People see my boobs before they see me. Whenever I go out, men and women stare at my boobs before even looking at my face. So, I think my boobs are my unique selling points. I didn’t do breast enlargement, they are all natural. I never liked big boobs. I’d have preferred a portable size but here I am blessed with large ones and I am grateful.
However, I might do butts enlargement to align with my boobs, because I have always been a fan of big booties. I want to have big butts. Also, the sexual harassment I face comes only from ladies,” she said.
However, Ada bemoaned her pains and discomfort for having large breasts.
“I can’t run. I find it difficult to run unless I hold my chest. Another challenge is that I can’t sleep on my chest; it has to be either upright or sideways. It was so painful during my growing up days” she said.
As expected, her tweet elicited mixed reactions, see some below ;

I actually don’t think Men are lazy. It’s more like a societal orientation, an average man is giving the false sense of reasoning that cooking is meant for only woman.
They assume that only women wrapper men cook in their family. African men need serious Education
