Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Tiwa Savage has revealed her thoughts about Nigerian men.
Speaking in a recent interview, the popular singer offered a candid view on their personality, charm, and romantic style.
During a sit-down with GRM Daily’s Thoughts in a Culli series, Savage did not hold back. She praised Nigerian men for their style but noted they often fall short in romance.
“Swaggalicious but not romantic”
According to Savage, Nigerian men know how to present themselves well. They are stylish, confident, and carry themselves with flair. She even used the playful word “swaggalicious” to describe them.
The mother of one, pointed out that this outer charm does not always match what she looks for in a relationship.
“Nigerian men do have swag, but they are not really romantic when it comes down to it,” she explained during the conversation.
Generous but missing something
Tiwa admitted that many Nigerian men can be generous. They are willing to spend money and show affection through gifts or flashy displays.
“They know how to swag and splash cash,” she said, smiling. Yet, for Savage, this is not enough. She is searching for something deeper and more meaningful.
“I’m not looking for that,” she added, making it clear she values romance and emotional connection over material gifts or outward style.
Looking for more than flash
For the Somebody’s Son hitmaker, true romance goes beyond surface-level actions. Her comments suggest she wants a partner who understands emotional connection, tenderness, and meaningful gestures — not just fashion or wealth.
While Nigerian men often impress with their charisma and financial generosity, she believes many miss the romantic side. She hopes for a love life where emotions take the front seat, not just expensive presents or public shows.
Fans react to her words
Following the interview, social media buzzed with reactions. Fans shared mixed opinions about Savage’s remarks.
Some agreed, saying Nigerian men often rely too much on money and appearances. Others felt she was being too harsh and believed many Nigerian men are, in fact, romantic.
On X (formerly Twitter), fans debated whether Savage’s views reflected her personal experiences or spoke to a wider truth.
Some even joked that she might be hinting at a new relationship standard or setting the stage for a romantic announcement.
A voice for women’s desires
Her words highlight a larger conversation around relationships in Nigeria. Many women want more than just financial security or stylish partners. They seek men who show care, affection, and emotional support.
Her comments also challenge some traditional ideas about romance in Nigerian culture, where men are often expected to “provide” but not necessarily focus on softer, emotional gestures. Savage is adding her voice to the push for more balanced, meaningful relationships.
A star who speaks her mind
The musician has always been known for speaking honestly. Whether in her music or interviews, she often shares her true feelings without fear.
This recent conversation is no different. By openly discussing what she wants in a partner, she offers a glimpse into her personal life while sparking a wider discussion on love, romance, and expectations.
As one of Africa’s biggest music stars, her opinions carry weight. Fans will likely continue to reflect on her words and discuss what romance really means in today’s world.
Conclusion
In the end, her message is clear: she wants more than flash and money. She is looking for real romance, genuine emotion, and deep connection. While Nigerian men may have the style and generosity, she believes many still need to work on the romance part.
Whether people agree or disagree, one thing is certain — Tiwa Savage’s words have once again captured public attention, adding another layer to the ongoing conversation about modern love and relationships in Nigeria.
