Nigerian popstar Tiwa Savage has made the BBC’s list of 100 inspirational and innovative women for 2017.
The singer excitedly shared the good news with fans on her Instagram account.
“OMG OMG OMG this is incredible…, she wrote, “BBC unveiled their list of 100 inspirational and innovative women of 2017 and I made the list ??????”
Now, that sounds like the sugar singer wasn’t expecting, and we’re left wondering whether BBC released the list without informing the recipients?
The Sugarcane singer revealed that “The list includes NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson and President Michelle Bachelet of Chile.”
That’s epic! “No be small thing oh!,” as Innocent Idibia aka 2Baba would say.

Savage also added in a retrospective tone that “It’s true when they say your brightest moments usually comes after your darkest times.”
With all decorum, we can’t comment on that! Who knows what private battles the singer might have waged?
The pop star in keeping with the spirit of the award, however, shared some words of inspiration with fans: “Keep your head up and work hard through it,” she said, “The same people laughing at you will celebrate you,” she added.
And with a special mention to the female folks, Savage continued, “Don’t let being a woman hinder you, I have and still have to fight to get people to respect and appreciate my work and not limit me because I am female so this really encourages me to keep pushing and breaking boundaries. Put God first, enjoy your life, love, be a good human and do what makes you happy. Don’t let anything hold you back because you are a mother, wife, young, older or a female “YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE A FOOTPRINT THAT WILL LAST IF YOU ARE ALWAYS WORKING ON TIPTOES” “Leymar Gbowee” ?,” she concluded.
Congratulations Tiwa Savage. Wishing you more success in your future endeavours.
