#Xenophobia:Tiwa Savage cancelled her invitation to perform in South Africa on the 21st September 2019 over the Xenophobic attacks on Nigerians, but it brought about mixed reactions

-



Tiwa Savage a Nigerian singer, celebrity, mother of one and a former artist with the Marvins Record took to her twitter account to announce her cancellation of the DSTV Delicious festival to hold on the 21st of September 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
But a lot of people on twitter (probably from the South Africans) felt cancelling it is not their problem, some mocked her for that decision as it will not change a thing while others applaud her for taking that bold step.

Read her tweet below and people's reactions:

''I refuse to watch the barbaric butchering of my people in SA. This is SICK. For this reason I will NOT be performing at the upcoming DSTV delicious Festival in Johannesburg on the 21st of September. My prayers are with all the victims and families affected by this''




Recall that for the past few days its been a sad moment for Nigerians in South Africa as the South Africans attacked Nigerians, killing, burning Nigerians properties and stealing from their shops.
This started again on Sunday 1st September 2019 and the Nigerian President reacted yesterday by delegating envoys to go to South Africa which they are to arrive tomorrow Thursday 5th September to Oversee the situation and how it can be handled.

A lot of Nigerian Celebrities in the likes of Cynthia Nwodiora (CeeC), Burna Boy, Franklin Ubi,   took to their various social media handles to condemn this horrible attack on Nigerians.

South Africans have forgotten so soon how Nigerians stood for them during the Apartheid saga.
We shall all come out strong my fellow Nigerians.

On this fateful day 20th November, I Miss Agidi Shetu Rose who was born into the family of late Asp. Barr. and Mrs Ameri Agidi Ashige. Lucky me I belong to states, maternally I'm of Jaba extraction from Kaduna State, while paternally I'm a Koro babe from Ashige,  Lafia L. G. A. of Nasarawa state. I had my nursery, primary and secondary education all in Jos, Plateau state; Plateau Urban Nursery school,  Salama Private school and GSS Laranto respectively. In my quest to further my education, even with the demise of our Dad in 2009, I never relented in my oars. I got admission into Nasarawa State College of Education, where I studied hard until I had my NCE in English French.  Thereafter, I proceeded to Nasarawa State University for my degree programme in French Language. Glory be to God with the support of Prof. Dinatu Iwala in securing the admission and voilà, I made it and graduated with a degree in BA French Hons, in addition to other certificates I r...

The following conversation transpired between myself and a man: Man: Which party are you voting for?  Me: ....... Party (party name withheld) Man: Why now? Vote for my party and I will give you 10,000 (Ten Thousand Naira) Me: I don't need it, so this is what your so called party has been doing? I doubt if most of us are ready to have that country (Nigeria) we dreamt of, when we still have most party leaders giving you peanuts to return to power. Not for your good but for them to have bags of money saved for themselves and for their unborn generations. They give you 10,000, bag of rice, salt, onions, wheel barrow, name them...and you think they are doing you well? They are giving you what is yours and snatching your future away from you for their families. How much do you care and how ready are you in supporting the Nigeria of your dreams? How ready are you to positively contribute your quota in having the Nigeria of your dreams? This is the onl...
