Tiwa Savage has called on music icon Beyonce to lend her voice to the ongoing #EndSARS protests in Nigeria.

Tiwa, in an Instagram live session, spoke about the state of the nation and the ongoing agitation for an end to police brutality. “Nigeria is bad,” she began in a pensive mood.

Then Tiwa went on to talk about the virtues and thriving spirit of Nigerians in spite of the bad state of the nation. She also called out privileged Nigerians who feel the protests does not concern them.
