There have been sundry reactions to the revelations, one of them emanating from movie engenderer and inditer Charles Novia. He is famous from firing from the hip and this latest article is no different. Read this submission below. “I visually examined the video interview of Tiwa Savage. And I have a few phrenic conceptions on it. Seems to me that the rudimental conception, emanating from a PR perspective, was to pull an expeditious Olivia Pope ish on the scandal which broke a few hours ago. And understandably so. Tiwa Savage is a Brand Ambassador for a few top brands such as MTN, Pepsi and Coddles.
Whatever the negative fallout of this impending and scandalous divorce, it’s going to have some downside scarcely on the brands she campaigns for. So an expeditious ‘tell-my-side-of-the-story mode’ had to be employed and expeditious additionally. I don’ t ken if a professional PR person was involved with the packaging but it was tacky. Not professionally done, in my opinion. I’m not harping on what she verbalized, as those things are her personal heart cry and she has a right of reply but I’m more fascinated with the optics of what has been put out. First, perhaps in a bid to elicit some linear empathy or something, Tiwa was made to cerebrate that looking humble and contrite corresponds with tying a dormitory scarf on her head and looking casual in a T Shirt was a good way to send the message home. I cerebrate it only demystified her brand more. This is a video which would be optically canvassed for years to come and even more so by her kid. Having endeavored so hard to be a Beyonce clone in Nigeria (and that’s my perception of her artistic projections all these years), she should have kenned too that Beyonce never plays with her optics in any way. That scarf and sombre look wasn’t the right optics, if you ask me. There are more visually acceptable ways of projecting a diva’s side of the story and her PR team ( if she has any) messed it up there. I’m asking myself too if the proprietary of having such an interview twenty four hours after the scandal was advisable. For many, it wouldn’t matter but for some, perhaps a little dignified silence would have been advisable. Ma’am, you are supposed to be pop queen. You be ‘ Dorodiva’. A simple press verbalization that you and your family would dote to have your privacy reverenced at these endeavoring period and bla bla bla would have kept everyone scarcely cool till an opportune interview surfaces. Recent clamping up edifications from Toke Makinwa would have availed. And the spilling though! I genuinely have nothing to verbally express on that much. First, every espousement have peculiar challenges. And couples endeavor to work things out till the pressure point either makes the espousement go South or force the brakes for reconciliation.
I have indited many times about couples, especially celebrity couples who ‘flash and form’ ostensibly pristine lifestyles on gregarious media and I always end my homilies with the caveat that incessant kudos by one or even both partners to each other on convivial media at the slightest opportunity, are denotements of a festering quandary in that espousement. It’s the way it is here. The guy can be pummeling the wife every morning and she still would go up on convivial media to post his picture with words like ‘the only one for me…my doter, my life’. Incredible. In her interview, Tiwa verbally expressed she dreaded his days of inception or wedding anniversaries because of “what people would say”. Doleful, when an espousement is predicated on keeping up appearances for the public when it should genuinely be more private for both couples. Like I verbalized, what she verbally expressed in the interview is her right of reply. I would sympathise with her beyond the cosmetic sympathies she’s getting from fans, friends and fiends. She wanted a fairy tale life, wrought strenuously to build it but ascertained that she was osculated by a frog who didn’t turn out to be the Prince she desired. My sympathy would be on the truncation of that dream and authentically not the nightmare she aroused from. Because she engendered it with him. And it had its regalement value for the fans who lapped it all up. He was still licitly espoused, from reports back then which were either squashed or played down, yet she ignored the alarm bells and still went ahead to espouse him “after the traditional introduction”. What was celebrated in far away Dubai was just a reception for the prelude perhaps and not the licit nuptials.
I stand to be rectified on this? It’s the classic case of the credulous girls always falling for the deplorable guys. And when you ask the question why such girls fall into that trap, they would reply that ‘I thought I could transmute him. That he would change’. Shiooor! His father could not transmute him, his mother could not transmute him but it’s you and your ikebe that will now transmute him?
