Nigerian superstar Tiwa Savage has disclosed that working on a new series of hers, “Water and Garri” which is directed by Meji Alabi has made her realise just how she could achieve anything she wants as long as she tried her best.
Tiwa said: “Executive producing was like me just putting my boss hat on and trying to be a boss lady in all aspects of my life. It was fun and it was stressful doing that and also starring in it. But it just showed me that I can do anything I put my mind to. There are so many things that I have dreams of accomplishing and now I’m really motivated.
While speaking on why the series has a similar title to her new and soon to be released EP, she said she still wanted a piece of her music in the series and wouldn’t alienate her action and music from one another.
Savage said: “I’ve always wanted to do acting. I’ve always wanted to do movies. Actually, that was my first love before music. So it felt like a full circle moment for me. I just felt it was time for me to finally get into that. I never wanted to let go of music, so it’s a great way for me to still embody that.
“It’s a story first of all told by a female from a female point of view. I’m always an advocate for that and I don’t think we have enough of that in the space of Nollywood and just in Africa in general. We do have but I don’t think we have enough. It’s refreshing for me. It’s a story about love, female empowerment,” she said.
Tiwa Savage’s produced film, the Prime Video original ‘Water and Garri’ will begin streaming on May 10, 2024.
