Renowned Nigerian singer/songwriter, Temilade Openiyi, widely known as Tems, has asserted that being a Nigerian is tough.
The ‘Me & U’ crooner, in an exclusive interview
on London-based Kiss FM, opened up about her experience navigating through the
difficulties of her hometown, shedding light on the terrible reality that many
Nigerians face.
“Being a Nigerian woman is a miracle.
Because being a Nigerian, for anybody, is tough. But
I think if you can tap into your gifts and own who you are and be unapologetic
about it, and
take that to the world, that is an honour,” she said.
The award-winning music star further divulged that
Nigerian women are blessed and are very special to be in a country where
it’s not easy to sail through.
“I think Nigerian women are the most blessed. I won’t say the most
blessed but everybody is
blessed in equal manner but Nigerian women are very special
to me. They are very dear to
me and I believe that it is such a huge blessing to be a
Nigerian woman and to be living in
this time,” she added.
