Today, Nigerian singer
Tiwa Savage‘s mother
Cecilia Savage is a year older.
To celebrate her loving mother, she took
to social media to share a sweet and emotional message about how her
mother helped her get through bullying.
Read;
“During my high school days I was
bullied for several years, I would get jumped on the bus, head flushed
down the toilet and so on, it got so bad that I did something drastic
and life threatening because I was so depressed.
My mother was called to school on
several occasions and each time she came she would ask to see the other
students bullying me and would always pray for us all. Of course they
would joke and laugh but my mother was always so calm and reserved and
she would take me home, cook me Naija food (we were living in London at
the time) and she would make me realize how loved I was and how rich my
culture is, how beautiful I am being a Nigerian girl (I was bullied for
being African, skinny, dark and I had a strong naija accent) what my
mother didn’t do was fight, shout or argue with the other girls or their
parents (who were at times very rude and disrespectful), instead she
showered me with love and reminded me where I was from.
One of the many reasons why she is my
hero, my role model, biggest inspiration, my best friend, my mummy
