Nigerians have blasted Sports personality, Charles Anazodo, who on Thursday took to his Twitter handle to shade Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage for not saying ‘hi’ and walking past him and his colleague at THEBEAT999F. Charles on Twitter described Tiwa’s action as ‘discourteous’
In his tweet, he wrote “@TiwaSavage was a guest on @THEBEAT999FM earlier today,arrived and walked past @kallyjoe
and i, and didn’t have the courtesy to say hello. I guess being a superstar gives you the right to be discourteous”.

Tiwa Savage, however, replied him on her Twitter handle
First of all I’m sure you saw me rushing to the studio because I was late for my interview plus I had a hat on, second I’m glad I didn’t say hi because who are you to think you can’t say hi first https://t.co/Ut1x1Xup6u

This tweet exploded the internet as fans who are not in support of Charles Anazodo’s tweet reacted, kicking against it and saying the tweet is way beneath his personality as one of the finest broadcasters in Nigeria.
This tweet is way, way beneath the Charles Anazodo, one of the finest broadcasters I have long admired from my days in Secondary School. The entitlement mentality in this tweet is totally irritating. Sigh

Another fan reacted thus:
Please is not saying hi now a crime? Coz u know her as a star that’s why u are saying this. Had it been she is just that lady that comes for cleaning, we won’t hear it o. Let’s keep our HI to ourselves jare.

Tiwa that I have seen is down to earth. Its even written all over her. Fame no dey enter her head. So you must have been mistaken.

This guy is a sexist. He thinks less of a woman. He believes woman a should greet her first because she is a woman. He wouldn’t have said this to Wizkid or Davido. He needs Orientation.
