The Nigerian Twitter has been thrown into a frenzy after sports media personality, Charles Anazodo blasted popular female singer, Tiwa Salvage, for not greeting him.
Apparently, Charles Anazodo isn’t happy with Tiwa Savage for walking past him without saying ‘hello’ to him at the radio station.
“@TiwaSavage was a guest on @THEBEAT999FM earlier today, arrived and walked past @kallyjoe and me, and didn’t have the courtesy to say hello. I guess being a superstar gives you the right to be discourteous,” he tweeted.

Tiwa Savage subsequently responded to his tweet, but she didn’t take it lightly with him.
“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,” she replied.

These tweets have ignited controversy in the Nigerian Twitter community with people expressing their views. A lot of people think Charles was feeling entitled while for another camp, it was all about the hilarious angle to it.
What happened between Tiwa & Charles just shows how much the Older NG Folks are still entitled to Greeting & see it as Pride when you don't greet. People have plenty things on their mind & might not notice you. We are adults & there are better things to worry about 🤷♂️

Being a woman is so hard. Imagine having the fame and talent of Tiwa Savage and a moron is standing by the door expecting you to greet him first! So weird. I'm sure if it was a Male celebrity, ma so so baba this, baba that we go dey hear. Sigh

I think the point he's to make is when you visit a place, it's a polite thing to start greeting people you find there, even if they don't greet you, greet them cos you're the visitor. It's basic common sense.
Besides that Charles Anazodo, World renowned Sports Journalist. https://t.co/x5Ri7iNxIC

The day came
Charles Anazodo positioned himself
Tiwa Savage rushed in
She didn't say hi
Charles couldn't come down from his high horse to say hi – fine. Should have ended there.
Oh
Charles brought it here
Hoping to score highpoints?
But it's all a low.
Another adult on a low 😭— Emmanuel Olabayo (@bayonuels) October 4, 2019
How Tiwa Savage savaged Charles Anazodo.
A whole Charles Anazodo…. Most of you were on diapers when he became prominent at NTA.
Oh well…

Charles Anazodo has unfortunately allowed his overinflated ego and a crassly flawed mentality to get the better of him. He has become the “you can’t even greet somebody” ambassador that he has probably criticized others for. You hate to see it.
Disappointed but not surprised.
