On July 9, 2016, Nigerian pop sensation Tiwa Savage, shared a ‘Black Lives Matter‘ poster on her Instagram page which had the message “I Can’t Keep Calm I Have A Black Son.“
This was Tiwa Savage’s way of joining in the current protest in America where two black men Alton Sterlingand Philando Castile where gunned down by the police. The Black Lives Matter movement is an “activist movement, originating in the African-American community, that campaigns against violence toward black people” according to Wikipedia.
