A Twitter user asking for music listeners to educate themselves on how songwriting works;
You people should educate yourselves.
Even great songwriters like Taylor Swift and Jon Bellion don't write their songs alone. ?♂️— Låtør (@israeL__xy) January 12, 2021

Tbh I don't really see the reason why the Nigerian culture has accepted song writing as a thing.
