Watch The Breathaking Moment Tiwa Savage Performed ‘Keys To The Kingdom’ Live

Tiwa Savage has, at times, been attacked for a perceived lack of vocal dexterity. The former Mavin Records superstar usually gets on the end of scathing reports by detractors. However, if one has seen her perform live, these reports can be wrong; depending on the queen’s mood and the song, Tiwa Savage can sure deliver a breathtaking performance. At Wizkid’s show in December, Tiwa Savage performed “Keys to the Kingdom.” The song also featured Mr. Eazi and it was a collaboration with Beyoncé Carter-Knowles on the Lion King: The Gift album which featured many top African artistes.

Paleocene

Paleocene . The Paleocene is a geological epoch that started 66 million years ago with the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction of non-avian dinosaurs and 75 percent of all species. The Paleocene was marked by the recovery of the biosphere, with dense forests worldwide, while small mammals and birds rapidly evolved to take advantage of the mass extinction. In the seas, ray-finned fish rose to dominance. The supercontinents Laurasia and Gondwana were still separating, the Rocky Mountains were being uplifted, the Americas were divided, the Indian Plate was colliding with Asia, and the North Atlantic Igneous Province was forming. Like the preceding Mesozoic, the Paleocene had a greenhouse climate, with an average global temperature of 24–25 °C (75–77 °F), compared to 14 °C (57 °F) today. It ended 56 million years ago with a sharp rise in temperature in the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum.
