Which Of These Nigerian Celebrities Would Still Be Relevant In 5years?


We all know celebrities of all facet of life (Actor, Models, Singers, Sport Icons, Comedians, Magicians and Journalist) always have a career lisfe span of between several months to about 15years of reign and popularity. Only very few have ever been lucky to have crossed that 15years span of relevance in the Entertainment industry. People like Michael Jackson, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Eddie Murphy, Luther Vandross, Kenny G, David Beckam, Madonna, Oprah Wilfrey and a few others crossed that mark of popularity.


In Nigeria, we once had great stars like Onyeka Onwenu, King Sunny Ade, Christy Essien Igbokwe, Blackky, Orits Wilikie, Ras Kimono, Daddy Showkey, Jayjay Okocha,Madam Kofo, Chief Zebudayah, Oliver De Coke, Sunny Okosun, Daniel Amokachi, Ebenezer Obey, Dan Maraya Jos, Felix Liberty, Segun Odegbami, Liz Benson, Mary Oyanlie, Lagbaja, Regina Askia, Alli Baba, Junior and Pretty and so many others. When these people reigned, they were superstars and their fans never imagined anyone else will ever come and take their place. Some of them reigned for a few months while lasted several years. Even though some of them are still in the limelight, they have definitely been sidelined by the younger generation of celebrities.

In your own opinion, in no particular order which current celebrity(ies) do you think will still have an impact in the Nigerian Entertainment Industry in the next 5years?

  1. Someone like Derele Edun who started out on that Kiddies show in 1995 is still waxing stronger. Plus he is someone who helps other careers blossom too. Definitely should be on the list.
