Recently, some have said the Extravagant Lifestyle of Popular
Nigerian celebrities who seek funds in order to survive after making
huge success in their chosen career but squandered the proceeds on
luxury and later become bankrupt is what has given industry watchers
great concern. Why do some Nigeria-known faces in the entertainment
industry usually beg for fund after a successful career? ANTHONY ADA ABRAHAM and SAMUEL ABULUDE take a look at this recurring issue as raised by popular opinions
A typical Nigeria celebrity is seen as a wealthy personality. Going
on tour around the world, shooting videos and making people know they
are a force to be reckoned with.
Most of the shows they perform in is outside the country and it aids
them with lots of money for stage appearance, multinational endorsement
and more fan base. But of late, the tide has continued to turn inasmuch
as majority seek fund from the public before they could even eat. The
question entertainment enthusiasts are asking is, what have they been
doing with the millions they earn?
The ordeal of African Queen Music producer, OJB Jezreel with kidney
failure has revealed the lifestyle of our music celebrities. He
struggled to get the required funds for his kidney transplant and had to
resort to begging Nigerians to save his life and donate money for his
operation. This development casts a notion of wasteful spending on our
celebrities who made money when the going was good.
A lot of our contemporary artistes and music producers have smiled to
the bank unlike the veteran singers of yesteryears who laboured more
producing quality music and yet did not make as much as the contemporary
artistes. Catching on the global hip hop trend, many of our artistes
have hit it off and smiled to the banks. The Nigerian musician has
laboured and tried to make himself to be reckoned with. Today, while
many have attained celebrity status via the industry and become brand
ambassadors of different products and organisations, others have
gradually faded out as if they never existed.
