First! Who is a celebrity?
Personally, I consider a celebrity to be someone who is widely celebrated and recognized for remarkable actions or work leading him/her to be famous.

On that note, I can list examples such as Chimamanda Adiche, Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Dapo Oyebanjo aka D’banj, Innocent Idibia aka 2face, Paul and Peter Okoye aka Psquare and others in that light who are highly and widely celebrated for their brilliant works in the course of their chosen career.
Now let’s shed more light on  “ the Nigerian celebs Popular people”.
These are the people who some of us call celebrities but are actually just popular for being popular until they find a reason to be likened to a celebrity. Sort of like the Kim Kardashians of the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Some of these people have no distinct career path and litter themselves across all corners of the Nigerian entertainment industry playing the role of “jack of all trades” until they eventually find the most talentless role they can stick with.
These people enter the industry with the insight to rape every iota of proficiency in the entertainment industry to get fame and money. You see them jump from being terrible video vixens, models, bleached and prouds, celeb bffs to lousy red carpet presenters, radio presenters, bloggers, columnists, and before you know it they start featuring in movies, dropping awful music and even gather the guts to champion  conferences claiming expertise in these fields.
Since the emergence of these special people in the entertainment industry, the term “Media Personality” has been adulterated. Most of them hide under the umbrella of being a media personality. This is not to say we don’t have credible professional media people in Nigeria but these our “Nigerian celebs Popular people” have succeeded in stealing the term from the real professionals.
And to the major people who suffer from these “Nigerian celebs Popular people”… the audience, all I can say is “heavy sigh” because they are the same people who are fueling this trend with their support. I know there are still some of us who have refused to condone this trend.
But then again… who are we kidding? Celeb, Popular or Media personality or whatever term they coin for themselves they are still making their money. We can only sit relax and find a comic relief or beef (lol) in their chosen act of entertainment mockery.
THIS IS MY 2NAIRA… Feel free to drop yours.
