With fame, money and power comes
arrogance for many Nigerian celebrities but some have been able to keep
it real both to themselves and their fans. On this list we present to
you, a quick run down of six humble celebrities in Nigeria:
1. 2face Idibia:
Tuface Idibia is easily considered the
most humble Nigerian celebrity out there and a look into his life will
make you see why. The African Queen hit maker is one of the top notch
artistes in Nigeria that has brought global recognition to Nigeria and
is adored by fans from across Africa and indeed the globe.
With a humility that is astounding for a man of his caliber, Tuface is easily a role model for fans and other celebs alike.
2. Genevieve Nnaji:
Genevieve Nnaji isn’t lacking in the
beauty department neither is she a mediocre in her chosen field. She
comfortably wears the super star crown as one of the best actresses to
have come out of Africa.
Despite all her class and
sophistication, Genevieve Nnaji is known to always keep it real and
graceful. Even when baited to bad mouth her country in an international
interview, she had nothing but a good comment about her beloved Nigeria.
3. Don Jazzy:
Ace music producer Don Jazzy was ranked
as the second most bankable artiste in Africa in 2013 by Forbes Africa
and Channel O coming in behind Akon. This list puts him as the most
bankable artiste in Nigeria but despite his fame and wealth, the Mavin
Records boss has been able to maintain a humble profile.
Known to be very active on social media,
he commands a large followership and is constantly communicating with
the fans that have helped contributed to his success.
4. Chidinma Ekile:
Chidinma is definitely not the same girl
that won Project Fame West Africa back in 2010 but one thing is for
sure, despite the fact that she is balling now; she is still the humble
girl from her days of being in the music academy.
With many hit songs like “Jankoliko,”
‘Kedike,” “Run Dia Mouth,” among others to her credit, the petite female
singer with a powerful voice has gone ahead to be the first female
musician to peak at number 1 on the MTV Base Official Naija Top 10 Chart
with her single “Emi Ni Baller.”
Love her or hate her, Chidinma keeps it
real and in 2012 she won the Best Female West African Act category at
the 2012 Kora Awards.
5. Sound Sultan:
Born Lanre Fasasi, many know him as
Sound Sultan and he is one Nigerian musician that has been able to
remain afloat in the music industry for over a decade.
Considered one of the most humble and
kind celebrity even by fellow colleagues, he received a shout out
recently from Peter Okoye of the P-Square brothers who thanked him for
giving the P Square duo an unforgettable opportunity in a lifetime.
In an interview with Punch, the artiste
himself went on to reveal that humility is one of the ways he has been
able to maintain a successful career.
6. Cobhams Asuquo
Cobhams Asuquo is a Nigerian musician,
producer and songwriter who branched into music from his professional
training as a lawyer.
Although blind, the talented music
producer has been able to win awards in his career and is known for
producing some of Nigeria’s finest artistes like internationally
acclaimed Asa, Banky W, Mo’cheddah, and Darey Art Alade.
His countenance is that of pure humility
and those close to him say he always has something inspiring to tell
people wherever he goes.
7. D’banj
Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, D’banj is a
Nigerian singer-songwriter and businessman. And even though he has so
many awards and achievements the singer is still a lover of the people
and is often seen hanging out on the streets with his fans.
