10 celebrities we can’t get enough of….



From the red carpet to the after parties, there are some celebrities that are simply on track at all times when it comes to fashion. With the awards season approaching, you never know what they could come up with next.  These celebs always step up their fashion A-game. They are always a delight on the red carpet, they never disappoint when it comes to dressing all the way up, whether it’s one shoulder or strapless, these selected ten fashionistas wear them well.

 Tiwa Savage 


From all her classy red carpets dresses to her darling baby doll dresses and little clutches, she always looked refreshingly sweet. We can’t wait to see more of her pretty style in 2013.

Genevive Nnaji 
Nigeria’s Nollywood sweetheart’s fashion choices have become more and more glamorous with each even but we’re even more excited to see what she’ll wear on the red carpet this year.


Lisa Folawiyo
The fashion designer is one of the coolest around. Whether she’s wearing a funky short sleeved shirt, bold shoes, or an elegant Ankara dress, she always looks fashion forward and totally at ease in her clothes.



Nkiru Anumudu


She never fails to give us something interesting to look at, and to think about. She’s always one-upping herself too. We can’t wait to see what new looks she rolls out in 2013.




Alali Hart
 The Clarins boss always appears in outfits that are supremely well-fitted and classy.
She is not only prominent for her entrepreneurial success, her ladylike disposition is also admirable. In her 40s, her business concern, Montaigne Place, has several outlets in Lagos. This is in addition to making the range of cosmetic products she sells, more popular in this part of the world.

Her style of gowns, I’m sure, has been taken to plenty of tailors to be duplicated simply for being the most eye catching. She never disappoints when it comes to dressing all the way up, whether its one shoulder or strapless, she wears them well.

 We can’t get enough of her quirky, vintage-inspired red carpet choices. This former Miss World knows how to rock the red carpet.

Munachi Abii 
 She was giggling for the paparazzi, wearing a wild poka-dotted dress, or strutting in hot pink pumps, former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria Munachi is fun fun fun. Here is hoping for   more fun with Muna in 2013.




Omotola Jolade Ekehinde
With her often times dramatic dresses which emphasizes her curves, the Nollywood diva is always a delight to watch on the red carpet. We look forward to more drama this fashion year.

How Nigerian Celebrities Are Killing Themselves

Apparently basking in the euphoria of a new status, many Nigerians in showbiz throw caution in the wind in the process of “living it up”. These days, hardly does a month end without news of someone in Nollywood or the Music industry, getting involved in car accident or public brawl...






This comes as no surprise, especially to those who are in the know of the background of today’s stars. Most of them, even in wildest dreams, never thought they would attain their current standing in the society. In fact, not only do they talk about the rise to fame in interviews, they also author books and record songs on it.

It is worrisome that the mints these guys stack in bank accounts have overwhelmed them, so much that some can no longer think properly. In 2013 alone, there have been at least a dozen auto crash involving celebrities. On the average, that is a scary 2 to 3 cases per month. Names like Samklef, Danagog, Maye Hunter, America, Nashville, Asa and others form the lot.


The most recent involving fabulously talented Ayo “Wizkid” Balogun, rattled virtually every music lover; this is because the young man is adored by the younger generation.

The 23-year old has everything going on well. Good looks, sold out concerts, record sales, endorsement for big-paying coys, successful international tours, connection to foreign superstars, huge fan base, that feminine attraction, houses and expensive cars, what is more? He now has his record label, StarBoy Entertainment, with three acts including Legendary Beatz signed on.

Weeks ago, the "I Love My Baby" and "Pakurumo" crooner posted a picture of his newly acquired Porsche Panamera. The car is priced at $80, 000 – $150, 000 (depending on the sub-model). As expected, the photo went viral on social media. But by 0400 hours of Saturday June 15, 2013, the same car had become a wreck. The gist – as always – is that a tyre of the automobile burst while on motion.


While we all thank God for sparing the lives of our stars, isn’t it time we ask some questions. Bearing in mind the busy schedules, why would someone driving a car worth N15million not take such for regular checks? Or are expensive cars immune from faults?

It is an open secret that our acts, and their entourage, sometimes use “active agents” before and after attending/performing at events. It is also an open secret these artistes or their friends sometimes get behind the wheels under the influence of alcohol. But nobody is saying anything, solely because of the blind love we have for them. I am not saying this happened in the case of Wizzy, but it does happen.

Some find the demise of celebrities too hard to bear. This is understandable, as despite harsh government policies and dwindling economy, they are able to make us happy; they put smile on our faces; they liven up our homes, streets, vehicles, clubs and parties and so on.


Our celebrities have a responsibility to look after themselves and not live life like there is a duplicate kept somewhere. They should for goodness sake be more careful while on the road; they should ensure those around them are the type that of positive influence; they should do away with hard drugs and excessive alcohol; they should reciprocate our affection by staying focused and do only the right things at all times. These crashes are becoming too many; we don’t want to pass through another agony please!


If you think you are popular and then go about ‘feeling fly’, the day you die an avoidable death, your name will trend for a few days; news sites and blogs will as usual talk about it for, at most, two weeks. The rest of us will move on. Live continues. Chikena.
