List Of Celebrities That Will No Longer Be Famous In 5years Time. by acidtalk: 9:58pm On Apr 26, 2013 |
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 people have ever been lucky to have crossed that 15years span of relevance in their 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 number of years of being popular. In Nigeria, we once had great stars (too numerous to mention) 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? 2face Idibia AY (comedian) P Square D Banj Mikel Obi Wiz Kid Bovi (Comedian) Cossy Ojiakwo Ice Prince Omotola Basket Mouth Davido May D Tonto Dike Tiwa Savage Don Jazzy Timaya Genevieve Iyanya Linda Ikeji (Blogger) Nairaland (Seun). Note : The last two were on that list to see ask the same question if you foresee their blog and forum still being relevant in the next 5years. Please feel free to add your own list of celebrities you forsee still being relevant in the entertainment circle in the next 5years and if possible the reason why you think so. 2 Likes 1 Share |

This thread wasn't started to talk negative or wish anyone ill-luck in their career (becauise I know some people will think so myopic towards that line). But instead it is more of trying to help some of them (who have ears) remain relevant. So many of our entertainers are just after the money and not to give any positive value to the generation upcoming. That's is why you find out most of them sing very immoral songs (acting and comedy) because they know that is what the youths want to see and hear. Most of them do not even value their fans because they feel they are so rich now, loosing a fan or several fans won't affect their bank account. |

Manweysabi: It's 2face to me... the guy is unbeatable, makes music that makes sense, evergreen. Maybe just maybe that's why my instinct put him on the top list. But truth be told, he will find is really tough coping to be relevant by then oh! He will be termed "old school" musiciand because the youths then won't value and appreciate his "meaningful and moral upright" kind of music. Then all you will be hearing is bo*om this the b*oobies that's. 2 Likes |

onila: genevieve off course Onila love, its been ages. Do you think Genevieve will still remain relevant? I don't watch naija movies or listen to lots of their songs, but from my little observation it appears some new generation blood have taken roles meant for genny and omosexy.

nekaa: Basket mouth, Linda ikeji, iyanya As for Basket mouth and Linda maybe they would. But I seriously doubt the like of Iyanya. Faze, Tony Tetuilla, Eedris Abdulkarim, Olu maintain, Azadus all came out with better hits than his in the last 10years but all faded in no time. |

albacete: Mr Acid, u sef know naa na why u put im name for top. 2baba is not only Talented, he is also BLESSED. He has reigned the most amongst all musicians of his generation and generation before his, 10years in the industry and still the most loved, na Only God fit do that one oh! Even with the various baby mamas controversy that trailed him people still love him so dearly and the media over hyping him has even helped his career tremendiously. Which other musician aside 2face that will boast of having the support and love of Senators, Governors and top government officials? The likes of D Banj, Onyeka Onwenu and others are only used and dumped during political elections and campaigns. But 2face is always given attention doing sad and happy moments of his life. See when he had that armed robbery attack and then his wedding. Truly, "Who God has Blessed no man can curse". 4 Likes |

acidtalk:I disagree with your views on Dbanj, seriously the dude is more of a business man than musician, flash back to his album lunch 2008 both Tinubu & Fashola were present, his last year Koko concert u 'll be surprise with the calibre of top elites present at the show, he also got partnership with GTB/ndani tv. Now he pitches his tent with the likes of Naeto C, Ikechukwu, Davido, Olamide, Samklef etc at worst he 'll do a remix with the rave of the moment to remain relevant. Just of recent wizkid tweets about a song already done with Dbanj, he got the packaging Nigerians want & plays his game tight. After the post Mohit's bruhaha some don't even give him more than 6mnths to fade but yet he's still relevant. On the 5th of next month his having a show in Houston featuring the likes of Olamide, Sinzu, Ikechukwu, Naeto C etc likewise June 23rd he's bringing in 2chainz to Nigeria that 'll be at Eko hotels. So the Dbanj is more of a businessman than musician & if he continues like this, the dude 'll last afterall he's gonna celebrate his ten years on stage next year. 3 Likes |

alaoeri: I think this is more of a publicity stunt and image boosting than actually telling us how D Banj will stay relevant in the industry in the next 5years. From your explanation D Banj needs to tag along and associate himself by doing singles with reigning acts right? To me that sounds like a man struggling hard to avoid drowning in deep waters. 2baba boost people's singles and albums by featuring in their song and not the other way round. I can remember 9ice's last album featured the who-is-who in Nigeria music but yet the album was worse than a tsunami. As much as D Banj is a business man not doubt, the earlier he invest in music production, promotion and management the better for him because has a musician, I doubt if he will be relevant for even a single show if he doesn't play any of his old tracks (from Oliver twist downwards - all songs produced by Month'hit records). 2 Likes |

Omotola has been in the industry since 1995,so she is already a legend in nigeria industry. Omotola was just Time magazine icon of the year,so She will be here and be going into a bigger budget. Tu face too will be here five years from now. 3 Likes |

Won't say much (the truth) because they don't wanna hear. But I think the forum shouls grow beyond Seun, its time for it to be run as an enterprise, but with the kind of immature and relevant threads promoted, I doubt if serious minded institutions/corporate bodies will want to stick their fingers in here. 2 Likes 1 Share |
