Why Do Nigerian Artistes Hide Their Age? by delors(m): 1:11am On Nov 24, 2013 |
Weeks ago, I caused a little uproar on twitter on why our Nigerian artistes hide their age. Google any Nigerian artiste, except a very few ones, you'd find their bio but age will be missing, and that is intentional. This is crooked and criminal as far as I can tell. If they were footballers or sportsmen, fine, we understand the nature of that, but what's up with age hiding in the entertainment industry? Does it affect their endorsements, music, etc? Musicians, comedians, entertainers, radio and TV presenters, etc are all guilty of this. Google any American or foreign artiste, you'd find the age proudly displayed but for our own people? Na lie! So now, if you know their age or the reason for hiding it, please share here.

@poster, The age of most Nigerian artiste are well know. Most of them celebrate their birthdays. What will they gain by hiding their age from the public? |

Allohrandy: @poster, The age of most Nigerian artiste are well know. Most of them celebrate their birthdays. What will they gain by hiding their age from the public?Great! So on the list I posted how many of them do you know their ages? Ice prince claims 27yo. reports have it that dude finished high school in 1999. Let's assume he finished at the age of 16yrs, by now he'd be 31...but I am guessing he finished at the age of 18 (like most high school leavers) which means he'll be 33. How old is MI? Please help me find out and maybe i can remove the topic then...And Mode 9. And Basket Mouth. And Julius agwu. And 9ice. And Nigga Raw. thanks for helping |

delors:why do you think MI is not 33,vector is not 29,banky is not 31, iyanya and brymo are not 27. what do you think they gain from falsifying their real age? Or do you think they are all above 40 years? Most Nigerian artistes declare their real age. |

Or do you think they are all above 40 years? Most Nigerian artistes declare their real age. why do you think MI is 33,vector is 29, iyanya and brymo are 27. How can you prove it? Gat a link or something? Or dont you think some of them are above 40 years but lying to be under 35? Most Nigerian artistes dont declare their real age. If they do, it will be readily available. |

granlydia: They gave u their real names nd u are looking for real age?Op u greedy sha.manage the information they gave u for ur article abeg.lolThanks. And then I publish a half-baked article leaving you guys to guess the vital info that sums the essence of the article itself. Google any American singer and see if their age is not proudly displaed. What would it cost them to say their age if no be say magomago wan enter? |
