QAPHAYNE: It is no news that various naija celebs are now cross carpeting from music/movies to film making, we have seen the likes of mofe-damijo, nkiru silvanus e.t.c. The list below ishowever for those that are ready to thread the murky waters in 2015.


KATE HENSHAW : She has no doubt made her mark in the movies arena. But this dark skinned beauty is poised to make a difference in the political arena. Here is a piece from her manifesto:
"I have a strong interest and desire to serve my
People and especially show that there is a better
more humane way to do things when you are in a
position of leadership. Putting the people first and
being accountable to them as well as being
accessible".

According to her, special attention will be paid to quality education and ample health care for young mothers. she will be running for federal house of representatives,she is eyeing the calabar municipal/odukpani constituency slot.


KENNY SAINT BROWN : Ksb as she is fondly called may not be that relevant today but she is still no pushover in the music industry. She is running for the lagos state house of assembly ikeja constituency under the APC.


ABOLORE AKANDE a.k.a 9ice : Our main man alakpomeji is leaving no stone unturned and no turn unstoned in actualizing his political dream. When asked why he chose to go into politics he said: "I believe I have achieved all there is to achieve in music". However his ex toni payne is proving to be a pain in the ass. 9ice is running under the APC and is vying for the ogbomosho constituency 1 at the oyo house of assembly.


BOB MANUEL UDOKWU : the former gulder ultimate search anchor is seeking new adventure in naija politics. Currently he is the special adviser to anambra state governor on nollywood and entertainment. He is vying for a seat at the anambra state house of assembly under the political structure of the APGA. He is to rep. Idemilli north 1 constituency.


DESMOND OLUSOLA ELLIOT : Many are angry that they never knew his name was olusola until it was time for politics. However this veteran actor has expressed interest in vying for the lagos state house of assembly under the APC.

Why are you in a hurry to tag them as politicians? I mean, these folks are yet to win even a primariy election for councillorship.

I have a friend who lives in Lagos and every election period, he simply flood his home state with posters for the governorship elections and disappear back to Lagos. Now he goes about telling any body who cares to listen that he is a 3 time gubernotorial and 2 time senatorial aspirant for his state and senatorial district respectively. Even as I type this he has been holding series of meetings branding and printing outfits in readiness for 2015 outing.

ketoprofen:

how come efik people didn't reject her for not adding offiong to her name and for acting in Igbo nollywood
dat is because kate never hid her roots,everyone knows she is from calabar unlike desmond..there is dis short film she did for ebonylife tv dat was shot in calabar,go and watch it and u will dat she is a proper calabar woman.up till before desmond interest of joining politics,many people did not know dat desmond was yoruba talkless of being from lagos state,why?cos he never associated with his roots unlike kate,so it is not d same,u cant compare
Re: List Of Top Nigerian Entertianers Turned Politicians by ChristyG(f): 11:15pm On Sep 18, 2014
vigasimple: Some of these aspirants are dead on arrival.

1. Kenny st. Brown for Ikeja in Lagos under APC, the no primaries party.

2. ODE, as in olusola Desmond Elliott, what a funny name for the opposition to use against him. Again, he is contesting in a no primaries party.

3. 9ice , again in APC, the no primaries party. But in his suit and bow tie he looks more like Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi , a well know promoter of hatred in religion

As I said, their political ambition are all dead on arrival, especially with party of 'imposition of candidates' .
and why wont dey win?is it u dat will vote abi which kain senseless analysis is dat.if u are smart,u will see dat dey all went for d rulling party in their respective states.apc is rulling party in lagos and oyo,pdp is d rulling party in cross rivers,apga in anambra.so pls save us ur id1ot1c analysis,just say u dont like apc
