It’s not a day’s job for a Nigerian celebrity to get a break in
the entertainment industry, especially with all the competition and limited opportunities. Despite this, some
incredible families have earned a spot in the entertainment
industry with not just one, but two and sometimes three of
the family members making a name for themselves.
1. Dakore Egbuson Akande and Timini Egbuson
Aside from acting talent, good looks also appear to run in
the genes of the Egbuson family. Dakore Egbuson Akande
has acted in over 50 films and is an ambassador for Amstel
Malta and Amnesty International. Timini, on the other hand,
is Dakore’s younger brother who is in the early stage of his
acting career. He plays the role of ‘Tobi’ in MTV Shuga Naija.

Paul and Peter – have been in the music industry for over 10 years and produce their songs under the label, Square
records. Peter and Paul alias PSquare are the artistes, while
Jude is their manager. They have major hits to their credit,
