I know you are getting bugged by the
recent trend of naija celebs flaunting
their wealth on social media.
Nowadays, they flaunt their properties
more than they flaunt their talents. This
act is certain to lead to a series of
happenings that will torment the naija
entertainment scene thesame way it
does to its American counterpart which
inspires it. Below are a few of the
happenings I predict. Though you might
think my predictions are too harsh, we
can only caution these celebs from
further doing that which might lead
them into ending up in one of the below
situations.


1. Gunshot killings


When you see an artiste putting on gold
chains worth more than what you can
ever earn in 10yrs time, the feeling you
get can only be controlled if you are a
person with good self-control. Putting
these things on in music videos is pretty
understandable, but showing them on
twitter or instagram as well is part of
the reason why every naija youth wants
to be a musician or an entertainer.
Many make it into the game but most
don't actually make the kind of money
that lured them into it. Such get
intimidated when a rich and famous
young artiste walks into the backstage
room looking all blingy with all the
groupies lusting after him alone. That is
just how hiphop beefs start. Next thing
you hear are diss songs flying
everywhere. They might seem like a
sales strategy till a few shots are fired
and somebody is pronounced dead. If
such acts don't have access to guns
which aren't really an african thing, the
use of black magic otherwise called juju
can be applied to douse the star of their
rival. Most of today's acts have the
ability to settle their beefs before they
escalate into hiring assassins. But how
about the ruthless armed robber
lurking in the dark with a gun to rob
these expensive looking celebs? What if
he uses the gun? The case of celebs
getting killed by gunshots like it
happened to tupac, biggie, proof etc
might start to occur in naija if care is not taken.






2. Jail


Not every entertainer in the
entertainment industry is talented
enough to be in the industry. Some got
attracted by the flamboyant and
glamourous lifestyle of celebrities.
When a fellow colleague of theirs
shows off his newly acquired bentley or
house on social media, they feel
intimidated. Such can decide to meet
up by doing something illegal like
internet scams popularly called yahoo-
yahoo, pushing hard drugs,
homosexual prostitution etc. When the
long arm of the law reaches them, they
end up getting jailed. The worse part is
that this is not America where an akon
or a tupac can come out of jail and still
blow up. Even akon testified in some of
his songs that life in America is difficult
for an ex-convict, how much more in
Nigeria where the whole family of such
a person is tagged a family of
prisoners.



3. Plastic surgery


Don't you just love it when you see nikki
minaj or kim kardashian flaunt their
body assets? Their backside, boobs,
face and lovely skin gives them so
much attention that TV stations are
willing to do shows about them. It takes
a lot of sacrifice to maintain a diva
status. Most of the american female
celebs do all sorts of surgeries just to
keep that youthful look in order just to
keep gracing the covers of magazines.
Very soon, our female singers will also
want that diva status. That's when we'll
start hearing incidence of butt implant
gone wrong, boobs silicon burst and
face looking horrible from surgery.






4. Baby mama


This situation is already getting a solid
footing in our entertainment scene.
Every young girl wants to be associated
with a star irrespective of the cost. They
believe their child will have a secured
future if he bears the name of a celeb.
These girls do not think of the unhappy
life a star lives, they are just moved by
the fame and money he has. Most of
them go with the hope of him getting
married to them later till they realise
he's getting another baby mama
somewhere else. These celebs delay
marriage just to enjoy a promiscous
lifestyle. When such die, they leave
their family in conflict due to their
children from different mothers fighting
for the wealth he left behind.


5. Divorce increase


Done with his baby mamas, a celeb can
decide to marry a very beautiful girl for
show-off. This lady automatically
becomes a celeb for marrying one.
There's hardly any genuine love
between both of them, just one lusting
after beauty and the other after money
and fame. Fews years down the lane,
they get divorced which creates a huge
buzz in gossip blogs, getting their
followers influenced. The female ones
get carried away by their careers that
they find it difficult sustaining their
marriage, eventually they get divorced.



6. Substance abuse


We all know how well entertainers
perform under the influence of one
drug or the other. In naija right now,
the situation is at a low cos we haven't
had any case of overdose. But in the
nearest future, such will be a norm
going by the rate at which high level
performance is required of them. Right
now, we are dealing with the case of
drug trafficking to foreign countries
from Nigeria; very soon, the drugs
trafficked will remain in the country due
to high demand not only from the
normal drug users and entertainers,
but also the ordinary boy on the street
who got influenced by the lyrics/acts of
his favorite stars.




7. Going broke


A range rover 2015 cost a lot, but these
guys flaunt it like it's nothing. The new
show-off involves posting pictures of
their garage on social media. Some
garages contain cars like bentley,
porsche, aston martin and ferrari all in
a multi-million naira crib located in an
expensive neighbourhood. We hardly
hear of their investments, that's if such
exists. There are tonnes of American
celebs who have gone really broke due
to the excessive show of wealth. Today,
their houses and properties are up for
sale. The worse part is that their
careers are in the dump. They got
carried away by fame and glamour. The
naija artiste today prefers to buy a very
expensive house in the US where he
only spend days while most of his time
is spent in Nigeria cos that's where he
makes his money. The tax and bills paid
on the US house is enough to set up
something meaningful in naija.



A word is enough for the wise.

Nice one
Lalasticlala rear it

their life and money, their decisions your headache.

Ginaz:
their life and money, their decisions your headache.

also your headache so long you live in thesame society.

Why do you think america lacks morals? The entertainment industry has messed up their brain so much that they are now an aberration of decency. We are still battling against marijuana sales in Nigeria, yet an artiste like davido feels free to show cocaine in his music video with half-naked girls dancing beside him. What do you think that registers in the mind of young ones who are yet to be able to differentiate their left from right? They start nursing the idea of pushing hard drugs to foreign countries.

Do you want to wait till a sibling of yours get caught trafficking drugs before you find your voice against this excessive show off?

How will you feel if your son is caught with his girlfriend's head while planning for money rituals cos he wants to live a flamboyant lifestyle like the celebrities he follows on instagram?


Pls, think...instead of thinking every critic is an hater.
