http://stargist.com/cover/7-nigerian-celebrity-siblings-defied-odds-entertainment-industry/ 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. 10 Likes
