5 Nigerian celebrity siblings (photos)

While some are less known than their otherwise popular siblings, here are some celebrities you didn’t know were related

We may be used to seeing some of them
individually, in their different fields, but not
many know that these people in the limelight
are actually siblings.

While some are more popular than their other
siblings, the lesser known ones are actually
hustling in their own ways, to be in our line of
vision where you won’t have to point before
saying ‘do you know this is so and so’s sibling‘
and the person listening will be like ‘who’s that?’

Popular siblings Jude, Paul and Peter Okoye Here are five siblings you didn’t know are
related:

1. Dakore Egbuson-Akande and Timini

Egbuson Dakore Akande and Tmini Egbuson Dakore is a popular Nollywood actress with
several movies under her belt. The beautiful
mother of two girls who sort of disappeared
after getting married to her heartthrob Olumide,
later resurfaced and has since gone back to her
love, acting.
Following in his big sister’s footsteps,
handsome Timini Egbuson is also an actor in
the popular series ‘Shuga’. The Unilag
Psychology graduate has also done voice-
overs and event hosting.

2. Sandra and Christopher Okagbue

Sandra and Chris Okagbue Sandra and Christopher (called Chris for short)
were born to the royal Okagbue family, to late
Obi of Onitsha, Ofala Okagbue, who died in
2001. Sandra who just might be the more
popular of the two, won the Miss Delta Soap
pageant in 2010, and went on to pursue a career in modelling, gracing billboards and
calendars and television adverts. She is also
widely known as the mother of popular
musician Flavour’s first daughter.
Chris who has a twin brother, has also not
done badly for himself, as he won the Gulder
Ultimate Search (GUS) season 8 and is currently
one of the most sought after fresh faces in
Nollywood, adding many awards to his
collection. Chris also does a bit of modelling and has graced many billboards just like his
elder sister. These two never stop showering
each other with love on social media.

Who dem epp!?

3. Mikel and Edgar Obi

Mikel and Edgar Obi Mikel who plays professional football for both
the Nigerian national team and English premier
league side Chelsea FC, has enjoyed a
measurable amount of success since the start of
his career. The footballer has also amassed
some fortune from doing what he loves and has helped change the situation of his family.
His younger brother Edgar, even though
thought to be living under his brother’s
shadow, is trying to make a name for himself in
his chosen field.
Edgar who is signed to a record label floated by
his elder brother Mikel, MMM records, is
pursuing his love for music. Even though the
upcoming musician has been away from the
music scene for about 3 years after releasing a
couple of singles and videos, he is said to have returned and is getting set to appear onto the
Nigerian music scene with a ‘bang’.

4. Oluwatobiloba Daniel and Sophie

Anidugbe Kiss Daniel and sister Sophie Being the more popular one, handsome singer
Kiss Daniel caught our attention after dropping
the song ‘WOJU’ which went on to become a
monster hit. The musician who is fast
consolidating his stand as a force to be
reckoned with in the Nigerian music industry, has shown time and time again that he’s not in
the industry to be a ‘one-hit-wonder’.

What most people don’t know, is that Kiss
Daniel’s elder sister is an On Air Personality
(OAP) who works with Cool FM in Kano. The
young lady who doesn’t bask in her brother’s
spotlight seems to really enjoy doing her job.

5. Padita and Amanna Agu

Padita and Amanna Agu Padita who is popularly known for acting in the
then NTA sitcom US and several other
Nollywood movies, took a break from her
career to complete her education. The actress
also took acting classes in the New York Film
Academy, and is back to doing what she loves.

Amanna who is popularly known by his stage
name MC Amana, is a comedian who has done
well for himself. Despite being siblings with an
otherwise popular actress, the comedian has
continued to excel in his chosen field, hosting
the dis-speakable me comedy show while also producing events and hosting TV shows.

One thing is certain, there’s a dominant trait these siblings share, and that’s a hunger for excellence, as none wants to just be known as ‘so so and so’s sibling.
