very poor numbers of followers from our celebs....
This shows you that we need a lot of work and improvements to do in our entertainment industry..

this is why we must appreciate wizkid for the improvements he is bringing to Africa entertainment industry..
even an ordinary American model has more than 10 million instagram followers.

America have the population and a large number of people surfing the internet compared to Nigeria,
Most fans of most of these artists ain't on social media, me for instance there are so many artists i know and i like Thier music but I don't follow on Social Media.

I am not surprised, typical response from an olamide fan. Insults, insults, insults, no substance. BTW olamide does not have 2.1 million followers on IG and how do you compare an Olamide who you guys believe is the happening thing to a 2face who belongs to an older generation? Are u saying that olamide is now a "has been"?
Shut up and sit ur silly ass down. Olamide has over 2m followers on IG,what d op put up there is just crap. Endorsements are awarded to celebrities naht only based on their physical popularity buh social media presence and followers. Will Glo,Surebet,Etisalat,Guiness&Ciroc will so dumb to award Olamide endorsements if Korede Bello or Lil Kesh get followers pass him. Imagine Reekardo having more followers than D'banj and Timaya,I give up.

I don't know what you are ranting about. I actually stated facts. Olamide has 2.2 million followers not 2.1 like the uncouth guy I quoted wrote and if you were not a silly ass yourself, you would actually know that Korede actually has more followers on IG than badoosneh. Korede has 2.3 million followers and that's a fact
