correct me if am wrong but i would like the opinion of nairaland members. for example maybe new york imagine a famous rapper on the streets someone like jarule just taking a walk down a street what do u think would happen...........he would probably be crowded by fans girls screaming ppl gathering for authographs u know that kind of thing . but why does that kind of thing never happen in nigeria ask ur self for ppl who live in areas where someone like rugged man two face or any of nollywood star have you ever seen something like dat happen b4 or just ask ur self which celebrity in dis country would u go crazy for if u saw passing by or walking down ur street

Wherever Tuface goes in and around Nigeria. He's always mobbed. Its crazy love for the gee.

As for me...its stupid...why should i cry or go gaga just because i met a star singer? I know better than that. I aint playerhating but i aint a child too.

1. The fact that he's a star doesnt make him better than me. He might be very good in singin..i'm also good in surgery so whatz d fuss?

2. Most of these stars get to superstardom on the shoulders of people. They are mere products that are beign packaged for the admiration of fans. They aint special. Most Super stars buy songs.

3. I see nothing matured in crying for a star. True i might shed tears when i hear a soul stiring song but not when i see the singer. He's just as human as i am.


They are not super humans. U can be a star too. If u talk about appreciating them for what they do , fine but beign crazy at sightin celebrities? Thats childish.

Nigerians dont go crazy over celebrities but that doesnt mean
we are not fans oh. Girls do stop to ve a pix with tuface(brother is fine)
but say to start crying or dying over a celeb (like my babbyboy seun he is a celeb in NL).....it is not Nigerian period!

Secondly we like to 'form' for 9ja
and we dont like making the other person feel too good about him/herself[b](@layi) [/b]
xcept if u ve been influnced by oyibos, it is unNigerian
to ask for autograph  

Secondly we like to 'form' for Nigeria
and we don't like making the other person feel too good about him/herself(@layi)

..and whats the point in making them feel too good about themselves? Appreciate them no doubt but why go gaga crying?  Calling that forming is parochial. The fact that oyinbos do it don't mean its norm.

layi you don't understand, these celeb are
role model to them so the fact that they are in their presence is just
too much (like u i don't see the big deal)

layi tell me if you wont cry when beyonce kisses u
or A. Keys? just kidding

celebrities are like people i see every day, every person to me is a celebrities if they want to be, that why i don't go crazy when i seen one.

Well.. crying over a celeb is one of the last things i'll do. OMG i just saw bow wow.. OMg *cries*. Like wtf am i?? Hell no... i aint fina cry cos i saw a goddarn celeb. that's just me!

But i'll be happy to see them tho, take a picture n appreciate them. Esp the ones im longing to see. But i won't turn to a mad person cos i saw them. Nahh!

as for me o! i see a celebrity each time i look in the mirror

i wouldnt go crazy if isee 2face or usher or bow bow, they are human beings like me they only have more money

The problem there is just the way we are in Nigeria, we never seem to appreciate something even if we like that thing.
The reason why it is like that in the western world, it's because they appreciate whosoever gat talent, but in Nigeria as a whole, they will tell you that your "igberaga" too much.
There is nothing we can do about it, it's just our freaky nature

the way americans react to celebs is craziness , n its mostly us young girls

well i don't see anything wrong with it. I can do the same thing, but i prefer i stay cool and not loose it.

I gbadun u for that comment--correct chic..oya gba si bee

I gbadun u for that comment--correct chic..oya gba si bee

u well at all?

well i think its not just how culture nigerians are not like that and true we form a lot people would just wave or something like dat

but ........has any one seen 2 face concert in ivory coast come and see girls crying shouting jumping on stage to hug the guy ...come i never see that kind thing happen for nija before

me think that ivory coast concert was planned cos the same set of girls went on stage
more than once.

As for me, they don't look half human

celebrities are overhyped by well oiled PR agencies in the states. But we dont have such in Naija so the celebrities are not better than the fine girl next door. some of our stars, such as 2face, can still pull crowd based on their own charisma

The average Nigerian has too many problems to worry about than to be shouting and running after one celebrity on the streets.When u r hit by the vagaries of life u wont even recognise tuface on the streets!!!

na only u God go bless for this thread..... ^{with me oh!}

The fact is that it's not in the average Nigerian's personality to idolize anybody. nigerians see people in the entertainment industry as ordinary people with ordinary jobs. u can't expect any more than that. and if pple r screaming over tuface, it's primarily cos he's fine not that he sings so brilliantly or anything.

all the PR agencies in the world won't get nigerians screaming over u. u might be robbed, mobbed but few people'll ask 4 ur autograph. it's not a nigerian thing. that's about it.

playboy is right.

I disagree with all u girls saying 2face is mobbed just because he's fine.

Meeeeen, there are several handsome bobos (who would beat tuface hands face down) walking on the streets. they dont get mobbed.
He is mobbed coz he is a SUPERSTAR. Simple!!.

i am not crazy about celebrities because they are humans like me, i am not just going loose it or start crying like some people do because i saw my favorite celebrity hell oh no. oh i almost forgot . i am a star too, so you see i can't go crazy for people like me. .

layi we know he is a superstar, the icing on the cake is his finess
there is a popular bini saying that goes: "women always follow the guiter player"

but eh eh....are u among the 'several handsome bobos'?[[/b]b]

I haf mai pisure on mai Intro Page .

ok u dey among but u no be celeb so no one will go crazy over u

thelastdon:

u well at all?

Why u ask?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ORACLE HAS GONE CRAZY
