Birthdays are joyful moments where we celebrate life and a new age.

More often than not, you may cross paths with someone who happens to be born in the same day or month as you!

If you're October born, there is a handful of Nigerian celebrities born in that same month.

Here are 10 handpicked celebrities from our motherland that were born in October and will be adding a new age soon!


Continued in the comments

1. ASISAT OSHOALA - October 9, 1994


Here's one woman that can play football better than many men.

Asisat is well known for her goal scoring abilities and now plays for FC Barcelona as a forward.

She has won respectable awards and is a model for many young women with passion in sports.

2. REGINA DANIELS - October 10, 2000


Yes! The new wife of 59 year old billionaire, Ned Nwoko will be marking her day this month.

What is more shocking is the fact that she became a mother before turning 20!

Nonetheless, expect her birthday bash to be loud.

3. DAKORE EGBUSON AKANDE - October 14, 1978


I grew up watching this beautiful woman in films even before 2007.

She has acted alongside top Nollywood actors like Ramsey Nouah, Desmond Elliot, Kenneth Okonkwo.

Surprisingly! This successful woman dropped out of UNILAG because of incessant strike and went to pursue acting.

Happy birthday to her in advance!

4. IDOWU PHILIPS - October 16, 1942


Iya Rainbow is another October born and a veteran in the Nigerian movie industry.

Her acting goes way back and if you were born in the 2000s, there is a slight chance you may not know her.

She commands respect among many Nigerians and keeps aging gracefully, even in her 70s.

5. JOHN OKAFOR - October 17, 1961

Mr Ibu, as he is most known. This man was born to make people laugh.

His rise to fame started with his trademark portrayal of silly, dull or imbecilic characters in a very funny way.

It is very shocking to know that he is not far away from turning 60.

6. TEMITOPE ADEKUNLE - October 19, 1996

You know him as 'Small Doctor', he is considered to be a street sensation and well known for his hit single, Penalty.

What you may not know is that he dropped out from UNILAG to pursue a career in music.

I'm not a fan, but i love how original and amusing his music is.

7. NSE IKPE ETIM - October 21, 1974

You may have seen her on your TV screen.

Nse Ikpe Etim is in my opinion one of the most professional actresses in Nigeria.

No surprise as she studied Theatre Art in the University of Calabar.

8. PATRICIA TEMITOPE ALABI - October 27, 1970


Known by her stage name, Tope Alabi. Not many people know she bears the name 'Patricia'

You may have seen her in AfricaMagic Yoruba or heard some of her songs without even knowing.

She has worked as a correspondent in NTA and popular for her hit debut album, Oore Ti O Common.

I consider her a pacesetter for Yoruba gospel music, she is really worth celebrating!
