Many Nigerian celebrities did odd jobs before fame.From Timaya working as a plantain seller to Banky W working as a sales boy,life was not easy for many of them at early stage.The celebrities below did odd jobs before stardom.


1. Timaya

Back in the days, Timaya was a great
‘hustler’ and a very good Plantain
seller. Yes! The Egberipapa 1 of Bayelsa
was a Plantain Seller who lived with a
lady who took him in after his landlord
sent him packing in Port-Harcourt.


2. Patoranking

Patrick Nnaemeka, Patoranking didn’t
always have things rosy. Infact, the
Headies Award Next Rated Artiste 2014
was a former Bricklayer and Rat Poison
Seller on the streets of Lagos! He
virtually rose from nothing to the star
he is today.

3. P-square

Although they are one of Africa’s
biggest artistes now, but these two
actually went through hell before the
money started coming in.
Peter once worked as a Supermarket
Attendant while Paul did Some Electrical
repairs for money.

4. Mercy Johnson Okojie

Nollywood star actress, Mercy Johnson
Okojie once opened up about life before
the fame, money and marriage where

from her squalor to become one of
Nigeria’s most celebrated star.

an uncompleted building, she once
worked as a maid just to make ends
meet.


5. Don Jazzy

Before Don Jazzy became famous and
made fellow producers feel inferior, the

the neighborhood Church. He did
various odd jobs including working at
McDonalds as a security guard while
trying to hit it big.

6. John Okafor

For comic actor, John Okafor, he was
not in anyway born with a silver spoon.
In an interview recently, he said before

firewood, was a butcher and a hair
stylist.

7. Joseph Benjamin

Who would even think that polished
looking actor, model and voice over
artiste, Joseph Benjamin was also once a
bus conductor, security guard, waiter,
bakery worker and a shoe seller?
The MTN project fame host revealed in
an interview that he went through
various jobs before finally hitting it big
in the movie industry.


8. Banky W

It’s hard to believe but there was a time
when EME boss, Banky W took on the
job of a sales boy to make money for
studio time in the US.
The RnB crooner worked in fast foods
outlets, clothing stores and as a knife
salesman, selling knives from door to
door.

Following criticisms from many Nigerians that Rotimi Amaechi does not deserve ministerial nomination due to an alleged corruption,Comedian Okey Bakassi has aired his view on the issue.According to him,both Amaechi and Fashola deserve their nomination because a workman is entitled to his wages.

Read what he said below....

"Fellow Nigerians, I have not commented on National issues for a while. I've been minding my business.....

I've been following the controversies generated by the ministerial LIST.

My opinion:

It will be against the law of natural justice not to include Rotimi Amaechi in PMB's list.

Even the holy book says.....a workman is entitled to his wages...... We have all sinned and come short of the glory.....

Amaechi put everything he had...plus his life on the line , towards the campaign and election of PMB. It will be an act of wickedness for him not to benefit from it. 

On the allegations of corruption against Amaechi; I'm not EFCC, ICPC, CCT or GOD to pass judgement ....nobody in the entire government is 100% clean, why single out Amaechi or Fashola.

Let it be on record that I supported PDP in the last election and still support them and I did not collect money from anyone for my support.

I may not like Amaechi's role in the removal of GEJ but I support his inclusion in the ministerial list. It's only fair that "person wey follow work, must follow chop". He's also one of the few that look like youth in that list.

I also think they should leave Saraki alone to ......

I want to see how much CHANGE we can actually get.

Have a fun weekend @okeybakassy''
