Nigerian Musicians Turn To Politics
A lot of Nigerian celebrities have always admitted to being multi talented and as a result, it’s an all too common occurrence to see them dabble out of their own niche to try other things. Whether or not the outcome is always desirable is definitely another kettle of fish.
Actors Omotola Jalade as well as Genevieve Nnaji tried their hands out at music with a studio album each- let’s just say those were definitely forgettable experiences.
Comedian basket mouth didn’t go as far as dropping an album but he dropped a single with Wizkid which was also far from perfect.
After running out of things to dabble into, our celebrities caught the politics bug and decided to run for elective positions en masse.
It seemed to be some sort of concerted effort as Kate Henshaw, 9ice, Desmond Elliott among others quickly became common sights on campaign posters.
Although musician 9ice lost out at the primaries and the fate of his fellow entertainers is still in the offing, the political awakening of Nigerian entertainers surely provided one of the highpoints of 2014!
