Welcome to the 21st century in Nigeria. Smartphones are almost the
same cost as Johnny Rocket’s Hamburgers. Sim cards are free. Internet
services are fairly faster than Nipost’s emails. Information moves
quicker than Daily Times’ newspaper vendors. This change is affecting
everything. In the pre-GSM era, Nigerian Celebrities would pray for a
spot on Saturday Punch or the other weekend tabloids for exclusive
interviews or some amount of exposure. So, you were either good enough
to compete with the Sunny Okosun’s and Onyeka Onwenu’s or you were
frightening enough to hit the pages almost everyday as a Shina Rambo or
you were controversial enough to share spots with Regina Askia on these
newspapers. There was no internet. The masses kept abreast with
entertainment news only a week after the papers had been discarded.

problem with overexposure is that your news does not become news
eventually and people go like “oh Tonto.. Now what? Unto the next abeg”.
Who are the 8 celebrities in Nigeria who get more press, media
attention than they need for their health.
