30 Nigerian Celebrities And Their Interesting Birth Names
For many in the entertainment industry, image building is an important aspect of their career and this is why a lot of effort goes into making sure that a singer, actor, actress, e.t.c, strike the right chords with the public at all times.
There are different factors to be considered whenever a creative makes the debut into the limelight, but one out of several important things that can make or mar an individual’s career is the choice of name.
A case in point is the popular Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality show. Participants are known to usually dump their real names or adopt some stylistic effects just to catch the attention of the voting public.
This is also similar in the music industry. Artistes are known to put in a lot of effort and consideration into choosing their stage names. It usually has to be one that is easy on the mouth, sweet to the ears and quick to remember.
