How To Become a Celebrity in Nigeria - Morakinyo Olugbiji

Although
 this works anywhere in the world, If you've dreamed of becoming popular
 and celebrated but you lost all hope because you 'don't have any 
talent' (even though we all have talents, but that's a topic for another
 day), then you need to read this. Many people who have no noticeable 
talents have been living as celebrities from time immemorial. In this 
brief and simple article, journalist/PR Expert, Morakinyo Olugbiji 
explains how they do it.

1.MARRY OR DATE A CELEB: If you can find one popular person to date or marry, it will rub off on you because the media will definitely be interested in talking about you since the love lives of celebs are considered 'newsworthy'. Even if you break up with that celeb, you'll continue to shine. Example of someone who attained popularity by marrying a celebrity is Oladunni Churchill.
After marrying actress Tonto Dikeh, the young man has been receiving 
free publicity even for his businesses. Bloggers and journalists have 
continue to inundate us with his activities. Whether it is hanging out 
in a club or visiting his grandmother, it is news as long as it is Tonto
 Dikeh's husband. There are many celebrities like that in Nigeria and 
abroad, both male and female. Remember Karrueche Tran? I rest my case 
with this one.

2.PARTICIPATE IN A REALITY TV SHOW: Just look for one of those 
reality shows out there to participate in and you are made! Who knew 
Miyonce until Big Brother Naija? Oh, you say cooking is his talent, but 
cooking is most people's skill just as bathing. Cooking is not an 
extraordinary ability. Besides, did Miyonce enter the show for his 
cooking? Absolutely, no! Maybe now that he is popular, he can use the 
cooking as another platform somehow. And Uriel? 
Also no noticeable talent. Thin Tall Tony? They said he is into dancing,
 but you and i know that he was already becoming famous in the Big 
Brother Naija house, before that news came. Infact most of those 
housemates have become famous now just by being on that show and not for
 any talent. Think about Tboss, the only thing she boasts of his her 
tattoo and piercing, and now she's famous all over Africa. 
We all love Efe, but dat one na rapper? Someone like Karen Igho was also
 not known for any talent before she became popular as a housemate and 
winner of Big Brother Africa. There are many other realty shows that 
require no talent to participate and once you enter, you will become 
popular whether you like it or not; whether you have talents or not.

3.HANGOUT WITH A CELEB: If you can't find a celeb to date or 
marry, you can still become a celebrity if you become their friend or 
just hang out with them most of the time. Even just one celebrity is ok.
 Make sure you are with them in the clubs or other social hangouts most 
of the time. Make sure you appear in most of their photographs being 
shared on social media or being taken by photojournalists. 
Also make sure you speak in their defense online or to the press 
whenever there are issues relating to them. Whatever happens, just don't
 bypass most opportunities to allow people notice that you are close to 
them. A very good example is Special Ed. 
Special Ed is that big dude who used to hang out wherever Wande Coal 
appeared, even in his videos. Later, he moved on to Davido. He is a 
smart guy though, when he became quite a popular face on the 
entertainment scene, he then started being a hype man for both artistes 
before he launched a rap career. 
I know that Noble Igwe has talent for writing and many folks in the 
entertainment industry know him for that, but most people outside the 
industry have come to know him more as Ebuka's friend or Banky W's 
friend thanks to the Nigerian blogs and main stream entertainment media.
 Did i mention that Ebuka himself was made popular by the first Big 
Brother Nigeria show? The exciting part of this concept is that, once 
you become popular, you can start thinking about a talent to monetise 
your popularity with, and that's if endorsement don't start pouring in.

4.BE CONTROVERSIAL: Afrocandy, Maheeda, Bobrisky, and Pretty 
Mike;what do they have in common? Highly controversial. I believe this 
is self-explanatory. Just do something that will spark public outrage 
and, Bingo! You hit the spotlight like a jackpot. It's easier in this 
era of social media because that's your platform or voice which will 
further help you to be seen and heard. 
Whether your selling point is a sextape or nude photos, it doesn't 
matter as long as it is something that is very offensive to any popular 
ideology, institution, theory, movement and what have you. You should be
 able to catch the attention of one or two important media platforms, 
blogs are preferable. Then, a horde of smaller, traffic-hungry blogs 
pick it up and you go viral! Congratulations my friend! You have already
 made it in this life. Lol. 
From this day forward, your publicity will be on autopilot as your 
social media pages become content sources. If you dare to step out at 
any event, you will be the darling of journalists and paparazzi. That 
some of these controversial people have millions of followers on their 
personal social media pages attests to the efficacy of this advice. 
There is a caveat to this one though, you will attract unprecedented 
critcisms that could make a weak-hearted person commit suicide. However 
if you can develop a thick skin towards the criticisms with persistence 
and innovation, they will be your ladder to fame.
