15 Nigerian Male Actors Who Have Died But Are Still In Our Hearts
There are many Nigerian Male Actors Who Have Died and left us to wonder “why so soon”.
The truth is, there is never a right time for a person to die. Especially when that person is someone we love and adore.
Pain although sometimes unpleasant serves as a constant reminder of what was, what use to be and what will forever be lost in time no matter how much we yearn for it.
There are many Nigerian Male Actors Who Have Died in recent past that gave us the chills.
Their demise sent most of us into a shock that later became the psychological launch pad that most of us needed in order to start asking metaphysical questions.
Today we shall take time out to remember them. To show that they are not yet completely lost to time.
That we miss them even though their mortal page has reached the final line.

These Nigerian male actors who have died and gone to the great beyond were at one or the other the reason why we turned on our TV set.
They were so influential that it was hard taking notice of other equally talented actors.
And now that they are gone, the vacuum they left behind is still so real.
But the idea is not to mourn but to celebrate them.
I Am Done Making Babies - Timaya
Timaya like you already know just had a bouncing baby boy added to his list of children that was made up of just two girls.
And it is about time to call it quits according to the Egberi Papa.
According to him.
It is amazing to see a very rich man decide to make few babies even though he can afford to cater for much more.
This way these babies will get the best that money can afford and that is a good thing.
I hope poor people out there who thinks a large household is a sign of wealth would start having a rethink.

What If Your Favourite Nigerian Celebrity Is Gay?ì
What If Your Favourite Nigerian Celebrity Is Gay?
We all are aware of the obvious disdain the typical black man has for homosexuality and we all know that he would readily abuse and distance himself from anyone caught up in the act.
But whether we like it or not, there are those few blacks out there that we have come to adore that might actually be practicing homosexuality in private.
What then happens when we discover the truth about this few?
Do we automatically begin to hate them or see them as a living taboo, forgetting the the times they made us smile while acting or singing as entertainers?
There will always be homosexuals amongst us, no matter how much we preach against it. That is a fact.
And there is little we can do about it.
But what we can actually do is react to it. So I ask again, what would you do if one day a favourite Nigerian celebrity comes out as gay?
Would you scream or stay quiet?
Would you accept them or reject them?
As for those wondering if there are homosexuals in the Nigerian Entertainment Industry then the below paragraph from a past Interview with Mr. Ibu should suffice.
If you go to my page on Facebook, I fight vehemently against homosexuals; both gays and lesbians because these are viruses in the industry that kill the spirit. It is not good at all. There is no harassment as I speak to you; the harassment is within same sexes. Men harass themselves, and women harass themselves, so they are wonderfully preparing themselves for the devil, and I tell you, they will all go to hell. source
So what would you do?
What would be your response?

What kind Of Role Model Is Davido?
What kind Of Role Model Is Davido?
The Good or the bad type?
Looking at that image above you get to see an adult portraying the sagging trend which to the ignorant is fashion but how true is that.
How many people actually know the origin of sagging and why it is bad for our kids to emulate?
Personally, I think and believe sagging is a sign of irresponsibility.
Most sources report that sagging pants began in the prison system. Belts are not allowed to be worn, due to the fact that they can be used as weapons or as a means to suicide. This resulted in the ill-fitting generic pants, too large to stay up on their own, to ride low on prisoner’s hips. Hip-hop artists adopted this look in the 90s (because you're not cool, if you don't do time, right?), and it quickly became popular among the youth.
The most disturbing myth of the origin of saggy pants also comes from the prison system, and raises even more serious questions about why you'd want to emulate this trend. Sagging was said to be a symbol that the sagger was sexually available to other prisoners, or alternatively, already taken by another inmate.

But whatever it is, sagging is a dress sense we don't need celebrities teaching our kids.
