Award winning movie director Kunle Afolayan recently made a post on Facebook about the irritating demands Nigerian fans make of celebrities whenever they come across them or when the celebrities make any statement. Though the director made this known in a funny manner with his post, “being a celebrity in Nigeria”, he does actually make a lot of sense. His post is a set of rules which is satire on how Nigerians percieve celebrities. Check his post below.
- You must be a mobile ATM at all times. Very applicable to the following (Police, customs and immigration officers) at check points, airports and borders as well as area boys.*Fly* *run*
- You must never have personal problems only solve people’s problems. including buying breakfast for strange figures ‘ boys must chop’
- You must never have moods. It’s forbidden you are not human remember? *SUSPICIOUS**Brrrr*
- You must never have an opinion. its not permitted. Else you incur the people’s wrath.
- You must be ready to receive insults on social media platforms especially from annoying anonymous persons. and also be ready to be impersonated on Facebook with as many pages. Miscreants ripping innocent people off in your name.
- You must never have a life.
- You must be ready to over look and endure everything even if it’s to your detriment. After all you are a’Celeb’
- Be ready to pay your fans for seeing your movies or listening to your music. You are everyone’s fan! Ever been told ‘you are my biggest fans oo I dey watch your film oo make you settle. Hmmmm if I’m your fan I wonder what you are to me?
Well just follow these eight simple guidelines and you can never go wrong. Remember that’s the Price for fame. NOW THAT’S THE STORY OF MY LIFE!!!!
To be sincere isn’t this the way a large number of Nigerians react to celebs they see? Especially the giving of money to touts and not having an opinion on any issue.
