6 Nigerian Celebrities Whose Real Names We Bet You Didn't Know

Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade "Mr Eazi"

Have you ever tried to figure out the real names of your favourite Nigerian celebrities?


We know how they like to come up with weird aliases (aka stage names) which have a way of sticking in your brain.

So in no particular order here are our top 6 picks for male vocalists in Nigeria:

1. Tekno – Augustine Miles Kelechi

If I were given 10 guesses to nail this, I still wouldn’t get it.

2. Ycee – Oludemilade Martin Alejo

The Tinny Entertainment singer “busted” our speakers in 2015 with his hit track Jagaban.

3. Patoranking – Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie

Who knew Mr Whatyasay, Oga Alubarika was an igbo man.

4. Kiss Daniel – Anidugbe Oluwatobiloba Daniel

The baby-faced artist signed onto G-Worldwide Entertainment had us dancing to “Woju” in early 2016. His new track “Mama” is about the new wedding theme song.

5. Rekado Banks – Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon

Now this class is getting more interesting and educative. By now I’ve learned never to judge a book by its cover. Everything na “Standard.”

6. Selebobo – Oku Udoka Chigozie

Why in God’s name would anyone pick a name like that? Sele and Bobo. The first impression on my mind, Celestial Church of God Bobo.
