14 Insane (But True) Reasons You Too Can Be A Celebrity - By Juventus ifem

Before you think of giving up on your celebrity dream, why not check out reasons not to.

I decide to put this article together after my discussion with an upcoming artist at the 4^th Nigeria entertainment conference. According to him, he is tired of this whole super star dream and just want to give up because the dream does not worth it but  Dreams they say are like stars, you may never touch them but if you follow them, they will definitely lead you to your destiny. 

Everyone have a dream, some dream to be great, while others dream to live simple but most dream to be a star, to be a celebrated personality that will be worshiped and talked about by many. But due to life events, low self-esteem and depressions of life, so many are losing hope and are giving up on their star dream. That dream of been on a big stage with a large crowd of fans hailing at their performance or that dream of been on a TV screen and on the daily papers and blogs. But they forgot that achievement of dreams is a process that you have to undergo slowly but strong in determination.

Before you take that costly big decision on giving up on that your star celebrity dreams, either because of previous failures, depression, or because your family and friends look down on you as a confused idiote or you have no fund, or because that promoter or producer told you that you can’t make it, why not check out this reasons why I believe you can as I share and motivate you with examples from your mentors.

According from his statement in an interview with toolz, they were times that he was so broke and he will have to form staff soldier in boarding a bus. He even have to let go of school to be able to stay focus in order to achieve his dream

Today, that guy you see on that pics, his this same fresh man whom every lady wanna test his lips. If he had given up on his dreams, what would he have become.

He might be a prophet but this is our renewed know producer who has made so many award winning beats and produced so many hit songs in Nigeria.

If he had given up on his dream, who knows if he might have been in one church choir just singing and beating drums, but he stood strong and was able to harness that skill not just for the church but also for Africa and the world at large. Today that have made him the DON DOROBUCCI.

He has won several awards and he is also an ambassador to many brands. From his story, I think one should learn that where you are coming from does not matter but rather your determination to succeed is what counts.

BOVI

LOL this is a throwback pics of Nigeria comedian Bovi. looking funny with his eyes right?..... his journey started from extended family series which he packaged and produced. there was once a time he could not afford 3 scare meal, nor good cloths not to talk of a car

but today, he is all fresh and clean, standing as one of the top comedians in Nigeria but his journey was not an easy one.

we have talked about some few celebrities but we cant talk about them all but yet they are more like Ali baba the man who paved a way for Nigeria comedians.or is it Julius agwu, he too got his own story to tell. Timaya from the inception of his career kept singing about his struggles. so definitely, you should know his story was not a fried rice and chicken or his it MI who could not fly back abroad and his world was chattered but today stands as the Boss of choc city. They all have their stories to fame, do not give up and some day, your struggle will be a story.

I hope from this case studies and stories, I have been able to convince you that you too can be a star but you need some hard work, determination and mostly, get information and be structured.
