L-R: Tonto Dikeh, D'banj, Cameron Okoye |
Today (9th June), is the birthday of top Nigerian entertainment stars. Nollywood actress,
Tonto Dikeh, Nigerian international music star, D’banj and Cameron Okoye, the
son of Peter Okoye of Psquare are some of the names I can recall.
Tonto Dikeh was born on June 9,
1985. She was born into a family of seven in Ikewerre, Rivers State .
She
emerged first runner up in The Next Movie
Star reality TV show and since then she has gone on to become a regular
face in Nollywood movies, raising her profile under controversial
circumstances.
Born Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo, international music
star, D’banj is 32 today. I think he has made more news than any other Nigerian
entertainer this year, including his break-up from Mo’hits, the release of his UK singles
which has been garnering attention worldwide, etc. He has won several music
awards including the awards for Best African Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007,Artist of
the Year at the MTV Africa Music Awards 2009, and BET Awards of 2011 for Best International Act;
Africa.
