As an entertainer or business person or whatever you’re into, it is always smart not to build your entire career on a social media platform which might pack up on day.
How many Nigerian celebrities or entertainers can boast of still having a successful career life if all social media channels shut down.
1. Lasisi Elenu
Lasisi Elenu unlike Brother Shaggi, is one of the biggest Instagram comedians in Nigeria.
He is popularly known for is constant use of BIG MOUTH filter made by Snapchat. Many of us find him funny for the big mouth he uses while doing his funny rants.
But imagine snapchat with Instagram shuts down. How will Lasisi survive?

In anticipation of “SOAPY” video, Naira Marley requested for 40k comments on his IG page to release the video and it’s shocking that he got more than that in few hours.
He might have fight so hard to stay relevant as an artiste in the absence of social media.
4. Ikorodu Bois
This kids are wonderful and are superb in terms of creativity, they’ve done so many micmic of celebrities which earned them fame and thousands of followers.
Davido himself was flabbergasted when he watched one of the micmic they did for him. The 30BG boss wasted no time to announce N1m giveaway for them.

He is fond of doing Instagram Challenge among his fans. He gathered so many fans over the years from challenges like #FotifoyinChallege, #BottleCap“, #RedCupAndPapperFlipping and now #Bolanle.

6. Tundeednut
The Musician turns Instagram Blogger have made himself a force to reckon with on Instagram posting many random contents to entertain fans.
The truth is, Instagram kept Tunde Ednut‘s hope of being a star alive after the death of his music career.
He was like “mofedaku” (I wan die) on the day both whatsapp and Instagram temporarly went down. He might just do it for real if it’s a permanent shutdown.
7. Mr. Gbafun
His career got noticed through Instagram and ever since he has been putting a lot of work to maintain and sustain his Instagram fame.
Imagine Mr. Gbafun without an Instagram, baba might probably have to go back to his former job, Mechanic.
