Just like us, most Nigerian celebrities didn’t always have an easy life before they became famous.

From Joseph Benjamin working as a security guard to Timaya a plantain seller, most celebrities began their careers making an earning doing menial tasks.

These celebrities had odd jobs before stardom:

1. Patoranking
Patrick Nnaemeka, Patoranking didn’t always have things rosy. Infact, the Headies Award Next Rated Artiste 2014 was a former Bricklayer and Rat Poison Seller on the streets of Lagos! He virtually rose from nothing to the star he is today.

2. Joseph Benjamin
Who would even think that polished looking actor, model and voice over artiste, Joseph Benjamin was also once a bus conductor, security guard, waiter, bakery worker and a shoe seller?

The MTN project fame host revealed in an interview that he went through various jobs before finally hitting it big in the movie industry.
