First of all, let us consider the 4 types of celebrities according to how they became famous as written and named by me as written and named by me.
A) ACQUIRED CELEBRITIES: These people became celebrities as a result of their family background. A child or relative to a celebrity is automatically a celebrity too .E.g Yusuf Buhari.

B) ATTAINED CELEBRITY- These are people who became popular and well known as a result of them showing forth their skills and talents . Majority of celebrities fall into this category. They includes a Nobel prize winner, award winner, actors,artistes, renown doctors,lawyers, broadcasters,Journalists,bloggers,athletes,footballers,academicians and so on.

C) OPPORTUNE CELEBRITY- I also classified another set of celebrity called the opportune celebrity.These people became celebrities, after been selected or elected to a popular position or rank. They can also be called the privileged celebrities. There are other people who are equally qualified for that same position of which one or a certain maximum number must be chosen. All politicians in a leadership position, chairmen of commissions, vice chancellors,kings etc could be regarded as opportune celebrities. Also an athlete selected among a 23- man quad to represent a team or country for the first time at a tournament could also be referred to as a privileged or opportune celebrity. Those people become exceedingly popular as a result of this even after leaving that position.

D)ASSOCIATE or ASSOCIATED CELEBRITIES- They become celebrity as a result of them interacting with other celebrities. These people mix or relate with already known celebrities. Ego, a former co-singer with Lagbaja can be classified into these category. Others include denrele, Kenny Ogungbe, and Asari Dokunbo. Also the Spouse, Boss, Photographers, personal assistance, aids etc to a celebrity could be referred to as an associate celebrity.

Now let us consider the various things you are likely to face if you become a celebrity. Have you ever imagine why some celebrities like footballers,popular film actors are paid huge amount of money? To me i believe it is an indirect way of compensating them of what they would face has a result of the job they offer.


1) LOSS OF FREEDOM- A celebrity would be unable to do or go to major places an average man would go or do. Strolling down a major street, going to Market, Banks or some social gatherings or party. This is one of the greatest disadvantage of being a celebrity as a lot of people want to have a autograph or a picture or hug and handshake with a celebrity causing them to rally round you in public places.

2) LOW PRIVACY- especially in this age of technology where blogging and camera phones are the order of the day. All eyes are on you in public gatherings.Even many things happening in your home of which you don't want people to know could be lick out to the world to see.

3)INSECURITY: A lot of people often connect popularity to wealth. Once you are popular, they believe you should have some fat pocket. This mentality often posses the life of many celebrities to danger.
Kidnapping, arm robbery, falling victims to dupers,stalkers,hackers and so many other threat may arose.

4)UNABLE TO DISTINGUISH TRUE FRIENDS: As a celebrity, there are lot of people around you. Most of them with different motives. Therefore, it would be difficult to differentiate the real and the fake ones among them.

5)THEY ARE EASILY JUDGED: a celebrity is highly open to a lot criticism from both fans and foes. Their dressing,mistakes,speech ,actions and so on is open to a wide range of condemnation by various people.

6) FEAR AND ANXIETY: there could be fear in you that some people or opponents are after you. As a result, you tend to ensure all possible means to secure yourself and your entire family which could cause a build up in tension and anxiety.

7)LOW TRUST IN YOU : as celebrity, your leadership qualities is in doubt.Recently, some celebrities ventured into politics but virtually all of them lost out in the primary election. Many people tends to belittle the leadership capability or intention of such celebs.

) APPEARANCE IN PEOPLE'S DREAM: People you don't know may dream of you.A lady once claim that a particular actor often appear to her in her dream. There are equally other complains on the internet concerning this issue. Such dreams sometimes tend to have some meaning and interpretations attached to it.

9)) YOUR EXPENSES WOULD INCREASE: Some celebrities now go about with body guards or even security men. Those people had to be paid for. This would cause you to start spending some of your money on your security. Likewise some celebrities may tend to pay higher for some services, as many workers e.g barber,nurses etc may be invited to their homes to carry out their services. These people may tend to collect more money. Likewise,some celebrities would also prefer to take their children to those expensive schools in Nigeria or even abroad where they know the lives of their children would be secured.

10)BORING LIFESTYLE: an average man is free to go virtually any recreation center or gathering he wishes either for relaxation or fun. But unfortunately this is not the case for a celebrity. They are always selective in the type of gathering they go to.

11) UNABLE TO MEET ALL FANS: As a celebrity lot of people know you but unfortunately it is impossible for you to meet each of them one on one. You may not even know or meet 0.0000000001% of them throughout your life time.

12)LIVES ON MEMORY- they tend to live on memory of their past life. The type of life they live as a common man in the street before they became celebrities. Those lifestyle could be very interesting but unfortunately irreversible.

13) LIKELY TO COMPROMISE- as an entertainer,, you are likely to compromise in the service you render to your fans. Pride could spring up in you making you too loose your humble self. Also you may also tend to involve in some indecent role and characters of which you frowns at before.

14) FLUCTUATION IN CELEBRITY STATUS- A celebrity today may be no where to be found in the next 10 years. We call such people shooting stars. A better person could emerge whose qualities and skills surpass yours causing people to prefer him or her to you.

15) ENVY FROM OTHER CELEBRITIES- ''It seems you have suddenly rose to become a superstar''. Thereby indirectly depriving other celebrities of awards, chances etc. These could build up envy or rebellion from other celebrities to you.

16) GENETIC MODIFICATION: As a celebrity, you tend to force yourself to cope or adjust to your newly found nature. For instance, if you were once an extrovert before you became a celebrity, you now have to force yourself to living an introvert type of life.

17) PROPHESIES AND FALSE PROPHESIES- this is another disadvantage of being a celebrity. You could be victim to a particular prophet somewhere who may see a vision concerning you. Those visions may sometimes be non-specific i.e it could be generalize.At the same time they could be scary. Thereby causing a lot of confusion and fear.

18)LATE MARRIAGE: Late marriage is common among celebrities, a celeb who became popular before marriage may have to spend more time than an average man before he or she can marry. Probably due to fact that most celebrities wish to marry a descent,good looking, beautiful,tall,wealthy, educated, and responsible person. Every celebrity would prefer his or her fans to see him with such a person. As a result, they may keep on sampling and searching to get a perfect suitor for themselves. There inability to go to the street to get a common man could also be a factor.

19) DIVORCE AND SHORT DURATION OF MARRIAGE- Divorce and short duration of marriage is also common among celebrities. I am sure you must have heard of news of celebrities whose marriage had crashed in the last few years.
