Question of the day: Do you think Nigerian celebs need bodyguards?

Don Jazzy, Wizkid, Davido, Iyanya, Terry G and a few other Nigerian celebs all have bodyguards. I thought they should definitely have bodyguards until I heard an argument yesterday. Some people think it's absolutely unnecessary. What do you think?

PLEASE the way wizkid is mobbed when he's in public he needs it before he is crushed to death....its not about someone killing them its preventing being hugged to death

Anonymous said...

I think they need it in ds kind of environment we live in,where we have thugs,they can rough handle them,steal from them and even harrass them,imagine cossy going out without bodyguard,they can strip her naked,rape her or even stone her to death!

its good dey have body guards, cos it'll provide jobs for people. You can imagine those body guards witout jobs, dey can do more dan molest people around dem all d time.

I feel it cums wit d growing rate of ur success,achievements,etc. It's a tin of d mind, every high earning celebrity reaches dt point where dey feel dey av enemies or shud av. Any which, it's a personal decision, not a copycat tin. #jst ma opinion#

Anonymous said...

I think dey shd , sometime ago wizkid was robbed of his new ride n wit all dis kidnapping and all. God is indeed d ultimate but since dey have so much money n can afford it. Why not.....

Unknown said...

na wa ooo all of dem go just de smell follow eachother for this heat.... however money is good!!! if u have it, use it

rossy said...

To me there is no need for dat, why not trust in God for security? Even those top politician still get kidnaped wit their so call security men. Who knws it might even those u tink dat re securing u re d ones behind wat u re facing ℓ☺ℓ!

Unless in the case of a female artiste to defend them during assault, like when Karen got assaulted by a police if she had a body guard it might not have turned out that, as for guys hmmmn! I think they still do, they could be in beef with someone that is stronger than them, and he might just corner them on one street and beat them up. U know anything can happen.

nigerian celebrity love unneccesary attention, the like showing off and thats d basic reason the do all these things. American celebrities get bodyguards bcoz of crazy fans buh nigerians show off wealth on twitter then get bodyguards bcoz the r scared. Nawao abegi z not asif they cannot walk on the street and be ignored

All of our lives is in God's hands. Our Celebs should give God a chance, if death comes knocking, a billion Body guard can stop it! I guess its becos of d constant harrassment from fans sha.

Anonymous said...

I know alot poor Nigerians would come on here criticising these people for having bodyguards..We all know how nigerians treat celebrities, harassing them all that. Like they broke wizkid car for not giving them money. So think deeply before you start criticising them for been cautions of there safety

Anonymous said...

Its not about shooting, but when you're attacked which is more likely and often if you're a celeb, its neccessary to always have people around you capable of protecting you. Simple.

Is their life they can do what they want to, it's their money they can spend it if they want to #miley's voice!!!
Seriously if one feels his/her life is in danger or need protection from a guard, why not? Celebs here in Us have guards so why can't those in Nigeria or any other country?
@ miss Gemini, Celebrities don't hire bodyguards bcos they feel they can protect them from gun men or they feel they are God. They need them to protect them from car chase from crazy fans, any fan who might do crazy things to hurt them just for publicity, bcos when u are famous, people get crazy. Madonna had a stalker with mental illness whom convinced himself that they were married. Also its hard to walk around the street with lots of paparazzi flashing their cameras, and of course many more reasons..

Me I don't knw abt oda celebs o, but Davido AKA "omo baba olowo" sure needs body guardsssssssssss cz he's a tiny guy, n can easily be intimidated n harrassed by anybory. And if d guy gets kidnapped peren, his rich fada must pay fat

Just the way u feel the need to own a phone and then buy one, if anybody at all not just a celebrity feels the need to have bodyguards let them do so if they can afford it n if that makes them feel safe after all what has the govt done abt our security, nothing! Everyone needs to sort their security out their self

Having a bodyguard doesn't guarantee ur safety. It is very unecessary,why becos,anyone who wnts to harm u wil first of get ur bodyguards out of d way b4 they get. God is d only assured bodyguard we can ever have. They should try being humble and simple no matter hw much u hv or hw popular u re. Fr me its unecessary.

U know wot we gwan men. Metschew! In my words, penny wise and pound foolish! They should only employ a body guard when they have shows/concerts/tours joor! They don't know what is called discreet, na d activities from the body guards go help GPRS dem location and the so called "enemies" go Nokia map them and kpai their lives for them.

Anonymous said...

They certainly need bodyguards,the current Nigerian situation does not give room to stars moving around without bodyguards, don't forget these stars do flaunt their wealth on instagram and other social media platforms.. these automatically make them potential targets for street thugs would want to "obtain" and kidnappers also.

take a cue from what happened to Olamide at computer village. not that he should have gone there in the 1st place as a celebrity but yea, i think they do. if you are a celebrity. whether you are loved or hated, you need protection from mobs

They sure do. To protect them from kidnappers. I mean this are celebrities. What is the difference between Jay Z and Don Jazzy. If Jay can keep 3 bodyguards why can't Jazzy have 1 or 2.

Nigerians are jealous people, the celebrities definitely need body guards with all those jewelleries and Rolex's they wear on their body. I have witnessed Tuface almost being striped naked by so called fans if not for the body guards at the beach that day I am so sure he would have ended in the hospital that day. If a celebrity is popular and can afford it then he or she should..

Its very important they have body guard, cos some fans can be so nasty, holding them,robbing them some could even tear their clothes... Body guard or security guard always prevent that.. Have seen cases like that just saturday @ the Esama of Benin (Igbinedion) birthday.. Jaywon, Chuddy K and Slizzy E was almost robbed by fans rushing them if not for the security guards and bouncers that was there...
