Etcetera comes for celebs in new article, says they own N200m homes in their dreams..lol

Etcetera is relentless. No matter how many times he's slammed by celebs, he still comes for them.  This time around he came for Oritsefemi and his N200m new home which he says he owns in his dreams..lol. He also came for Iyanya, D'banj, and Wizkid and their multi million Naira Lekki homes that don't exist. This Etcetera eh..lol. Read below...
Again, I’m going to go out on a limb here to talk on a subject that may not be very popular or nice to Nigerian celebs, especially the guilty ones. I have said it severally that just because someone is a celebrity doesn’t mean they are smart. They may have a talent or skill but many of them are not smart especially when it involves their finances. The old saying, “your lies will come back to haunt you” has never been more true than the recent cases of D’banj, Iyanya and Wizkid who are being kicked out of their homes after lying they owned the properties.
The residents of blogosphere boulevard were stunned when the news broke that D’banj got an eviction notice from his landlord and was also said to be highly indebted. Yes, it is hard to believe that someone of D’banj’s status could actually be thrown out of his house. But for those who know that the Nigerian entertainment industry is built on lies and more lies, it didn’t come as a surprise or a case of a cranky landlord. Entertainers are well rehearsed liars. They are not what they make you believe they are. Even the upcoming artist with just one song on radio issues a press release that they’ve bought a mansion in Lekki Phase One and a Range Sport SUV?

There was a time when it was strongly whispered that Don Jazzy and his crew owned Club Jonzing until the truth came out. You must have also heard that D’banj owns Koko Lounge. My brothers and sisters in habit of believing everything you hear, I wish you all knew how your favourite celebs laugh in their closet seeing you swallow the lies like fufu and draw soup. Let me give an example of how some artistes can be terrible liars, we were on a tour of five Nigerian cities with Basketmouth and his then Humour Unlimited monthly show sponsored by BAT. When we got to Enugu, a certain artiste was snoring like a broken trailer exhaust pipe in the bus on our way from the event centre to the hotel. I tapped him hoping to stir him up to reduce his noise but I was shocked when he woke up immediately swearing that he wasn’t snoring, that he was only trying to get our reaction. Our reaction? After snoring for about 20 minutes with a trail of saliva from one corner of his mouth to his shirt collar! O’boy some people can lie in Africa.

Did you hear it on breaking news when Iyanya bought a house in his dreams? His management must have thought it was a fantastic promo strategy then. If only they knew that not far into the future, Iyanya would be dragged by his balls across the floor of the internet, and that his aggrieved brother would take to twitter to inform everyone that Iyanya had been evicted (not from Project shame) from his dream mansion. Yes, it is double wahala for deadi-bodi and the owner of deadi-bodi but won’t it be tripple wahala for Oritsefemi and his management when fans eventually discovered that the N200m mansion he purportedly bought some months back was actually bought in his dreams and not in the real world? How much does he charge per gig and how long has he been playing these gigs to be able to afford a mansion of that amount? Isn’t it wonderful how naija entertainers think their fans and everyone else is shallow and gullible? 

Common sense should tell every artiste that these lies won’t achieve anything but hurt their careers in the long run when the truth is eventually revealed. Like it was revealed this week that Wizkid’s car hasn’t been paid for. True, some naija musicians make a lot of money, but not the kind of money they want you to believe. Does Oritsefemi look the part of a N200m house owner even with all his body cream? The telco brand ambassadors who are being coerced into lying about their endorsement fees can’t make such a preposterous claim not to talk of someone with no endorsement deal.

I shivered when I saw in some blogs over the week that Genevieve just bought a house in Ghana for a whopping $4m. This will go down as the grandmother of all lies told so far. Genny baybay, you should have asked yourself if there’s any house worth $4m in the whole of Ghana, except you bought the Ghana National Theatre which by the way may not be worth $4m. These lies are getting dumber by the day. The worst thing that can happen to any man is believing his own lies. 

If we had a system where entertainers are taxed for their acquisitions, the ridiculous and unnecessary lies will stop. They will speak the truth and nothing but the truth or so help them God.

Omg Fake lifes everywhere but please ooo I'm shocked that he mentioned my Genny!

Anonymous said...

All of you here SHUT UP!!! U all hail these same artistes when Linda and other bloggers (emm...Linda especially) hype their latest "acquisitions". Even Genevieve's Ghana "mansion" just last week. Una no get brain to think for one second ni?? At current exchange rate $4m is over N800m, seriously??? Unless her frequent trips abroad which has taken her off the Silverscreen means she is seriously trafficking drugs for the biggest Colombian drug cartels or something just as sinister, what does she do, has done or has invested in that will afford her such an amount. One who shells out $4m for a house amidst living a life of luxury like she portrays to is expected to be worth no less than $10m @ least. Do the math, you silly bums and then clap your hands again whilst hailing "my Genny baby", "Queen Genny".

Now if they were humble enough to say they bought their houses on mortgage, wouldnt that make better sense and is more honorable that giving impression they actually paid in full?

As for DBanj, thank God Linda "stylishly" exposed the secret of his so-called private jet-like limo he posed in and called his new gift to himself after that "Ciroc endorsement" deal. That Ciroc sef, have y'all wondered why its only our dear Banky W that went to Ibiza? Bcos he is still the ONLY one and authentic Ciroc ambassador is why!!! Guys and Dolls, stop dulling yourselves with stupid hero worship. Eye don open pass this jor!

I read etc aritcles beliveing dat d are true until I read d one he said that Nigerians will not buy LOYA MILK becos Don Jazzy is d Ambasdor which I found to be black lie cos I drink LOYA MILK cos of him. In d offix d know that Don Jazzy is wat I drink and that's what the coy gives me every two months while some others get Stephen keshi that's how we call it.So from then I don't believe everytin he writes cos it could be out of jealousy.

As for many of you asking him what is his business, you all need to know this lies is already destroying the spirit of hard work and professionalism among our youths. Many now believe the only way to be rich is be a singer or that the singers indulge in drug peddling. This is also part of the failure on the path of our government too. They made it look like anything goes in Nigeria. If any of you will want to be honest you need to ask how many albums do this guys sell. How many people pay for downloading their songs? How much can they be earning per show and what's the turnover in a year? If you add all together you will understand they will have to be involved in shady deals to own whatever they claim they have going by their exotic life style. It's either they are lies or they are criminals. This is a wake up call to government who should put some search light on this guys and ascertain where those monies comes from.

Just leave them with their cock n bull stories... There are so much full of fallacies lmao

Damochedxb said...

Hahaha haha the Ghana National theatre. ... That one got me too... Grand mother of all lies. But on the real tho. If these guys charge an average of like 10k USD per show and lets say have like 3 shows per month (some are booked way more than that) , thats like 30k USD in a month and like 360k USD in a year, so minus bills for their crew etc... Lets say an a lister is left with 200k (40mil naira now) just from shows alone in a year, not to talk of endorsement, musics sales and business, why can't and won't they afford like lets say a 50-75mil naira house (Even if its half payments first and the rest in installment)?? Its not rocket science. These guys even have private events, wedding gigs, etc. So Mr ETC we know many of them lie, but a few of them have been truly blessed.

What is d need of publicity with lies at the end of the day your get kicked out and d whole world knows d truth.. Pls dey are wey better strategies to create publicity

I loveeeee thissss. All they do is LIE LIE LIE LIE!!! Kai our celebs can really lie, many times I have wondered how much they really make from their music/movies that they would be living "some" kinda life styles. Its pathetic plus those that sleep with everything just to carry hermes bag et al. We need guys like dis to put dem in check walahi. I always look forward to his write up&Novia's own too.

I did not hear of must of the so called rumors and dont care much what Etcetera says, happy for the successful celebs, good for the liars

Anonymous said...

To hype something is to draw attention to what is real. What naija celebs do is to lie and that's wrong. They give people the impression that you can gain so much for not doing a lot and if you're honest you'll admit the effects are detrimental to our value system.

What's wrong with buying a house on mortgage or car on loan? They'll have to pay them off at a rate calculated for people at their level. That's middle class living and still a pretty comfortable existence. As long as they pay their bills when they're due, I don't see anything wrong with having a balance on purchases.

The same Oristefemi dt came for a show in Warri and said "I Be Delta State Boy And Nobody They Help Me".... If He Had much He no go talk Wetin e talk.... Rubbish To Bad Radiance!!!!

But Etcetera should have also written about some successful Musicians like Dr. Sid who publicly owned-up to taking a Loan from a Mortgage Institution to Buy his 4 Bed Room Semi Detached Duplex.

All the same good write-up
