Also known as pseudonym and screen name, stage names are one element that most celebrities (Nigerian celebrities included), actors, comedians, musicians, and even wrestlers cannot do without. Writers also have brand names which they call “pen names,” and often, these “fake” names get all the fame while the real names gradually fade into oblivion. You might wonder why these classes of people tend to always use stage names. It is because their real name is considered unattractive, dull, or at times, it is difficult to pronounce. A stage name is supposed to project a certain image and attract attention to their particular craft while bringing a level of sophistication with it. We will give you the real names of 50 Nigerian celebrities and what they do for a living.<\/p>\n
