Kate Henshaw’s Poster

She’s beautiful, she’s gorgeous and we love her. Known for so many roles on TV and in movies, the actress announced a couple of months ago, that she was taking a break from acting to join politics for eight years. She sited lengthy stays in politics as reason for much of the problems in Nigeria, on top of corruption on the part of government officials. Though she also said she had no money to share, and that she will not enter politics for the purpose of financial gain, instead she will “push” herself to better the country. Apparently, Arnold Schwarzenegger is her living proof that it can be done.

Better known for his breakout songs ‘Gongo Aso’ and ‘Street Credibility’ with 2Face, the artiste announced his intention to run for a position in the House of Representatives seat for Ogbomosho North/South/Orire Federal Constituency of Oyo State in the February general election of 2015. This probably explains his absence from the music scene.

Julius Agwu Looking Like a Governor

Julius Agwu

He’s a successful actor, comedian and businessman who is about to take his success into politics. Julius Agwu believes he’s capable of becoming governor of Cross River state. According to him, “Becoming the governor of Rivers State was not something that came up overnight. It was not on my radar back then. The people of Rivers State in the Diaspora and those in the State have been clamouring for me to come out as an aspirant. They believe I have what it takes to go for it. It just dawned on me that I indeed have what it takes. I have given it a serious thought and have given in to their pressure.” We can’t wait to see how this plays out.

Yes! He’s keeping the hair.

Tony Tetuila

A veteran of contemporary Nigerian music, he was a member of the hiphop trio ‘The remedies’ and its first member to have a successful solo career. Who knew that when he sang about Tinubu hitting his car, a spark of political ambition was sparked. The singer has just announced his intention to run for the Kwara State House of Assembly, Irepodun Local Government. Should we be worried here?
