One of the easiest ways to become a celebrity in Nigeria is to take part in a reality TV show.

However, some reality TV stars turned celebrities have found a way to become very popular not exactly for their talent or character rather they have become famous for all the wrong reasons.

More interesting is the fact that after their exit from reality TV, they didn't just stop being themselves, rather they have continued to exhibit and reveal a lot more of their controversial sides.
