It’s no news that the Nigerian entertainment industry is often
referred to as the Hollywood of Africa, with
international recognition from various quarters.
This piece is in furtherance of this popular notion, as it seeks to recognize some of the most stylish male celebrities around here.
Our list of stylish celebrities here cuts across the music and movie industry in Nigeria, but the common feature is in the suave nature of these men. We can all disagree on a lot of things, but not in the fact of these guys being absolute style icons, well, as far as 2015 is concerned.
In addition; most, if not all of these men are brand figures which explains that their public image has been another key factor that helped in compiling this.
Another factor we considered is their ability to light up the red carpets, their strong blend of traditional attires as well as the overall swanky air around them.
