Top 10 RICHEST Female Nigerian Artistes And Their Net Worth 2017
Here is a quick rundown of an estimated analysis of the net worth of the top 10 richest female Nigerian artistes.
You have to cut Nigerian female artistes some slack for dare competing in an industry that is male dominated. The ladies in music account only for a not-so-much percentile of the Nigerian music industry.
The guys maybe taking home good money but hey, the ladies are cutting big paychecks too. And they are equally doing good. The hustle is real for either male or female artistes.
However, this post highlights the top 10 ladies in music taking home the fattest paychecks. The net worth of some of our top female musicians will be analyzed and estimated to the most realistic value. Estimates are made from their performance/appearance fees, endorsements and music sales and tours.
Here is a quick rundown of an estimated analysis of the net worth of the top 10 richest female Nigerian artistes.
10. Niyola
Eniola Akinbo is Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) first lady. She is no new comer as she began her music career in 2005 as an affiliate of Eldee’s Trybe Records. Subsequently, Niyola was officially signed to EME in 2012. She is best known for her breakthrough Afro R&B hit ‘Toh Bad’ which earned her a couple of nominations and a Nigerian Entertainment Award as “Best Female Artiste” in 2013.

See How The Slogan “Base On Logistics” Come About
Many people might just be hearing the words “Based on logistics” but they might not know how this phrase came to live.
Let me tell you:
EFE ( Winner of the Big Brother Naija 2017 Edition) was asked in Dairy Room if he wouldn’t want the evicted housemates to be returned, he said that he has no problem with that since he’s not the one spending on them.
He made the Big Brother understand that bringing the evicted housemates back will decrease his chance of winning the money ( 25Million Naira), he now said “Based on logistics, they shouldn’t be returned”
The money and the car are the logistics!
That was how ‘based on logistics’ was born!
Drop your own slogan let us learn !!
