We have barely four days to draw the curtains to the end of 2020 which has been nothing short of chaotic.
The world was unpredictably plunged into pandemonium after the Covid-19 pandemic raised its ugly head and rather gloomily, there has been no cure yet as we match dejectedly to 2021.
A lot of popular figures also died this year (that’s not to say celebs never died in previous years) as the likes of Maradona, Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Boseman, and other local and international celebs reconciled with their ancestors.
In this write-up, we are going to look at five Nigerian celebs who turned heads in 2020 for the good, bad, andthe ugly reasons. See below;
