The
test of a change in financial and social status in Nigeria has been shaped by
the celebrity-culture over the years. Celebrities usually have a large
following and admirers among the youths in Nigeria and their likes and dislikes
often becomes a social convention.
People look up to them as role models and moral guide
and their standards are increasingly becoming social standards for many people.
Most celebrities in Nigeria such as Tonto Dikeh, Omotola Ekehinde and Regina
Daniels who recently got a boost in her status have spent their vacations
abroad and i9t seems to be a yearly affair.
The practice further begs the question whether the
relaxation spots and resorts in Nigeria are not enough to provide the
relaxation that the people seek.
Apart from celebrities, Politicians also influence
the culture of traveling out for vacations and other important affairs. They
are mainly in charge of policy making and implementation and one wonders why
they prefer to have their vacation abroad than in Nigeria where so many tourist
centers abound.
