The entire ‘social media world’ has been agog with the messy divorce between popular Nigerian Pastor, Chris Oyakhilome and his wife, Pastor Anita. However the untold story behind the divorce is what you may not have heard before. According to a member of Oyakhilome’s Christ Embassy Church at Ikotun Egbe Parish who spoke on the condition of anonymity, it was the cleric’s alleged unholy romance with Sinach, a female Gospel singer with the Church that crashed his marriage. “Pastor Chris’ wife had been unhappy with his rumoured

P-square, 2face, D'banj, Omawumi Others Top Highest Paid Nigerian Artistes List ….What They Earn

Let’s play the tape back from the very start till now. There has been tremendous revolution within Nigerian Entertainment Industry. In the past, entertainers had to sleep at people’s doorsteps for their voice to be heard.
Now, they are not only running the show, they are also smiling to the banks in a big way. They now own the most fashionable cars, most beautiful houses and other endorsements. Back then, promoters paid peanuts to musicians while they spent so much on foreign stars. In this write-up, Isaac Oguntoye lists out the richest among the Nigerian artistes. Basically, each artiste has a standard fee for gigs, concerts but for private parties such as birthday, wedding, etc, they charge according to their ratings. Some people would call for reduction simply because they are individuals, not brand. It depends on the artistes whether to accept or not. This list was put together strictly on how much they earn per show, influence and so many other factors.

P-Square
Gangling musical act, P-square can be referred to as the most consistent of all time. Without mincing words, the Alingo exponents are rocking the town currently. Any show or concert that P-Square graces is a big one. Their official fee, we learnt is 15 million naira. Most concerts during festive period have their face on them. The music duo has featured on Forbes Africa twice. They have recorded big concerts and have been presidential guests in at least five African countries according to report. 
D’banj
Nigerian singer-songwriter, harmonica player, and businessman, Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo is one artiste that sells shows in Nigeria despite his new status. Virtually, all big concerts in Nigeria would have D'Banj's face on it. Before he pitched his tent with Good Music in America, the Ogun State born singer charged nothing less than N15 million per event appearance. But now, his strength and availability have drastically dropped to the extent that he hardly graces some major concerts within the country. At the moment, we gathered from close source that, he charges between N5 million and N7million as performance fee for local gigs; $80,000 to $150,000 for African shows; £40,000 to £60,000 for UK shows; and $50,000 to $60,000 for American shows.
