The list, compiled by EllaNews provides a number of them.
1. ASA attended public schools
Bukola Elemide, professionally known as Asa, is a Nigerian singer who lives a low-key lifestyle. The singer, despite being from a wealthy home, attended public schools. Perhaps this habit was inculcated in her from childhood, as it seems her parents were that way, too.
The Afro-pop musician is one of the few Nigerian celebrities who have signed up for a foreign music label. As silent as she keeps her moves, her music is well known on the local and international fronts.
She is estimated to be worth $5M.

Innocent Idibia, professionally known as 2baba, is one of the biggest Nigerian entertainers. He has stayed relevant in his craft for about 20 years, and his humility cannot be sidelined. The veteran singer is also the label boss of Hypertek Digital.
