Sports Is the Way: Online Poll Participants Say of Career to Consider in Entertainment, Snub Acting, Singing
- A lot of young Nigerians are all about getting involved in careers that can significantly increase their earning potentials
- Legit.ng recently conducted an online poll that gave participants an opportunity to pitch their tents under desired fields in the entertainment industry
- Interestingly, majority of the participants snubbed acting, singing and comedy for a career in the sports industry
Apart from the rush for the tech industry, a lot of young Nigerians are now giving stronger considerations to careers in the entertainment industry.
Understandably, this is not unrelated to the larger-than-life lifestyle which is often portrayed by those who have decided to put their all into singing, acting or telling jokes.

Nigerian-American woman opens up on decision to leave the entertainment industry
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian-American evangelist explained why she left acting with Nollywood to become an ambassador of Christ and his church.
Joy Edjeren said she was healed of an ailment that could have damaged her through God's intervention and without drugs. Edjeren also said her experience with her health and God made her write a book about her life on earth.
Her narration read in part:
"At some point, I had left for the US even when I had not finished my business in Ghana. I wanted to buy new dresses to fit into the roles I was to play in the films being produced in Ghana. On my way back to Ghana, after shopping in the US, I found out I was struggling with my health, I had to call my sister for prayers, which made me feel a bit better. Getting to Ghana my health issue increased, which made me miss the movie shoot. I was moved to different doctors but no solution."
