Dear celebrity/entertainers, don't let financial stress lead you to depression. Get knowledge on your situation. April 3rd

In Nigeria, financial stress has been a major cause of depression and sometimes getting people to the level where they intend taking their own life.

Lately, the entertainment industry has also been put in the spot light as many entertainers and celebrity get into depression due to poor financial management skill and lack of financial intelligence. The economy has not remained the way it was and it is also biting hard on the entertainment industry, and surviving times like this, you need to know how to invest every penny you earn as a brand.

Truth is a lot of entertainers start quite well when they are fresh into the industry but the question is how well do they manage their brand such that they can remain in the industry for years, doing well professionally and financially despite the prevalent issues in the industry?

Despite its challenges, the Nigerian entertainment industry remains a goldmine and one of the things required to enjoy the potentials that lies in it is personal brand building. It is a necessity that most celebrities and entertainers take for granted but which later haunts them in their professional journey.

A well built and managed brand will open doors to other jobs such as endorsements, brand ambassador/influencer, events, adverts, compere of events etc. thereby keeping the financial aspect fluid and balanced enough to reduce the depression that comes with financial stress. A short-lived brand leads to a short-lived career and a crumbling financial position which can lead to depression and even suicide.
