1. Tiwa Savage

Tiwa Savage is the definition of a hustler. Before the girl returned to Nigeria and kicked off her whirlwind career with debut single, Kele Kele, she was hustling overseas trying to make a name for herself. In 2012, she participated in The X Factor UK but was eliminated 12th. She lent her vocals to artistes such as Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, Blu Cantrell, Emma Bunton, Kelly Clarkson, Andrea Bocelli and Ms. Dynamite. She was everywhere, and now all that hustle has paid off and Tiwa is thriving.

2. Mercy Eke

Big Brother Naija winner and ace influencer, Mercy Eke, is another woman who has experienced an incredible glow-up. Look at Mercy now, shining!

3. Korede Bello

Korede Bello burst unto the scene in 2014 with the mega smash, Dorobucci. But prior to that, Korede was just a regular boy living in Nigeria trying to make his dreams come true. His throwback pictures are so funny to look at, and I mean the boy is still very young now, but these pictures are fetus pics! 😂😂

4. Olamide

Olamide is one of those people who very early on knew exactly what he wanted to do. In 2000, at the age of 11, he made the decision to pursue a career in music and 10 years later at 21, he released Eni Duro which blasted him into popularity, and a long successful career since.

But these throwbacks though...very reminiscent of the times.

5. Simi

Simi is another person who has been around. She burst out in a major way with her hit song, Tiff, but the singer has been around way longer than that.

She kicked off her professional music career in 2008 when she released her debut studio album, Ogaju. She did covers, she performed at small shows...the girl hustled, and finally, it all came together and the girl is enjoying a wonderful career right now.

6. Basketmouth

Speaking of people who've been around in this industry, Basketmouth has been doing comedy for years. Years. And thank God truly for that comedy because the way that money really transformed him, it's something to testify about.

7. Cynthia Morgan

Why I think I find this one so funny is because the difference between Cynthia then and now is just crazy to me! The girl is a whole different person now.

8. Taymesan

Funny influencer Taymesan is another boy whose throwback pictures are almost unrecognizable in contrast to the person he is today. I mean, Taymesan has definitely glowed all the way up!

9. Teni

Some people think Teni is loud, she's "overdoing it", she's "always trying to be funny", but when videos (quite a bunch of them actually) of Teni from years ago singing and dancing and being exactly the Teni we know now surfaced online, the haters couldn't help but be silenced because this is one girl who fame hasn't really altered all that much. She was Teni then, she is Teni now.

10. Yemi Alade

This is another girl people think just came out of nowhere. But she didn't. Yemi has been around. Ever since winning the Peak Talent Show, Yemi has been hustling, and finally all that hustle paid off when she released her criticially acclaimed single, Johnny, that took the world by storm.

That's All.
