The advent of the internet and sundry social media has obviously brought with it a lot of blessings.
Apart from making the world a smaller place, it also makes it possible for people to connect with their friends and families in real-time.
Of course, celebrities have also put it to good use by interfacing with their fans, and updating them with their activities per time.
However, just like every other thing is prone to abuse, many have also mis-used social media.
One can easily recall the case of Cynthia Osokogu who was lured to her untimely death by friends she met on Facebook.
Many are also fond of posting inappropriate materials on their social media pages, and celebs are not left out.
Seeing it as another avenue for needless show-off, many celebs post pictures of money, panties, food, and their lovers, which are often greeted by criticism from fans and critics alike.
However, in the midst of all these, there are some celebs who, instead of posting inanities choose to motivate their fans and followers with their updates, but they are very few.
Not limited to Nigeria alone, these celebs include:
Ali Baba
Fondly called the king of stand up comedy in Nigeria, Ali Baba is also a good writer. He usually shares his views on topical issues in the country, as well as his daily experiences, on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Ali is also fond of writing about the movie and comedy industry, as well as lessons he has learnt on his way to the top. Anytime Ali Baba posts his messages, bloggers are quick to transfer it to their blogs, and they do generate a lot of comments.Majid Michel

Funke Kuti
No day passes without the estranged wife of Femi Kuti, Funke, uploading picture quotes which dwell on life in general.

Banky W
Singer and Record Label executive, Banky W is very relevant on social media. He lends his voice to social issues, and never fails to identify with the man on the street. In 2014, he was in the Arik Air flight that reportedly locked its passengers in a hot aircraft for hours, and he took to his Twitter page and blog to shed more light on the unfortunate incident. He was also active during the last election, posting pictures of himself and other celebs at the polling station.
