Nigerian Celebrities That Have Defied Aging

Being young is one of the most exciting phases in anyone’s life. However, maintaining youthful looks long after your youthful years is a different level of grace on its own. When persons in their 40s and 50s appear like they’re twenty and thirty-year-olds, looking as radiant and beautiful as ever, we can say that they have refused to age.

A number of Nigerian celebrities fall into this category, maintaining beauty and youthful looks, and giving life to the saying “Balck Don’t Crack”. In no particular order, this article reveals a handful of the many Nigerian celebrities who possess this special gift. Enjoy!

Rita Dominic

The ever radiant, beautiful, and talented Rita Dominic is one Nigerian celebrity on whom the aging process has refused to take its toll.

With each passing day, the actress appears to be getting younger.

Tiwa Savage

The Koroba crooner and internationally renowned singer and songwriter, Tiwa Savage is a very talented woman who doesn’t appear to have aged by a single day.

Richard Mofe Damijo a.k.a. RMD

Popularly known as RMD, this 60-year-old man has managed to remain the cynosure of eyes, all thanks to his graceful, young, and dashing looks. Growing up, we all knew RMD as the leading man in many romance-themed Nollywood movies. He was the star of many women’s fantasies, and even now, he still is, gaining fans by the droves in every succeeding generation. The veteran actor seems to be aging backward, looking even better as the years go by. Not only is RMD a youth by looks, but he is also young at heart; take a quick look at his Instagram if you don’t believe me. The widely-acclaimed Zaddy* recently pierced his ears, too. If that isn’t youthfulness, I don’t know what is!

At 42, she could pass for a 20-year-old, and it’s always so comical when she poses with her sons and looks like their sibling.
