By Bob Anikwe


Let's consider adding this word to the Nigerian English lexicon. Those in favour, vote. Those against, hold your peace!

YEYEBRITYi (ye·​yeb·​ri·​ty | \ yə-ˈye-brə-tē)

PLURAL: Yeyebrities

DEFINITIONS:

1. The state of actively seeking to be generally known and talked of, without character or achievements/NOTORIETY

E.g. Charly Boy started as a yeyebrity but eventually became a celebrity.

E.g. Bobrisky lives a life of yeyebrity.


2. An any-publicity-is-good-publicity or yeyebrated person
