Most Nigerian celebrities are known for constantly showing off important parts of their lives online. The 2023 hajj, despite its holy importance, did not stop some Yoruba movie stars from giving netizens updates.
For some, the holy pilgrimage marks their final submission to Allah as Muslims, and for others, their life experienced an increase.
Nollynaijanews has compiled a list of celebrities who have got fans gushing over their updates from Hajj.

4. Kemi Afolabi in Makkah This is reportedly not the actress’ first time on a holy pilgrimage, but she still shared a photo with fans. Kemi Afolabi shared a photo of herself looking stunning in a hijab, a piece of clothing she doesn’t really flaunt in Nigeria. The mum of one also showered herself with beautiful prayers.
5. Cute Abiola welcomes son in Makkah Cute Abiola will return to Nigeria as a first-time father as his wife had their son in Makkah.
