Sometimes, the art of entertainment is a family affair and in Nigeria, there are several talented people who happen to share the spotlight with one family member or even more.

They say that lightning never strikes the same place twice, but the opposite seems to be true for some Nigerian celebrity siblings who have managed to create a name for themselves in their various fields of work.

What is even more amazing is how some of these popular siblings continue to excel in the same careers without any form of rivalry.

Although the same cannot be said for the likes of Peter and Paul of the defunct Psquare, most of these celebrity blood relatives continue to serve major sibling goals.
