Here’s the gist, I never really understood why so many fans fall head over heels for Celebrities, what was up with all the shouting and screams, why fans of the late Micheal Jackson would lose consciousness just by having him touch them. And sure it baffled me for a long time, I mean the guy was just a MAN, right?.
I like to apologize to non biology folks, cause, I mean I am a biochemist, I can’t but rep. So here’s the simple explanation, I do hope you get it:
There are basically Four Hormones/Neurotransmitters responsible for this behaviour:

- Cortisol is a stress hormone
- Dopamine seeks out pleasure
- Norepinephrine makes you highly excitable
- Serotonin is a mood stabilizer.
When you see a Celebrity you are a fan of: your Serotonin level drops, Cortisol production increases, Dopamine is released as a result and because it requires a high level of risk on your part, Norepinephrine is produced which makes you uncontrollably excited.Obviously, this science stuff is not the reason I wrote this post in the first place. So, here is the story: Truth be told I wasn’t overly excited to go to church this Sunday, and I kept coming up with some excuses like every typical person would, and one which most people will agree with is: I don’t have any cloth to wear. To cut the long story short I finally decided on what to wear, just very simple cloths I was Comfortable with, emphasis on the Comfortable. We got to church and hey by the way I am a member of Daystar or Daystar Christian Church as some people known it as, and normal normal na the usher directed us to our seats and service started, praise and worship was blissful. Pastor then asked us to greet our neighbours right after our regular prayer session, I turned and lo and behold it was EVA ALORDIAH, I couldn’t contain my excitement, so I told my brother who was seated a seat away from me. I whispered to him; that’s Eva. I made up my mind right there and then I wasn’t going to let this one slide, I had to take a Selfy with her.
Of course I was listening to Pastor Sam Adeyemi’s sermon, which was about Forgiveness (It pays to forgive). With all those neurotransmitters I described earlier making me uncontrollably exicted I made it through service and walked up to her.
Here is how the conversation went
Me: Hi Eva, I am Segun. It nice seeing you here
Eva: Thanks
Me: I really love your jam: Deaf and eerh, War coming, and congratulations on your new album
Eva: Thanks, what’s your name?
Me: Segun…….. Do you mind if I take a picture with you
Eva: …….Yes, but it has to be quick, you know we are in church
Me: No problem.
I took the picture
Me: It was nice meeting, do have a wonderful week
Eva: Thanks, Bye.
Here is are some of the pictures we took.
Yeeaah! I know, it’s obvious I couldn’t contain the excitement, I mean look at that smile; it’s so wide. I literally was on cloud 9 and I finally understood all celebrity fans; when you see someone you really like, it’s impossible to hide such excitement. This is one experience I won’t forget.
So here is a shout out to a beautiful, lovely, and wonderful rapper EVA ALORDIAH, her smile is so warm and friendly it literally makes your day.
