What are some of the hot fashion trends in Nigeria right now?
“Nigerian girls love to dress in mostly

TAW:
How would you describe the modelling industry in your country, especially from
the point of view of someone aspiring like yourself?
“The Nigerian Modelling industry has
improved but I can say it is where it should be. Its not easy at all to break
in as there are lots of fake agencies and agents who take advantage of
aspirants and registration is expensive.”
TAW:

2. Fuse Odg and Wyclef - antenna
